I mean seriously, I've nearly reached the 1500 post mile stone, and I Haven't. Been. Sigged. Once. Ah, well. Time to stop whining and try to get myself sigged!
Yeah, well I passed it (only by a few posts) and I don't think I've been sigged. I might have when nobody was looking but as far as I've seen, I'm sigged-less.
Fine: she just gets upset, doesn't change anything, and treats other people like crap because she can.  I don't think she has any sense of morality that says "Oh, I shouldn't do this because it's wrong," so anyone who gets in escalation with her just ends up in a pyrrhic war, nothing reasonable where she actually backs off and does anything.
Make strong front with other roomies, devolve into trench warfare in living room, hope for her economy to crash?
I think that's a war of attrition. Pyrrhic means you win, but at what cost? AT WHAT COST?!

Hm... but if it's a Pyrrhic victory, that is a good thing because implies that the plan involves bringing cats into the place and making them happy so that there is pyrring. [/I am the worst]

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

I thought that a Pyrrhic victory was a victory for bittorrent.

I just realized I passed the 1000 post mark. I've had one meaningless quote taken from me, in the DF boards. Not even my most siggable phrase. Nobody even knows me, as I have no avatar. I'll have to at least double or triple my posts to get avatar-less recognition.
I guess the guy still has it in his signature, for whatever reason. Lezard

Windows 8 looks very silly. But windows has most of games. :-\
Somewhat interesting to see a windows picture sans IE icon, though.

I feel stuck between the lies of the future and the truth of the past.

It looks like Windows is slowly, slowly getting to be more like apple.

Haven't you ever heard of the alternating rule for Windows? Every other one sucks, and the others are great. Windows XP was great, Windows Vista sucked, Windows 7 great, so Windows 8 will suck.

Apparently I made a friend uncomfortable and shared too much :/  I'm used to sharing everything, I'm utterly weirded out and devastated that some friends do not want to hear about certain subjects from other friends.  Or, I'm subconsciously aware of that fact but not consciously so.  I feel really, really stupid now.

I actually like the look of that. It's very clean. 7 and Vista have that Aero Glass or whatever theme. It's too much for me.

No using. That's not what freedom is for.

Oooo, I've had that one happen before. Was it about the gay thing, the religious conservative thing or are my guesses offensive and why would I think that?

That areo glass thing is easily changeable, I understand, but I bet will have provisions for that too

So, here's the deal with my roommate.

She's basically taking over shared space.  There's a large set of shelves in the bathroom, shared between three people.  She's slowly expanded her possessions to take all available space and leave no one else any space of their own; more than that, pretty much everything she owns is disgusting because she puts no effort into maintaining it (example: electric toothbrush with a thick layer of dry toothpaste caked on the head, from halfway down the neck, making an unbroken line all the way over the top of the handle).  We have a fridge we share; each of us has a shelf, and we share the bottom.  She uses the entire bottom, most of the top, and part of the middle (hint: the middle is mine).  We have a little table for dry goods.  She's taken over all of my side of that, too, but left big blank spots on her side.  Her discarded clothing and bedding are flung on all three of the (communal) living room couches, she's left books she isn't reading or using on the coffee table, there's pots with water and little bits of green stuff in them on 3/4 of the stove's burners, and she didn't clean the bathroom last week--so of course it defaults to me.

I don't like living here very much right now.

Has she pooped on the bathroom floor when drunk yet? Because if not then she's still got some ways to go before catching up with the annoying flatmate I had for 3 years.

Space Invader flatmates are unfortunately a very common infestation. I wish I could tell you of a cure but I never found one, some people just seem incapable of taking responsibility for their own stuff (and others). There should be an official test or something, failing means a year of mandatory boot camp.
