For anyone considering purchasing SWG: Jump to Lightspeed, take a few moments and read some of the reviews and comments on this page, especially the review posted by FeebleMan about half way down on page 1.
What sort of a stupid error message is that? No I don't want you to remove the bookmark - surely having designer check the error code that gets returned to it in a situation like this and offering more appropriate choices wouldn't be rocket science to implement?
"We agreed to do the following" , "We will go ahead and change...." , "We will then implement...."
What's up with this "we" when I only see one person doing anything?
[11:32:55] (MG5) you know -I input -d server_hostname 80 -p tcp -y -j ACCEPT beats Next, Next, Finish! any day
But it's related to Linux - which means the answer will come in the form of 23923 spotty fuckers arguing over semantics and the most efficient and 'best' way to answer this simple question, and will then degrade into a 'my distro has a bigger fucking cock than your distro' argument.

The word of the day, is solipsistic.
Discussing the new Auckland Mayor in this posting on publicaddress.net, Russell Brown makes the point that I meant to make myself:

It simply sits there with a worrying icon of a battery with an exclamation point on top of it. I read it as "OMG D: YOUR BATTERY IS TEH FUXX!!24". Seems what it actually means is that it's too low to connect to the computer for syncing, even though it should be currently charging. I find it a bit worrying that they couldn't find...
