Yeah, they are slow to fix some things... on the other hand, most of the bugs I've complained about HAVE been fixed, usually by the next patch. The responses were always the same "We are work to resolve this..." response, so I just figured it was a brush off, but then things actually get fixed. As for people "spamming" well... I can't say much for it. Just imagine how hard it would be to try and manage a bunch of PAYING customers who complain about each other. They can't just kick someone for being a bit annoying here and there, and on the other hand, they don't have nearly enough resources to monitor people's behavior all the time. And while it may be "obvious" that people are being 'tards to you, it's not always so apparent when you jump into the middle of something. Anyone who's ever been a forum mod knows what I'm talking about... Now imagine only getting the last 10 posts, rather than the whole thread. Who's to blame? You just have people pointing fingers at each other, and no real evidence to go on.

P.S. Data: You spelled your title wrong. It should be "cigoL esreveR"

P.P.S. I'm suddenly saddened that I notice backwards mispellings by accident, yet have trouble properly spelling a vast majority of words forwards.

Ha ha! Suckers!

My bad again. It seems that Battlestar Galactica is the best television show in existence after all. :-)

In all seriousness though, I'm entirely amazed that there's this much good sci-fi around right now. I used to feel lucky to get one show a week that didn't suck, now I've got three, and in a few months Doctor Who starts up again, so that'll be four shows a week of excellent science fiction. Woot!

Oh, trust me, that scene is quoted quite frequently in this house.

Ugh... I was drinking Pina Coloda by the pint last night, which is somewhat regretful now. FYI, as I was telling Ashley, SoBe Lizz Blizz + Whaler's Black Rum is an excellant Pina Coloda, but once you get to the point where you're mixing more rum than SoBe, you should really stop drinking. At the very least, you shouldn't go and mix a pint-sized White Russian simply because you finished off the whole bottle of rum already. :-)

In other other news... Stargate: SG1 is the best television show in existence.

...But pretending Amanda Tapping isn't pregnant is just stupid.

Or is it? Later in this episode someone asked "So you're single?" and she said "Not exactly."

Gaelic Storm! How did I forget them... I listened to that so much that I got known all over town as "That Irish Bus Driver"

or you can use Gaim, that's what i use in linux to connect. No voice chat bit though.

Okay, so I finally broke down and got a gmail account, mainly so I can use google talk, as I'd like to see AOL die a horrid death as soon as possible... but I need instant messaging. Anyway, for those with accounts, I'm Xepher42, so that should be easy enough. Those who don't, well you should look into it. Google's gonna take over the world soon no matter what, so I'm just crossing my fingers for "Benevolent Dictatorship" and drinking the kool-aid. :-P

Actually, since my old guild died, I've joined a new one. So far, quite good and active, so plenty of fun people to play with whenever I get online. Thanks though!

And in case anyone's curious, I've got a 47 elf druid on Terenas, and a low level (20ish) tauren hunter on Shadow Moon. Lemme know if youre one either and want to play.

Me First have some great covers. I like most of them much better than the originals. I think "I am a rock" is their best cover though.

FYI, Gracey, hilarious signature. Not many people quote Coupling... that show is hilarious. I'm talking the original british version, the short-lived amercian hack version was possibly the worst butchery ever. Really proves that point that England and America are two countries "divided by a common language."

Yeah, going to school at A&M, Pat Green was a local favorite, along with Robert Earl Keen and Cory Morrow. Funny thing is, I move halfway 'cross the country to Steamboat, and over the first winter here, every single one of them played concerts here. Not that I got to go, as I was too busy driving the bus and taking all the drunks home from such things... So glad that's behind me now!

Find? No... The above insanity is entirely my own doing, so compliment=mine too! :-)

I really enjoy WoW, playing with people online in a huge, pervasive world is great. Problem is, no matter how much I focus on making my character good, there will always be thousands of these lamers that have simply paid some poor korean to do their gaming for them. What is the fracking point? If you buy a game to play, and then pay someone else to play it for you... does that make any sense?

But now you've scared away all the invisible cyber-monkeys. This is why awareness of the information ecology is so important. The vast web of man's intertron has spread into all the corners of cyberspace, driving out the native creatures and forcing them into extinction. The invisible cyber-monkey's main habitat used to be empty forums, though with humanity's encroachment into most of those, they're taken to residing in disused email accounts and forgotten BBSes, scrounging through humanity's refuse for useable electrons. The info wilderness shrinks daily as thousands upon thousands of tropical gigaforest are harvested and reformatted for man's use. Every day the wild cyber-creatures are slowly going extinct. So before you ruin more pristine electrons with thoughtless posts, please... think of the invisible cyber-monkeys.
