Mules - Don't ask I'm using a "brute force attack" method.
BTW how many guesses am I allowed? (Mastermind rules)

Why are you using a BF&I* method with three common letters, when you know only two are correct?
MUSIC 1B/1W
STRUM 0B/2W
MULES contains the 'M', 'U', and 'S' from the previous two.

Correct, well done. Your turn tomorrow 
...I guess the clue was too easy, wasn't it?
|

|

Awesome, I shall get the cogs working on one for tomorrow!
It sort of gave it away, but the 1B 1W from MUSIC was a tell too

Leslie Nielsen died!? Omg that's such bad news!

Looks like Leslie will come back a few more times.
I wonder if this has something to do with it:

I just called, and the guy told me that they don't sell components any more.
This confused me, because I looked on their website and it appears that they do.
So I clicked on SSD Drives, and it looks like they don't sell those any more. (Just one refurb on the site, nothing new from anyone else.)
Did I miss the memo ?

They've shut a lot of stores down in the last year. Not doing well I'd say!
|
|

Good riddance to them. They ripped me off by sending me, and charging me for things I didn't, and wouldn't normally, order. When i objected their mantra was - "We show that you ordered these items - do you wish to return you order, there will be return shipping and a restocking fee".
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Here is how you can stop that before it happens...
CitiBank Has This[^] very nice trick. You give the online merchant a credit card number which you limit, both time and money.
If they try to hit you for more money than the number is worth, the transaction is denied.
A very few other banks also have this. I am surprised that it is not more popular.

Agreeing with that !
I wonder if ...
- The market is just in its final phase
- The market is not in its final phase, it's just downsizing now that computers are no longer so groovy
- The unfair reality of economic recession chose this company to hit
- The company is okay, but the owner(s) are lonely for the old days of mega profits
- This is just one company's business decision (i.e., an anomaly, not a major market indicator)
- Space aliens heisted the inventory
- None of the above
- All of the above
I wonder, wonder, wonder, if another company (quite likely, ex-employees) will form a Phoenix from the ashes. Then again, I'm thinking of my own actions with them. I did hundreds of dollars with them between 2000 and 2010, maybe in the thousands; but then far less in this decade.
And so...
Is this an anomaly ? Or a market indicator ?
i.e., Does America have enough paying customers for such a possible Phoenix to emerge ?
Does anyone have any on-the-ins perspectives from them or NewEgg or CDW or others in that market ?

Are they shutting down entirely? Their listings for laptops/tablets are extremely sparse as well...
I'm not that surprised to see them going. Buying a bunch of stores from a failed boxmart chain was dumping money down the toilet. Online they suffered from being less searchable than Newegg and not having cheap/free expedited shipping like Amazon (prime).
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I haven't bought from them in several years but they were my #1 hardware for a very long time. Too bad!

Hi All,
Something odd has happened my Parents phone line appear to be on the right number! I accidently used the home contact on my phone it rang my Mum answered, I fell off my seat. It also appears the broad band is connected (I can't say for sure if it's higher speed until the weekend).  it appears that BT have quietly done the job, nothing has broken I can think of
