Comment Re:Google Apps (Score 1) 194

It took two or three tries for it to actually show up in my mailbox at all. If you're logged into an apps account, going to plus.google.com doesn't work at all, you can't see anything beyond the error message about it not working because your organization doesn't support profiles.

When you click an invite to google+ and you're logged into a google apps account you get a message that says:

Oops... you need a Google profile to use this feature.
Google Profiles is not available for your organization.

From the reading I have done on the web it says that google profiles are not yet available for google apps, though they are working on that in the future. I can't, in fact, find any other references besides your own saying anything except that google profiles are not yet available for google apps users.

Comment Google Apps (Score 5, Informative) 194

it's okay, I can't sign up for an account anyway. Why you ask? It's because my email is hosted with google apps, and google apps doesn't support google profiles, which are required for google+. I'm the admin for the domain, so it's not a case of I haven't flipped a switch for myself and my users, it's a matter of google not offering support for it. I'd love to use google+, but as an adopter of other google services I find I'm left in the cold here. My google apps use is much more important to me than google+ is.

Comment Once again the pirates win! (Score 1) 535

Good job Capcom, you know which people will be able to play the game as many times as they want? Software pirates. If they beat the game and want to give it another go they'll just delete the save game on their flash cart so it's like the game was never played.

I guess I can cross Capcom off my list of companies that I'll buy games from.

Comment Something more complicated (Score 1) 264

My last flight left on time, but arrived early... in the wrong city. We had to make an emergency landing because they were getting a warning about the landing gear. Right before we landed the pilot got on the intercom and told us all to ignore the firetrucks and ambulances parked off the side of the runway. We ended up having to catch a different flight home, and ended up arriving several hours later than we were supposed to.

Comment Re:Carter lead Reagan 2 years out too (Score 1) 1128

When attempting to slow the economy, actions can be taken that will see results THAT very day. When attempting to jump start an economy that's in free fall you don't have such options. Go taken an introduction level macro economics course, you might find it eye opening. I don't always agree with the democrats (though I find I do agree with them more than the republicans), but it's the mindset you exhibit itself that keeps politicians from either side from ever actually doing anything. If the general public doesn't see instant results (which are impossible), then they immediately want to vote everyone out of office.

Actually, once during my current subscription they lowered the price. I got a nice letter saying that my price per month went down some amount (like a dollar or two or something). They may raise their prices in the future (it would make sense with the fact that inflation does happen) but it will probably be some time before they do.

Comment I shoot a 35mm camera still (Score 1) 342

That's mostly because I can't afford a DSLR, and also because I mostly prefer black and white photography, and enjoy actually doing the dark room work myself. I've actually got an old 8x10 sitting in my garage I've been meaning to fix up and use, but I've not found the time more money to yet.

Comment Notorious for destroying peoples credit (Score 2, Informative) 220

When I worked in the mortgage industry, everyone said that these people would destroy your credit. I saw instances of them submitting the same account to the 3 credit rating bureaus under different business names so that credit reports made it look like people had way more outstanding debt. I've heard horror stories about them as a lender in general in fact, so much so that I've been given advice to never accept a store credit card that's backed by HSBC. I also briefly did work for them as a real estate appraiser, and our firm rather rapidly decided to stop doing business with them entirely, though I cannot remember what the reasoning is now (it's been several years).
