The "manufacturers' suggested retail prices" quoted on "The Price Is Right" make me think that these manufacturers are a buncha dicks. - http://tkot.tumblr.com/post...

"The manufacturer doesn’t make a product and then tell the retailer how much they ought to charge for it. Retailers hold much more power than manufacturers; generally, they pressure suppliers to meet their price and to constantly lower costs, putting the burden on the suppliers to figure out how to do so (often by reducing wages). The idea that manufacturers are able to tell Macy’s or...

Really interesting April. I knew that Wal-Mart established the pattern of large stores being able to demand a price from manufacturers. I hadn't realized that "msrp" was also the doing of sellers.

I used to work as a merchandiser for a discount retailer back in the 80's (Woolworths). The company ordered stuff prepriced by the manufacturer with a price we requested, so we could put our own lower price on it, that way the consumer thought they were getting a good deal. We not only told them what to print, we told them where on the packaging to put it. It was always in the upper...

So guess who is requesting those prices quoted on "The Price Is Right". In this case it isn't the manufacturers that are the dicks...it's the people that run the game show. They are setting their own prices in an attempt to make the game more difficult to win. They are also fooling the consumer sitting at home that may remember that ridiculous price when they hit the store later and see...

I'd love to see the Executor do the Kessel Run in 40 parsecs, less 12. There's no way a ship that big and slow would be able to skirt the gravity wells closely enough to complete it in a useful distance.
- Matthew DeVries
So we are back to the 'it can run fast' argument... fair enough...

Let's see: it takes maybe 3 people to fly the Falcon. If you divided up the crew of a Star Dreadnought into 3-person teams, how many Falcons could you have?

Johnny, you see that satellite dish sticking up there making it slightly less aerodynamic? That picks up free porn from 37 different worlds.

Did the Dreadnought even go to Kessel???

No, but the prototype Death Star blew up it's moon

The Executor was taken out by the pussyest ship ever made in the Star Wars universe. Show me one spot you could crash a Segway into on a Nimitz Class Carrier to destroy it, and I'll maybe respect the Executor.

I can't even tell you the number of times I took out the shield generators on these pieces of junk on Xwing and Xwing vs Tiefighter. YOU ARE SO VERY WRONG!!!!

Matthew... The top speed of an A-Wing is 1,3000 km/h (in atmosphere). Now the command was also given to "Concentrate all fire on that Super Star Destroyer!" so they were under fire from basically the whole entire Rebel fleet.

I thought that the pain of setting up/cleaning up would be mitigated by doing it online. It was more annoying on Xbox because for some games we couldn't all play at once, which was silly. I don't know if the full game makes it more accessible to everyone in the same place.

That's true, Jennifer. I do wear skirts to church a lot, and I think these would go good with that.

@Héctor - Leo mentioned that in yesterday's TWiG. He said he'd rather get a little email from correct listeners like you than wait a year and get 10x more from people who think it begins 1-1-10.
- Jeff Harbert
Correct. I remember arguing about it 10 years ago, but this time around I don't feel like nitpicking for that same exact reason. Sounds like a good plan.

Please stop thinking that electric cars will 100% replace normal cars.

And btw, good old lead-acid batteries are just fine for electric cars. We don't need a battery breakthrough.

Thank goodness for holidays - this is the first time I've been able to watch TWiT live, as it's after midday Monday in NZ. Although luckily TWiG falls on Sunday here. :)

audible = DRM = FAIl

hey you know how audible uses DRM, how does that work on a CD since a CD doesn't support digital copy protection does it?
- Mark
(you can burn audible to cd)

Esp when Rackspace goes down and takes half the internet with it. Three times now? Or is it only twice?

@Mark - kills the "cloud" argument though. How can a cloud go down?
- Jeff Harbert
well if someone unplugs the power for computers in the cloud i guess
- Mark
What kind of plasma?
- Jason R
If that's the case, Rackspace needs to restrict access to their power cords. ;)
- Jeff Harbert
gotta agree on the HD
- Kim Landwehr
there are a whole bunch of weather/technology metaphors yet to be exploited with this whole "cloud" thing

HD really has made web video in particular much more enjoyable.

@Andrew - or just make sleep more effective. I'd love to get by on 3-4 hours per night.

I noticed on the TWiT youtube channel, Windows Weekly is watched 5-6 times more than the other shows
- Mark
As it should b Mark. it's a great show... :)
- Bill Heslin
Windows Weekly is 12500+ per show. TWiT the flagship is 2 or 3000
- Mark
The different shows all have different user/viewer profiles for live, re-run, download and now youtube. It's amazing to see the variances

Gene Kelly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

"Eugene Curran "Gene" Kelly (August 23, 1912 – February 2, 1996) was an American dancer, actor, singer, film director and producer, and choreographer. A major exponent of 20th century filmed dance, Kelly was known for his energetic and athletic dancing style, his good looks and the likeable characters that he played on screen. Although he is probably best known today for his performance in Singin' in the Rain, he was a dominant force in Hollywood musical films from the mid 1940s until the demise of this form in the late 1950s. His many innovations transformed the Hollywood musical film, and he is credited with almost singlehandedly making the ballet form commercially acceptable to film audiences.["

Watching Singin' in the Rain. And now I also want a pair of spectator shoes.

My boyfriend's favourite movie ever is Singing in the Rain.

- Spidra Webster
*sigh* I love this movie. He was such an athletic dancer.
- cecily
And that whole scene with him and Cyd Charisse... *loses mind*
- cecily
And the "Singin' In The Rain" scene was shot when he had the flu and a fever of 101.
- cecily
While I do like watching Singing in the Rain, my fav ever is On The Town (maybe also The Pirate a close second)
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
On The Town is fantastic, Mike. I need to see that again. And An American in Paris. I absentmindedly recorded this on the DVR. I might have to leave it for a bit so I can rewatch it in a few days.
- Derrick
with my wife being a "retired" dancer and community theatre person we have a lot of his work on DVD and VCR so I would say one of his movies (or that genre) is playing on our TV weekly :) ("retired" is in quotes because she would love to still dance but her young mind's desires are foiled by her aging knees :( )
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
LOVE <3

Now is the time when I will put rum in my coke and watch new blu-rays.
