Let's bitch about Gitmo. Only one pillow per prisoner, the temperature is sligtly out of whack, the food is unnaceptable -- too much fat, they're getting chubby.
Why not write a song about real torture instead of panties on someones head and loud Chili Pepper music?
Complete bullshit - I went and bought Casino Royal, popped it in my computer, didn't run.
A stupid flash thing popped up, 'Click to play movie!' and clicking did nothing.
Fuck you, Sony.
To reiterate, the fact that the Democrats are way way better than Republicans doesn't excuse this kind of shit. "The fact" haha.
I'm sure glad you're not a stereotypical elitist democrat.
Absolute genius, I couldn't agree more.
Why does it all have to go down to "we can't follow the route we're running!", why aren't we just living life?
The imaginary problems we've dreamed up for entertainment are only there because they tend to touch raw human emotions and are grasp ones attention much more effectively, I hope we don't always have to live in societal "fear" of our oddly 1984-ish dystopian realm. Don't label me as an Orwelli-zealot just yet, think about it.
Good post, Moraelin.
Actually, it's only $70 a year for Xbox Live Gold. You clearly don't know what you're talking about.
For the most part, I'm impressed with Live. I get free game videos, demos, arcade games, I get my downloadable content, skins, etc.
Gaming online is only so fast as the internet your server is running on, but Live seems to do a good job picking a quick connection for the hosting - the only time I experience lag is when I'm filling my pipe with torrents. I played GoW campaign on Live with a guy from Uzbekistan with decent latency - so before you talk shit, at least try it out.
I read another commenter talk about how Chinese hackers (given away by the characters) overlapped his entire companies web browsers with iframes and used clever java to capture every keystroke and input, could this be somewhat related? Sorry, didn't RTFA
I pity you, and if you are white, I hope you never consider oppressing blacks is a good solution. After all, you would as soon turn into a monkey as turn into a black.
Watch out everyone, the race card is in play. Honestly, can't you come up with a better, more on track argument?.
I RTFA'd, and checking out KinderStart.com I noticed that KinderStart is just a search engine *for kids*, meaning that they remove things that they believe are not 'ok' for children to see... ...and their bitching about Google skewing their search results?
Ah, I wish I had known about that sooner.. I'll probably go back and see if any of the other employees are as fed up as I was and see if anything can come of it:)
I used to work at Best Buy about a year and a half ago, I started out in PCHO (computer/related sales) and moved up to Geek Squad (absolute joke).
Best Buy is such a disorganized corporation, I have no idea why people shop there - untill recently they offered rebates that would either take 16+ weeks to send, or not send at all. Time and time again I would have to explain to customers that 'we were not responsible' for any rebates lost, and I'm pretty sure that the higher-ups knew about the shadyness of the companies we were purchasing from and didn't say anything. Most of Best Buy's revenue comes from printers, cartridges, printer cables ($30+ for a USB chord? HA!), and the warranties. We were told to push warranties as much as possible, because they could charge $50-$200 for something and come up with reasons how we could not have to honor them.
On Geek squad, a little old lady brought in her computer to be fixed - her grandson had loaded the thing with spyware, all it would take was a simple reformat (everything she needed was about 10 pictures and a text file), and I had to tell her it would be over $200. I offered to do the reformat myself off the clock, but my manager told me no. I slipped her my number and did the thing for a batch of chocolate chip cookies (worth it!).
Another shitty thing I experienced was people were bringing in their computers that one of my fellow technicians had 'fixed', (ie: ran Panda Active Scan and deleted a couple registry files), but there was still obvious problems with the thing. The customer complained and said that the product had not been fixed and the computer was still acting up, instead of honoring the 2-year warranty that she had paid $150 for, my manager told me just to tell the customer it had water damage to void the warranty and to send her on her way.
I blatantly told my manager he was a hack, to fuck off, and quit that very day.
Best Buy sucks.

Considering yourself a gamer/true nerd hile using dial-up is like a unich calling himself a pornstar.

We need a -1 Flaming mod

Honestly, the majority of our local Skynet addicts will be delighted to find themselves 'wanted'.
Yes, probably because you'd rather just pay the 75 cents and be on with it rather than taking your time to hack the RFID?

Haha thank you, that's awesome advice! I'm going to stop by tomorrow and see if he still works there :]
