I just threw a bunch of RAM up for auction and a hub and 5 minuts later the &quot;Computer&quot; section of the site goes down. :(

These guys are always UP and DOWN. What gives?

I use them for convenience. Clean out the closet, throw it up for auction, be rid of it.....

....but isn't the owner of e-Bay the richest woman in the US or something? Shouldn't there be no excuse for outages?

Hmm.....

Just ranting again.

Sorry....

Continue with your Anandtech lurking....

Oops!

&quot;Pierre Omidyar, the 32-year-old founder and chairman of e-Bay&quot; is the fourth riches person in the US.

Hmmm...... Who was I thinking of?

I thought getting tweaked and having someone go down on you were GOOD THINGS? :confused:

jonnyGURU, you may be thinking of the President of HP.
She's a very wealthy female.

Ahh! Here we go:

Meg Whitman, President and CEO of e-Bay. 4th most powerful woman. #1 is the HP CEO.

That's who I was thinking of. Not the founder, but the president.

LINK!

No pic.

Tweaked has two meanings:

If you &quot;tweak&quot; your RC car or bicycle, then you're dialing it in.

If you are &quot;tweaked&quot; or your wheel got &quot;tweaked&quot; on your bike, it means &quot;bent&quot;, so to say that I'm tweaked mean that I am &quot;bent out of shape&quot;. Certainly I don't mean that I'm &quot;dialed in&quot;. :p


Well.... I gues I could be, but I'm on broadband. :Q

Now who the hell is Danny Ash?!?! :confused:

Anyhoo... They're doing it again. The computer section is back up so I only lost 2 hours, but now the &quot;watch item&quot; is not functioning so I can't keep an eye on this nice Swiss made copper fondue pot over there.

Sigh.

BTW: The fondue pot is way tweaked! ;)

jonnyGURU,

Are you getting rid of anything else? I have two partial machines that need some parts. Also have you ever noticed how many people put an H in your name? I bet these are the same people who screw up the N in your last name.
