    Shaving solutions, or, what do Gilette and all those companies do with all their $?

    You guys do know men shaving is a relatively recent societal norm right? It all started in WWI when gas masks wouldn't get a good seal unless you did. The GI's took the habit home to the US with them and here we are about 100 years later shaving instead of having distinguished facial hair.

    Most of the tools use eac3to. If that can't handle your source that would explain why most of the tools fail.

    I didn't say he would be interested. I'm just surprised he's never heard of it. It's been on TV every year since 2001 I think.

    High quality inverters?

    FWIW, I'd look for ones with pure sine wave output instead of a stepped sine wave approximation.

    I don't want to burst your bubble, but the music DDrueding used is Tran-Siberian Orchestra - Wizards in Winter, not anything from Mannheim Steamroller. But, I do appreciate all your insulting & ignorant comments that make you look like a complete jackass though.

    CPU prices - stagnant?

    AMD has no game right now, so why would Intel drop their prices? Plus, it's right before the holidays when people are buying. They would hold off price cuts until after the holidays.

    Televisions as monitors: What are you using, and why?

    Based on my experiences shopping at Costco I'd say you're way off base. It's extremely rare that I buy something at Costco that I end up being disappointed with. They seem to avoid crappy products. If you buy a Kirkland Signature item, even though it's a store brand, you can pretty much make...

    I believe it's Walmart, but anywhoo... I ventured into two of them yesterday after 10am and they weren't very busy. They also still had quite a few of the TV doorbusters. There were a couple of women complaining that they still had the TV that their friends camped out for at another store...

    Costco doesn't care. They require all vendors who sell their products through them to accept returns (from Costco) for 2 years no questions asked.

    So I ordered the HE-500's in a 10% off black Friday sale early this morning and then decided to check and make sure they were selling the updated HE-500's with the new leather earpads and new more flexible cable. Turns out they weren't and are still clearing out their old stock. So, I...

    With the 5D MkIII presumably right around the corner I don't see any reason to buy a 5D MkII now. Of course I said the same thing when the 5D was about to get replaced by the MkII and I never bought a II in the several years since.
