Twenty years ago, I used to gather books and sell them on Amazon.  I would enter the ISBN and for each book, set my price, and soon someone would buy.  Amazon would take a big cut, but at least I could make some money.  Then, monthly charges were for big sellers.  Now, I have some books I want to sell.  I went to Amazon to try to sell some of them.  The only thing I could find today was "Become and Amazon seller for $39.99 a month."

Can an individual still sell a few books on Amazon without opening an Amazon sellers account or has that program ended?  If people can no longer sell a few books at Amazon, is there another place where people can?

There is strong proof that empty space is not empty.  Electron/positron pairs pop into existence everywhere at all times. Since time slows where gravity is highest, is it possible the rate of the creation of these pairs from the perspective of within the gravitational field or outside of it? 

It seems to me a falling object would fall, constantly accelerating, but never going fast enough to fall beyond the event horizon.  It would eventually dissolve into Hawking radiation in the distant future.

From the POV of the object, it would fall as normal, but it would burn and explode at some point.  It may seem like seconds to the object.

Intuitively, since space is curved, it seems like the center of a black hole exists outside of space-time.  Am I missing something?  

Does the celebrant meet the couple at the courthouse? Does the couple go to the celebrants office? Vows in a civil ceremony?

I don't have the ability to get a clearance on my own because I am not currently sponsored by a government agency. I am an American citizen with no criminal record.

People from the US will get sick from drinking water in less developed countries while people in these less developed countries seldom get symptoms. Is it possible for the immune system of an American to adjust to such changes in the water supply?

A friend of mine in a French-speaking country has told her best about me. She gave me her friend's email and asked me to become mutual friends with her best friend. Should I use formal or informal language?

This is for APA style. I have sources in mixture of languages. Some languages use latin alphabet and some use cyrillic alphabet.

I earned a Bachelor's in Computer Science and worked about 20 years as in the programming field, from COBOL and DEC C in the 80's to Visual Studio.NET and Microsoft SQL Server in the 2000's. Though I felt I was experienced and "one of the best," I wasn't able to find a job in programming after a layoff about a decade ago, so I moved into another field. I kept myself programming as a hobby to keep sharp and learn new languages.

Now, at 50 years old, I've heard the job market is better now and there are jobs available now for those that are good at programming. How to get in the door for an interview? Will certifications help? Should I present a portfolio of my practice programs?

“The real difficulty is with the vast wealth and power in the hands of the few and the unscrupulous who represent or control capital. Hundreds of laws of Congress and the state legislatures are in the interest of these men and against the interests of workingmen. These need to be exposed and repealed. All laws on corporations, on taxation, on trusts, wills, descent, and the like, need examination and extensive change. This is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people no longer. It is a government of corporations, by corporations, and for corporations.”

Are such thoughts applicable today?

Please support with Biblical text. If you don't believe He exists, just pretend He does for a moment to answer the question.

Finanzspekulationen verursachte Probleme weltweit im Jahr 2008. Kann oder sollte der Welt zu engagieren das? Wenn ja, wie?

Ich hoffe, das war verständlich. Bitte entschuldigen Sie meine unzureichende Deutsch. Vielen Dank im Voraus für die Antworten.

Sure, a fast food worker may earn about 15,000 dollars per year. This worker may lack health insurance and rely on food stamps. Still, this worker may contribute 30-50k in profits for the company or companies where he or she works. These profits are redistributed to the millionaire and billionaire stockholders. Is it so unjust for some of these profits to return to the worker in the form of medical insurance and food stamps?

I had two crowns connected to posts going through my upper incisors. They broke. The rest of my teeth are fine. The dentist says not enough of either of the original teeth remain to do crowns again. Do I have to go with a partial denture, or are there other possibilities?

God loves the most vulnerable among us, but it seems like the Tea Party wants them to suffer when God has blessed this nation so much. Although sexual sin is bad, Jesus showed mercy to the woman at the well. God named his reason for destroying Sodom and Gomorrah:

“Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters had pride, much food, and too much rest, but she did not help those who were poor and in need.” Ezekiel 16:49

How would God respond to the treatment of a poor woman, trying to raise their children while being paid slave wages?

“Don’t mistreat widows or orphans. If you do and they cry out to me, you can be sure I’ll take them most seriously; I’ll show my anger and come raging among you with the sword, and your wives will end up widows and your children orphans.” Exodus 22:22-24

What about the Mexican immigrants? What would God say about them?

“You must not mistreat or oppress foreigners in any way. Remember, you yourselves were once foreigners in the land of Egypt.” Exodus 22:21

How are we treating Jesus when the poor suffer?

"And he will answer, ‘I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.’" Matthew 25:45

What about the love of money? Does the Tea Party platform combat greed, or does it support it?

“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” Matthew 6:24

"Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy." Ezekiel 16:49
