Ninja USPS employees... I walked to the back of the house for like two minutes and they swung by and left 'we missed you' notes on a couple packages I have been expecting.

KDE... all I have to say, really. :rolleyes:

Plumbing. I am going to have to rent a 100ft snake to clean out my main sewer line. It is neither pretty, convenient, nor fun. Frankly, I rather use KDE than do this, but at least I can wash the nasty off of me after I finish with the sewer.


Yes, I am sure KDE is awesome for some people... not for me. This is my rant and you can't change my mind. :p
 
Bureaucratic bungling. DH's UI claim is being held up until they can talk to him about info they claim to still need that they got when the claim application was submitted. He has a phone interview scheduled for July 3. (grumble)

We did find a way to send that info by e-mail, but who knows if it'll even be acknowledged, let alone acted on before that phone call. (sigh)

Hmmm ... are you programmer?

Yes I think you are!

Do you like to make viruses? :)

It is actually very fun!

I have an extra and ancient pc from the 1500's that I like to screw up for fun! :D

Wow it is amazing how much stuff you can break hey!

Wow I am not surpirsed there are lots and lots of viruses out there! :)

I wonder why there are like - 7 for linux though? :confused:

Never understood it... :)

Me == Low IQ :D
 
Cell phones. Specifically the lack of common sense and courtesy that seemingly follows them. Idiots texting while driving and complaining about the other drivers when they wreck or complaining about tickets when they run a red light, middle of a movie when someone's phone rings with an "important" call about their hair appointment, middle of a nice dinner and someone at the next table decides to share the rudest YouTube video they've ever heard and, of course, God forbid someone miss a Facebook update...

...and to think the FAA wants to ALLOW cell phones on planes?!? Can you imagine 150+ people all talking in a flying sardine can??

Courtesy, specifically in regards to cell phone usage, is completely gone.
 
I actually answered that question earlier today, Stinky, so I am going to cheat and copy over what I said in that other forum:

KDE has changed so much over the past decade... when I first tried it, it was too... alien, I guess the word is. I was a Windows user, and a Command-Line jockey-- I used several mainframe OSes for work and such, and KDE was far from intuitive for me. While the fact was that you could get the basic menu in several different ways, it felt awkward, and I couldn't find certain things without a fair time searching.

Now, it is immensely more complex. There are lots of powerful things one can do with KDE, I acknowledge that, but it still feels alien to me. I can't find a command-line interface. In the Gnome variants, it's easily accessible under Terminal.

You can have different desktops in KDE, which is something I really wish I could get in Unity, Gnome, or Cinnamon. But you can also have different workspaces, which is a nice feature, it seems, if only I could get a handle on how to properly implement them. But... why both multiple desktops and multiple workspaces? Should it not be one or the other?


Bottom line is, I am very used to Ubuntu's Unity environment right now, but it is changing in ways I don't appreciate. I miss the flexibility we had with Gnome 2 and compiz, I want different workspaces like you can get in KDE, and I have neither the time nor programming chops to build something that does all that for myself. It is frustrating because by nature, I am a mechanic, and I've spent quite a bit of time hacking little changes into things to accomplish my own wants and needs, but this is more than changing the appearance of a few windows, making a more natural (God no, not the white!) color scheme, or implementing a local weblog. I am looking for a Frankenstein's monster of an OS that does everything good without sacrifices...

I have gotten flack for using mine as a PDA. I had one rep tell me I HAD to answer the phone. Someone might need help.

That someone should try 911 or have some emergency connections. I doubt if a call originating or spoofed from another state has an emergency.

I use ringtones to identify family that I will answer immediately. I have a different ringtone for businesses. I look at the number before bothering to answer. A doctor's office might get answered immediately. Anyone else can wait.

So according to all information gatherers - I'm doing it wrong.

That's just asinine... the smart phone was designed, at least in part, as a substitute for the PDA. That's what I use mine for; because it is much more powerful and flexible than my PDA was.

As for phone calls... well, I don't use ringtones at all. I have the phone set to vibrate all; that way, if I am in a meeting, or involved in an important conversation, I am free to ignore any incoming calls and can check the logs later at my convenience and leisure.

If it is buzzing and I can answer, I also check the number before doing so-- theoretically, there is only a handful of people who have my number, but I do get oddball callers at times, and such.
 
Indian and Nigerian touts at the bottom end of Nathan Road, Hong Kong, particularly around ChungKing Mansions. I just think and I'm attempted to shout back at them "I don't want a bloody suit or a copy Rolex!!"
 
@ Dangerous One yeah I freaking HATE that scatter brain UNITY! :mad:

ugh!

That is was the WHOLE reason I went to KDE but I really miss gnome :(

I miss gnome big time but that is just me I guess.

The default Samsung Galaxy notifications whistling sound. I'm hearing it all the time now. I can imitate it almost perfectly, and then look around to see who's checking their phones. :D I suppose there is a good side to it, Samsungs are now the must have phones here in China.
