Not really a verbatim transcript of the support request I just filed, just the way I really wanted to phrase it but did not in the interest of not appearing to be the smart-ass I truly am ( Read more... )

I thought all the loyalty program b.s. and veteran reward stuff and purchasing of pre-orders and being a subscriber for OVER FIVE YEARS was supposed to mean I'd get into the next CoH/CoV closed beta.   I'm greatly annoyed that just about EVERYONE else I know in the game right now is talking about the coolness behind the closed doors of the test ( Read more... )

Okay, srsly... utility company on the next street over running a jackhammer at 11pm... WTF is up with that?

I hate how simple things like calling to activate a replacement credit card always turn into aggravation because instead of just letting me key a few numbers on the phone, they have to transfer me to a live person for an annoying sales pitch for a protection plan or some other useless program designed to get a few bucks from me every month.  And ( Read more... )

OMFG I am sick of hearing about the Caylee Anthony stuff.  I swear, certain people in my family are more obsessed with this murder non-mystery than they were with the O.J. Simpson stuff back in the 90s.  I've gotten to hear a third-hand account of every idiot psychic, bounty hunter, and amateur investigator's theory on who did what.  I'm sorry, but ( Read more... )

DSL is dead. Long live the cable modem.

AT& T can my ass. I wish my work would ditch them for a provider that actually provides, too.

Is something clogging up the tubes of the internet tonight or is it only my ISP that's turned to crap?  Around 9:30 pm, suddenly my page load speeds turned worse than dialup... yet the speedtest the AT&T tech had me run said my throughput was at nearly 5 Mbps.  I even pulled out my older router and tried hooking that up, and no difference... still ( Read more... )
