Speed regulators. This can be done in many ways but specifically pissing me off these days are those a$$holes who drive slower than the speed limit in the far left lane but do NOT pass the cars on the right... creating a wall of cars, which perpetuates back-up and driver road-rage. Get the F over!!! These retards (musical slow down) are not helping traffic safety because once people get around them, the pissed off people only speed even more to make up for them. They are a morons and I hope they burn on a pyre.

Epic Durahan Fail! So I ordered my new camera, and guess what!? Best Buy sends me some coupons for like 12% off certain items in the store...I could've gotten the camera for about $30 cheaper. Now I'm thinking about picking up the other camera as a small sidekick since the other one is almost a DSLR.

It was delivered earlier today, so I will pick it up from my UPS Box after work since it is so hot outside. Dont want to leave electronics in 90 Degree car for 2 hours lol.

This is the runner up that I still might get

I'm still shocked that I haven't spent money on an iPad yet.

Yeah, I'm waiting to see what the next version will look like. If they handle ipads the way they handle the ipod touch, there will probably be a new version by next September.

Ipads are dope, I don't know what all the hate is for. Although I am holding off on getting one since I just bought a new laptop, I will be looking at getting one in the near future.

CollegeHumor - Funny Videos, Funny Pictures, Funny Links! and search "Ipad"

They certainly are quite a well built piece of technology... usefulness be damned.

I just think they are a more portable version of a lap top. I kinda want one so I don't have to carry my lap top all over the place. Its gotta be light as hell too.

In the same way that a cell phone is a more portable version of a fax machine, sure.

A netbook or UMPC are both more portable versions of laptops. An iPad is a less portable version of a iPod Touch.

If you got the materials I can probably make you the Hellfire Sword too.

Tech Support Drones. You know the people... you call Tech Support for virtually anything, and you get somebody who doesn't know:
1) The product they sold you
2) The problem you're having with the product they sold you
3) How to solve the problem with the product they sold you

It's those people who don't know very much about technology, and follow a list of "Here's what to do" (either because they don't know any other way or the company is forcing them to). I can understand if an employee has to follow a short list of troubleshooting activities before anything else because a company mandates it. I respectively disagree with companies that have this policy, but I can understand it and give leniency to those who have to follow it.

But seriously, if you read me the same points over and over, backtracking and covering the same point 2-3 times in the same support call when I have told you I have done that several times before calling you, it doesn't give much confidence in your product or your customer support.

Maybe it's just me, but if I go into a job, I want to know as much about that job as I can; this includes the product and the industry. If I get into a customer support role for AT&T DSL, I would want to know as much about networking and computer technology as possible. I'm not saying you should go out and get a PhD in Information Technology with an emphasis on Networking, but know that when I say "according to it's internal web page, the modem isn't discovering the DSL link", it's safe to assume I have gone through and restarted the system, checked the line and ensured there's no interference. I don't need to know that I have to do that 5 times during the conversation.

I need a new power cable for my laptop, and when I went to Best Buy, I found that power cables are eighty fucking dollars. Holy shit, that is a lot of fucking money for a power cable.
