RedGorilla.com hits the crapper

Yup, your favorite scarlet simian and mine, RedGorilla, went outta business. So I wonder what that means for the $100 bucks some of you ante'd up for that M100? Anyone? Anyone?

Private Party deal sale....

man is it me or was that just the worst deal I have seen. Used equipment selling at almost the price of new.. especially that monitor. 360 bucks for the monitor taht you can get from a retail store for 425 dollars. Maybe I am nuts but those prices are pathetic.


500 mhz lappy with a 4x dvd for 1500 bux or so. um NO.

swearing in transformers!

hey, i just watched the transformers movie last night on my computer, and i found that there is overt swearing in this movie (ok, just one word...but it isn't hidden or even in the background). I was so surprised, but I would've been surprised if they had just said "crap" or "friggin", but this was actually one of George Carlin's 7 words you can't say on television. If any of you (with high speed internet access) want me to upload the movie to you, i'll gladly do so because the movie is only 160 megs.

Got | Apex Snowboards!!!

You think Got|Apex shirts or hats are cool? Want to get a Got|Apex snowboard? I can order you a custom board through Joyride around 300 (ballpark) bucks a pop, and it doesn't matter how many I order either, so I can order a bunch with different sizes and designs.
This deal isn't just for Got|Apex snowboards either. If you have any other custom design that you'd like to put onto a snowboard...or are just curious about this deal, send me an e-mail at ProMinx@hotmail.com, and we'll discuss prices and stuff (i haven't gotten specifics through my team yet, but just a fairly ballpark figure).
My friend and I are getting almost matching boards that are going to be so ****ing cool. We're going to put a 3D design stretching from the front foot to the tail of the board, and printed on the front rounded edge of the board, we're going to have our online IDs (so that the names follow the same curve as the front edge) and just below the names, we're both going to put the decepticons icon! I think that this is going to be so cool! I'm also thinking of putting a small Got|Apex logo on the rear lip, if I have Apex's permission. I can't wait to design my board.

ProMinx

ps - once again, contact me at ProMinx@hotmail.com if you're interested.

nice little staples screw-up...that doesn't benefit us

as always, i am closely monitoring the staples website (what else would you expect of me?), and i came across a slight discrepancy that i just chose to note for anyone else out there who likes to make fun of the idiots who put together their webpage. If you look at the Zeppelin Deco Roller Ball Pen page, you'll notice that it is under the clearance section. The pens usually go for $29.98, as the page says in the righthand column, and it is on sale for an amazing...$29.98! I personally enjoy having cool pens that weren't too expensive, so I was actually interested in this pen, but then that little price thing got me curious, so I called them up and asked, and they couldn't figure it out at staples CS either, so they said that they would e-mail me as soon as they find out what is gong on...in other words I'll never hear from them again...

Deal finding was a huge one last year (but not yet this year), snowboarding is still a huge one, playing video games, hanging out with "lady-friends" whenever possible (not just the one with whom i had the horrible date, although i do like her most...), going to movies (especially pre-release showings (i have tickets to screenings of Ladies' Man and The Contender for this coming week)), and dozens of others that ride in the back seat (but they never get in to the backseat through the backdoor, just to clarify).

If you dropped a hampster off of the top of the empire state building...

...it would probably live.

Just learned that in Physics... a hampster's maximum velocity is actually pretty pitiful, so it would most likely live. Unlike you and I.

Like what is its maximum Velocity? I figured it would have
less surface area, so less wind resistance.

I really doubt a hamster could survive the fall,
regardless.

I would think that the terminal velocity would be way higher than 10 mph

No way is that thing moving less than 30mph, minimum, really. I mean, its not a feather.

And a 30 mph hit will jar the hell out of your bones and break 'em if you don't collapse properly. Those eensy teensy little hamster bones would probably turn to jelly.

Terminal velocity is the velocity at which the force of the air resistance in the upward direction equals that of the gravitational force in the downward direction. The acceleration force of gravity is always constant, whereas the drag increases as the square of the speed. The force of air resistance is a function of surface area, and the force of gravity is a function of mass, so, assuming that the hamster falls with its underside downward, the surface area would be quite large when compared to the relative mass, yielding a very large surface area to mass ratio. Thus, a hamster could, by my guess, reach a terminal velocity around 15 mph, which would most likely break every bone in the furry guy's little body, but it might be able to survive the fall.

(Yes, I spelled hamster wrong at first. I digress.)

Coleslaw, what do you do for a living? I hope that it isn't anything involving an in-depth knowledge of speed to wind-resistance consideration. That was a very nice description of the relationship between velocity and wind-resistance, as long as you are over a certain velocity to surface area ratio (which i don't remember), but at certain low speeds the relationship between velocity and resistance is directly proportional, while at higher speeds, the resistance is directly related to the square of the velocity. Oh well, I guess I just had a really really great Physics teacher (thank you Mr. Thuleen), and he gave me a lot more physics understanding than most teachers could pass along, even though i was taking the class 2 years earlier than i should have...oh well...uit worked for me and I easily passed the AP exams (there are two separate AP exams for physics).
