In that case make sure you bill him the extra for authentic arcade scent. One day it'll be hard to come by.

Trying to watch the Amazing Spiderman, but for some reason every time I see Peter Parker I can't help but think he resembles Moh.

What the hell happen to youtube? why do they have to completely change their layout as soon as we get comfortable with it? do they really think they're improving it?!

True, the only way to guarantee finding your inbox is to bookmark it when it shows up (what I did).

Yeah the last redesign was great, but this one is just god awful. Can't find anything. Recommendations is terrible. What was wrong before where subscriptions became prevalent and recommendations were in the side bar?

Judging by what's prominent now, YouTube execs thought that not enough people were subscribing to official channels for movie trailers, music videos, and glorified commercials (but I repeat myself).

Not sure if I stated this before, but seeing or hearing "should of" instead of "should have" floods my system with fu**inghateyoutol and stranglecine hormones. Same with "prolly" instead of "probably" because it makes it sound like "proletariat". Native English speakers shouldn't need to be corrected by foreigners like me...

people who get bothered by "prolly" bother me
Unless people say it with an emphasis on the O like "proooooly" instead of "prawly", in which you should hit that person with a small trout.
A large trout would break their spine, and you'd likely have murder on your hands.

this entire post is tongue in cheek, my [legitimate] actual annoyance is that every time I type "galaxy", I consistently mess up and type "galazy", and "tounge" instead of "tongue", and I know I can type better than that

And to be completely fair, native English speakers know better [usually], but they don't give a damn. Some of it's just a dialect thing, sometimes it's sheer laziness.
Come check out my website, I guess. Random stuff I've worked on over the last two decades.

The fact that a bunch of medical/health authorities agree on the primary importance of a "healthy lifestyle" while nobody seems to know how to assess how healthy/unhealthy an actual lifestyle is (as opposed to vague generalities amounting to a list of hints/guidelines).

Also, jaw-droppingly shitty studies getting tons of media play.

You have 2 options:

- Split that archive with 7zip or winrar because that file should be huge if it takes that long

- Call your internet provider for explanations. Don't forget to menace then of changing your internet service provider for an extra speed and quality client service.

Now the question is, how much does you file weights?

its a 1 gig file, and I seemed to have fixed the problem!

i was connected to the wireless network in my home, but after switching to a direct ethernet connection, the upload time shot down ~200 minutes, which sounds about right :] thanks for the help though!

and how much money the government spent trying (and failing) to enforce abstinence in sex ed classes.

yeah, the new design sucks. I'm sure they're keeping to some unwritten law that its illegal to make things simple.

edit: people who kill people. there's a little thing called Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto. shoot people all you want there.

Someone mentioned about the huge number of Sonic fanfics out there. I would say Pony (or worse, Bro-nies).

People who advertise and/or are impressed by "copy arts" in PCB sales as if someone's access to the internet and a color printer adds value or desirability to a PCB.

I guess this doesn't annoy me so much as make me laugh and cringe.

The time is based on GMT anyway, so they still have to wait another 17 hours before rejoicing. Idiots.

Angry Birds Chrome updates

So when the game first came out it loaded levels pretty much instantly and things were fine, people were happy and pleased.

Then UPDATE! Ads! Now occasionally hitting the reload button will make you have to wait for 20-30 seconds while an ad for an AB plushie or some other shit appears and the loading bar counts down. You can get rid of this for money.

Then UPDATE! Redesigned start screen, now there was an ad Angry Piggies. Can't play it for free of course, boots you into their store.

But now the most mysterious UPDATE! The Bad Piggies clickable is gone and now there is an Angry Birds Star Wars in its place. Literally nothing else is changed.

Click Angry Birds SW, go to Facehugbook, see something that looks vaguely game-box-shaped for a moment and then it goes right to the usual "login to Facebook" shit.

Facehugger can't die soon enough.

To get off the city bus, the door at the rear has a sign on it that clearly says "touch here to open door" with a picture of a hand underneath. I don't know if people are illiterate or something, but I swear I've seen this a dozen times while riding the bus: instead of touching the clearly marked area to activate the sensor, people just stand there waving their hand at the picture of the hand with a dumbfounded look on their face wondering why the door won't open.

I think thats a matter of location. stupid people tend to flock to certain areas of the world like birds.
