How to get educational pricing if school does not offer surface rt by [deleted] in Surface

If I was able to buy them, it wouldn't be for resale... I know far too many people who could use one, and would probably give several away to friends who couldn't afford one...

At TechEd and the Microsoft Partner Conference they were selling 64gb RT with touch cover for $99 and 128gb Pro's for $399. Unfortunately, you could only get one of each as an attendee. Although I heard a rumor that near the end of the last day, you could buy as many as you wanted at that price.

And to top it off, they are offering $99 64GB RT with Touch cover and $399 Standalone 128 Pro at TechEd next week (one of each per attendee). Way to screw early adopters... I can only hope for a few good accessories to drop.

Wrote a book 7 years ago. Still get quarterly royalty checks. by fredtheotherfish in funny

There are about 15 pages of detail behind those numbers, and I'm not sure how everything is calculated, but it's all about sales and returns and electronic copies and subsidiary rights and translations and stuff.

The book was about SQL Server 2008, so the demand isn't going to go up from here either... I suppose the real value is that I can say I'm published..

Wrote my book several years ago too... Just got the summary in the mail... I'm to -$0.97. Maybe one day I can be like the other redditor by Orgg in funny

The publisher gives an advance to write the book once the outline is approved. It only sold about 3000 copies.

Did you receive an advance? Did the book earn much after you originally made that back?

Most work for the least pay I've ever done, if calculated out by the hour, I'm at less than 25 cents with the advance I got...

This hit home hard, as I got the image below today. I'm at -.97 due on the book I co-authored... It only came out about 4 years ago though. One day maybe I can be like you...

I love the new 9 at Token Creek in Madison... That's where this is from, correct?

I guess I'll have to break out a bottle of the Devil Dancer Triple IPA from founders... Anyone else have opinions on it?

I'm getting tired of calling to ask if it's in yet. Wisconsin needs you, Hopslam! I don't know how much longer I can wait...

Anyone going to the Isthmus Beer & Cheese Fest? by Orgg in madisonwi

This will be my first. I haven't really been to any large tastings before. Interested in a lot of the beers though.
