  1. Re:I'd like one change on Wii Hardware Upgrade Won't Happen Soon · · Score: 1

    My Wii component cables were about half the price of the official version & work just fine.

    Same for this controller I got for the PS2. The blue LEDs in it are irritating, but the controller functions OK.

    And since the Wii's got a proprietary connector on its end, it's another chance for Nintendo to make a mint on accessories.

    I know you can get component cables for it from 3rd parties at a lower price, but the average user won't know that.

    You're a 'tard or a troll. Either way, having a conversation with you is akin to having one with this keyboard, so welcome to my killfile.

    What does any of your drivel have to do with my point that she's monumentally unqualified and unprepared for the job of VP? The woman's an intellectual lightweight and proud of her ignorance, and the McCain campaign picking her /was/ in fact a sop to get the mouth-breathing base excited.

    I really don't care about the Heroic Conservative Myth that she's the victim of the eeeevil librul mainstream media. But how about you read and understand what I write before engaging in internet drama?

    BDS/PDS is a wonderful conservative invention. You have only to invoke it, and you can proceed to ignore /anything/ the person you imagine to have it has to say.

    You're a fucking moron.

    She got people with two brain cells to rub together worked up because she was monumentally unqualified and unprepared for the job, and choosing her was such an obvious sop to the same emotional whackjobs the parent was complaining about.

    Obama has been attacked plenty of times by the left, throughout his entire presidency. How on earth can you honestly pretend otherwise.

    Confirmation bias.

    Then again, perhaps Google knows what they're doing.

    Tell me you're not one of those people who piss and moan about bugs on various fora but never submit a bug report.

    Youtube is a byword for horrifyingly stupid and banal comments. The best Youtube comments still make Slashdot seem like a collection of Nobel prizewinners.

    Eh. I used mutt on Debian for /years/, and I might still be using it for work-type stuff if its IMAPS support wasn't unnecessarily difficult.

    As it is, I use Thunderbird at work (by choice).

    Any other dumb stereotypes I can demolish?

  14. Re:yes on Does a Lame E-Mail Address Really Matter? · · Score: 1

    I actually had a Hotmail address from late 1996, when they were still independent. It was firstname-middleinitial-lastname@hotmail.com (no hyphens).

    I got tired of the constant non-blockable spam from Microsoft around '99 or '00 and quit using their service altogether. Plus their interface redesign was atrocious and wouldn't work at all with Lynx, and being limited to 2MB of storage sucked, especially considering said non-blockable Microsoft spams.

  15. Re: easier to have a webmail address on Does a Lame E-Mail Address Really Matter? · · Score: 1

    I really can't be bothered to set up my own stuff.[1]

    Plus I tend to procrastinate, and I'd probably end up with a squatter getting the domain several months after I print up a bunch of business cards.

    [1] I do run Linux at home and work, got a long-lived Debian file/inventory/web server at work, but I'm really OK with letting a professional company with real sysadmins run my mail service. Beats dealing with spammers myself.

    I've got a Yahoo email address. Would you have been do stupidly biased against me?

    That's my primary because Yahoo mail doesn't suck too badly (the "classic" interface, anyway), I've had the email address for about eleven years, and it's easier to have a webmail address as primary instead of an ISP's in case I move somewhere else.

    It's true. Oil-based lubes eat rubber.

    For condom use, get a water-based lubricant like KY. The stuff also works a treat when you need a wank.

  23. Why do you all-cap Kia? on KIA Bringing News & Social Media To Your Car · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You're not talking about someone killed-in-action (cue obvious jokes about distracted driving). Kia's not an acronym.

    Are you one of those tossers who think it's necessary to all-cap "Mac" when you speak of Macintosh computers?
