There's a stats view under My Books with both a book and page view. In order for it be accurate you need to include a read date for every book you read though.

The price at its peak was nearly $1200, so over a billion.

In AK-47, the 47 comes from the year the design was finished, design work didn't even begin until 1945, so the AK-47 certainly didn't help them win WW2.

It's nice to know that the other people watching a show are also at the same point as you are (or relatively close), allowing you to speculate on what might happen next in the time between episodes.

I also like looking forward to the next episode, which doesn't really happen when you can watch that next episode immediately (and self imposed waiting doesn't feel the same).

> "They will take HBO linear and call it HBO Linear,” he said. “That is HBO if you really want to watch it on somebody else’s schedule.”

Am I the only one who likes shows being made available once a week, rather than all at once?

This is a no tuition guarantee, not a no parental contribution guarantee. In effect they are saying that if you make under 125,000, you'll only pay 20-25k for living expenses (room/board/textbooks/etc), which is similar to Harvard and Princeton, considering they both try to structure aid so families do not have to take loans out to pay them. Coincidentally (or not), this is also equivalent to the FAFSA EFC as you mentioned.

In this announcement Stanford clearly says that the no parental contribution level is 65,000, raised from 60,000 and now equivalent to Harvard/Princeton.
