A bird-loving jack ass neighbour of mine poisoned two of my cats and shot one in the side with a shotgun. The shot one managed to get back to our garden before it died - not a fun sight to see when you're 4. Thank god the prick died a few years ago. He was so hated in our town that they did the...

Does Windows 7 still have UAC then? Because when that's disabled, "run as administrator" is not needed when your account is administrator.

I used Ivacy, a pretty excellent proxy program. There's even a Firefox plugin so you can just activate it with a click while surfing. It's not free though but it's $10 or so for 20GB so it's really not that much.

Making my nephew laugh. I must admit my life is pretty miserable (although more because of others making it so than through my own fault) but he's pretty much the brightest spot in my life. He's 2 years and a few months old and he's changing so quickly and he's very fond of me which is a reward...

Jesus, what's up with the fanboy articles? The GTX295 is still quite a bit faster in nearly all games so how the hell is that the "fastest card ever". And the price is pretty much similar to the GTX295 too.

Thank god they're rare here. Only the slums have them. At most, I see a fly or a spider.

I luckily don't have to either. The head of pre-press does though, and he has to deal with all kinds of ridiculous demands. And crap like: C: "Why was there a price change on my order? We agreed on 5 euro per 1000 labels!" M: "Yes but you only ordered 2000 labels" C: "So?" M: "Erm that...

There's no such thing as an Ultimate PC of course, because it's impossible to predict where the market is going. Personally, I think it's very very unwise to even attempt to build such a system unless you got money to burn and are the kind to update their PC every year with the best of the...

PvP just never manages to be funny to me because it falls between two types of comedy that would work. His art style is that of more serious comics. Many of the jokes would really work better with his old-style art. For me facial expressions are everything in a visual joke and Scott sucks at it...

I fear mankind's stupidity and how it's impossible to overestimate it because it always catches you by surprise. Each day brings at least half a dozen new examples which makes me wonder what the F we're doing.

I steer clear of high school "friends". High school was pretty much a "grin and bear it" experience, with a lot of ****s who thought I was "asocial" because I wanted to do things my way i.e. don't just go to parties and get drunk. Anything that wasn't popular to do, was lame. Reading books...

Big developers often have early access to an OS exactly to prepare their software before launch. Pretty obvious since it's in the benefit for the OS since poorly running software isn't good PR (look at Vista). And it's at 3.5.3 actually now ;)

Hmm I can't help you since I only use a Mac for graphics work and not for surfing, but on PC, Firefox keeps a big ass folder with all your info in it (bookmarks, plugins, history, passwords, etc.) and I assume that on Mac, it's the same thing. I'd say, make a backup of that folder, then delete...

The game only picks up after a few hours. It's the one review of Yahtzee which is very VERY strongly disagree with. He slammed it without playing anything but the start of the game which is not as good as the rest of the game. Also, The Witcher is one of those RPGs which is a joy to replay...

And repetitive as it may have been ... AC was a lost opportunity.

Where's the "because everything always goes wrong on mondays" option? It's funny how you can tell from the start of the day how the rest of the day will go - had a terrible day yesterday!

Heh, there's too many songs I hate. There's this song called Underground from Belgian band Das Pop which I really hate. I wish I could show you a Youtube link but the Belgian copyright organisation SABAM (the M stands for Mafia I'm sure) took loads of Belgian clips down a few weeks ago...

First level customer support is the worst. They don't know anything except what's on their sheet most of the time, and refuse to pass you on to the next level until replied to their questions. One time, my cable modem was broken after lightning struck my place and had unplugged it to play...

Windows 7 is not really an update you'd get just for the sake of getting it. If you use it daily, it has massive advantages compared to XP - many which Vista already had but a few extra ones. But it's not about running software Windows XP can't. This is Windows we're talking about -...

Heh, all the witch hunts for child molesters but none for pyromaniacs and it's amazing how often entire buildings go up in flames because of them. Last night several Belgian post trucks got wrecked by fire which was nearly certain caused by arson. And what about those huge forest fires that...
