That's the edition I have. I'll let it go for half that price.

Better hang on to it for another 20 years, because the price will rise exponentially and you'll be able to retire on the $4,839,283,356.62 that you get when it sells at auction at Sotheby's.

I can't guarantee the state it'll be in, in 20 years. I'll take a tenth of that if you want it today at that price. I'll even fly wherever you are and hand-deliver it in person.

I'm tempted, but no way am I going to pay as much as 3.99 for postage!

I would really really buy it, but... there's only one left in stock, and you have seen it first!

I was looking for a book on the Z80 and a new hard bound edition was $13K. I tried to go back and find it but failed.
It's been 6 months since I joined the gym and there's been no progress. I'm going there tomorrow in person to find out what's really going on!

It's probably money laundering.

Nah. Just algorithmic price setting failures. That's nowhere near the greatest fail they've committed.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Yeah, when I originally saw the paperback of Petzold for $973 the hardback was listed at @ $298 or something, but then it disappeared.

It depends on how nice the police were to it.

I'm sure they'll get it fixed soon
after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!

So for I don't know, a week? I've been working on optimizing a finite automota powerset construction algorithm to work with unicode ranges without breaking it.
The "without breaking it" bit has me in fits. I've tried two different ways of tackling it on my own, and that worked until it didn't  at which point I ripped a technique off from another library, and that I thought worked, again, until it didn't. 
So now I'm just gutting the engine out of GPLEX and using that as the heart of Rolex.
Screw it. I know a wall when I hit one.
Now I just have to get the Gplex code torn down, retooled and slangified. No small feat. Harder in fact then if i had just gotten the above working.

Hey, I test all my code in Production and if it works more than 50% of the time, I'm winning.
I don't document anything, and I abhor scale-ability designs and frameworks.
I don't hit walls, I build them.

aren't you glad we don't build bridges and skyscrapers?
Honestly though, my issue surprisingly isn't a testing issue so much as a design issue. My algo is Wrong(TM).
The trouble is, I can't seem to find the Right(TM) way to do it.
