Here's the skinny. While I'm sure icuhere2 is a nice guy, if he honestly perceived the value of the M+S coupon to be $20 then he would have either used it or accounted for it as a higher value. But, he didn't. Because the real value is negligible. To his credit, he did also tip cash so he's not on my :rolleyes: list.

Irony of all ironies, I was just fishing for something in my satchel and came across a couple M+S $20 coupons that I apparently picked-up at the DCA P(oop) Club during one of my recent visits and had completely forgot they were there. So, for me, (and I'm sure most people) the real value of a M+S gift cert is about .01.

Sweet action. Netflix just came out with a Wii disc that allows you to download and watch stuff from Netflix via Wii, as well as games and junk. ^^

Biggest downside: the Wii doesn't do HD. :td:

Granted, but I don't have a BluRay player so it isn't a big deal for me.

I stay out of the UA forum nowadays unless I'm perusing the new posts in the pilot Q&A thread. I haven't been in there since UDU, so maybe I should visit and see how that's working out for them.

udustats.com: Mildly disturbing, to say the least.

What's disturbing about that? :confused:

Seems like it could be a valuable tool for UA elites picking flights and hoping for upgrades.

Linked Wiki entry is a must for any fan of high-stakes poker. Found it interesting that said guy would be Carl Icahn's financier/partner.

I'm sure it is. I just don't like the attitude they have there, and any tool that helps them succeed is something that bothers me.

Apparently the WiiHD is in development. They need to do something to get more market share. 480p just won't cut it. I use my PS3 and Netflix for streaming movies.
