  • Who is the asinine brain donor at yahoo, that dropped the "View as desktop" option from m.yahoo.com?

    I am a long time Yahoo user. I have also used a 4G internet provider for several years as my primary home ISP. The problem is, that when ever I clear my private data, (which I do on a regular basis), the next time I access Yahoo, it detects the wireless connection, ASSumes I'm using s mobile device in portrait mode and redirects me to m.yahoo.com.

    In the past, I could always scroll to the bottom of the page, click a link that would set a cookie which would force desktop mode, but this morning, that link is not there. There is, however a help link which takes me to a FAQ page apparently compiled by a bunch of out-of-touch staffers who seem to think that yahoo users are a bunch of 5 year olds with precocious keyboarding skills. By the way, your spell check is flagging every word I type as a spelling error.

    Anyhow, it appears that since inking a deal with SATAN,, oops, I meant Microsoft, your company seems to have adopted the MS idealogy where users are an asset to be exploited, sheeple to be lead to the chute to be sheared and then slaughtered, a recourse to be mined out, used up and then tossed aside.

    I ald noted the "Powered by Bing" bug and understood. In my opinion, Bing is, at nest an over hyped mediocre search engine, and at worst a payola driven advertising venue, but thats my take.

    To call those who embrace the corporate cultural ideology What I think of them would get this post LCS'd, and since they revel, even take pride in their illegitimacy, it would be an insult to juvenile rabbits, female dogs and there male offspring everywhere. I shall not go that route.

    Should I engage the services of the bloodsuckers of Wolfram and Hart?

    Should I pray for Alex and his droogs to join forces with the BOFH, to chase down the evil doers and lart them in their yarbles ?

    Or should I say, as other yahoo users seem to be doing, "Just Google it"?

  • Liberal strategy: Vote in Republican primaries?

    I am curious -- If anyone, regardless of party affiliation can vote in primaries, and with so many candidates running for the Republican nomination for President, what would happen if the lefties vote for the least electable Republican candidate in the primaries and the turn around and vote for Obama in the presidential election later?

    I vote for the candidate and not for the party and have presumed it dishonest to vote in Republican or Democratic primaries as I am not a member of either party, but I heard on the news yesterday that non party members can vote in the primaries, so I am thinking,. Wouldn't that be a dirty trick?

  • Any comments on this statement?

    "I am invisible.

    When I am around other people, they see me, they hear me, they can shake my hand. But it doesn't matter, because they are invisible as well.

    When I watch television, I see a multitude of commercial ads for brokerage houses and financial services, offering to manage my portfolio of investments. They cannot be targeted to me, for I find I must live from paycheck to paycheck. Obviously, Wall Street doesn't know I exist.

    To them I am invisible.

    The news reports on all the people scamming social security and welfare, but for many years, my income has been just a few dollars per year too much to qualify for social services. On the other hand, I've never made enough in a year to take advantage of tax deductions other than the standard deductions.

    To the tax accountants, I am invisible.

    From 2001 to 2011, the total cost of living has increased by around 28 percent. During that same time period, my income has increased by 4 percent.

    To those who keep and compile the statistics, I am invisible.

    When I call, email or snail mail my representation in government, they don't hear me.

    To my legislators, I am invisible.

    When the banks and insurance companies take my hard earned money and give me nothing in return, when the phone company bills me for services they do not provide, when the corporations rob me of my right to due process to further their profits,I have no recourse in the law. For the laws have been hijacked to favor the wealthiest 1 percent.

    To the justice system, I am invisible.

    The ranks of the politically invisible are rapidly swelling, as former members of the shrinking middle class are joining our ranks. The time is come that we demand to be seen and heard.

    It is time to cast off our invisibility. The time is come that we, the invisible, shout out, demand to be heard and seen, and put democracy back in government."

  • Strange old movie or TV show, what is it?

    It's set in a perfect small town where every lives what seems ;ike perfect lives. One guy keeps dreaming that the perfect world is an illusion and that a cruel totalitarian regime is using mind control to control the people. Eventually he realizes that the perfect life is the dream and the dream is real, but even that is wrong, he awakes to a reality where all the expensive possessions are cardboard boxes with a word printed on it telling what it is supposed to be. I can't think o the name of this and it's bugging me.

  • 2001 Aztek 6-Cd changer?

    The 6-CD changer on my 2001 Aztek show that it has 2 cd's loaded, but if I try to play a cd or eject or load a cd, it makes a lot of whirring noises, then displays the "CD-Error" message. Can this be cleared or overridden without pulling the changer from the dash?
