Dec 23 04:00:41 * flyback bbl
Dec 23 10:38:53 <dirk2> prpplague^2: ping. Do you have two minutes for a question?
Dec 23 23:47:48 * flyback bbl
Dec 24 00:13:29 * flyback ponders offing himself for xmas
Dec 24 00:14:16 <L_Deluxe> It's been a common theme lately.  Not just you.
Dec 24 00:15:45 <L_Deluxe> That was supposed to be supportive.  Not sure if it worked.
Dec 24 00:17:09 <flyback> na thx I am just sick of being in constant physical pain and putting up with my brain shutting down at random also
Dec 24 00:20:14 <L_Deluxe> I have a friend who's in constant physical pain.  And pain meds don't work on her.  She's in higher spirits than I am.
Dec 24 00:21:17 <L_Deluxe> Not to belittle your plight.  Just a different perspective.
Dec 24 00:21:38 <L_Deluxe> And one of the drugs she's on is turning her mind into mush.
Dec 24 01:00:26 <flyback> http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20081222PD215.html
Dec 24 01:05:04 <L_Deluxe> Typical.
Dec 24 01:05:20 <flyback> yeah
Dec 24 01:05:26 <flyback> I have 2 words for them
Dec 24 01:05:28 <flyback> PIPE BOMBS
Dec 24 01:05:28 <flyback> or
Dec 24 01:05:31 <flyback> TACTICLE NUKES
Dec 24 01:05:59 <L_Deluxe> Mine were a bit more along the lines of cussing, but those work too.
Dec 24 01:06:24 <L_Deluxe> It's the same thing OPEC does, though.
Dec 24 01:06:27 * flyback is a cynical old man
Dec 24 01:08:48 <L_Deluxe> Once the situation clears up, and vendors figure out that they have more to gain by selling more units than by jacking the prices, they'll just have that much more room to fall.  Assuming there's still a market then.
Dec 24 01:19:39 <flyback> http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20081223PR204.html <-- ugh just when I decide to start buying some
Dec 24 01:32:20 <L_Deluxe> Yeah, it always comes down to timing.
