  1. Black Lagoon's taught us not to underestimate women weilding twin Desert Eagles.
  2. Sure, why not.
  3. Yeah, we demand pics! Lots of them!
  4. But will you be there? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I shall. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Pls drop by the MTG booth at Wizards and say tell Mark Rosewater that I said "Hi" pls.
  5. I did take into account them holding on to the cash upfront. Please reread my original (first) post at the top of the page. I actualy thought about the same questions as you did. The part that we disagree is that I think the consumers keep an eye out on other (ie BP, Shell etc) providers. It's not that they're limited themselves to just the original company. If anything they use the company relative to how other oil providers are priced. If the original company's not comopetitive or too wacky in its own pricing there'd be no long term incentive to sign up, which would be bad. The only "floating" rate that the company probably has is for offer prices on reserve purchases.
  6. You agree to buy A amount of gas for $X per unit (gallons, litres etc). When you want to, you withdraw from your reserves which have been prepaid. That's fixed. So if gas prices other places are higher than X, say $3.60 while your X was $2, you're "saving" the difference. You may want to withdraw from your reserve at their stations. If gas prices are lower than your X, say $1.60 obviously you're going to buy gas elsewhere and not withdraw from your $2/unit reserve. You choose when you wish to withdraw.
  7. Good news for you then. Buffet's predicting that the inflated property market's going to cool down.
  8. Does seeing how long people can stand Crazy Frog count?
  9. Do we even know who's going to E3?
  10. I wonder how long before gas prices fall. There may be a mini bubble. Warren Buffet was saying that fundamentals fuel the initial rise but then speculation can take over towards the end.
  11. Spoiler: The lame dude did it.
  12. I read this story on Yahoo! news and it's an interesting one. Basically customers buy and pay for fuel at a fixed price now and can withdraw it at the pump at future dates as they require. The interesting part to me is that they can withdraw from their reserve as needed. If gas prices are high, withdraw at lower prices. If gas prices are lower than what you paid for your reserve, hold off. I'm not sure how the company makes money exactly but they did mention that they buy futures in the market. My guess is part of their plan is to make use of the up-front payments and invest it in other stuff. What do you guys think?
  13. Hush now, don't break the magic.
  14. Get Hades to roleplay the DM with his leet dudes. I think it'd be one heck of a party when both sides know what the other's up to and try to upstage each other. Maybe Eldar can be arbiter and give out xp in the form of style points.
  15. Yay relationships and marriage! I hope that'll be best day someday.
  16. Haha, that's awesome. Just make a pact with your friends to steal his characters uber leet gear when they're not looking (preferably when they're far away), then gtfo. Literally.
  17. I'll update my Excel sheet.
  18. Thanks. I've updated it. Keep the data coming. As for the bell curve, not really I guess. The end points are skewed, but I guess they're "binned" unfairly.
  19. Ok, this is the data that I've collected in an Excel worksheet, collected on 7 May 2006.

  20. Well talking about good sports days I had a very good indoor soccer session on Friday. I decided to start in more offensive roles and I scored 4 and set up a few before switching back to defence. I think my best goal was when I robbed a guy that was trying to play the ball out of defence, held off his challenge and rifled the ball in with my right "weaker" foot. Another good one was when I picked the ball out of defense, cut into a shooting position and scored with my left foot. That's another thing I'm pleased with - I've gotten comfortable playing with both feet and playing with both now comes naturally so I don't need to switch to my left, wasting time and opportunities.
  21. An unreperessed Aribeth is fine too.
  22. I doubt it because each person's colours of insanity is different. It's not like those that don't fit in our world will auto-fit in other worlds.
  23. Here's a conversation. >can you not know you're insane, really? >yep, that's one of the defining characteristics of insanity >Insanity is a sane man trying to cope with an insane world. At least from the inside. Discuss.
