Did you really need to "Ask Slashdot" about this? If T-Mobile's CSRs hung up on you, then you march down to the nearest store and let loose on the first salesperson you see. You *should* have gotten the names of those CSRs (I always make a point of writing down the person's name when I call any kind of support) to give to whoever it is that finally *does* take your complaint. Either they or their manager should be fired.
And, once you get this issue resolved, leave T-Mobile.
My mom is Korean. My dad is American and left-handed. When my brothers and I would hold utensils with our left hands my mom would whack the hands with a large wooden spoon. You can imagine how much that really freaking hurts.
I could have been a top baseball pitching prospect too!;)
Because this is Slashdot, an extremely biased site that often reports opinions as news, and where the editors do all they can to promote flaming and bashing by adding inaccurate titles to the articles they post.
Freed the people of Iraq from a brutal dictator, saving the lives of thousands upon thousands of Iraqis in the process
There are lots of brutal dictators in the world. When are we going to start invading half of Africa? How about North Korea? I can't wait! Or do we only care about people oppressed in resource-rich nations? We also killed thousands upon thousands of Iraqis (non-militants) in the process.
Also, I don't recall anything about "brutal dictators" or oppressed people in the case made for war. It was all about some sort of arsenal of nukular weapons. Even though inspectors didn't find any, that simply meant that they were hidden REALLY well.
as well as captured 75% of the leadership of Al Qaeda.
Yeah that seems to have put a real dent in things. Since terrorist acts of violence have actually increased by... A LOT... since Sep 11, 2001. Perhaps if hadn't left the job of pursuing Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban to the Pakistanis so we could invade/occupy Iraq, then they wouldn't be gathering strength in Afghanistan again as we speak.
I still have a job in the tech sector, and that's all that matters to m[e]
Well that pretty much is the creedo of the Republican party. Sell out everything in the long-term in exchange for $400 more a year. Who cares if we are ALREADY IN A FUCKING DEFICIT AND EXPENSIVE WAR so that our children will end up paying for your sorry-ass tax cut and they'll get no benefit from it. But who cares! Short-term benefits for ME!
Good. America is running out of people with morals and values.
As long as they're YOUR values? And what is moral about giving extraction/polluting industries free reign to pollute our rivers and lakes? What is moral about jacking those most in need of prescription medicine with higher bills than any other industrialized country so your big pharma buddies can get some fatter dividend checks? What is moral about doing some insider trading to the tune of $800K while your stockholders lose millions? Bush was Enron BEFORE it cool!
So when can we expect your patches for all these things to start working?
I love how people who aren't involved in development at all start making up timelines for features and then bitching.
I hope that everyone realizes that the main gaim devs are not involved in gaim-vv. They are actively working to improve protocol support, *when they have time*. As you said, this is "Free Software," which implies that the developers also work for free at their leisure.
The Republicans did lose a very close election before, in 1960, and you didn't see Republicans whining about the result like the Democrats still are about 2000.
If Gore had lost the election fairly, that would be fine. But the felonious actions on part of the Secretary of State of Florida at the time, the person in charge of the election, who was also the head of the Bush campaign for Florida, Katherine Harris, pretty much guarantee me the right to bitch for all eternity.
Compared to the first two films it was pretty lame. Sophia Coppola is not a good actress. The scene of the cardinal being thrown from the staircase was good though.
Matrix Revolutions was awe-inspiring.
Eh? EH?!?!?! What is your definition of "awe"? If you mean a feeling of wanting to vomit at the end with the sun-shiney day and rainbow then yes, I was ready to "awe" all over the place. I'm surprised they didn't go the whole nine yards and have some cartoon bunnies and flowers sprouting out of the ground in some Roger Rabbit-esque finale.
Now that I think about it I don't like Return of the Jedi that much either, but it's still better than SW Ep I or II.
Jaws 3 sucked as well. Man I should write a book on this.
Hopefully this can enter the front-running for the title of Worst 3rd Movie Installment Ever. Matrix Revolutions recently took it from The Godfather Part 3.
That might be the case if Colonel Stallman wasn't too 'heavily' involved with Colonel Sanders. Would he even fit in the Army barber's chair, let alone me wondering if the Army Corps of Engineers will be needed to cut through the forest of hair on RMS.

You never "have to" do anything unless there is a specific version dependency. It's just a portage notification that there are newer versions out there if you want them.
Setting up CUPS is easy, but the drives available for my Canon BJC-3000 printer all SUCK. Normal printing is all faded, and even the "high quality" printing (which takes FOREVER to print) still has crappy colors.
My wife wants to print things like cards or color signs and labels. Until someone writes a much better BJC-3000 driver, (I'm using the gimp-print-4.2.5 driver) I'll have to keep that windows partition around.

Thankfully we've got some proactive synergies and tremendous upside.
If you mean the version that broke apps like TeamSpeak, then yes that has been fixed. That is a pretty recent (last couple of months) but though.
Michael Savage needs to be bound, gagged and tossed into a ravine.

Probably involved this product.
Since you're now trolling on par with your IRC skillz, I'll say good day to you.
I don't find user problems every day. I mention them in terms of their validity and possible solutions. Much different that your whiny tantrum.
I'm a distro maintainer so I deal with user issues.
Mentioning this topic (or any other user-centric topic) in #gaim will get you kicked pretty quickly .
WRONG. Joining the channel and whining and flooding like you did (yes I remember) will get you muted or kicked.
I mention user problems in #gaim every day and I don't get kicked. That's because I'm not a whiny selfish ass like you were those couple of days.

I sure hope Bush gets elected to be X.Org president.
That depends, does the person with the most votes actually win this election?
Godfather 3 was sublime. A beautful film.

Although Revenge of the Nerds 3 was pretty bad.
