  1. Re:Could Not Disagree More on Why We Don't Need Gigabit Networks (Yet) · · Score: 1

    My folks get 7 Mbps down with their DSL service. Apparently the DSL in your area sucks hard.

  2. current games, same crap over and over on Are Games Worth Complaining About? · · Score: 1

    This is why I don't buy new games much anymore. I stick to my DOS and Windows 9x games the most. I enjoy the lost art of having to use your brain to get through a game, not just blowing crap up ala FPS or just building a base and attacking the opposing players ala RTS. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy those types of games occasionally but the formula and rhythm to them get stale after awhile. My biggest peeve these days is the graphics quality of a game take priority over story, control or length of game.

    Those of us that don't browse the Internet, watch movies or listen to music via the CLI :P

  4. Re:Oh, it's clear something has to change! on Monthly Ubuntu Releases Proposed · · Score: 1

    KDE 3 was usable whereas KDE 4 was/is more concerned about flashy bells and whistles than usability. Sadly enough, its the same state of affairs that Gnome is in, Gnome 2 being great and Gnome 3 being a steaming pile that people are avoiding like the plague. Funny how history repeats itself like that.

    How are the Thunar bugs working out for you? I ran Xubuntu 11.04 for about 30 minutes before the lag and hangups when opening folders in Thunar caused me to give up on it.

    KDE 3.5 was far far better than any 4.X version. KDE 4.0 was actually the reason I switched from Kubuntu to Ubuntu in the first place. I tried mint for awhile, but found its latest release to be very unstable(programs randomly closing, user getting randomly logged out).

    How many times has pasta been served to you without you requesting it? Do you just walk into a restaurant and sit down and BAM!, pasta is on your plate? No. If she doesn't order pasta, she doesn't get pasta. The fact that this little snippet is on her wiki page is to point out the fact that she likes to create drama. "Oh damn, I've been given pasta, which as the world according to me knows, I don't eat. I think I shall complain to the waiter/waitress about this, but wait, never fear, I have four days worth of salami in my purse for just this scenario. The day has been saved. Now I shall go home and blog about this horrific event." She is either a drama queen or BSC or both. Since you are quick to defend her and since you hide as a AC I can only assume you are one of her followers. Sucks to be you.

    She always carries four days' supply of salami with her, in case someone serves her some pasta, which she does not eat.

    *sigh* Drama is the first thing that came to mind, yes.

    Don't bother with FF on Android, its HORRIBLE.

  10. Re:It seems good on Reaction To Diablo 3's Always-Online Requirement · · Score: 1

    Agreed. I love playing single-player campaigns. I do not play with others online nor do I want to. D3 just dropped off my list of games to buy unless this always-connected requirement gets dropped.

    I figured as much. I kinda wonder how much gold is to be had from a couple hundred Dell's though. Hmmm....

    Does this mean I can start sending the pallets of Dells we toss out to them and get a crappy Mac in return? Yay....

    Correct, and it never will be until it can be administrated via group policy as IE can.

    Cameras and cellphones made you feel less dirty?

    Customer: "Which camera should I buy?"

    Best Buy sales rep: "Either this one that has more mega-pixels or this one that costs more, which means it takes better pictures."

    I guess if that made you feel like less of a con-man...
