Quick, put on gay porn!

[kaijyuu]

Ha, I wish.

[Aklyon]

@Frumple
Is that with or without the current bunch of iOS to Steam releases happening? Going off of TB's recent WTF Is... videos, they haven't been terribly good but also quite a bit more expensive to boot.

@Kaijyuu
Get Ye Headphones?

Quick, put on gay porn!

If his workplace plays conservative talk radio, then doing anything "gay" would probably be grounds for termination

[kaijyuu]

Well I sit at the front desk and am ostensibly supposed to deal with customers, so headphones might not work out that well

Family run business. I'm part of that family.

That doesn't preclude it being grounds for termination though D:

EDIT: Maybe I can sneak the channel over to NPR...

Ak, I don't even bloody know. Not doing anything related to steam. Just trying to delete some damned photos and the bloody thing's giving me shit.

So I'm going to update it, wipe the whole damn thing clean, and then hopefully foist the PoS off on someone else in exchange for a device only moderately burdened by its OS. And I know exactly how to tell windows to go fornicate with goats when it starts trying to mouth off. I think the only way to get portable iOS to stfu and do what I want it to would be to jailbreak the damned thing, because whoever's leading Apple's software design team is apparently bereft of the sense the divine gave a blender humping rodent.

Current status: Somewhat annoyed!

E:Heeey. Itunes doesn't support download resuming, apparently. Pause the thing after downloading 600 megs, resume, and you get to download them all over again!

My software hate. All of it.

[penguinofhonor]

Wait, you're having trouble deleting photos on iOS? That shouldn't be hard at all.

[Frumple]

You'd think so! But apparently not. I can't delete them from the iPad itself. The delete option is red and unusable. I can't delete them via iTunes when the thing is plugged in. Itunes apparently can't tell the <string of vulgarities> things are there.

I think it's some bullshit relate to syncing, I'unno. I can't seem to get rid of the music or the videos, either. Regardless, I'm sorched earthing the m'fooker and calling it done. My hindbrain is already calling out vague depredations about the thousand fornicating young feasting on the entrails of the whoreson who decided a level of obfuscation between copy and goddamn paste and delete was a good idea. Don't need to keep trying to wrestle with it at that point.

Burn it and move on, save some blood pressure. And never actually purchase an apple product in the future. I mean, I wasn't going to anyway (the next personal use machine I get will probably just run Linux, much as I'd rather not), but this kind of crap just sorta' cements things.

[Aklyon]

Do you know if the laptop of less obfuscatitude has Windows XP, or Win7? (or Vista).

[Frumple]

No clue, but probably one of the three, yeah. Likely XP or vista, I'd imagine.

So, I was playing D20 Future with some friends over skype. They were feeling cocky, thinking they could take on the world. I put them against JC Denton. Total party kill is not strong enough to describe the one sided battle that occured. He was the same level as the heroes, and was built using the same rules for fifth level heroes. It went a little like this:


JC Sees the party from 500 feet away, as his vision is augmented (A high spot modifier helps...). He fires his sniper rifle, instantly downing the Smart hero from massive damage. The heroes take cover immediately, and JC hugs the wall, sneaking down the bulding to meet them. His last known location was an elevated building, with good firing lanes on a grid of shipping containers they are traveling through. Tough and fast heroes begin moving forwards, while the Dedicated and Charismatic drag the smart to safety. JC has at that point completely flanked the party, and sets several LAM's n the walls as he goes, before lobbing one at the huddled mass of vulnerable mental heroes. Smart dies, charismatic is downed, and Dedicated is badly injured. Tough and fast begin moving backwards. JC baits the tough/Fast with pistol fire, before leading them towards a LAM nest. They obligingly follow, and fast explodes and dies, while tough is badly injured. Tough begins autofiring wildly. JC cloaks, before moving to a better position and firing a LAW at the Tough hero, killing him instantly. Dedicated is freaking the fuck out at this point, and starts running wildly. JC denton delivers improved Knockout punch, decking him instantly, before delivering a CDG with a knife.

"What a shame"

I then displayed this link.

Never underestimate JC Denton.

Not really my raeg, but....

We got this software. It does things. It was largely developed by one person, maybe even entirely developed. So they tell this person that they're going on the road to one of our largest clients so they can turn this thing on, answer questions, troubleshoot problems....

3 days before they're due to leave, the OTHER secondary support person, who agreed to go only because the primary developer was going.....has now been informed the primary developer is NOT going. Because the primary talked to our boss on the sly and managed to weasel their way out of going. (Because the start of the trip happens to fall on one of two days they'd scheduled off.)

So now two people, who have next to no fucking idea how this thing even works, are going to be on-site fumbling through the implementation.

It's just kind of a dick move. We're a small company, and so this guy should KNOW that he's effectively dicking over two people and dumping stress on them, while he sits back in the office, remotely trying to answer questions and most likely getting frustrated because he won't "understand what they're talking about."

Well, no fucking shit. But then you're the one that decided to do this, aren't you? Despite the mantra that "we don't rely on any one person to get things done", that's entirely the case when the software design and implementation was in the hands of one person.

... iTunes, while active, runs eight different processes. When you close it, it continues to run six.

Bloat. Ware. Though I'm done, now. The ipad's been updated (and thus wiped clean, because like all sane programs* updating involves completely deleting your content! AHAHAHAHAAA) and I can happily scoure iTunes and everything apple related from this computer and wipe my hands clean of this filth. Though you do have to uninstall five different programs to get rid of everything the itunes installer shoves onto your computer. Gods only know what's been hidden up the comp's arse by whatever spyware-esq bullshit the thing pulls.

Always did wonder if I'd find an OS more annoying than windows. Welp!

*This is a blatant lie. I am now convinced these things were programed by lobotomized monkeys having their orifices violated by a roto-rooter.

Re: Nen: I wonder... does the fellow of a twirlable mustache? That's mustache twirl passive-aggressive shenanigans, I'd say. I mean... damn. At least more than a three day warning. A week? A month? Something. Not just, "Oh, day after tomorrow we're sending you to fumble in front of a major client. Enjoy!"
