Meanwhile I sit here with my 4S as it slows down due to shitty battery life and just plain old Apple manufacturing. Choco I'd gladly send this to you out of contract if I wouldn't get eviscerated by parents.
What's in your hand, back at me. I have it, it's an oyster with two figures of your favorite Touhou characters. Look again, the figures are now vials of the Hourai Elixir. Anything is possible when your waifu smells like Old World and not a man. I'm a frog.

@Cockle: That sucks :[

Also, it's nice to see some activity here again; after being the only person to post at all in 24 hours ^_^;

Sounds like I might be getting an Android smartphone soon. Right now we're paying ~$50usd a month for voice service only, and for about $10 more a month I could get a 2gb/month data plan.

On one hand, I'd like to get a new phone, but on the other, I feel like it's a betrayal of my old one. I've had it for over six years and it's never had any major problems. ;^; But at this point I'm paying way too much for a phone that does little beyond sending and receiving calls/texts...

I am posting right now from my new samsung SII

It was included at zero extra fee in my voice/data contract. It included also 2GB per month. If only I had made the contract one week after I purchased this one then I could had choosen Galaxy SIII with 0 euro extra fee... :(

That sounds awesome ^_^

So, although a Cyrix 486 slipped through my hands this morning (The lady running the sale somehow thought this ancient, generic IBM clone was equal in value to Asagi, and refused to go lower on the price >_<; ), I did at least obtain 16MB of RAM that's compatible with Penti-chan and the Yeti :3

Oh yeah, and my Amiga power supply will be in on Monday

i reccomend going back and haggling on it. never hurts to haggle. >>;;

@raffaele: isn't all technology like that? when i got my ipod (nano 4th gen), the new one came out a couple months later. same goes when my sister got her iphone. >>;

@cockle: but then what would you do for a phone? :[

I already tried haggling. I offered what I felt was a fair price, and the lady said very rudely "For that much I may as well donate it to the Girl Scouts" (Failing to realize we're talking about a desktop nearly as old as me; I'm like one of maybe 2 people in this town that'd want it).

Chocofreak13

maybe come in when someone else is working and try again, mentioning that they're not going to sell it to anyone outside of you unless they put it on ebay. :\

nope. i was not buying a new smartphone.

I got samsung sii with my phone plan:

400 mins/month and 2 gb data for 25 euro excluding tax.

To obtain samsung siii I must had anticipated 69 euro.

Just one week after I subscribed my mobile phobe plan galaxy siii was offered with the same phone plan at no extra fee...

This was odd as the reseller of the mobile phone provider could had adviced me.

Usually reseller advice new customer to postpone the new voice phone contract to obtain more benefits with the new incoming phone plan offer

I usually don't complain about matters in the image gallery, but holy crap, what's up with the influx of double- and triple-uploaded images in the Mac gallery?

Does nobody check to see if they're duplicating images before uploading them?

Nichi

All of the galleries are like that; it's just more noticeable on the Mac gallery because so few pics exist >_>;;

This is why Pit's trying to find a solution to the whole "gallery moderator" issue

Bella

But, dude, you and K are uploading things that are already on the front page.

Chocofreak13

i beg your pardon, i search for images that i KNOW do not exist in our galleries (which usually contains images that most others are too squeamish to post). with that in mind, there are always going to be doubles, and while it's a problem, it's not one worth getting huffy about. the older pics could have been uploaded when the gallery for them didn't exist, and then someone else comes along, browses the newly created gallery, and uploads the pic because it's not there. i've done this for the -kun galleries on occasion because the pics in question were in the "other" gallery (or the gallery for the -tan of the operating system) and i didn't know how to contact the original uploader.

that said, if people would be more vocal about when they upload things, maybe these problems wouldn't happen. >:[
