Comment About time (Score 2) 87

I've been taking aspirin after a couple of strokes about 10 years ago. In the last 3 years, compounded with a deviated septum, I've been having increasingly critical nose bleeds. Impacts my life in every way possible. After 3 ENTs told me, "You're SOL. Can't do anything for you", I stopped the thinners 3 months ago. No more bleeds. I can work out again. I can walk on the street without my nose exploding. Eat in a restaurant. Have a beer with a friend in public. I can't tell you what a difference it makes. My doctor? She dismissed me as a patient for not following her treatment recommendations.

You can call yourself the Right Hand of All the Forgotten Gods for all I care. You ceased being relevant after all the shit you've pulled finally came to light publicly. Now you're just a cautionary tale, and a distraction. In fact, I regret the time I wasted writing this.

Oh well... 90 seconds I'll never get back. And never miss.

Comment Why?! Why would you bother? (Score 1) 107

Come on. I knew before I tried it that the results would be abysmal. Any moron can do better with a mouse and Gimp. Why would you bother posting such a story, with such ambivalent, destructive results to the processing of the image? I'm sure there are idiots out there that would use it. Darwinism wins again.

Non-story? Bullshit! I'm a freelance composer myself. If Apple uploaded files from my computer (forget about deleting them!), and tried to resell them to me -- and to others! -- I'd sue their asses into the twenty-second century! Man, I'm usually pretty restrained and laid-back in my posts, but this really pisses me off. I hope someone out there is following up with a lawsuit if this happened to them.

Ah... anonymous, yes. Cowardly? Yo mama!

Seriously... my facebook avatar is the standard anonymous user... with a goatee added for "veracity". I won't even go into details about the crap I've had to put up with from LinkedIn about the fact that my photograph isn't a real one. They've deleted it so many times it's a chore re-upping it in and of itself, but worth it.
