- Found the new chick before letting go of the old one? -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 10:37 1
  - this. -- nm - znufrii Sep 15, 10:38
- I'm sure there's a unique psychology for each instance -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 10:36 6
  - wait, *what*? -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 10:37 5
    - by "psychology", I mean "psychological explanation", and by "unqiue", I mean "your mom" -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 10:39 4
      - spoils - TFox Sep 15, 10:40 3
        
        I think I did, I just chose to go a different direction with my response. - Beryllium Sep 15, 10:41 2
        
        your mom. -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 10:42 1
        
        I'm going to choose to translate this as "yes" -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 10:45
"I'm sorry, Mr. C. But we had such a rush on Halo:Reach that we are sold out. We have another shipment arriving Saturday afternoon." - Best Buy blueshirt Sep 15, 10:34 4
- There's a reason I don't do event-day purchases (be it movie premieres or game launches). -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 10:35 3
  - even my Wal-Mart in my one horse town was having a midnight release party on this -- nm - crash davis Sep 15, 10:37 2

  - Jax was home last week against the broncos. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 15, 10:32 2
    - Bah, ESPN's schedule follows the standard home-team-last format for everything but the first week apparently. -- nm - Ender Sep 15, 10:34
    - Aren't you sore? -- nm - oblique Sep 15, 10:34
  - You're so pretty -- nm - oblique Sep 15, 10:32

If Amazon has already delivered "the" package to my house and FedEx left it on the doorstop, how do I return/refuse it? - JaxSean Sep 15, 10:27 30
- go to the fedex website and chat with them online and ask -- nm - decline Sep 15, 10:30
- did you already buy another copy? -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 10:29 19
  - No, but I'll go to Best Buy on the way home. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 15, 10:30 18
    - does. not. compute. -- nm - decline Sep 15, 10:31 1
      - maybe it's the principle of the matter? -- nm - prayformojo Sep 15, 10:35
    - But... its at your house. -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 10:30 15
      - Back to my movie theater analogy, I see. If you pre-paid for a seat on premiere night, and the theater turned you away, would you want to go back? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 10:31 4
        
        well, that would require some effort. if they brought the movie to my house, i'd watch it. -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 10:33 1
        
        What if you bought a VIP ticket at Disney World, that said you get to move to the front of the line for the extra $80. - JaxSean Sep 15, 10:46
        
        absolutely. it's not like there is anything special about premiere night. The movie (or game) isn't any different from what it was yesterday - decline Sep 15, 10:32 1
        
        there's something special about a guaranteed service that you've already paid for, that the company fails to deliver. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 10:34
      - Amazon's done pissed me off. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 15, 10:31 9
        
        So no joy on the phone call? -- nm - oblique Sep 15, 10:34 8
        
        I'm not sure of the point. - JaxSean Sep 15, 10:36 7
        
        but as a Prime member, its pretty easy to let your wallet do the talking without putting yourself out further. - TFox Sep 15, 10:39 4
        
        I don't think I'd be out further, other than the $60 until they receive it and refund. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 15, 10:41 3
        
        plus the new $60 for the new game, plus your time, plus giving money to Best Buy who are not better than Amazon. -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 10:43 2
        
        At least go to Gamestop :) -- nm - oblique Sep 15, 10:43 1
        
        They don't have the $20 promotion anymore - Best Buy does. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 15, 10:48
        
        I guess it's all a matter of what compensation you want. Some would say they'd be happy with $5 off or $10 off or something like that - oblique Sep 15, 10:37 1
        
        I just can't figure a price tag for the principle. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 15, 10:42
- Amazon has fairly liberal return policies. Can't you just RMA it for refund and use their pre-paid shipping labels? -- nm - oblique Sep 15, 10:28 8
  - He'd have to pay return shipping. -- nm - Ender Sep 15, 10:33 5
    - The initial email from them said - JaxSean Sep 15, 10:38
    - I didn't have to pay to exchange my DOA HD from Amazon. Maybe it's different on refunds but I'm not sure -- nm - oblique Sep 15, 10:34 3
      - If you get a wrong or damaged item sure. "I just don't want it anymore" isn't one of their valid reasons for them to pay for shipping. -- nm - Ender Sep 15, 10:36 2
        
        Right. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 15, 10:42
        
        Good to know -- nm - oblique Sep 15, 10:37
  - RMA? -- nm - JaxSean Sep 15, 10:29 1
    - go to the order history page on Amazon and click the return item link -- nm - decline Sep 15, 10:31
from bb, we've talked here before (I have anyway ;p) about faster kids being underserved. - b. Sep 15, 10:24 16
- Growing up, we called it "magnet programs." Some schools have them, and some don't. - con_carne Sep 15, 10:47
- agreed -- nm - Guy Sep 15, 10:31
- Yeah, since I posted about that "don't teach kids under 6 to read" article, I've been thinking about it and talking to my folks... - Dr.Vermin Sep 15, 10:30

    - it's possible it's just passed down through the maternal line.....nm - xi Sep 15, 10:31 7
      - mitochondrial intelligence! - Dano Sep 15, 10:35 6

        sadly now that just means thinking of him with no pants on. - oblique Sep 15, 10:40 1

        oo! -- nm - b. Sep 15, 10:38 1

- I had some programs in lower grades but they ultimately served as a "Hey let's git 'im" spotlight. -- nm - Reagen Sep 15, 10:26
- you know who's going to cure cancer? the dumb kids that we're "not leaving behind". clearly. -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 10:25
Day late, dollar short: I don't think my family would shun me / refused to associate with me over someone I dated. - ty97 Sep 15, 10:24 5
- Isn't your IM directly contrary to what you said? -- nm - oblique Sep 15, 10:25 4
  - No, though I can see why it read that way. Let me clarify. - ty97 Sep 15, 10:26 1
    - *nods* -- nm - oblique Sep 15, 10:35
  - I think it's that his family wouldn't shun him just because of the knowledge, but he wouldn't feel he could really talk about things with everyone. -- nm - b. Sep 15, 10:26 1
    - This is rather accurate. *hires you as spokesperson* -- nm - ty97 Sep 15, 10:27
seriously? IE9? Dear Microsoft - if you have to release an new version every 2 months just to bring up the caboose - give up! -- nm - Guy Sep 15, 10:20 5
- uh, there development cycles seems much longer than either Chrome or FF -- nm - decline Sep 15, 10:26
- Yeah! -- nm - Chrome 6 Sep 15, 10:21 2
  - the difference is that Chrome's interface doesn't change each time. They aren't updating it just to make it functional. -- nm - Guy Sep 15, 10:29 1
    - I can't fault IE for these improvements because each version has been a good change. IE8 is world's better than IE6 (tabs, etc) and IE9 looks to have - oblique Sep 15, 10:36
- Dear Guy, When we want your opinion, we'll give it to you. Meanwhile, get back to work updating your HTML+CSS+Javascript to work with IE9. -- nm - Sincerely, Microsoft IE9 Team Sep 15, 10:21

Last night at the sleep lab was awful. Got some creepy pictures though. - ceregon Sep 15, 10:19 2
- Yeah, the first one is always the worst. I had more trouble falling asleep the first time. -- nm - not2fast Sep 15, 10:24 1
  - Something I learned in the military was how to fall asleep quickly. - ceregon Sep 15, 10:29
I have a pretty good feeling that I watched my final True Blood last night with the season 3 finale. - HdnAgnda Sep 15, 10:19 4
- I am so on the other side of the fence - the minute they started sticking to the actual books - I was enthralled - though it has issues - Epiphany Sep 15, 10:20 3
  - Agreed on Bill. But am intrigued by Jason's latest twist. - Dr.Vermin Sep 15, 10:43
  - Eric is good. Sookie is good with the revelation as to who she and I would sure like to see Jessica get more to do - HdnAgnda Sep 15, 10:27 1
    - Totally agreed. Love Sookie, Eric, Jessica. Tired of Bill, and Tara/Lafayette's wide-eyed twitching. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 15, 10:35
