This is horrible advice. Giving up something you really love doing because the partner doesn't like it sows the seeds of resentment. OP needs to find a technical solution to the noise issue so he can still play and she can get relief from the computer noise.
> SRS is awesome
Today isn't opposite day. SRS sucks, just like every other SJW subreddit. I don't like a lot of stuff that goes on over on Reddit, but
I also don't have a burning need to play internet cop, either.
I'm late to this thread, but some people are bitching about a 99 cent book being too expensive?
It's a dollar. Unless the ebook is truly horrible, you'll get a dollar's worth of entertainment.
Gearscore is only one of the requirements. Most of the time, pug ICC raids ask not for just gearscore but achievements too. So, often, even if someone has read up and is prepared, they don't get invited because they haven't already done it once.
We get it. You're an expert on Snell's law. Good for you. The reality is, however, that 65ft is a reasonable restriction, even if someone can't get every shot they want to get. These kinds of restrictions are in place all the time, in situations where efforts may be hampered or pose a danger to bystanders. For example, accident scenes and fires. The police will keep you a reasonable distance away from stuff like that.
Management _always_ says nothing is going to change.
But almost invariably the bean counters start looking at redundant positions and start looking for ways to merge the organizations.
Anyone who has any kind of hobby or activity they enjoy is going to spending money on it.
$60 on gold is a drop in the bucket when compared to the other things I like to do.
. I loathe these kinds of kids as much as you do...pretending to be poor artists whilst chowing on mom's meatloaf at 6 every night...those people are not poor, not artists, and do not need free wifi...they need to move out of the damned house and get a job.
I see they have cranio-rectal inversion disease in Old Blighty as well.
As much as I don't like some of the stuff you're ranting about, the consumer ultimately dictates what products and services they want. And Blockbuster isn't going to show up in your smarmy neighborhood, showed up because consumers wanted it.
Wanker.
Good business plans dont require sacrifice, bad ones do. HP isnt in the shitter because 15,000 employees decided to slack off - management FUCKED UP. But they are in charge, so there is no way they're going to be held responsible.
The failure of Olympus to write and distribute proper drivers for your camera are hardly the fault of Linux or any other OS for that matter.
The failure of Linux to make any substantial gains in the home desktop market provides little incentive for Olympus to produce said drivers.
Desktop in this context means "clueless users who want it to do what they think they want"
No, it doesn't mean a clueless user. It just means someone who doesn't want to tinker with stuff and just wants to run their applications.
And on that last point, Linux fails the desktop test for me. Linux will simply will not run the applications that I use.
Wake me up when Adobe Creative Suite runs natively on Linux.
The only reason these "young people" are all amped up to go to a bookstore at midnight is because their parents spoil them.
Sure, some parents spoil their kids, but lots of kids love the HP books and there's nothing wrong with it being a bit of an event when a new book comes out.
It's summer and if they stay up late one night, what's the problem.
And for crying out loud, they're excited about a _book_. You know something to occupy them than the TV, video games or the computer.
No wonder the people I know that limit their kid's TV time to one hour MAXIMUM a day (and that includes video games) have normal, well-adjusted, intelligent kids who perform above average in all of their studies.
Which of course has fuck-all to do with the topic at hand. Besides, there are plenty of kids that fit that description that don't have that type of rule to follow.
That's easy: The best graphic design and archetecture software out there (the pro-level stuff, anyway) is mostly Macintosh-based. They are using the right tool for the job.
That's hardly true today. Pretty much all of the heavy hitter software has version for both PC and Mac platforms.
" If you can get a bootleg version of something cheaper, wouldn't you get the cheaper one? So price the legitimate version at the bootleg price. Obviously it can be sold at the lower price at a profit otherwise nobody would bother selling the bootleg versions."
Um, the person selling the bootleg has incurred any of the cost of producing the material, so they can price it lower and still make a profit.
The problem is that Windows reminds the user over and over again. And if you happen to be away from your computer for lunch or something, it'll reboot for you, after a timeout.
It wouldn't be hard to have the option for "remind me in [some time period]"
"Ahh, I just hate it when I hear people say this. That statement is pure BS. As if windows has some inate ability to do something better than Linux. Windows does not do ANYTHING best, it just forces the market into only working with it, plain and simple."
And some of us find it amusing when Linux fanboys get their knickers in a twist.
Here's a reality check:
There are lots of applications that people use every day that don't run on Linux. I'll use Linux as my primary desktop when Photoshop CS, Nikon View and a whole lot of other apps run _natively_ on Linux.
It's axiomatic that you pick the OS based on the applications that you need to run.
Only fanboys believe otherwise.
"did you know that Bill Gates' father runs the charity?"
Why should anyone care WHO runs the charity? The bottom line is that it does a lot good stuff.

Contrary to popular opinion, Windows/PC users aren't all thieves. I'd be happy to be able to purchase an x86 version of OSX.
I could not agree more.

If I had mod points, I'd mod this up.

Certainly sounds that way to me.

People are mostly buying iPods these days just to be in with the crowd That is an amazingly ignorant comment to make.
That's hardly true today. Pretty much all of the heavy hitter software has version for both PC and Mac platforms.

Definitely true, but there are still enough long time Simpsons fans to support a feature film. Heck, a lot of folks will go just to see how bad it is.
"and every computer we have repaired for the last 15 months, and for the last " Of course you meant, with the customer's full informed consent, right?
It's not news, it's just flamebait. I think somebody wanted a nice little flame war to start today.
No.
