"Somehow, all this makes me think of using Excel to write a love letter.""Instead of the logical presentation order, I present material in the order that I think it'd be interesting to read it. This means we don't start with Lisp Myths, with the History Of Lisp, or with CAR and CDR and asides about the IBM 704 and box/pointer diagrams. We start with how to install a Lisp compiler."Pinku Surana: "[...] HP is using a futures market to help predict their sales revenue. Rather than ask mid-level sales manager for their sales forecasts, HP's electronic market allows sales people to anonymously bet on the upcoming sales numbers. If you bet correctly, you make money. Rather than ask a sales person for their revenue forecasts directly (they will feel pressured to deliver optimistic numbers), an anonymous market is the best way to aggregate information from all relevant employees into a single forecast number.""[Cleveland Wilson] discovered a program called ScoutPal that uses Amazon Web services to let booksellers type or scan in a book's ISBN number to a laptop or wireless Web device and instantly see what it's selling for on Amazon. So when he visits thrift stores and garage sales, he can buy books he knows will be profitable to resell."

Joey MacArthur added: "You may also checkout bookgecko which offers the same type of service, but at no charge. Free book scouting for all users. Works with PDAs and cell phones. Find it at www.bookgecko.com." print.google.com / cloned
