That's because quick shipping time is one of Newegg's top goals. It reminded of this old article about how Newegg's warehouses work.

The relevant quote is, "Newegg is trying to target 2 day turnaround for all shipments, regardless of shipping method, thanks to strategic placement of their warehouses all over the country."

The article itself is worth a look if for nothing else but the pictures.

Not to drag this too far outside the topic, but the "everyone in university" attitude is simply a reaction to today's hiring practices. What I continue to tell my friends is it doesn't matter what type of degree you have or what that degree is in. Simply having that degree is what gets your resumé in the game. Its simply the easiest way to thin the herd of applicants out without resorting to any sort of illegal discrimination.

This attitude is most blatant for jobs requiring any sort of associate's degree, but the glut of those degrees has been pushing many hiring decisions toward requiring a bachelor's degree for the same reason.

Too many people, too few jobs.

As a happy Palm Pre owner I wanted to echo the parent's view on webOS. A friend of mine who just recently switched from a Pre to an EVO comments on how tight the core OS is on the Pre compared to his EVO. He'd still be using his Pre if the hardware wasn't sub-par and the app selection wasn't lacking.

All of this reminds me a lot of BeOS. Superior from a technical standpoint. Lacking a development base and userbase coupled with market forces working strongly against it.

Hopefully webOS 2.0 (or in my case, 2.1) and the Palm Pre 2 are where webOS's and BeOS's stories part ways. If not, I imagine these things will resemble BeOS R5, an amazing piece of software far ahead of its time that quickly morphed into Be Inc.'s swan song.

pragmatically. I look at all of his films as a starting point for the discussion. They make it very easy to engage people over the topic he's talking about. NOW, I don't trust any of the facts he presents in his films. I do my best to fact check everything he says, and find out how much of his stuff is BS that I need to throw out the window.

Aside from the fact that my 6'3" frame fits in Amtrak coach seats, the main reason I ride Amtrak is because it lacks the nonsense security hassle that airplane rides entail. Yes, I know Amtrak isn't practical for a lot of travel, but it works for most of mine. If Amtrak becomes as much of a hassle as airports then I'll start driving everywhere.

hahaha, I needed those lulz this morning, and your post delivered. Thanks.

I took 3rd place in the WoW damage contest at the PAX 2006 BYOC (LAN party). That netted me 50 prize points which I used on a Cooler Master Green Power 500. I beat the ever living shit out of that thing ,and it finally gave up the ghost earlier this year.

I work in a similar sized company that manufactures kitchen and bath counter tops and has retail kitchen and bath design showrooms. I'm the only IT worker there, and I work there part time. Well, part time is kind of a misnomer, I work there whenever there is a problem, or whenever I want. That being said, I work about 20 - 30 hours a week on average. I'm responsible for about 45 desktops and 3 servers spread out over 7 locations. We have 3 owners of the company who are the CEO, CFO, and President. My boss is the controller and he works under CFO. Basically the only time I have to go to my boss is when I want to make a company wide policy change, or if I need some money to order parts.

TL~DR Your boss should be someone with purchasing authority.
