Comment Re:I'd never do it, but (Score 4, Insightful) 783

Hey I tried to install windows 7 alpha but now my computer doesn't work? I have a problem with my computer since I installed mega-zob-toolbar; please fix it. My kid gave me Adobe CS12 Mega Ultra Designer Pack-DOMINO-REPACK-XXXX to edit that PDF can I have admin right to install it? Hey, I've been trying to send that DVD by email for the last three days but it doesn't work and by the way the email server is very slow. Oh that? That's my home wifi router so I can work from the rec room. Really?? This Azureus software prevents other people from working? I can't see why. Hey IT guy why do you pretend it's my statistical report that i made myself in access that slows the database? I'm not even using the database; only access. Why won't you let us send .exe file by email!!!! THIS IS A BUSINESS REQUIREMENT!!!! You're working AGAINST the business!!!

Granted some admins go overboard. But users are a pain in the ass.

My car computer needs to be reset by an authorized dealer when I change the battery or if I need to jump start the car because i forgot my lights on. Otherwise it sucks twice as much gas as it should and some function such as anti sliding (whatever the name is) don't work. I'm pretty sure I can't switch to 4WD difflock either.

Comment Re:DLC (Score 2, Funny) 358

From what I saw wife is a mandatory upgrade for gf if you want to keep playing past a certain level. I've heard of account being canceled when some player tried to avoid it. The kid dlc is a sneak update, you can install it yourself on both gf or wife edition but if you don't it will be pushed to your account at some point anyway.

Comment Re:Operation Chinese Freedom (Score 1) 456

Both countries have the capacity to annihilate each other and I have difficulty seeing how it would end up differently. I can't see how the US would win a conventional warfare as 350 millions people nation trying to beat into submission a 1.6 billion correctly armed one seems just impossible. Even in the eventuality of a US victory it would be impossible for them to get any kind of control over a territory that big even if they shipped every US citizen over there. Invading China would be a moot point.

Most likely they would end up nuking the crap out of each other and we would all get to play fallout for free. (well.. not all of us.)

Comment Re:Emigrate to EUrope? (Score 1) 221

Just remember than European market is not as well integrated as the US's. You're talking about 27 (or so) different countries with different language/cultures/law. Targeting Europe in a way that you reach a market a big as the US means running at least 12 different marketing campaigns in 12 different languages. And no you can't just try to speak English to French, Italian, German, Spanish it just won't work.

Comment Re:Worked out bad with a cell phone (Score 1) 395

Allowed some minutes? I would have given them the finger and told them their stuff would be delivered by mail on their dime within 30 days. As for the laptop I would take the money but sure as hell I would rather throw it out of the window or under a truck if they tried to take it from me without giving me a decent time to remove my personal stuff. They might be able to sue but even that isn't clear cut and it's probably not worth the trouble.
