Australians getting fucked with book prices

Google can link Amazon directly into your blog now. In Australia this is kind of pointless because we dont have Amazon over here, you cant buy ebooks from the store and we are pretty much treated like shit for all online content.

My brother buys shit of Amazon.uk all the time, and stuff is delivered the next day.
I bought this book from ebay second hand for $20 shipped.



To buy it new is $115 in a Perth bookstore! What the FUCK?

Computer Games Can Teach

Quote From Deus Ex. - Why the anarchists beleive they are the good guys
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leo Gold: "Don’t believe me? It’s all in the numbers. For a hundred years, there’s been a conspiracy of plutocrats against ordinary people."
JC Denton: "Do you have a single fact to back that up?"
Leo Gold: "Number one: In 1945, corporations paid 50 percent of federal taxes. Now they pay about 5 percent. Number two: in 1900, 90 percent of Americans were self-employed; now it’s about two percent."
JC Denton: "So?"
Leo Gold: "It’s called consolidation. Strengthen governments and corporations, weaken individuals. With taxes, this can be done imperceptibly over time."

Happy Easter All

This is the first time in my life that I am away from my friends and family for Easter. Pretty sucky feeling. Up here you wouldn't know its easter except for the occasional person eating a hot cross bun for breakfast.

Hope everyone has a good day of family fun and reflection on this very meaningful day.
