Are people actually dumb enough to fall for those direct marketing calls?

Got a phone call last night, I answer and it takes a few seconds to click over, then my ear is raped with "Hi, I'm Mike Smith from Las Vegas, you have been chosen as our lucky rewards recipient, to claim your reward press 9 now, that's 9 on the keypad" - all in a smarmy TV host/car salesmen slimy type of voice.

I was upset that my long string of profanity fell on deaf ears due to it being a recording.

I get two or three calls a day at work from people in 'New York City, offering me a deal where I will never get a virus on my computer again for $2000.'

I also get a few calls a week from customers inquiring about such deals, asking whether it is a scam or not.

Speakers (Mission 761i) = Slight mid emphasis, deep soundstage (that's restricted by my wall tbh), I feel the imaging is better on the Tannoy F1's tbh but overall the Mission's sound better, even if I'm underamping them atm. Can't take off the grills on the Mission = slight annoyance but hey. The Tannoys have slightly more bass emphasis. Detail is much better on the Missions. Due to this, the Missions sound 'brighter'. Some slight EQ does the trick. Having the speakers so close to the wall restricts the soundstage depth but oh well, I'd have to live with that.

LOL......

what a steal lols.

Just got myself a practically brand new ('resealed' = basically open box) Dell U2311H IPS panel monitor for a grand total of $361.35 shipped via GraysOnline. (includes the 15% buyers premium + ouch $52 shipping). They sell for $700 here.
The final bid was $269 minus premium and shipping.

<3 GraysOnline. Got my HD4890 TOP with the awesome fans too from there.
A lot of stuff on there = junk but dammit, you find diamonds among that dirt! :D

not so much new toy, more the 'I'm gonna upgrade later on anyway, so I might as well get the steal of the century if the opportunity arises'. Saves myself money in the long run.

Nice photos Growler, that's the first time I've seen such a view, it is rather weird for me to look at something like that, just a normal city with mountains in the background.

Was that from on top of a building?
