Writing Microsoft angry letters because I lost my disk wouldn't make much sense. You also should know that mac/Linux aren't an option for me. I only even care about Windows 7 because it supports my SSD better. OSX/Linux don't.
If I don't find the disk, I'll just end up building a new computer in a few years and running Windows 8. As long as it doesn't totally piss me off and push me to forsake computers entirely.
And then they sue you for breaking their window.
And then you sue the Baseball Bat company for selling you a product that's so good at breaking Windows.
And then the Baseball Bat company sues the Windows company for not making Windows plate glass.
And then the Windows company sues the makers of Windows for inappropriately placing the Windows (IE: In places where it's possible to break them), and once again for stealing their company name to use as the name for their software.
And then Microsoft sues the Baseball Bat company for breaking a perfectly good computer, announces to the public that work on "Windows: Plate Glass" will begin immediately, and, being fed up with all the damn Suits, just buys the world and makes it illegal to be a lawyer, thus causing both the clothing variety and the legal variety of Suits to no longer exist.
wtf Nintendo DSi is region locked? I just bought a DSi in Hong Kong yesterday, but I was sorely disappointed to find out that it did not recognize my Japanese copy of Pokemon White. It recognizes my US copy of Pokemon Soul Silver though. But the thing is a European copy apparently, since the location settings only let me pick places in Europe.
I have to figure out how to unlock all regions on my DSi. It's going to be a pain in the ass.
Won't an Action Replay unregion lock it? Granted you have to boot it with the AR every time, but still. Probably also have to ship it in, which could be expensive and will certainly take a while. Hmm... that is pretty irritating.
No, I only have one DS, and that's the Lite. My old DS 1.0 died in a hurricane in Japan. But the current DS is over 4 years old with a battery that does not hold a charge like it used to. So I wanted an upgrade.
So it turns out that the region lock is kind of weird. DSi software will be region locked, but some DS games are only region locked on the DSi, like Pokemon White and Black. So it will play on an American or European DS, but not on a DSi. On the plus side, my other Japanese games will still play. It's just... weird. Why pokemon?
Probably because of the special downloads and its interaction with the online dream world. They either need to send your pokemon to a different regional specific dream world or allow you to access the dream world in several different languages. And there are no hurricanes in Japan, they have typhoons.
DES MOINES, Iowa -- Iowa voters have voted to remove three state Supreme Court justices, siding with conservatives angered by a ruling that allowed gay marriage.
The vote Tuesday was the first time Iowa voters have removed a Supreme Court justice since the current system began in 1962.
The three who weren't retained were Chief Justice Marsha Ternus and justices David Baker and Michael Streit. They were the only justices up for retention this year.
They were on the court of seven justices who unanimously decided last year that an Iowa law restricting marriage to one man and one woman violated the state's constitution.
Gay marriage opponents spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on the campaign. A group of former governors, lawyers and judges said the justices' removal would threaten Iowa's independent judiciary.
I had a test yesterday. That's not so bad, but I was not yet ready for it, forcing me to stay up until 4 (and get up at 7) to study for it. I was already exhausted from having to do the exact same thing for a test on Tuesday and was catching a cold.
As a result of my studying the night before, I hadn't had time to take the mandatory pre-lab quiz for yesterday's all-afternoon lab class, so I took that during lunch (without studying, as I did not have time). I barely had enough time to shovel down a few mouthfuls of food at the dining hall. This may not seem like much. "Oh, he had to eat a light meal. So tragic. Boo, sarcastic, hoo." But let me remind you that I have hypoglycemia. I have a medical need to eat on a regular basis.
Well at the lab, I found out that my lab group was behind on a paper that was due that day at 8pm. Once we got out of lab, we spent the entirety of the remaining time on it.
So there I was at 7:45, typing away, suffering from fatigue, blood sugar that had long since bottomed out (to the point where I was unable to form a sentence without stuttering terribly), and a cold that was rapidly getting worse. All the while it was gnawing at my semi-conscious mind that in just a few minutes, not only was the paper due, but the dining hall would close.
I'd like to thank my biology teacher for the trimester final he gave us. It had exactly 2 questions on topics we'd covered. The other 78 questions had to do with topics we'd never heard of. He can go die.
Strange, apparently neither did the class syllabus or calender. The subjects on the final are all slated to be taught next tri. A lot of people who've taken his class have told me that he enjoys giving you finals on subjects you haven't learned yet, so I am inclined to believe that its not just me. I'd be fine if he graded on a curve, but alas, he does not. Grr.
I hate powerpoints. I hate designing them, I hate editing them, I hate trying to organize them in a way to hold the incredibly short attention span of a couple hundred delegates at a conference.
It's ridiculous. Making a good powerpoint is essentially an exercise in refraining from using most of the functionalities in the software.

Mario and Iggy not seen this yet?
Have you tried doing a system restore on your current install?
Or, in all seriousness, this maybe one of those moral situations where you can justify pirating a windows 7 disc.
If I don't find the disk, I'll just end up building a new computer in a few years and running Windows 8. As long as it doesn't totally piss me off and push me to forsake computers entirely.
It's the American way.

3 Iowa justices removed after gay marriage ruling
This has filled me with rage, as it beats the shit out of anything I have been able to grow! :hulk:

So, yeah. I now know what hell feels like.
Seriously, look into how to work the system.
Life is hard.
Makes me tired.
