this has been demonstrated before. now, would the entire track with puck locked in flux in a track weigh the same as the sum of the entire track + the puck not locked in flux in a track? if no, THAT would be news.

wow. does that really work? i can just go to the post office and tell them to not deliver bulk rate mail? color me curious.

Yup. I had something like a 40% off coupon at The Gap but it was 40% regular retail price only. All their pants were already discounted so I only ended up saving about 5% had I not used the "coupon", but it got me through the door. Coincidentally, I'm wearing those pants right now and the seams are coming undone. Thanks Groupon!

Ever consider that maybe your friends are terrible at their jobs?

This WOULD be the perfect response.

this will be the 2nd biggest stock flop after facebook. the business model is too easily duplicated and requires the co-operation of retailers to get those really good deals. those retailers will pull from groupon when livingsocial, twitdeals or facebargains gives them a better cut.

i wonder if this is what was causing my youtube videos to not load yesterday. the only fix i could find was to add https in from of the embedded url.

OP here... I'm actually a "junior" programmer (newest guy on staff), but in smaller organizations, we're often asked to wear many hats. Just last week I was moving office furniture. The "senior" Network Admin had "delegated" the tasks of email maintenance and backups to me, which in my humble opinion are 2 of the biggest responsibilities of a network admin. ...so I'm actually inheriting methods I don't agree with so I'm looking for better solutions. I know almost nothing about networking, but to anyone outside of IT (management), anything having to do with computers is interchangeable, even though the training/schooling you go through to be a programmer vs. network admin are entirely different.
