They both cost about the same, they both use UPS ground 3-5 shipping, just Illinois to Wisconsin is always a 1 day trip and California/Tennessee/New Jersey (Newegg's main 3) are 3 days minimum. It's just coincidence that I live closers so to just me specifically, TD is faster. If you lived in California, Newegg would be potentially faster, assuming you didn't order a part that resides solely in their New Jersey warehouse.
I just coincidentally live closer to their primary warehouse in Illinois while Newegg is on each coast and that's it. TD didn't locate close to me on purpose, lol.
They own: Tiger Direct, Tiger Direct B2B, Systemax, Infotel Distributors, Ultra, Global Industrial, Nexel, Misco, Speedgifter, WorldWide Rebates, Comp USA, and believe it or not, Circuit City.
I have a dedicated rep that I talk to whenever I need to make an order (business account feature only). She tells me if it is actually in stock, how many, which warehouse, and real shipping times. Also, she informed me that if the item number starts with YY that means that it's being drop-shipped from a completely different company that's a "partner" with them and it could take many more days or run into strange backorder problems.
I have noticed that a lot of items are held in relatively low stock at their own warehouses. Like one time I asked how many of a common Pentium G-series CPU there were and there like like 30. I would have thought 1000 at their sales volume level. She seemed to think that they purposely ride it pretty tight because their vendors can renew their inventory very quickly and also to prevent part depreciation from holding it too long in between purchases.
After working under a complete moron that was great with people and project management but had the technical skills of my mom (not good), I have to disagree. I am currently the head IT manager at my new job but I still think that the system administrator or whatever you call the top level IT person should do a perfect job or get replaced. A technician making a mistake is an annoyance but a system admin buying 500 refurbished, off-lease HP desktops that had a failure rate of around 75% in the first year is a LITTLE BIT more major. Everyone should be ready to report their IT boss' incompetence to the owner/CEO/whatever if it's deserved and hopefully they get replaced.
I'm so sick of TD always being 1-5% more expensive than Newegg when they ship almost everything from 1 state away in 1 day for ground charges and newegg ships from 3 locations that all take 4+ days to get to my state. I have a residential and business account at both and always wondered why, even at my volume for my business, TD just can't seem to get their crap together and lower their prices. They buy from the same places as Newegg! Well, this explains it. Hopefully now this asshole's replacement will pick from the cheapest supplier instead of one bribing him and lower TD's prices to compete with Newegg.
If you disconnect from most Steam games and all Blizzard Battle.net games, you instantly disqualify yourself for all achievements until rebooting, disable game saving, and disable high scores and stored scores of any kind or stat tracking. There are logical reasons for that related to cheating and modifying of files then resyncing them but still. So just keep in mind that they never promised they wouldn't make not connecting annoying or borderline unplayable.
They're just as "too big to fail" as the big investment companies except unlike last time, you can't eat money. That deserves a prize? They deserve to be split up, have all their lawyers disbarred forever, and all their ridiculous "patents" invalidated. THAT would be a benefit to global food.
So they're going to potentially cancer them to death? Wow. It'd take a nuclear reactor to power an Xray beam powerful enough to give someone massive radiation poisoning or melt them or something and then you might as well just throw the nuclear reactor itself at them, lol.
I won the US national AITP programming competition in college. I also was the only person to get a 105% perfect score on the advanced VB programming 9-week project. Keep em coming you condescending asshole. You're only getting more wrong.
Apple knows security about as well as I know Portuguese. I do not know Portuguese, lol. They're so obsessed with "just make it work" and "make it user friendly" that they toss security out the window just as quickly as Lexus did and now you can hack one and drive away in 2 minutes.
Let's send the house (and senate) to live on the surface of the moon then and they'll finally have nothing left to distract them from doing their darn jobs! Then maybe something will get done in congress. Plus, Moon Congress sounds awesome.
Like I need another reason to hate Wordpress. In case you're not familiar, it's basically a website design suite for morons who don't know HTML or CSS even though I could teach both to a moderately intelligent monkey. It got so popular that it's the biggest hacking target on the entire internet and anyone who uses it is seen as a complete joke by actual web developers like me. If you see "wordpress experience" on a job listing, run! That company is beyond all hope. br/.
I think I can break down how this came about. People who aren't qualified to make a website hopped on, added a bunch of code that someone else wrote via a plugin, they have NO IDEA what it does or how it really works or that it should be updated, and then they send it out to the public internet on a cheapo host with little to no security. What could possibly go wrong there?
I don't know why they're bothering. Android is free. iOS is "free" to Apple sort of. Brew and Symbian are probably pretty cheap given the phone prices of ones that carry it. So a free phone OS? Not as exciting as desktops. Then you've got free and open vs mega controlling overlords of pure evil aka wireless telecom companies coming together to work on a product? This had bad idea written all over it.
I heard a much simpler explanation that I totally lived too. Their early OSes up to 8 or 9 or so were absolute crap. They froze up constantly and the software rarely worked correctly. When I was in early grade school, we all had nonstop problems with our 100% Apple computers in the school. Apple's idea was get the kids on Apple and they'll want to use the familiar OS at home so they'll tell their parents to go buy one. Instead they were so awful, they told their parents to buy anything other than Apple because that was the cheap, non-working crap that they used every day at school. So their idea to sell to school at or near cost backfired and Windows took over. Then they decided to instead market overpriced machines to stuck up elitist douchebags and attempt to take over media editing, both of which have now fallen flat on their faces thanks to CUDA and way too many people owning Apple products.
I basically never go outside and my lungs are just fine, lol. I don't see the cause and effect there. When I do go outside (summer at least) boom, allergy meltdown. Now that's a lung condition.
Who says it's a hash? Just add one extra space somewhere in the book in an unusual place or replace an apostrophe with a similar character or something. Then if someone adds something else, you're still checking for that one single location of the alteration to prove it's them. It'd be awfully unlikely in a long book that you'd replicate the exact alteration that they made to someone else's book, thus appearing to be 2 different people.

That's good. They do not need to know just how many Anime DVDs I bought, okay? It's enough to flag anyone as abnormal, lol.

Update: the going price for an exploit in XP is $5 in Xbox Live credit, lol.

I hear he's up for the 1st annual arming rebels for peace (ARFP) prize too, lol.

I was actually a C# tutor on the college's payroll since I got a perfect grade in the class too by the way.
and C# and C++

Read the reply right above you. Spoiler alert, I'm also an offline software programmer.
ohhhhh that's right, my second degree is in software programming with .NET and ASP

I'd rather have one that shoots lightning. Just sayin.
