I would love one of the old Nokia immortal stick phones, unfortunately I have Red Checkmark and it has the wrong phone service typeI loved my old Treo before they changed to the type that required the data plan.
I just wish they would stop "improving" things that didn't need improving, and forcing it down my throat.EVE Online: 99% of the time you sit around waiting for something to happen, but that 1% of action is what hooks people like crack, you don't get interviewed by the BBC for a WoW raid.

Quoth CrazedClerkthe2nd View PostBut "they" told me...
I don't know who this mysterious "they" are but apparently they are some shadowy group that only exist to make outrageous promises to our customers without leaving any record behind apparently as a means of playing some kind of sick joke on us.
Couple sits down at the bar, just a few feet from the hostess stand.
WOMAN: "Hostess told us that we could get a Bloody Mary as a well drink."
ME: "I'm sorry that she told you that, but that is incorrect."
HOSTESS: (having overheard all of this, decides to interject) "Actually, what I said was I wasn't sure, and that you should ask Jester."
ME: "Sorry about the confusion."
WOMAN: "Well, at a lot of other places, a Bloody Mary is considered a well drink."
ME: "Yes, it is. But here it is not. I don't make the rules, folks. I just know them."
And at that, the couple decides to go somewhere else. Where else? Don't know. Don't care. Fuck those cheap bastards.
And they were cheaper than the above makes it sound. Because the above makes it sound like they were trying to get a Bloody Mary at the price of a well drink (not gonna happen) or as part of our happy hour special that has half price well drinks (also not gonna happen, as our happy hour is only Monday-Friday this time of year). But know, they were trying to get a Bloody Mary as the four dollar drink special we have on weekends. Which is not a well drink, but a particular and very specific cocktail that the bartenders decide on at the beginning of the day.
Quoth mysticgirl5 View PostAh, the dreaded 'this is ridiculous!' I never knew before I worked in tech support that this phrase is the battle cry of the entitled.
Ridiculous is a person dressed in a pink elephant costume with a rainbow wig and a striped tutu hopping around on a pogo stick offering people free readings of Tolstoy in Pig Latin while accompanied by a backup band of kazoo-playing nuns on roller blades.

Quoth Jester View PostI don't think these people truly understand what the word ridiculous actually means. Having a piece of technology crap out on you and not getting a free replacement is not an example of ridiculous, but of inconvenient. Perhaps annoying. Maybe even aggravating. But not ridiculous.

But you're right. SCs just don't have any sense of proportion. Everything less-than-wonderful that happens to them is a big, huge, earth-shattering tragedy.
I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

Quoth Geek King View PostKeep in mind the S/NES had almost no moving parts. Its the mechanicals that get you ;P
Also, I wouldn't want to see the size of the cart it would take to get a Bluray game on.

Quoth otakuneko View PostYou'll pay full price for your phone that way, but flip phones are generally a hundred bucks or less these days.
Figure on a 2 year contract, if the phone was say $99, but cost of service is double that, or even more, as it was when I gave the red checkmark the boot, current $60 a month, plus $99 for the phone, just over $1500 for 2 years. Or, at the higher previous rate of $100 a month, cost for 2 years would have been about $2500. I like to check out what they offer every now and again, but always realize I still get a better deal with what I have.
ALhtough I barely use my phone. I consider it an annoying necessity.
