$89.99, but they won't last. C'mon 8800GT next!

Man, I didn't think they'd go THAT fast. Sheesh.

We Got Problems

Section 2-14: Solve the word problems below. Show your work.

1. On Friday, Angie buys a Philips US2-PA1034 Optical Mouse for the price shown above. The next day, she buys two more, at a total price 315% higher than on Friday. The following Wednesday, she buys another one, this time for 13/16ths of the price of one of the mice she bought on Saturday. What kind of weirdo needs this many mice?

2. A Philips US2-PA1034 Optical Mouse is on a train heading due east from Chicago, travelling at 58 miles per hour. How long before the train sinks into Lake Michigan?

3. Mr. Britches the parakeet weighs four times more than the Philips US2-PA1034 Optical Mouse. Together, they weigh 15 ounces. Where do they bury the survivors?

4. The scroll wheel on the Philips US2-PA1034 Optical Mouse can scroll both vertically and horizontally. Use the quadratic formula to show why we should give a damn.

5. Steve and Laura are planning a car trip with a total distance of 3,475 miles. Steve has five tires, and wants to rotate them throughout the trip so that each tire will be used for the same number of miles. Will Laura regret travelling with such an anal-retentive fussbudget?

6. Willis has 68 Philips US2-PA1034 Optical Mice. One day, he gives away one of them. Each subsequent day, he gives away one more than he did the previous day. Does this sudden generosity mean Willis is planning suicide?


I <3 woot.

Question...I just signed up...and the Woot item of the day changed when I became registered...but I just read it only changes at 11:59pm every night. Can anyone explain? Are they just showing a "cool" item to the unsubscribed and then showing you the real items once you register? I have no interest in the item I saw before I registered but still...just wondering.

its a woot off today :) and maybe tomorrow depending on stock

woot offs are typically rare, and happen roughly once every 3 months or so?

the object of a woot off is simple, they keep selling things till they go out of stock of what they want to sell.

woot typically has a change of item daily at 11:59 cst ? (or roughly 1 AM EST)


edit: i want a BOC too! arg

I see some orange flashing lights on the main page – what do they mean?
No, you aren't seeing a side effect from your allergy medication. You have found a Woot-Off, a short term frenzied mutation of our product posting procedure. In Woot-Off mode, a new product is launched immediately after the sellout of the previous deal. There is a half-Woot-life of 12 hours maximum on any product within a Woot-Off that does not sell out. The number of Woot-Off items, sequence, and quantity will not be announced. When Woot-Off mode is over, the orange lights will disappear and our normal schedule will resume. Depending on its success, this may be a mode we would go into once or twice a month for a relatively short duration of time (24-72 hours generally.)

crap, and i have an all day meeting.

I'm pretty sure it hasn't. They usually finish up a Woot-off with a BoC. Never have gotten in on that deal. Home I can click fast enough to get in this time--assuming they do it. Looks like this wine's going to be there a while though...
