The Vent and Rant Thread

[Dylrob]

I can't log into YouTube without linking my account to a gmail account? WTF! Why? To make it easier for them to mine personal information out of me for their ad service?!

[nohmi2]

I am a new user to GMail, and I have no idea whether it's me (must be) but it

isn't quite as easy as they make out.

Cheers

Yeah, got the same sh*t yesterday. "Improved security" it says.
Well, more Dailymotion I say, youtube had me pissed off by the damn, stupid and pointless restrictions anyway, so I am switching my active video watching for all I can to other sites.

@Betty, heal fast and scarless! Or with a cool scar - your choice

[wyndslash]

hmm...all this websites with facebook connect, gmail account thingy whatever is making it easier for identity thefts. once they got your fb, they got everything else.

Kenny, you caved! (I looked at your device list...) Tell us all about it!

yes I did. Worse then waterboarding I tell you! Check the Android forum for initial impressions. I'm very taken with it...but there are a few warts.

Same for me, I hope everyone that is not well gets well, and that everyone that is well stays well.

Aren't new mattresses awesome!!! You can't wait to get home and try it out, even end up going to bed early that night!!

okay. here goes the rant.

the people next door are the rightful owners of a number of karaoke discs of all kinds of scraps. They sing and sing and sing for like, 9 to 5?? and have I mentioned that they have night shift, too? I never enjoy hearing bad voice speaking, leave alone horrible voice singing and the songs! they are cheap and awfully sung >"< I cannot even get my mind function

I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight

Well there is always wyndslash's solution and get a new mattress, although that can be expensive, maybe a good set of noise canceling headphones?

I so want a droid, but really have no use for one, but I want one, want one, want one.... Maybe I can think of a use by the time our current plans expires in August...

@ beppe: thanks to your waves, I'm in the half-sleep state all the afternoon and evening (yawningggggg)

@ dsvick: to ignore the horrible sound from the nice neighbors, and to stay awake despite beppe's waves, I set iPod volume to the highest point.

Yeah I got a very nice karma because of those waves. Let me share it
No way, it says that I have to spread it around for a while

I think Vietnam may have the same issue as most Asian countries I have been in, there are too many people for the few available flats not to mention rent is insane when compared to wages.

Here it is very popular to rent a room, the master bedroom being the most expensive, you can pay up to $300USD for that room, if it has an attached bath, in the right area of town. If you are willing to live 30 -90 minutes from the city center where most people work, you can cut the rent down to $50 - 100 USD.

You've been generous with me, beppe. As a Baileys lover I don't deserve it.

I use a room in his house, and my landlord suffers, too.

it is true. But it doesn't exactly apply to this case of mine, because... (read below)

yes! Of course we can. Our horrible singers were once the nuisance of the whole alley, and they were reported to the local police. They made them shut their mouths up for several months, and... here it goes again! I determined to knock knock at their house and ask them to shut up, but my landlord told me it wasn't a bright idea 'cause our singers are, er, ruffian. One of them is alcoholic and spend all his time playing cards, losing, drinking and singing horrible songs with his horrible voice. He does anything: what if he hits me if I piss him off? There, my landlord has a point.

time to get the police involved again
