I decided to convince my brother to start playing Bay Station 12 on my laptop when it gets late at night, mainly because if I didn't, he'd stay up until 11 when I want to go to sleep at 9, even if it was a school night. He agreed, and tonight was the first time he was to start doing this. Finally, I'm going to be able to play Garry's Mod on the best computer we had, AND be able to go to sleep when I wanted to, right? Well, there's just one problem: He took the headset with him. That headset is the only one we have that has a microphone on it, thus the only one I can use for Voice Communication. I've asked him why he won't use the earphones, and this was his response: "Everything won't sound as good."

I've been using those earphones for months, listening to video-game music almost every time I used that laptop, and the sound quality on them is still good. And when I tell him that, he still insists that sounds won't come out like they should. Your playing a game of 2D SPACE-MANS, I don't see how sound quality is going to really affect that.

This rally is so stupid.

The opposition party does not make any suggestions on how to fix the country, all they do is hold protests on how unfair the government is. They dig up issues with no evidence (e.g. prime minister murdered so and so) and expect people to buy it. They call themselves the People's Alliance; everyone who refers to themselves as "the People" have always been deluded.

The government decides to label them as rioters (which is more subtle in our English papers). They ban this crap, they shut down roads to the area, telling people that it's going to be a traffic jam, but the real purpose is to imply that "Look, the opposition party is trying to shut down your roads. We build roads. If you love us, you'll vote for us."

Government and police beat up and tear gas a peaceful riot. Ok, that's subject to debate, but it's a hell lot less suspicious if they didn't have a law where all rioters and journalists have to give in their camera tapes. They take pictures of cars with the windshield smashed in and attribute it to angry rioters. What they don't mention is that the windshields were broken by tear gas canisters.

The opposition WANTS to get beaten up, martyred and have this all caught on tape, Gandhi style. They'd lose the next election for sure without it, since they're generally very incompetent. C'mon, they're trying to abolish university loans (because abolishing it is an instant short term bribe to all students that they don't have to pay back the loan, with no long term gain).

The government controls pretty much 80% of the mainstream media and loads it up with propaganda. The other 20% can't say anything bad or they get sued. The online media they can't control, so they put in worse Internet legislation than SOPA (e.g. if someone posts a hostile comment from your app, the person who made the app can be sued). Of course, the opposition parliament members who we so kindly voted into parliament were able to prevent the law from being enacted, but they were too incompetent to spot a bad law.

Netizens pointed out this law and tried to get it repealed. Federal government denied to repeal it. Opposition then played the martyr and did all kinds of claims about the governments evils and repression of freedom of speech (not that freedom of speech is even in our culture). Even though the opposition representatives were obviously slacking off on their highly paid jobs to make sure that shitty laws don't pass.

Oh, that thing.
Huh. I've never been bothered by it overmuch. It's actually saved my computer on at least one occasion.

Same here.  I have UAC on because sometimes I change my mind about what I want to run, and its easier to just hit cancel then wait through 5 or 10 seconds of startup just to close it.

Are you sure you wanted to open that folder?
Are you sure you wanted to move your mouse 4 pixels?
Are you sure you wanted to click yes?
Are you sure you wanted to make the subconscious decision to manipulate your motor neurons to translate electrical signals into movement in order to manipulate your mouse into translating a click into a digital signal which would be interpreted as-
Are you sure you wanted to throw your computer out of the window?

[Flying Dice]

Are you sure you want to do that, Dave?

[Akura]

Followed by I can't let you do that Dave. Permission denied, administrator access required(even if user has administrator permissions).


Also, GOG is still not letting me buy Imperial Glory. How long does their support team usually take to answer support petitions?

Most enraging thing is that notepad++ context menu does not work when the .exe is set to use administrator permissions.


E:

Got civ 4 for 10 euros, waited a week before I could download it, downloaded it.

And it won't launch.

Yaaay.

You need to run the installer in badmin mode with windose XP SP3 compatibility.

It worked fine for me ages ago.

I payed off too much of my debt. less than $200 left in my checking account. My next paycheck goes to rent/student loans/ 1st of the month automatic payments and is gone. I don't know how much money will be left after that. Maybe $400, maybe less. I won't be able to build up any kind of cash buffer again until the end of February.

I am kicking myself because I let my money get so dangerously low.

Lesson of the night: don't ever put cheese directly on a hot pan. It'll melt in seconds, then separate seconds later. One half becomes an oily mess that cannot be recovered, and the other half becomes a hardened wad of tasteless plastic/cheese gunk.

Manufactured plastic crap with salty flavor of course.
A good cheese wouldnt do that.

[penguinofhonor]

Cheddar. Not the cheapest kind, but definitely nothing fancy.

I watched Deathmatch because I thought it was good after ONE episode...

But it turns out it is the exception and my inability not to take everything serious as now pissed me off. ERRRR!!!

Ugh I hate internet who versus who battles.
