Why do people find it funny to ask "Is it mac compatible?" for everything?

It's most definitely not necessary AT ALL. It stopped being funny after 2 times. It's getting kind of annoying especially when I see it on random things like a laptop bag, for instance.
Anybody else feel the same way?

I have just learned to ignore it. Having been a mac user it was second nature to ask it, so I kind of get it. But, not when it comes to stuff that has nothing to do with computers.

Yes I feel the same way. It is the same stupid question that is asked with every product over on the woot side of things.

It is also the same as asking if something is Kosher over on wine.woot. I do not think a single time someone has asked if a wine is kosher has it actually turned out the wine was kosher if it wasn't stated in the product description.

Though when someone asks if something is kosher here, it generally is an actual question.

@catbertthegreat: sort of like asking if bacon products are kosher?

@catbertthegreat: I ask the kosher question a lot. I have learned not to ask it on the wine as it generally isn't kosher. Some of the non-wine items can be kosher, but a lot of people who don't keep kosher have no idea what makes it kosher or not.

@hobbit: bacon bits can be kosher

@sgoman5674: Yes but you don't abuse the feature, by repeating on the same kinds of items.

I love how bacon salt is kosher and vegan. That is the most wrong thing ever. Polly's pies by me serves bacon salt too!

You guys are all funny. Bacon salt can be as vegan and kosher as it likes. To me, it tastes like a mouth full of chemicals. I'd rather just have bacon.

On the other hand, if this stupid Sellout thing ever dies down, I'm going to post something about not posting deals unless you've actually looked at the item yourself. The number of "Free" items that have turned out badly (the Edmond Scientific deal springs to ming), or people posting joke things, and then EVERYONE has to post joke things. It's like being in a fraternity house during pledge week, or being forced to watch a marathon of South Park.

Don't get me wrong, South Park was funny for a long time, but not back to back for hours, thanks. I note that things on Deals are most likely to go wrong when someone posts something late on Friday, and then it hits popular, and you know that the poor guys coming in on Monday are just drowned with email. There was the "free" canvas bag at Cathedral City, too. Feh.

@catbertthegreat: Believe it or not, I thought that the bacon salt brand that woot offers a lot was kosher too. I asked a rabbi about the hecture on the salt and he said it wasn't reliable. I guess I will have to find other brands.

And believe it or not, some people have complained to me on the forum about me being someone who asks that question to get quality posts. At first it was, but now I want to know.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
