Stupidity

admin — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 08:18:30 +0000

We all need to understand that stupidity is real and must be taken seriously. You could be sitting next to a stupid person right now. There is still no known cure for stupidity, and sympathy does not help. Sometimes a length of 2×4 to the back of the head helps, but not a lot. But we can raise awareness!

This case is a frightening example of what can happen when someone encounters ignorant bullies with badges. According to the complaint filed in a US Federal Court.

Epic Fail.

Site not loading, or failing to find any postcode, town or city. HTML validation errors. I guess they were on a tight budget now that the coalition has laid waste to their funding.

Embarrassing for the retarded developer Rock Kitchen Harris.

Mind you for the £300,000 it apparently cost then I guess they can sit in the south of France sipping a cool one feeling as red-faced as they like.

DVD Annoyance

Yo, ho ho and a bottle of rum. Those pirates sure have it easy.

You know how it is – before your movie, there are 3 or 4 previews, commercials, ads for Blu-ray, and government warnings that can take forever to get through. And some DVDs even prevent you from skipping the previews, even if you press the Menu button.

UPDATE:

Here’s a remote-control trick to skip past those annoying ads: simply press the Stop button twice, and then Play. So, Stop, Stop, Play.

This trick should work on any DVD player, and hopefully it will keep you from wasting your time watching previews you don’t wish to watch.
