A cat isn't a pet and doesn't deserve to be treated as one.
You get a cat when you can't have a dog and the kids left the damn hamster cage open one too many times.

Same issues with 8 from 13/14, straight from the MS forums.
Root of the problem was not making a local account.
Win 8 has you set up with a MS...
Let me just try to understand what Microsoft is paying you to say..
Is it?
1. The bug was fixed for 8.1 or 8 or both?
2. The bug never existed, therefore anyone who had to deal with it is just trying to deface Microsoft?
3. You've never dealt with it so it can't exist?
4. Win 8 bugs shall no...
Here's my deal.
I would have probably ordered a couple as gifts and one for myself, I would have assumed it was inventory reduction , something obselete aand on clearance.
Had the seller contacted me, said there was a mistake and politely asked for the items back, I would have sent them back...
What a great gesture!
As an apology to all of those who can't play online due to busted multiplayer, those that have managed to actually get online to play get free stuff!

I've had to "fix" 3 Windows 8 laptops now from family members who upgraded routers without making offline profiles for their 8 PCs, but because YOU'VE never had the problem it's complete and utter bullshit right?
I'm glad you agree with me.
You know, because since you're bright enough to set up your account as offline you don't get that problem.
Too bad about 90% of end users will think they're setting up their normal account, set up an oline account, and have issues with their laptops when they try to...
Bring back tariffs.
Jack it back up to 42% instead of the current measly 1.2% it is.
Bring back manufacturing jobs.
Lower income taxes so we can afford the things we make.
Problem is it would never work.
Big companies bribe, err, lobby politicians to keep tariffs low because labor is cheaper...
Ubuntu "just works" on my low end laptop for surfing the web, looking at photos, light Steam gaming, actually maintaining a wireless network connection....
Don't get me wrong, my main gaming rig is STILL Windows 7, Ubuntu can't touch that, but for day to day things that aren't frustrating as...
Guilty as charged.
Over 600 Steam games, over 100 GoG games and movies, over 500gb of eBooks and eComics sorted like an OCD freak.
You should actually see my physical collections when they're not packed away in totes and on shelves. They went to totes because I've been watching too many ten or...
Bought it.
Will install tomorrow, spent all day trying to NOT throw a Windows 8 laptop out the window because the wireless card keeps turning itself off, even when plugged in, with power save mode disabled, with the do not turn off box checked in device manager.
It's because Windows did suck on desktop because it forced touchscreen controls and apps by default.
Android was meant for the desktop about as much as Mint was made for a tablet. Both are Linux and both have their place. MS just screwed the pooch with 8 in a desperate attempt to make users...
Ah yes, The Atari/ ET method right?
That's just corperate greed right there.
Well, it IS a Rogan/ Franco film, burning it might just be the humanitarian thing to do.
Saying Linux is just like saying Windows, it provides a starting reference point but you're not saying which version you're talking about.
Waaayyy too many Linux distros out there which is the reason no matter how good it gets, its never going to compete with MS on the desktop.
Don't get me...
Until Rockstar releases GTA at the same time or within a timely fashion on PC after console I'm waiting for a sale. They've already made me wait damn near 2 years already, waiting longer hurts nothing, especially when it's probably going to be a half assed console port anyways.
I would have...
Yes.
Because only totally soulless bastards have the gaul to tuck their kids in at night and read them a bedtime story.
The fiends!
They need to compensate the poor content creators $100 per word or else the economy will go to hell and total anarchy will consume the last remaining truths of...
I want to know how many of the jury had new iPhones, iPads and "courtesy cellular contracts" AFTER the trial with a couple thousand dollars free in iTunes.
Bose has hands down the best noise cancelling technology out of any other speakers out there.
Bose's problem is not that they're not that good, its just everyone else finally caught up to them, you know, like Blackberry and iPhone.
You know, to me, nothing beats the sound of paper speakers...
I can only hope these chumps get permabanned from Amazon.
The seller screwed up, period.
If I accidentally sold something of mine far below what it was valued at, then that's my fault and outside of asking nicely and appealing to people's humanity I'm screwed.
We keep getting closer and closer to realizing Idiocracy as the prophetic work it was written as.
At first, I thought it was just a comedy, but now I see Mike Judge as the modern day Nostradamus he is.
There's a reason I use Calibre.
I'm blind in one eye and sometimes its just easier to listen then read since my eye gets tired after reading for about 2 hours.
Don't care.
I'll strip DRM from my ebooks without thinking twice about it, after all, you're not losing an audiobook sale if there is no...
Some of us boycott EA because of their business practices, buggy and broken games, destruction of beloved game devs, mistreating employees and same old same old year after year.
The only way things are going to change is to speak with our wallets, and if EA wants to give me something free BUT I...
Athlon XP-M 2200 Barton on an Abit NF7-S rev 2 motherboard.
Bought a huge copper cooler from the now defunct crazypc.com with a 120mm fan strapped to it and hit 2.2ghz easy on stock voltage. Used the superglue/ hairdryer/ rear window defogger repair kit method to fully unlock it. Always...
Now that would work for consoles, but no way it would ever work for a pc. I can't even begin to count how many times MS released an update that broke a game or a driver a game relied on.
If MS and Sony both put games through their own qc tests, then found a game broken or buggy, then slapped...
Devs want the penalty for copyright infringement to be as severe as if you stole a physical, tangible good. They also wish not to be held liable to lemon laws because they're producing an intangible product.
We need a line somewhere in the middle holding both devs and pirates accountable.

And just think, my idea of having fun by creeping people out all these years was finding garages and houses that had "SANTA COMES HERE" in big letters, then rearranging those letters to say "SATAN COMES HERE" instead.
Beat the hell out of toilets papering teacher's houses.
I'm all for a lemon law for software.
If we buy something and it doesn't work, you've got 3 days from activation to uninstall and go for a refund.
I'd LOVE to see it!
Ubisoft and EA would probably go under.
There is ONE CONFIGURATION for a console, so there's NO EXCUSE for a buggy and broken...
In people's defense about not fixing computers, Macs are proprietary and most laptops are a complete pain in the ass where they have to be almost completely disassembled then reassembled in an exact order where if it were a tower you could replace the part in under a minute where the laptop...
I'm still behind my original 100mbs/10mbs should be broadband and refuse to give any more tax breaks or grants to companies that fail to comply stance I've had since the begining of last year.
Too many big companies getting big handouts making record profits for providing a sub par service.
