Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work in Test Driven > 3.0

Re: How Amazon closed my Affiliate program account, and how I got it back

It looks like being a US citizen this time is a Liability. If any State in the US passes a law Amazon does not like ,then Amazon can go and close your account overnight. I think it is about time all US residents that are making big bucks as Amazon Advertising affiliates start thinking hard about when and how they are going to move out of the USA,because otherwise they might lose it all overnight because they are at the mercy of the politicians and of mighty Amazon. That might not be too bad.They are lots of places on the planet that are safer and the cost of living is a lot lower.Another benefit.Not paying taxes to Uncle Sam ;)

The Amazon main US site just says not available. Wonder why they don't publicize the reshipping business model? Seems a great idea.

To turn it off -- until they make it mandatory? -- delete the PREF cookie. See the screenshot.

I have bought a kindle keyboard 3G + Wifi 189$ 3 weeks ago. I ordered it from amazon 1 click with my israeli visa, I had it sent to my name c/o cousin in anrica, who brought it here.

I plugged it in and it will not work, the screen is frozen, Unfortunately I dont have the original packing, which Amazon require. Does anybody have any idea what I should do. I sent them emails, they I have to call, time is running out. If anybody has some advice or experience, I would be thankful, Annnette Atsmon

Thanks! This is by no means official information, just based on personal experience. Will try and keep this page alive, it seems to be very active lately!

I'm near Philadelphia, PA, USA, but a friend living in Haifa just asked me this question so I directed her to this page. It looks like this is a frequently asked question, so thanks and keep the info updated!

I don't think you can. Kindle is a device sold exclusively by Amazon (and select electronic retailers in the US), I am not aware of any store selling it in Israel, and I think it would be much more expensive, since we all know how Israeli retailers like to inflate prices on electronics (see iDigital). It's much cheaper to order it yourself via Amazon directly.

Can't I buy a Kindle "over the counter" in Israel as I did in the US? (I want to offer one here). There are no shops selling them?

You just blew my mind. I've wanted to do this so that I can stop using Translit crap for so many years, and, of course, Google, of all companies, did it. Sure, no caps, but it's still quite perfect for 99% of my uses.

For Japanese, yes, not for Russian (or other languages, like Hebrew)...

Doesn't Windows already have an IME built-in? I use it for Japanese ....

Too bad everything is in lower case and google hasn't bothered to fix for over a year.

Re: Where unit testing fails

TDD doesn't help you derive a solution or an algorithm. If you do not
know the solution or have no clue about the algorithm to use, TDD is not
going to help you. TDD only promises a better design. See the wiki for

Re: Where unit testing fails

That's right. But it can still help you to solve something you didn't grok yet. I used unit tests the first time I implemented an AVL Tree. And it was very helpful, cause every case I wrote, I broke the others. Ok, I was learning and the tests help me to not only finish the problem, but also that I was probably solving it the wrong order.
