Oh yeah - they've just released an uber portable speaker for phones now too (well, I'm sure there were ones before too). Thanks guys!

In all seriousness, I don't agree that the Nazi Germany comparison was inappropriate. Giving the executive an override option upon the judiciary basically kills off judicial independence, the lack of which was a hallmark of the Nazi regime.

Seriously, fuck the Marceaus, fuck McVicar, and fuck all their idiotic supporters. They can all fucking choke to death.

RAH! They deserve to be out of a job

Went round to the mail room, door open, no one there. Tempted to help myself to some shit. Went round later, said "I'm picking up a package for [ccs]"
"Who?"
[name]
"Who's that?"
*sigh*
"That's me"

Fucks sake, I want my shit. Do you not keep track of the stuff that is in your mail room? Oh wait, you don't because you haven't even emailed me! The woman is like "There's some packages over there, some over there..."
Oh shit, I'll just help myself eh? Didn't have to show my ID or anything, she didn't make sure I wasn't taking something belonging to somebody else. Honestly, doesn't this woman realise that when the mail room signs for something that they're responsible for it if it goes missing?! WHAT IN THE FUCKING FUCK?!

Godwin's law speaks to the likelihood of a Nazi Germany reference occurring in a discussion, it doesn't say anything about whether or not a point is made.

Nope, the only option was Cash. In the end I just told him to stop wasting my time.

Agree about the "fuck off". That was a shot accross the bows if ever I saw one.

- but nope, don't know / can't remeber about TVNZ/Telecom job losees.

Well you know how they used to have those awesome ads featuring that dog, Spot?

They killed Spot. Just to send a message.

Whaddya think of that Grandma?!

StN · 2nd March 2012, 09:21

But Spot did come back in a Vodaphone ad about the interwebs on your phone, bringing the newspaper to someones door. Even had a halo.

smudge · 2nd March 2012, 09:41

Sample code from the BNZ buyline+ payment gateway java programmers guide for issuing a refund for a credit card payment:

Code:

if (args.length > 4) {
  // If card details are present, put them into the bundle
  webpay.put( "CARDDATA", args[3] );
  webpay.put( "CARDEXPIRYDATE", args[4] );
}else{
  // Else get the card details from wherever they have been stored...
  webpay.put( "CARDDATA", MyDatabaseConnection.getFromDatabase( originalTxnreference, "CARDDATA" ) );
  webpay.put( "CARDEXPIRYDATE", MyDatabaseConnection.getFromDatabase( originalTxnreference, "CARDEXPIRYDATE" ) );
}

So if we don't have the credit card number because it's a week after the original transaction, we need to load it from the database.... ok.

crocos · 2nd March 2012, 10:54

Just quietly, I'm glad I'm not involved with that system.

Fuck, why is it so hard to find a gas stay to stop my toy box lid from slamming onto my kids fingers?

Sure there is plenty of hinge stuff at Bunnings/Mitre 10, but nothing that stops a toy box lid from slamming.

Sure, I get heaps of hits on google, but only for shipping to the states.

FUUUUAAAARK.

CCS · 3rd March 2012, 21:29

Maybe the problem is that your kid is a retard? Maybe teach the kid to raise the lid all the way. Or maybe the box is completely inappropriate? Which would make you the retard.

BTW, if you searched the correct term you'd find some products like you describe on trademe. But... I dunno. You're a retard after all.

I misread the SDCC email and thought ticket sales were 8pm PST instead of 8am PST so I totally missed out! hopefully I can get on some failed transaction sales but I'm not hopeful D:

Oh, bugger! I got up at 5am this morning in order to get mine. Managed to sneak in in the first 700 block at number 644. They were processing 700 per min.

I went back in the queue after I bought mine, literally 3 mins after 5am and it was up to 17,500.

Amazing the servers could even handle it.

Juliette Lewis grinds my gears. I can't stand her. Everything about her is annoying. I'd like it if she died in a violent fashion but it would be enough if she never acted again and retired completely from the public eye.

Noooo, not Mallory Knox! She was so good in Natural Born Killers. Granted I can't recall a single thing thing she's been in since, but that movie gets her a lifetime pass IMO.
<edit>imdb says she was also in From Dusk Till Dawn, do that's two lifetime pass movies.(and I haven't seen anything she's been in since, except Darwin Awards, and the only people I actually remember being in that where the myth busters.

StN · 5th March 2012, 11:54

^^^ are you forgetting that between NBK and Dusk, there were some Strange Days?

fidgit · 5th March 2012, 12:12

Indeed I missed that. So really, she could have stopped in the late 90's and been remembered as great, with a bunch of "I wonder how great she could have been" potential. Kind of like how the Wachowskis only ever made that one Matrix movie. Or the Terminator franchise stopped in 1991.

I like her in certain roles and feel indifferent to her outside those roles. I wouldn't call myself a fan, because in some contexts she irritates me. The Adele chick in Kalifornia was a favourite.

I didn't even need to get past the second paragraph, because I already knew exactly what Laws would say, because it's the truth. He's not particularly tactful about how he says it though. Is that what you didn't like?

Pointing out the obvious isn't particularly remarkable, most people with substandard intelligence could make the same observations (and often do). I think what frustrates people is that is all he is doing - he doesn't say anything which isn't already obvious and draws a paycheck for doing so without offering any sort of realistic solutions or anything constructive.
