Random Rants VI: See, this is why we can't have nice things!

Just get there four hours early, and you'll be fine.

Windows Vista's Administrative Crap gets on my nerves too. I know security is good, but this is almost as bad as the security at major US airports.

That is a fantastic analogy. Outstanding!

Agreed!

erm.. That reminds me, I have a flight which departs from Newark at 6:30 am.

Ah Newark, crown jewel of the North-Eastern airports.

Goin' anywhere fun?

School started today. My teachers seem a lot harder than last year.

Year and a half ago I bought Moccamaster. It's easy to clean, fixable if it goes broken, and besides the coffee really tastes better. Now I noticed the glass can had become fractured. It hadn't been hit anywhere at least very hard, and I'm very surprised, since the can of my former coffee percolator had survived ten years without a scratch.

Luckily there are replacable parts for Moccamaster, I thought, and went to a shop, only to find out that new cans cost 20 euros. For that price you could buy a whole new percolator (not Moccamaster though), and a glass can is of course included. This really made me mad, since only justification I could imagine to the price of those cans was the supreme quality, but if they are so much better, why do they break in less than two years

Of course I bought much cheaper from second hand store, but out of principle this pisses me off.

Law school?

Yeah. I'm gonna write articles about how Lynch v. Donnelly was the correct decision and everything! Take that, <insert liberal OTer here>!

You started school already? How come? Also, I'm sorry.

I don't know why. My district is weird, we get out early and start even earlier School time got pushed forward too, so I'm going to have to wake up earlier

Your school started today!? I don't start for another month.

My sleeping schedule is completely messed up.

 

[Kozmos]

Just corrected mine actually. Fell asleep at two AM and woke up at 7 AM. That's 5 hours of quality sleep people! I feel energized!

Mine starts next Monday.

I must have incurred the wrath of the god of Tetris because he is torturing my soul in the most hideous ways.

I've noticed Civ4 has a bad habit of crashing when you're running a game larger than 2,400 k(whatevers) and on vista 32. It's very annoying, and my civ4 days are pretty much done since I don't enjoy playing civilization games that aren't excessively large and mod-excessive.

Really?

I don't really have time to play huge/long civ games in test operating systems, so never got this, but I've suspected that it might have problems.

Awesome, I've got another game to add to my list of 32-bit games that run better on Vista 64-bit.

Vista is being ********. It won't let me launch Civ3, it says I must log in with administrative privileges first. There is only one account on this computer, and it's the administrative one. Clearly, I am a fool and Microsoft is all-knowing, their interface is far more intuitive and simple than my brain could ever possibly comprehend. I am also not smart enough to appreciate the beauty of glitches.

Are you running in the actual "Administrator" account? If so, that's you're problem, create a new administrator account for normal use.

Gah...America is an irritating country. I just looked up the legal drinking age...21???? WTH....and it has weed as a class I.

Seriously something's wrong with that country. Makes me wonder why I'm going there. What the hell am I supposed to do for amusement for 3 year of uni until I turn 21?

Go to college in Canada or Burma if you detest the USA so much. Nobody if forcing you to come here for your education.
