I just got my Masters in Accounting! Accredited school, no online
bullshit. I decided to save money by downloading my textbooks in PDF
format. No DRM of course! Then I printed them out! Of course not on
my own printer, there's an IBM office down the road with a huge Ricoh
printer in their lobby. The network is wide open! So I would send half
the book one day, go get it, and half the book the next day. I never
got caught!
See? Check out the collection!

http://tinypic.com/r/2q8v782/6

Let's see how much I saved!

The list is by title, ISBN, new cost/lowest used cost.

Fundamentals of Financial Management 12th Ed., 978-0-324-59770-7, $33/14.

Fundamentals of Financial Management 13th Ed., 978-0-273-71363-0, $94/40

(the only differences between the 12th and 13th editions are some of the
chapter practice problems.)

FORMULAS AND FUNCTIONS MICROSOFT EXCEL 2010, 978-0-7897-4306-0, $24/23
(optional for some of my first classes)

Intermediate Accounting 13th edition, 978-0-470-37494-8, $244/44

Intermediate Accounting 14th edition, 978-0-470-58723-2, $191/126
Again, minimal differences between the two editions.

International Accounting 7th Ed., 978-0-13-611147-4, $172/62

Excel 2010 Formulas, 978-0-470-47536-2, $26/23
(this one was optional for an analysis class.)

That's fine. Go on. Explain your reasoning. Think of it as an essay
project or something. You probably never had to write any sort of
paper, so I'll spare you the MLA formatting rules.

Are you retarded?

You downloaded material meant for sale (nothing you said indicates
anything else) , and illegally copied it without the printer owners
knowing. "I never got caught".

And unsurprisingly you are wrong. I have a BSc in EE - unlike
turdv. And, of course, why I know his claim that negative feedback causes, in
the general case, exactly the opposite of stability is bullshit. You'll
note the ONLY person supporting turd is group fluffer and syncophantic
weenie Creepy Chris Ahlstrom.

That's a start.
How about going on about who I harmed. Also, let me pose a question.
Why does the company have more rights than the individual?

I do not know how many laws you are breaking, but I would say you are acting
contrary to what my morals would allow. But I tend to have very high moral
standards.

Years ago Snit showed the same hubris. Ebot and I tracked him down and
found where he worked, where he lived, his phone number, his private
email and much more. We even found his neighbors name and would tease
him and tell him we had them watching him but would mention them by
name. He did not know what to make of any of it. That is why he
started contacting my wife and calling Ebot. That was going to far to
actually contact people in his life. I just threatened but would never
do it.

My neighbor's name is Henry. He's a Korean and Vietnam war vet. At the
last BBQ he had, I told him how I hoped there was a war with Iran and
they brought back the draft. He agreed, until I said I would bribe
somebody to evade it.

Yep and the press and Obama, particularly Obama, are now starting to
call him out on his misleading and doing and saying anything to close
the deal. He said one thing in Iowa, and he said something else
elsewhere on the same day.

The man is obnoxious on women rights.

The sad thing is, if the press does not claim as many lies for Obama as they
do Romney they will be called biased - because, the right wing says, to be
honest is to be biased against them. Heck, to accept evidence and data is
to be "biased" against them - just look at their BS on global warming.

The man says whatever he thinks will get him support... and people are
stupid enough to fall for it.

The bottom line is corporations will cash whip Romedy, and the Tea Party
will walk like a dog, if he gets the presidency. He is only sitting at a
28% chance of being elected, and let's hope that goes down.

You have Plutocrat CEO(s) now threatening to firer its employees if
Obama gets elected and raises their taxes.
