Today I had funny experience with Amazon.
Years ago they shipped everything out ASAP, regardless what shipping method was chosen.
Then customers realized there is no point using anything else but free shipping and Amazon reacted, they started dragging feet with free shipping orders.
Today I ordered a dehumidifier. Ten minutes later I found the same unit for 10% less elsewhere. I went to look at my order and it was to be shipped on 21st. I requested cancellation. In drop-down menu I chose "found it cheaper elsewhere". My request was denied ... and it was shipped out in no time!
Conclusion. Do not tell them you found it cheaper elsewhere ... unless you want to speed up your order.
I am far more concerned that banking institutions and credit card companies will actually screen WHO one buys from or funds as if THEY own your money instead of you. For example they will allow donating to The American Nazi Party but refuse transaction with anyone they find offensive, like sexually explicit vendors or political dissenters. Regardless of what you may think of their choices, exactly why do they have a choice in your property at all? Would they, do they, accept the reverse, if it was their ox being gored? I think not. So much for Free and Equal.
Distribution: Fedora (typically latest release or development release)
