Hi guys.
I watch this index each month, and D moved 20 places up between 
January and February. it's now in the supposedly "top 20 most 
popular programming languages". I don't know yet whether this 
is due to some artefacts or if it reflects something true about 
D popularity.

How can two things be cheaper than one? It doesn't add up. Is 
there a mistake?


Many publishers want to disincentivize ebook sales while 
artificially pushing up print sales, that's probably why.  Part 
of it is that they already have money invested in printing 
presses and the like, so they don't want that investment 
demolished by everyone buying ebooks.  Another piece is that they 
may feel, rightly or wrongly, that they don't have much to 
contribute to ebook sales, so they use such weird pricing to try 
and suppress pure ebook sales alone, because someday they will go 
out of business if they just sell ebooks.


Strictly speaking, it is irrational, or at the very least too 
skewed towards dying technology and business models.  But then 
people do dumb things all the time, especially those whose 
business is heading for obsolescence. :)
