Not when you have to buy a book to get a code to use a shitty website to turn in homework.
The worst is when you get a professor who wrote the book. He sells an online version that you have to pay to download, and you have to turn in the receipt and order number or you fail the class, preventing people from pitching in on one download and making copies. Shit's fucked up
I had one professor who demanded we buy a BRAND FUCKING NEW PDR every time it came out. And carry it to class. And we barely used it.
PICTURED ACTUAL SIZE
It was one of the first things I ever put on a credit card because on my wages I could never buy it outright.
The biggest kick in the teeth was the book buyback table across from the bookstore, where they'd look at the perfect-condition $300 book you'd just bought a few WEEKS before, in some cases, and tell you they'd give you $2 for it.

Because the prof wanted you to buy it BRAND SPANKING NEW, the people at the buyback table knew there was no market for even a slightly used copy.
If you still have it, you could probably sell it on half.com for .... well, about half the current market price.

I always figured PDRs are always pretty much useless if they're not the current year. I got rid of all mine as soon as I was out of school. As a matter of fact, I only kept a couple of physiology texts, a really cool anatomy text that was basically a picture book of real cadavers, and some paperback general medicine text. Oh...and "Where There Is No Doctor" and "Where There is No Dentist", because you never know when you'll need to make a treadle dental drill out of tin can scraps.
Today, I was taking photographs of my mother's garden and accidentally stepped on an anthill. My shoes filled with angry ants, and now my feet are puffy and itchy. FML.
today i was looking at a tree while waiting for the bus and i noticed there was a hole in it and it looked weird on the inside so i stuck my hand in and touched it and there was like a bunch of really soft dirt and i moved it all around
turns out it was an ant nest or some shit cause like 2 minutes later there was a thousand panicked ants everywhere.
