Eeyore was the only one in the entire Hundred Acre Wood who ever seemed like he had a damn bit of sense.

There's another important step in dealing with "negative people": Stop assuming they're being negative.

You can, but then You Too would sound like a Marketroid Troll spewing precision-engineered Buzzwords.

There's {warm|cold} air spewing out of my eyes! My EYES!

I'm going to have nightmares about that gearshift, now. *shudder*

I wonder if Dolphin's Add-On functionality is robust enough to support moving tabs back to the top? If so, I expect it won't take but a couple of weeks until such an add-on exists.

I just figured "CClearner" was a shady, low-rent knockoff of CCleaner. Like those "DURASELL" batteries you can buy on the street in my neighborhood.

*nod* Understood. I'm just so totally not a gamer. I think the last, and most advanced/system-taxing, game I tried to run was the Tales of Monkey Island playable preview.

Huh! Neat. I guess I'll have to consider unloading mine on a gamer one day for a little scratch, next time I'm ready to upgrade to something better! "Yeah, that's right, a genuine VH236H — that's right, from Asus — just like the ones you've always read about online! Hurry, n00bs and pwners, this choice piece of…

Now, that's how it's done! \o/

I dunno; I have a VH236H I bought because it was cheap (< $180 back in early 2010, IIRC — yay buy.com!), not because it was good. It's a serviceable "budget" monitor, and one I'm quite happy with considering my limited needs and how little I paid, but it's never struck me as anything to write home about.

Not one of these replies talked to @My Little Metroid like he/she's stupid. @KotakuTroll came closest, soooorta, but really a very poor showing — especially considering the username. I'd have expected a much higher level of condescension. Yer lettin' me down, Kotaku!

I'm sure it makes me an unenlightened heathen, or at the very least a relic of a bygone age when people simply didn't know any better... But I muzt admit zat to me, "ze" juzt zoundz ztupid. (Zis "hen" zillinez az vell, zadly.)

Here's what you do: Pencil a nice, professional looking numeral "1" on the side of your white pumpkin albatross, find a little can of orange paint and a smallish brush, and voila: paint-by-number soup tureen kit! Gift to somebody you know who likes "projects". (Or who spends their time doing court-ordered occupational…

If the Olsen Twins ran the country, all elections would be decided by pillow fight. It would be a glorious thing.

If the desk is actually hollow (enough), toggle bolts work wonders. I discovered this when I finally got fed up with the towel rod in my bathroom loosening, bored out the screwholes in the hollow door, and shoved a couple of modified (had to shorten the bolts slightly) toggles through. I may have to tighten it up…

If you did what the photographer did with the iPhone 5, with the 4 (get down lower, and shoot at a more vertical angle towards the sung), you'll get the same flare from the 4. I guarantee it.

I know! I've always felt like using zip-ties on cables is a rookie mistake that everybody makes once, then quickly realizes they never, ever want to do again.
