So, not surge pricing but slump pricing. I agree the marketing value, but I think the urge to offset the revenue reduction by raising the "standard" or non-discounted price will prove irresistible to the bean counters.

The customer is the shareholder. The consumer is a means to an end. Same as it ever was.

Ain't nobody going to talk about that guy in the thumbnail eating a CD while wearing that hat? Stock photos are weird.

UPDATE without a WHERE.

Yes in prod.

Yes it can still happen today (not my monkey).

Yes I wrap everything in a rollback now.

It finally just came up. Posting here from it now.

The admin last posted almost 2 weeks ago saying he was having a minor surgical procedure and hadn't publicly posted since. Hopefully he's okay and fixed this himself, but he's still silent at the moment.

I always want my gallery app to rotate. I never want my email app to rotate. Auto-auto-rotate remembers the last rotation setting for every app I use and will turn it on or off for me. After a day of normal use I literally haven't had to touch the system rotate setting once. It's fully automatic and took zero effort. Having to change the setting manually is more of a hassle than this.

Auto-auto-rotate. Remember your rotation setting by app. Why that isn't built in I don't know.

For all the reasons others have already stated, what you want is a Kill A Watt instead of a multimeter or another thing to buy. Plug this thing into the wall and then plug your appliances etc into the meter and leave it for a week. I will record total power draw over the duration so you can see exactly how much power is being used under normal operating conditions. With a little bit of math you can compare kilowatt hours consumed with your power company costs and figure out how much money it cost to use TV's etc per hour.

Not produced by Sega but Shining Force and Shining Force II. And does anyone remember Vectorman? Tried to compete with DK Country with the pre-rendered 3D graphics.
