So i guess my steam shit should be sorted out within a week, Maybe.

The bank has gone ahead and sent the money back to valve, I won't see the debits on my account since they are absorbing the cost due to them fucking up. In theory valve should see the money within the next 48 hours, So let's see how that goes.

I Guess so, Not too sure to be honest. I got a reply back from him and the nab enquiries addy i emailed sometime last week. I'm guessing the head honcho had most of the weight behind it though.

Genericized trademark. Don't think Apple would win any money but Amazon may have to tweak the name a bit. Average Joe on the street wouldn't just associate app store with Apple now with Android picking up steam. Also my Chrome browser has a tab called Apps.

It's also why Adobe don't want people using the phrase "shop" and "photoshop'd".

See: http://www.adobe.com/misc/pdfs/TM_GuideforThirdPartiesFinalPrint.pdf

Identifying the Proper Trademark Form
Always use the correct spelling and format of Adobe trademarks with the appropriate trademark symbol(s). When referring to an Adobe product, use the full name of the product at its first and most prominent mention (for example, “Adobe Photoshop” is preferred over “Photoshop”).

Never vary the spelling, add or delete hyphens (even for normal hyphenation at the end of a line of text), make one word two, or use a possessive or plural form of the trademark. Adobe trademarks must always be used as adjectives followed by a generic term (such as “software”), and never as nouns or verbs. For examples of appropriate generic terms that may be used with Adobe trademarks, see the list from the company’s
online “General Trademark Guidelines” at http://www.adobe.com/misc/agreement.html.

For example:

CORRECT: The image was modifi ed using Adobe® Photoshop® software.
INCORRECT: The image was Photoshopped.

CORRECT: You’ll appreciate the PostScript® interpreter’s unique ability to provide flexibility.
INCORRECT: You’ll appreciate PostScript’s® unique ability to provide flexibility.

lol, how the fuck does someone like Pyne get elected?

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/03/22/3170694.htm

Prime Minister Julia Gillard described Tony Abbott as a climate change denier - a frequent political barb used against the Opposition Leader.

But the Manager of Opposition Business, Christopher Pyne, took a point of order.

"I think the words being used by the Prime Minister would be regarded as offensive words," he said amid rowdy scenes.

"We all know the connotation the Prime Minister is trying to bring about by using the word 'denier'.

"We know she's trying to allude to the holocaust. It is offensive and it must stop."

I saw that live, he is quite amazing. I find it hilarious that the shadow minister for education is such a huge bully, he gets chucked out of question time at least two times a week.

Do we? Who the hell associates politicians with the holocaust? Denier is just bad English, gets used every now and then when people are in a flap.

So true. Like these cocky fucking ass holes give two shits about the planet anyway.

While mankind is all burning and dying because we fucked the earth up so much while conservative fuck wits sat on their hands and did fuck all about it, cunts like him will just "pray to god" and all will be forgiven.

I can picture that piece of shit on his knees crying to Jesus as the world fucking implodes, makes me SICK!

Fucking blind muppets.

I wouldn't be so sure about that...

Scepticism is in general, as it should be, a positive word, denoting scientific or humanistic curiosity and in particular the presence of an open mind.

Denialism, a concept that was first widely used, as far as I know, for those who claimed that the Holocaust was a fraud, is the concept I believe we should use.

Okay, I have to share this.

I return home to a pile of mail, upon which sits a parcel sent to me from the Ukraine. Its contents are no surprise - it's a vintage watch from the former USSR that got ordered not too long ago. The watch itself is nothing special, I just like to collect Russian/USSR watches. They're relatively cheap, work well and have a classic if goofy charm to them.

Anyways.

The watch (wristband not included) came wrapped in a Ukrainian newspaper. I can't read a word of it, but I've always been fascinated with the Cyrillic alphabet. Something about Russian/Eastern Bloc culture that seems reasonably familiar but is wholly alien and bizarre at the same time, what with their crazy back to front letters and everything.

It's nothing groundbreaking, but the newspaper used to protect my new timepiece is obviously the TV guide section with a few cartoons peppered throughout. The cartoon makes absolutely no sense and the rest of the document, foreign language notwithstanding, is just an everyday collection of crosswords, find-a-words and pictures of western celebrities. I'm utterly engrossed by this crazy newspaper. It will get thrown out
eventually
, but it's a souvenir from a world I'll never know.

I think that's a pretty cool watch there man. Simple but elegant.

As for the cartoon, it's got me intrigued as to what it's about.

Fascinating post, that. Gotta say, I'm somewhat intrigued by your fascination of Russian watches. Are they cheap?

PS. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-nviaWnxwo]Totally got this vibe from that cartoon[/url].

Finished Dragonage 2.

It was fun.

The battles with
The high dragon
were the hardest and most thought provoking. While the battles
at the end of the game weren't that hard, IMO.
But then i had a lot of damage dealing in my party, and wasted them down fairly quickly

something is most definately going around....

also what, apple dropped prices? !


why 5pm. I mean what the fuck. I aint buying one and am not fussed but they are already out in the US, why the heck make it 5pm just to be difficult

so whilst people are trying to get home from Sydney, there will be a stupid long queue on george street just to piss everyone off

bet the council and cops aren't exactly pleased. It also opens it up for more people to yell 'fucking nerds' etc as they walk past to go home :p
