Dear Xiu Xiu,
Your free show today where all you played were covers from Joy Division's album 'Unknown Pleasures' gets two thumbs up. Also, the girl who plays keyboard is adorably cute. cheers, Satiated fan. Dear organizers of aforementioned show, Whose fucking insane idea was it to have one line to get wristbands for beer just so you would have to wait in a different line a hundred feet away to actually buy beer? Love, Person who refrained from beer. Last edited by tomoe : 2010-07-11 at 21:57. Reason: IPhone |

Dear Assholes,
Saying "no offense" after making an extremely offensive statement does not actually guarantee that there will be no offense. It is not like tag, where simply declaring yourself "not it" is enough to make it so. Also, saying "no offense" can in and of itself cause offense, if it is hastily added to an otherwise inoffensive statement, in a way that implies that you think the offend-ee could/should have taken offense, when they actually didn't. I'm not (believe it or not!) easily offended. I visit websites just to read the uproariously offensive things stupid people say, which is amusing (well, until you realize they vote). But somehow, those split seconds where close friends and family members slip up and reveal what they actually think -- under the guise of being "inoffensive," no less -- are way worse than anything on FSTDT. (Well, except for my family members on FSTDT.) Robo and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong |

OK, that was funny.
I'm partial to "Franklin, stop that drunken tattooist!" myself. And yes, close family members of mine have actually been quoted on Fundies Say the Darndest Things. No, no links. and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong |

Dear IT Department,
Thank you for blocking me from FSTDT.net Who knows what kind of depravity awaits there? (Not me, that's for sure!*) Thanks Bryson * = Until I get home, obviously. |

Dear IT Department, (again)
If it's that big a problem, you might want to see why I can access it on the wi-fi network, just not on the cabled network. Or maybe it isn't offensive if you filter it through the air first? Cheers Bryson |

Dear Girl I Really Like and Want to Get to Know Better,
I opened up to you and you found your way outside of my front door the morning after. We had a nice conversation that ended abruptly, and since then you haven't sent or said one word to me. At the very least please tell me what you are thinking, please? A confused guy... Edit: Dear Socially Awkward Girl Who Took Two Days to Tell Me You Are Sort of Dating Someone Else, Thanks, for that. It needn't have taken so long. I wish you all the best. PS. Why am I so attracted to women like you? Last edited by billybobsky : 2010-07-15 at 18:50. |

Dear computer science researchers across the globe:
Do not, repeat NOT, use Comic Sans to present technical material. Seriously, in this field you should be smart enough to understand LaTeX. Use that knowledge. edit: I take that back. You appear to have written the presentation in LaTeX and then manually overridden the default Computer Modern font. WHY! |

Dear Bitch Who Is Trying to Get My Wife Fired,
I never met a certifiable ADHD *and* OCD patient rolled together like you before. You take the cake. I hope your boobs drop to your knees and stink bugs crawl out of your brown nose straight up the boss's anus and fall our his mouth (you're that far up there). |

Dear Chicago Transit Authority,
I want to get home. It's a modest request, and it's something that you can usually handle. But I've been stuck in this infernal underground station for the past 40 minutes with 300 others. That little 4-car train you sent ten minutes ago? Yeah, it was already full. Perhaps a quarter of the folks here made it on. I'm mad. I'm hot. And I'm tired. Do what I pay you to do, please? Much obliged, Matt PS: oh you have got to be fucking kidding me! You send my train on the wrong side of the platform? And don't give us a chance to get on? Infuriating. PPS: Good god that took forever. My normal 20-30 minute (max) commute took 1 hour and 35 minutes. If I'd have known I would have _walked_ the 5 miles to my house in that time.

Dear Senator Schumer:
As an elected representative, I would certainly hope you have better things to do with your time than to stoop to Gizmodo's level and grandstand about 'antennagate.' Seriously, cut that shit out. I highly doubt your constituents voted for you so you could debate Steve Jobs over the finer points of antenna design. -Kraetos Logic, logic, logic.

You're kidding, right? Grandstanding and preaching half-truths to the masses, whether they need to hear them or not, is what most politicians do "best". This guy just guaranteed his seat for the next election.

Dear wireless router manufacturers,
FOADIAF. I hate you all Srsly, why are wireless routers so dumb? I consider myself a reasonably tech-savvy individual but they're still a pain in the ass to set up and even when you set them up they just randomly decide to stop working for no reason whatsoever. They're a gift from Satan to make us miserable and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong |

Are you sure? I'm 90% sure that I used to do exactly that on my Express before I changed over to the Extreme.

I was thinking of using the Express in bridge mode. If you have to connect the WAN ethernet to the one ethernet port it can't be used to share the connection too at least to my knowledge.
However if Robo only needs to have his connection shared wirelessly then an Express would be good enough.

Dear Puppy Farm Owner,
You are an asshole for making a Labrador Retriever squeeze out several litters of puppies before she's 3 years old and then throwing her out onto the street when she couldn't produce any more. All to make a couple of bucks on the backs of poor defenseless animals. You, sir or madam, deserve to DIAF. On the other hand, your "trash" is our "treasure". The sweetest, cutest, most loyal dog is curled up on the couch with me chasing rabbits in her sleep. If you hadn't abandoned her when you did we wouldn't have this lovely addition to our family. I only hope that any other dogs you use, abuse and then abandon have the same happy fate as ours did. Best, Sauvblanc Specialists are people who know more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing. Generalists are people who know less and less about more and more until they know nothing about everything. I'm somewhere in the middle. |

Dear Starbucks Barista,
It isn't unreasonable to order a hot drink on a hot day. I work in an overly air-conditioned office. It is not my fault that you assumed I wanted my latte iced. Hint: the customer is not supposed to be the one who apologizes for a screwed up order, when that order was placed correctly. -- Noel |

Dear Every Republican with an email list:
Stop. Sending. Me. Email. The fact that I donated a small amount to a local congressional race ONCE does not mean I’m going to donate hundreds of dollars to races in other states every week as you come begging for more. (Especially you, Peter Schiff. Enough already.) |
