It's been there for at least several months. They don't advertise it as much because it doesn't earn them money to do that.

I got in on the free for a year student promotion just before I graduated, and it definitely changes the way you buy things, or even think about buying things. Almost anything you want is 2 business days away. Combined with free returns,

Have you used it? I use it all the time now and can't go back to 3.6, despite the comparative bugginess of 4b7.

This is a common mistake to make when you don't really understand how language works. The dictionary definitions (or 'meanings') of words are mostly irrelevant. The only purpose of words is to link a signifier to a mental construct. All

So you can have two versions of a circle, one with circumference = pi, and one with circumference = wtf?

You might also be looking for the guy who might have too much to drink, get into an argument with his seat neighbor, then reach into his bag for his glock. Has this ever happened?
