If they're retailers, they're not likely to take you up on your offer. You can show them this and try the old, "they didn't even sell for $750" tactic, which gives you a little more credence. Or, if you're passive like I am, you could just say, "what is your best price, including shipping and insurance?" That actually works sometimes, especially if you're polite about it. And tell them that "you're ready to buy now". But someone with more experience negotiating online will give you a better answer.

I'm pretty sure I don't want "plump" tonal quality. Sounds bloated. Me too!

Computer cases are usually shielded, as long as you keep the cover on.

You mean, "strong" wind, right? Because he got strong wind, but not necessarily good wind. In fact, "assault and battery" is probably more indicative of "not good".

Or, you know, you could -- instead of worrying about "phases" and shit like that -- you could just divide the signal up into tiny increments based on time. Then you could amplify each bit separately. If you made your increments tiny enough, it wouldn't even have to be that accurate -- it could just be a full-on, full-off type number, and then it would have an equivalent effect.

Those are some really great shots, guys.

Yeah, I wish Zojirushi would make a smaller one -- hey, Zojirushi owners, how long have you had your water heater? I have a cheap (forty-dollah) Bodum that lasted 3 years (since 2005).

That's a weird looking back, they aren't ribbons, perchance, are they?

Yeah, those guys are pretty picky -- I remember reading an article once about a guy who was doing a master for them -- I think it was Keyboard magazine? He was getting really picky about things.

Yeah, really, what sort of idiot goes parasailing in a potential hurricane?

I've seen them go for under US$1K used.

This is due for an EPIC FAIL animated gif: BlueBox Video Player - weather.com Translation: I was trying not to laugh. It got easier when I saw the blood, but man, when he was just flailing about, I had to bite my tongue. "Dude! Let go!"

Yeah, that's what I thought. Zero effect. And they are right up against them, to minimize edge diffraction.

Why, are they heartier because they spend so much of their life shivering? More muscle mass? More fat?

x2 -- there's really nothing like fresh fish.

Quad 12L active -- I think they're shielded, but I have a CRT so it doesn't matter. How can I check?

:drool: EDIT:

I think we should call it the (pip)squeak.

It does, and it reminds me of roses.

It's obviously trying to downplay the ploys of sharks! Yeah, I don't think I'd call that political either.

So...not exactly successful in the imagery I was trying to capture, but the idea that I was trying to put forth was chaos/anarchy/entropy/random motion -- "flailing about". So...never mind.

Epic flail?
