Living Room / Re: silly humor - post 'em here! [warning some NSFW and adult content]

See what happens?...

Another clumsy vadelect? No wonder he's on the dark side!

Fluorescent fixtures can be serviced quite simply by the replacement method. If you suspect that a part may be defective, replace the part with a new one. Start with the fluorescent tube or bulb. You can either install a new one or, if you're not sure the tube is burned out, test the old tube in another fluorescent fixture. Remove the old tube by twisting it out of its sockets in the fixture. Install the new tube the same way -- insert the tube's prongs into the socket and twist the tube to lock it into place.

The correct response was "If you call me in the morning I'll tell you what to do" 

-Edvard (March 06, 2009, 10:14 AM)

The correct response?

Who on earth would want something so prosaic?

And, next time, please think more carefully before opening the tap to such a stream of drivel! 

Now... back to the light sabres with you, daylight sabring time is almost upon us!

Found Deals and Discounts / Re: Surfulater 50% discount @ www.bitsdujour.com on Mar 4

« Last post by cranioscopical on March 05, 2009, 06:51 AM »

I do get your concern though but I believe that part of why the market works is because they are free to address their concerns without guilt if the offer does not satisfy them.

-Paul Keith (March 05, 2009, 06:30 AM)

Sure, but here's a thread  about 50% off and there are still complaints.
Look at the second line of the first post!

what happens in 18 months time when version 4 is released and only people who bought after the discount get the upgrade price?

-Carol

Well, it'll be good to see what tomos discovers.
But... I'd guess your scenario would result in one of two things.  Either that people who want it would pay for it or there would be a decline in future revenue.

« Last post by cranioscopical on March 04, 2009, 10:05 PM »

One speaks as one finds.

I like Surfulater and I've found Neville to be very helpful,
plus he gave DonationCoder a discount.

I feel a bit uncomfortable at the 'bad press' that's being created here.
There may be feelings of outrage at price increases, but it's up to each one of us to decide what a product is worth, and I don't really understand the strength of ill feeling. Let the market do its job and assess the price/value ratio.

My own view is that it would be a pity if readers were dissuaded from trying Surfulater by comments in this thread.
Remarks about price really have no bearing on the performance of Surfulater, which I feel is very good.

No offence intended to anyone.

+1 for this idea.

The other clip tool that I use can be hot-switched in and out of 'multi'  mode.
I seldom use that but when I do it's very, very useful indeed.

-cranioscopical (March 03, 2009, 04:25 PM)

Out of interest, which clip-tool is that? It sounds like that's what jupstejuho is looking for.

-SleepingWolf (March 04, 2009, 04:21 AM)

It was SmartBoard (not free, though).

Something to think about.
How would any of us feel if DonationCoder 404'd because mouser had decided enough was enough.
Suppose he and the unsung heroes who keep things on track just decamped?

Wouldn't like that at all?

If that is so, then drop whatever you can spare into the donation kitty... do it now!

-czb (March 02, 2009, 07:52 AM)

czb, I think it's a great idea... for a lot of places but it rather fights with the DoCo philosophy.
My suspicion is that if DonationCoder turned into some sort of money spinner that would erode the community spirit.

There's certainly a precedent for this.

I think it's very nice that you're helping out with user queries.

My best wishes to Eric, and I hope that we hear from him again when he is able to respond.
