And before you say, it's only $5 for shipping, I'm not complaining about the actual shipping time. I'm referring to the time it takes to get something out the door. And I'm not talking about woot-offs, obviously there is a crap-ton of stuff to ship then. I'm talking about regular woots....it's now been at least 7 days (4 business days) and it still hasn't shipped. If it normally takes you that long to ship it means you're never caught up and you need to either change your process or hire more people to help ship things. It's pretty deceptive to advertise 3-8 days shipping if it takes you 8 days to even get it out the door.
Note from Account page: If your order doesn't change to "shipped" within 5 days, check in our community forums for news of any delay, post there, and/or e-mail our service department at firstname.lastname@example.com. Some items are shipped from woot, some are fulfilled by Amazon, and some are drop shipped from the vendor. I normally haven't seem items take longer than 4 days to go out, but YMMV. I've also seen tracking update after the actual item was shipped. If you need an item immediately, you may want to choose a faster shipping method if it is an option.
On the sale's detail page, you'll see shipping information below the price. Here's today's Tech deal as an example: You'll also see the estimated time to ship on your order page. We use a variety of shipping methods and they have different shipping estimates. Also note that we say it ships in X days, not that you'll receive it in X day. Hope this helps.
I'm really confused by this too. I ordered 2 things on June 20th and they both say "not yet shipped". I even paid for faster shipping on one of them, and it still hasn't even shipped. These are gifts. I need them before Wednesday of next week. Will I get them???

It is unlikely that you will, I am sorry to say. Even though I've been playing at the game of woot for a very long time, and *knew* better, I still went for the two day shipping on a recent purchase of wine. Silly me. Two days from when they send it, but not any faster in shipping (and two seconds worth of brain cells would have told me this). This is still worth it to me, since it's better that wine doesn't sit in a hot fedex truck this time of year. It can take up to five business days (and often does) for an item to actually be put in a box and sent your way. Once it's in a box, it usually moves pretty fast, but it's very unlikely that you will see it in time for a gift. Buy a card. Print out the description of the item, and put it in the card. At least the recipient will know they have something cool that will arrive soon. Good luck.
I'm sorry for the delay. Please email email@example.com so they can look into the expedited shipping item.
Sent a message to Woot. Hopefully they can at least give me an estimated date on shipping and delivery and the gifts I bought. That way I'll know if I will get them on time to give them on the appropriate date or not.
Well I have to say. Woot is in my good book for the day! They sent me an email yesterday afternoon saying my gift purchase will ship yesterday or today! So happy. The other purchase is not a gift so if I don't get it as fast that's okay. But the gift should get here soon. And is should because I live in the same metropolex area as their main location. Heck! If I buy something that I know will come from there Texas location I should just volunteer to pick it up!

Ron Paul proposed HR2613 Citizens Protection Act in 2011 #SandyHook #GunControl
Submitted by Ian56 on Thu, 12/20/2012 - 09:12Ron Paul proposed HR 2613 Citizens Protection Act in 2011, the repeal of the 1990 Gun Free Schools Zone Act
Adopting this legislation in 2011 would have saved lives in Sandy Hook in 2012.
Texas Congressman and GOP presidential hopeful Ron Paul continues to champion constitutional rights. His latest endeavor is a bill that would abolish "gun-free zones," ultimately permitting teachers to carry firearms on school grounds. Predictably, anti-gun groups are calling the legislation "extremist."
CNS News reports, "H.R. 2613, the Citizens Protection Act of 2011, would repeal the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990 and remove all federally created criminal safety zones."
The Gun-Free School Zones Act was first enacted as section 1702 of the Crime Control Act of 1990. The text of the act reads, "It shall be unlawful for any individual knowingly to possess a firearm that has moved in or that otherwise affects interstate or foreign commerce at a place that the individual knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, is a school zone."
Paul's bill will permit individuals, including teachers, to carry firearms onto high-school and middle-school campuses.
The Gun-Free School Zones Act faced adamant opposition from Second Amendment advocacy groups like Gun Owners of America, which has indicated its support for Paul's legislation.
According to a news release from Gun Owners of America, the Gun-Free School Zones Act protects criminals. The release points to attacks at Columbine, Virginia Tech, and Fort Hood, all of which are "government facilities where the private possession of firearms was prohibited."
The release continues, "It's time to say NO to criminal safe zones. And a great place to start is the blatantly unconstitutional Gun-free School Zones Act."
A number of pro-gun groups argued that the shootings at Columbine High School and Platte Canyon, two high schools in Colorado, necessitated the repeal of the School Zones Act so that campuses would be safer.
Alan Gottlieb, chairman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, said that despite the intentions of the School Zones Act, it ultimately created "target-rich, no-risk environments for monsters who have no fear of encountering an armed teacher or administrator, or a legally armed private citizen who might happen to be in the building."
"This sort of thing didn't happen before the advent of gun-free school zone laws," Gottlieb said. "You never saw such an outrage in the days when high schools typically had rifle teams, and — particularly in the West — where it was common in the fall to find both teachers and students with hunting rifles or shotguns locked in their cars."

Would come with its own
Would come with its own problems.
School shoootings would be averted only if the teachers had guns readily available. For them to be readily available, they couldn't have been locked away or removed from their persons. They'd have to be close or on their persons.
That creates a situation where a gun can be stolen and used by an irresponsible student....
You really do not win either ways....

Apparently this bill covered only middle and high schools.
Sandy Hook school was an elementary school and presumably would not have qualified.
From the OP: "Paul's bill will permit individuals, including teachers, to carry firearms onto high-school and middle-school campuses."
"Jesus answered them: 'Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.'" (John 8:34-36)

Have you heard about the new social network - like Facebook, only with very short messages (for the people with REALLY short attention spans)?
It's called Farter.
People send out very brief messages called "farts."
The recipients "sniff" the "farts." So each message racks up a certain number of "sniffs."
Instead of just "liking" or ignoring a "fart," the "sniffer" rates it as "sweet," "odorless," ""mild," "pungent," "stinky," "grab a gas mask," or "run for your lives." Adjustable fart-filters allow users to filter out farts that exceed a designated level of odoriferousness.
Farter users pride themselves on the gaseous, insubstantial, ephemeral nature of their "farting" and "sniffing." They consider any piece of written communication that actually has any length, breadth, or substance to be a "turd."
Wait a minute - my wife is telling me that somebody already invented this - it's called "Birdpoop" or something like that.
Oh well, I passed the 140 character limit a long time ago anyway.
Time to flush.

Goofy. Giving. Wonderful. Funny. Guileless. Childlike.
Words. Only words.
But words that define the personality of a man who was so complex, yet so simple in his nature.
When word reached me Friday evening that my star sports editor–and dear friend–Claude Lewis had died, I, like everyone else, was stunned.
Two hours before, he and I had a wonderful conversation, laughed about pushy people and poor biographers and threatened each other with "You have to do THAT story."
Being a Mets fan, it's awfully hard to make friends with a Phillies fan. After all, that's the team that knocked the Mets out of the playoffs last year, and they're about to do it again.
However, there was one man in Levy County that I could call and joke with about baseball, and sports in general. As late as a week ago Tuesday, we were on the phone to each other talking about the pennant race, among other things in local sports. He was my favorite Phillies fan.
His name was Claude Lewis, and he was a writer and sports editor for our sister paper, the Chiefland Citizen.
I came looking for a job and I found a friend and serendipity.
Serendipity is something every journalist needs.
The tough, but garrulous journalism scholar John Bremner of the University of Kansas told journalists in his seminars they needed to find serendipity.
Serendipity occurs when you are on your way to one thing and you discover another thing. It brings magic and the joy of the unexpected.
You could have canned and sold serendipity.
You lived it very day.
You shared it every day.
I enjoy lively, spirited conversation. And in order to enjoy that, I have to like being around people.
No doubt in anyone's mind, I am a people-person. I come by it naturally, because everyone-and I mean everyone-on my father's side of the family was blessed with the gift of gab.
At family gatherings, it was difficult at the end of the day to figure out just what you may have gleaned from each other because topics were broad, loud and scattered.
In high school, I put that gift to good use by being in the Speech Club and arguing on the debate team.
No one is prepared when the doctor walks into the room and explains that you or a loved one has an illness that cannot be cured. Both family and patient often receive this news at a time when they are already at wit's end - emotionally, spiritually and physically. But what if the illness is there yet the conversation about end-of-life options never happens?
One of these days, I'm going to write something nice about football officials.
Sorry, this isn't that day.
Watching the NFL game between the Jaguars and Titans on Sunday, I clearly saw Maurice Jones-Drew scamper into the end zone on a run.
Incredibly, the refs on the field wanted to spot the ball on the 1.
The replay clearly showed the score, so Jags coach Jack DelRio challenged.
Even more incredibly, the call on the field was upheld.
Which brings me to another point.
Why does the NFL employ replay officials in every stadium, anyway?
I enjoy my job about 80 percent of the time. For the most part, coming into the office is not work. It's about the challenges I will face as I watch the puzzle you call a newspaper come together from all over the building into one tight little package.
The last week of June I received a call from Francis Akins to tell me one of his staff was retiring. It was too close to deadline to do anything for that week's paper, but I pledged I'd be in Bronson Friday afternoon.
"He doesn't say much," Akins warned before hanging up.
As voters across Levy County mark absentee ballots, drive to Bronson for early voting or prepare to go to the polls Tuesday, one of the biggest questions they should ask is "Who will do the best job for me?"
Elected officials are often called public servants because their chief role is to serve the people who elect them into office.
And because your tax dollars pay the salaries of these men and women, you should make your voting decision just as if you were the owner of a business hiring a new employee.

If you look closely it's just one of those cheap reaaaaaly uncomfortable metal black futons that typically come with a black mattress. His, however, has a fancy southwestern design. So….get ready for this…I think he just covers it with a new itchy/hemp/poncho style blanket every time he burns it (daily?).
Now, how his futon mattress manages to stay so plush when we all know those things flatten out after less than a week, is something I just can't explain.

I'm kind of in the same boat in NH. I'm taking the "we're just going to get a windy rain storm here, why is everyone freaking out?" approach.
Which pretty much guarantees a tree is going to fall on my house.
This show requires a hooded sweatshirt in the 'up' position while I lie down on the couch and bury my head so deep in the corner that the pillow kind of blocks my face from view of my wife.

If there was a graph of smugness over time I bet that there would be a red line (o'rielly) that starts really high up on the graph and kind of goes along parallel to the x access for the most part and then the blue line (stewart) would start somewhere in the middle (because let's be honest you need to be a little smug to get on tv) and it would scoot along for a bit while slowly rising as it moves to the right, then all of a sudden (right around 2008) it would skyrocket past the red line and break the ceiling of the graph where it would live forever in a cloud of smuggy non-self-aware peace. I hate that f'n graph.
This was your math lesson for the day, A+ everyone, good work.

In this post I'll be listing a few of situations which commonly occur during gameplay. I'll then be analyzing the situations and giving the best approach on how to tackle them. Of course, there are many ways to tackle some situations so I'll just be listing the ways I think are best and are what I would do in these situations. Also note that some of these situations may come in different styles of gameplay or different areas. If so, not all methods listed will be a good thing to do. For example, don't spam Scouts at Snipers if the Snipers are on a unreachable hill for vehicle Scouts.
You're getting attacked from long range by Snipers/Penetrators/Merls/Banishers/Dominators/Diplomats
If you're getting taken out from long range by these units, it's firstly best to get all your important units as far away from them as you can. For example, if you have your com the front line, you need to run him back towards your base immediately. Anyways, the best way to counter these units is by spamming as much stuff as you can. This is because they have a slow reload time and so can't fight off against spam so easily. The cheapest and fastest units are scouts, so spam as many Jeffies, Weasels or Fleas at them as you can.
Another way to fight of against long range units is to make air gunships such as Rapiers, Brawlers or even Tech 1 Banshees if you can spam enough of them fast enough. Of course, this is much more expensive method and also isn't as fast as spamming scouts, however, they do plenty of damage and can't get taken out by these long range units very easily. Remember Banishers can also shoot air so Liches for example, would be a bad idea vs Banishers.
You lose your com on the front line
This is a very common situation and happens in most games. Before you do lose your com, make sure as many of your units are out of the way as possible. For example, if your com is on low health and you know you will lose it soon, make sure you get all your offensive units, cons etc out of the way. This is a good idea because when you do lose your Com, you can protect it's wreck with the offensive units you saved and can reclaim the metal with the con. Remember, Com wrecks are 2500 metal making them a very important resource for any player. This means you enemy will likely try and rush the metal too so make sure you can defend it as best you can.
When on the front line and you com is about to die, you have two choices. The first, you can try and escape by walking away from your enemy and making sure it doesn't take any more hits. Or, you can Com walk your enemy by running straight at their front line. This is a riskier option but if it's successful, it can change the situation around completely. If you do decide to com walk, it's a good idea to stop all your units that are using Energy and cloak your Com. Then turn the Com to hold fire and walk straight at your enemies front line.
You're enemy is mass spamming cheap units
So lets say you enemy has started spamming some cheap light units such as Peewees, Flash or Scouts. The best way to deal with this sort of spam is by making a clear front line of defense. The line of defense needs to be in the same kind of position so it can pretty much all shoot the same targets at the same time. Otherwise, the cheap spam can over run parts of the line and then slowly take out the whole thing.
Here's a list of units that are effective against mass spam:
- Beamers (Arm)
- Double LLT (Core)
- Flame Turrets (Core)
- Pyros (Core)
- Goliaths (Core)
- A lot of LLT
- Convertible Metal Extractor (Core)
- Fatboys (Arm)
- Line of Can/Sumo
- Well spread mines
- Riot tanks for Peewees & Flash
Basically anything with a fast rate of fire, splash damage or range is effective against mass cheap spam. Also remember to set your defending units to 'Hold Position' as this will stop them running into the spam and messing up your nice line. If you're playing against Peewees, Riot tanks (Levelers) are extremely effective as one hit against a grouped pack of Peewees can completely scatter and break them. If the spam starts to increase and you start to doubt your line of defense, putting up dragon teeth might be a good idea as this will stop the spam penetrating your defense. Don't forget EMP drones also help massively if the enemies spam isn't assisted with any AA.
You're units are getting slaughtered by EMP drone combos
Sometimes, enemies keep a few EMP drones hiding out of enemy view so they can use them for traps or for mass use later on. If you ever spot any Core Air unit, it's probably a good idea to expect drones. Once you can predict the enemy will use drones, they're pretty easier to counter with a few AA units. Samsons are good because they can shoot ground units too.
The problem comes when you are ambushed by these things out of nowhere. Lets say you're about to charge towards your enemies base with a small group of units, say 10-15 Flash tanks or Stumpys. A bunch of EMP drones come from nowhere and EMP all your units, what to you do?
Well, a good approach would be to get out of there as fast as you can. As soon as you see a fast moving unit in the first 20 minutes or so of gameplay, it's probably either a scout or an EMP drone. Get retreating as soon as you see these fast moving objects on your radar. If you have any AA units nearby, get them supporting your Flash/Stumpys as soon as possible. If you have your Com nearby, it's a good idea to either help killing the drones with the Com's laser or to start building AA.
Anyways, once you've escaped, remember to bring AA next time you attack. Remember EMP drones have very low health so pretty much anything that hits them will kill them.
You think your base is about to get Dgunned/Com Bombed and you have no time to build AA
Sometimes, nubs will try to Com Bomb your base. There is a good way to stop this happening but it will be at the cost of your Com as well. Please note that this method is sometimes pretty tricky to pull off and should only be performed if you know what you're doing.
To save your base and kill your Com and the incoming Com, you'll need to be able to spot the Com coming from a good radar range away. Transporting Coms are usually quite easy to spot as you can see the transporters engines firing away as it flies through the air. Basically, what you'll be doing here is self detonating your Com to blow your enemies Com up before it reaches your base. As soon as you see a transporting Com approaching, walk your Com in the exact direction as the incoming Com and walk towards that direction. The Self D timer on a Com is about 4 seconds so make sure you time it right. Start Self D'ing your Com when you think the enemy Com is about 5 seconds away. If you do this correctly, when your enemies Com flies near/over your Com, your Com will explode from the self D and blow both Coms up leaving your base unharmed. With practice, you can perform this trick flawlessly almost every time however if you're only just starting to use this method, it's a bit risky.
These are just a few common situations that occur on the battlefield so expect some more of these another time. Feel free to leave your own views on these situations in a comment below.

Yahoo!: Audio Search Debut
Yahoo! has linked with around 18 music providers online and has a database of what content is available with which provider. Search results contain references to these music providers which can make the content available to the users. The results also contain links to other relevant information from Yahoo!'s other services such as image, video and news search. This information is made available on the right hand side if it's available for the search made. A nice touch but I wouldn't be interested in those results if I really am searching for audio here, but nevertheless a nice feature in case you do want it. Going by the popularity of Britney Spears searches made on search engines, people certainly would like to see suggestive images of Britney Spears if they listen to her music I guess, who wouldn't. Ok, deny if you want to.
The engine by default provides links to online music providers where you can buy the music. However, in case you are looking for samples to listen to, before making a decision to buy it, you can go to the "More options" link and narrow the search by selecting the duration or format of the search results. However, there's no option to choose between links to online music store OR samples available on the web in the search results. If you really want samples available on the web, then you'll have to choose one of the formats, to tell the engine to make available only links to files in that format. That means apart from the links to online stores, samples available in all the other formats will also not appear in the results. But that's not what we want, we want to listen to samples in any format before going to an online store to buy it. Even more disappointing is the fact that the search results for samples contain links to the web pages which contained the file. I speak in the past tense because more often than not the links to those files are gone. Moreover, the extra level of clicks and search on the web page, (which might contain hundreds of 'em) only results in more time being spent on visually searching for the correct piece of information we seek (in this case the link to the sample). Sorry, you can't have everything your way. Shrug.
Well, you needn't despair. Singing Fish is still there for it which links to the sample file directly, mercifully. Singing Fish also does not have the problem of only getting links to online stores or a single format in the search results. I know you are still confused about that one... even I am.
Apart from the audio content the search engine can help you find the web for artist's biography and reviews as well. In this department as well, Upto11.net beats Yahoo! in the sheer ease of accessing the biography as well as other recommendations for the artist. That's because the biography, popular songs and other recommendations are directly available in the site's interface instead of pointing to other web pages on the Internet containing them like Yahoo! does. Upto11.net really understands its audience - the music lovers who not only want to know about an artist, they want to know about their most popular songs or albums, as well as other artists in the same genre.
Yahoo! is alien to the concept of measuring popularity of audio content as well as the concept of genres. Sadly, the folks at Yahoo! perhaps think that search for audio is done by only those people who know what music they want, but don't know where to get it. What about the rest of us who are not present in the Western hemisphere to know through word of mouth or other media what is/was good music. I want to listen to tracks which were a raze in the 60's or 70's but I can neither search for any recommendations nor can I gauge the popularity of a song I have never heard about. That is an important part since that saves me a lot of trouble, as well as time in listening to unheard of music, to determine whether I like it. The engine Yahoo! offers is really a stringing together of Yahoo!'s web searching technology along with a database of songs/artists/albums/online music stores.
Another aspect of music does not figure at all. How I wish there was the slightest hint of providing a feature to allow searching for the lyrics of a song. As I pointed out before, lyrics search is an important aspect that we fans out here look for - as this guy pointed out as well on Slashdot. We want it - you can take that as a yes! Till then try lyrics search here.
Sadly, the guys behind this search engine do not understand a music aficionado. Overall, we are still where we were, as far as music search is concerned. No breakthroughs here.

Time-Tested Gaming
Hell yeah. I unfortunately only have super bomberman for the SNES (emulated by the xbox). Still though, I along with friends played super bomberman 2 for about 4 hours only taking a break only for pizza. ( I rode my bicycle for 30 miles in the morning so it balanced out. )

Geely Emgrand impresses while iPhone car is hard to beet
One of the most impressive cars on display was the Geely Emgrand KC executive concept, above. It's the brainwave of ex-Ford and Volvo designer Peter Horbury, now in charge at the Chinese firm.
Geely are owned by one of China's leading entrepreneurs — Li Shufu — who has bought Volvo and London's famous Black Cab company. Shufu said a car very close to the concept would go on sale in China.

NTLDR MISSING, I need some help please
- 05-01-2005 #2I hace tries to rewrite the boot partiton of my c drive which is my windows drive, using the windows install disk.
Can you not use the XP repair cd to replace Ntldr
If I understand your problem correctly, this should workCode:Windows XP users 1. Insert the Windows XP bootable CD into the computer. 2. When prompted to press any key to boot from the CD, press any key. 3. Once in the Windows XP setup menu press the "R" key to repair Windows. 4. Log into your Windows installation by pressing the "1" key and pressing enter. 5. You will then be prompted for your administrator password, enter that password. 6. Copy the below two files to the root directory of the primary hard disk. In the below example we are copying these files from the CD-ROM drive letter "E". This letter may be different on your computer. copy e:\i386\ntldr c:\ copy e:\i386\ntdetect.com c:\ 7. Once both of these files have been successfully copied, remove the CD from the computer and reboot.
