Domain Names $2.99

It's back again but only once per customer. Once again, Yahoo is having a killer deal with new domain name registrations. Only $2.99 for a year!! Get your name, your kid's name or business name before someone snatches it up. Usually it's $9.95 but quite often you can get it on special for $4.95.

Unlike previous deals you can only get one year at this price. And you don't have to use Yahoo for anything else (most web servers let you host your domain name anywhere). Back in the old days of the 'net, it was $50 a year with a two year minimum (I'm not kidding). I've been using this for a few domains since the last deal and I haven't had any problems.

Let's play where's the banana...

So this morning I grabbed a banana to take to work. Later in the day it hit me, “where's the banana?” I never did have it turn up before I left. Now that I'm home, something smells like something's rotting a little and I can't figure it out.

I'm wondering if there's a connection...

Deal? Or No Deal?

She had 1 penny, $400,000 and $750,000 on the board so they offered her $375,000. A very generous offer as the show goes. If she doesn't take the money she has to open one more. She said she was a gambler so this should have been easy and Howie pretty much spelled it out for her that there were 3 options if she picked the case:

  • She could pick the penny and the offer would go up (probably to about $575,000, IMHO) and you could play between $400k and $750k or go.
  • She picks the $400,000 case and the offer stays at about $375,000 (the logical spot is the same amount, but I think Howie inferred it'd go up) and you should quit.
  • This is the worse option, she picks the $750,000 and the offer drops to $200,000 (Howie did the math for her on this one and I've never seen him be specific before) and you'd have to quit then.

    It's all a win at that point, so to me you keep on playing. At that point even making a bad choice you still have $200,000!!! And the good choices (66%) are better!

    She would have been my hero if she kept going but even so she's still a winner (and she really doesn't care what I think anyways). She took the $375,000 and ran. I would have been tempted too, but the odds were pretty good to keep going.

    God they dragged it out, she had already started playing last week and they kept her going for another 75 minutes this week (lots of ads). Although they did show some behind the scenes stuff...
