@AJHenderson bytheway, you seem to have different pricing in the US. They are charging more with Euros. 25€ per month (that includes VAT) is $32.50 a month.
If we paid $20 a month, I read it as 15.50 in Euros
Got the prices from Adobe's product page, where there is a selector for prices in different currencies.
Wondering why the price is $20 when you pay in dollars,
and suddenly the equivalent of $32.50 if you choose to pay in Euros.
One Euro is 1.30 USD. But it almost looks like they have it upsidedown
if one USD was 1.30 Euro, then the pricing almost makes sense
Prices from Adobe's page : $19.99 per month - €24.59 per month

things are always much more expensive in EU
canon 85mm 1.8 is like 350$
but in EU it is more like 600
even the ebay used market refrect this
a used one goes for 280$
in ebay.com
but ebay.co.uk, ebay.de it goes for 400
and it is not just the xtra import taxes
as that accounts for only 16%
and VAT is depending on the country and state 12-20% more
there is also a financial structure difference
and adobe has offices in EU to support their EU sales, and tehy cost them more than their US ones
and thus the price in EU is bigger
Lightroom 4 also costs around 100$ on amazon, while adobes website in EU is 150$
Euro
Almost 200$

Q: How to add fresh fruit chunks to ice cream?

KatieKWhat are the key techniques when adding chunks of fresh fruit to homemade ice cream? How do I prepare the fruit, and when is the best time to add it to the ice cream? I don't want the fruit to be a hard icy chunk in the middle of the ice cream when it's served. I've used strawberries in this e...

 
lol, priceless :D
 
but I did get my answer though, as I was looking for ow to give icecream fruit flavour wihtout icecrystals
and I did just add the purree to my vanilla icecream mixture, while I should be substituting the milk for purree
to keep the fat content high enough

@EsaPaulasto That's the "piracy" they are talking about. In the mashable article I think it was, the CEO of Adobe flat out said it would cut down on grey market sales when talking about how it would reduce piracy. So apparently if you don't pay them as much as they want, even if you pay them for the price they sell it someplace else, he considers it piracy
which is the only part where it would be at all effective is making it so that people actually have to pay more in areas where they decide to charge more
since they have your mailing address
sure corporations can globalize where they send their labor force, but that doesn't mean we should be able to globalize where we buy stuff
duh!
