I thought that the failure to stay in sleep mode and the bluetooth issues were two different things. I've not done anything about it yet, but the fact that it won't stay in sleep worries me. Thanks for making me think about it, hah. Off to Nextbyte... They seem to be much more helpful than Apple Support. They even told me ways to con Apple Support into helping me with my iPod.
Lately, I've been really annoyed by Apple. First Support being an arse, and now the iPhone bricking. Sigh.
Are they mutually exclusive? Why can we not keep usability and customisability yet be simultaneously easy to use and family-friendly? Different Linux distributions, perhaps? Just as there are different versions of Windows and Mac OS. Linux could go mainstream with a small initial fee, and no licencing fee. A geeky version, a family version? Like Ubuntu, which has different versions for different uses (education, home use).
That's gotta suck. How long did you talk to him/her for? You can usually tell after a while, from manner of speaking (or so I've found), and webcams confirm identity at least a little. In terms of age and sex, that is.
I agree. I have just become single, after being in one of these "online relationships" for a year. It was more real than any other relationship I've been in.
What is real is the hurt you feel after the relationship is over. We had established that after she visited me in Australia, her and I would move to her country, Belgium (where same-sex marriage is legal), and get married. She was my angel.:( Then she ran off with her best friend, another online relationship.:P She continues to string me along, though, just in case it doesn't work with this Norwegian bitch. Meh. Online relationships are very real. They're much more difficult than RL relationships, because of the longing you feel for them which isn't fulfilled, but it was more fulfilling than any other relationship I've been in.

The end of me having Kelloggs Crunchy Nut and banana for breakfast? Nooooo.
And the dropbear. Don't walk under trees in the bush!

No one tell Randall Munroe about this, or he'll start running away from birds.
