So, pissed off reptilian starfish with a hunger for long pork?

I can dig it.

No... that'd be a(n unofficial, largely unconfirmed, mostly unsubstantiated in the pics-or-it-didn't-happen sense) feature list. The mock-up bit was referring to the screenshots and various critter etc. sprites. The videos say quite a lot, but who knows what level of completeness stuff is at, currently.

Later this year would be nice. "When it's actually done" would be better :P

If the two happen to coincide, well. Happeh 2012, eh wot.

Or many of them. I'd imagine redundant hearts, probably in the lower neck (so more come in as it gains heads, but they're less vulnerable to decapitation). Then maybe a particularly strong one (or several) in the main body. Or some other means of managing a circulatory system, I guess.

That, at least, has been illustrated. Can't recall where I've seen it, though.

... think if we worked at it we could do a complete trip around the world? Get someone a bit westward that one of the historical component parts of china atrocity'd, someone a bit westward of them that said atrocity'd country atrocity'd in turn, etc.

Maybe just try to see how much of the world you could cover. It'd be an interesting and quite morbid exercise in historical research.

... iTunes, while active, runs eight different processes. When you close it, it continues to run six.

Bloat. Ware. Though I'm done, now. The ipad's been updated (and thus wiped clean, because like all sane programs* updating involves completely deleting your content! AHAHAHAHAAA) and I can happily scoure iTunes and everything apple related from this computer and wipe my hands clean of this filth. Though you do have to uninstall five different programs to get rid of everything the itunes installer shoves onto your computer. Gods only know what's been hidden up the comp's arse by whatever spyware-esq bullshit the thing pulls.

Always did wonder if I'd find an OS more annoying than windows. Welp!

*This is a blatant lie. I am now convinced these things were programed by lobotomized monkeys having their orifices violated by a roto-rooter.

Re: Nen: I wonder... does the fellow of a twirlable mustache? That's mustache twirl passive-aggressive shenanigans, I'd say. I mean... damn. At least more than a three day warning. A week? A month? Something. Not just, "Oh, day after tomorrow we're sending you to fumble in front of a major client. Enjoy!"

No clue, but probably one of the three, yeah. Likely XP or vista, I'd imagine.

You'd think so! But apparently not. I can't delete them from the iPad itself. The delete option is red and unusable. I can't delete them via iTunes when the thing is plugged in. Itunes apparently can't tell the <string of vulgarities> things are there.

I think it's some bullshit relate to syncing, I'unno. I can't seem to get rid of the music or the videos, either. Regardless, I'm sorched earthing the m'fooker and calling it done. My hindbrain is already calling out vague depredations about the thousand fornicating young feasting on the entrails of the whoreson who decided a level of obfuscation between copy and goddamn paste and delete was a good idea. Don't need to keep trying to wrestle with it at that point.

Burn it and move on, save some blood pressure. And never actually purchase an apple product in the future. I mean, I wasn't going to anyway (the next personal use machine I get will probably just run Linux, much as I'd rather not), but this kind of crap just sorta' cements things.

@Frumple
Is that with or without the current bunch of iOS to Steam releases happening? Going off of TB's recent WTF Is... videos, they haven't been terribly good but also quite a bit more expensive to boot.
Ak, I don't even bloody know. Not doing anything related to steam. Just trying to delete some damned photos and the bloody thing's giving me shit.

So I'm going to update it, wipe the whole damn thing clean, and then hopefully foist the PoS off on someone else in exchange for a device only moderately burdened by its OS. And I know exactly how to tell windows to go fornicate with goats when it starts trying to mouth off. I think the only way to get portable iOS to stfu and do what I want it to would be to jailbreak the damned thing, because whoever's leading Apple's software design team is apparently bereft of the sense the divine gave a blender humping rodent.

Current status: Somewhat annoyed!

E:Heeey. Itunes doesn't support download resuming, apparently. Pause the thing after downloading 600 megs, resume, and you get to download them all over again!

My software hate. All of it.

24685
Today, I learned that portable iOS is an obstructionist piece of shit. My personal dislike of apple software, grows. At the very least the ipads. Fucking hell, I have to plug the damn thing into my computer (and install itunes, which promptly decides to infuriate me and install four other pieces of crap bloatware without asking about it) just to delete things off of it. E: Never fucking mind! Even that doesn't work! Alright. Fuck it. Everything goes.

This thing makes me want to strangle software designers. Or whoever forced them to code this festering pile of excrement. Either/or. So, future techies? Look to apple. See how they make their portable OS. Don't fucking do that. You'll be golden.

Seriously hope the ipad for laptop swap goes through. I'm right about fed up with this thing.

Barbecues in the rain are even more awesome, because you have to build little impromptu buildings or whatever in order to keep them from soaking. Grilled food and yurts. Or whatever.

I think one of the few ways you can't cook in rainy weather is that sun-warmed rock oven thingy. Though you could probably toss a mess of rocks into a bonfire for a while and then use those...

Does... does that mean we're going to have to start upping the scale? Should we go to one in ten billion for now, or just hop straight up to a trill'?

Huuh. How does teleport/recall interact, if at all?

Does look like a proper spec'd Syndra should be able to get a buff critter across the river. It'd be expensive, though. That AoE movespeed item, stacked MS, probably Janna and a bloodboil... hell throw sivir in there. Nunu jungle, Syndra mid, sivir/janna bot. Not sure about top... probably Jayce? It wouldn't be a terrible teamcomp, I think. Ghost/flash on the syndra.

All for the express purpose of throwing a lizard at a wraith or sumtin'. Be fun :P

Hey, compared to most douchebags? He's a cut of finer cloth :P

Least he had a bit of skill at wordplay, heh.

Was a bit of of an arse at times, yeah. Gadfly of Athens, etc.

Have to hand it to the fellow, though. Higher quality of douchebag than most, and when the chips came down, he handled it with more aplomb than most would. And he had a few zingers in there. According to Plato, anyway :P
