No one sees because I have a shirt on but I do walk around the office all day with no pants.

Aren't you the one who always says "pics or it didn't happen"?

ETA: could be MC. But still.

I worked in restaurants when I was younger but as a cook. I understand the difference between crap service and crap food. Too many people tip the wait staff poorly for the food sucking but that wouldn't be their fault.

We went to a place in Texas that was recommended but the only thing edible was the beans. Everything else in both meals was awful. The manager comped the food bill and we tipped the waitress the comp amount. She didn't do anything wrong, actually it was really good service. She was crying when we left.

You should tip the full amount. She gave you the service for the full amount. Like you said, it's not her fault.

Well it's between buying an extra mod vs an accessory. Flexibility isn't really a bad thing IMO. And besides, I don't really see any cons being introduced by it's implementation, apart from maybe an additional point of structural failure.

It's not like Tatroe and others have not already done the extension tube. And not like ProVape don't already sell Tatroe products (hint: you get the Tatroe extension tube when you buy the Tatroe base from ProVape.

Yes, you would have the extra cost of having another part to have made and stocked, but it would eliminate having multiple main tubes in stock (and aren't the extension caps for the mini/regular different somehow? I know they have separate SKU for them).

I have PCs because it's what I'm used to. To me it seems that Apples are more for the average consumer... People that have limited knowledge of computers/applications. (that's just been my experience anyway)

I'm with RebelGolfer on this one.

I'd agree that Apple consumer electronics running iOS are targeted for average consumers. The entire 'App' framework was built to abstract the user from the operating system. It's easy to use but you don't get a command line, access to the file system etc. You could also argue that it makes the device more secure and reliable that way, but it is what it is...iOS is not for mobile 'power' users.

OSX is a completely different story. It's based on FreeBSD, an open source unix server platform. Most of the developers I know prefer using OSX over windows because not only can you develop your code, you can also develop your supporting shell scripts, crontabs etc. right on the workstation. It's a one stop shop. Many high end workstations creating Hollywood special effects are Mac Workstations, and Mac has always been the preferred platform for graphical editing and professional desktop publishing.

I went Mac largely after the Microsoft debacle that was Windows Vista (the worst memory hog of an operating system ever created). Microsoft almost won me back with Windows 7, which is still and excellent OS. Then they released Win 8 with the metro interface to give the common look and feel across platforms (and I don't own a surface tablet or windows phone...so I don't care). That's where both companies are going though...they want a common OS across all their products so you can have the same user 'experience' regardless of what device you're on, so you either mix and match (which is fine, you just lose out on some cross-platform functionality) or you go all-in. I went all Apple because of Mac OSX and haven't seen anything compelling enough from the competitors to switch just yet.

I just hope someone starts innovating. I don't have much hope with Tim Cook @ Apple, he's a device guy and not the computing visionary Jobs was...Satya Nedella may just turn MS around, but it will be at least 2 years before we really see the effect of his leadership. Google will continue to push them both but I have a hard time understanding what that company's long term vision is, lately the only real hype has been around their driverless car (haven't even heard anything on the Google glasses lately).

/Tech rant :evil:

Wanted to clarify this.........Manager took off $30 and we gave her $36

OHHH okay :) I figured I was misunderstanding you somehow. I hate when say, you have a 60 dollar check, it's comped to 40, and you get 6-8 dollars instead of 12. And if I get one more 6 dollar tip on 39 I might scream. That's 40 PEOPLE! 40 DOLLARS = 8 in tip. End rant. :D Pray for me on my double today LOL.

Wait. What I'm saying is exactly the same as what rebel is saying.

Larger number = thinner wire = high resistance

Smaller number = thicker wire = lower resistance

Therefore 28ga is thicker than 30ga, and thus 28ga = lower resistance.

ETA: the way I see it, it's almost exactly like water flowing through pipes. Bigger pipes = easier for water to flow = lower resistance. Tiny pipe = harder for water to flow = higher resistance.

So since 30 gauge is thinner than 28 gauge, would it be appropriate to call 30 gauge 'lower' than 28 gauge? Or is it still a 'higher' gauge wire than 28 due to the numerical designation and increased resistance?

Also is AWG (American Wire Gauge) the same measurement that's being applied to kanthal? I didn't think AWG was an international standard (plus I figured most of it was manufactured overseas), but when Tony linked to the bluejean cable site it got my thinking. I'm familiar with AWG with my work on home theater systems (HDMI cables).

Home theater is my side job...not as fun as Jenna's though :D

Personally I would consider lower gauge = smaller number = fatty wire = lower resistance. But that's just me! Makes more sense just because it corresponds to both the number and the resistance :)
