Here is a tip, lets do away with tips and pay servers at least minimal wage.
Why are waiters so special to get extra money for their service? I do believe they are hired to serve me my food. What sets them apart from anyone else? You don't see me tipping the UPS guy for serving me my package. No one ever tips the lunch lady for giving you a tray of glop. Nor have I ever tipped my boss for giving me a load of crap.
An employer hires a person to preform a job. I don't get the reason why the customer who is already paying for service have to pay an additional amount. A bell hop's job is to deliver your bags to your room. His employee has already hired him to do this task.
I can see being at a McDonalds, ordering a #2 and while I was waiting, my food is served and a regular person decided to bring me my bag since they were heading the same way to their table. I would thank them of course, but no money was ever thought of.
History of the 'tip' was originally ment "To Insure Promptness". I can see handing the waiter a $10 and ask him to expedite my order. But why tip afterward? Plus I want to tip the cook who made the food. I can tell you right now, it's how the food tasted that will bring me back, Not from whom I received it.
I am sorry, but I will only tip if I feel the person has gone above and beyond their normal call of duty. Or maybe I should start holding out my hand to the companies I work for when I push that heavy case.

Review of Majora's Mask
Annoying.
To much having to go to inventory and change my C buttons. Along with changing masks. To much of that. I change mask at least 10 times in a 3 minute window. Some times 10 times with in 30 seconds. Very annoying.
At any one time you usually need 5 of your items. Problem is your C buttons only hold 3. So you are constentlly switching them around. Very aggrivating.
The game is not as flowing as the original. You need to be in a tiny 2x2 box inorder for something to work. If you even over the invisible box line. Your action won't work. In the original game, you had at least a 4x4 square to complete an action. (2 units to me equal the width of a door way).
I am so confused as to what I need to do next. Having to refresh back to the first day over and over, I feel no sence of accomplishment. I have stocked piled all my inventory, my wallett is full, Ive done tons of mini missions. and I have to revert back to the first day, and bam. All gone. I am finding it a waste of my time. I save a little girl from a well, and have to come back and do it all over again.
All of the tiny missions to get masks, bottles, and other such are not indicated at all in the game. Only reason I know of all of them is because I am using walk throughs that people have posted on the net. How should I know how to get all 6 bottles, and that 2 of them I can only get past 6pm on the last day. With a map so big, I would never of known that.
My review: Not worth the aggravation. Don't buy.

Spam Caps
While reading some stories today on Digg, a light bulb came on.
Internet providers are always complaining that us customers are using to much bandwidth and have started to putting cap's on our download and upload combined limit. "Cause our 'pipe's can't handle the amount of traffic"
Well why don't they go after the Spammers of the net. According to ABCNews.com, Over 62 trillion Spam emails are circulating around the net.
So I say, Kill the spammers, they are the ones hoggin up all the bandwidth
62 Trillion Spam E-mails = ?

Google needs Topics
Google, you need to add sub groups, or categories, or genera to your search's
When I search for a hammer
http://www.google.com/search?q=hammer
I don't get lucky. I get a site about bowling.
When I search for Brick
I top result is about a movie, then about the song Brick by ben folds five.
I want sub topics. When I google brick, instead of 'do you mean' I want to get "Which genera? Masonry, Media, location"
Google hammer: Music? Tools? Hammer Stores?
Google eggdrop: IRC Bot? Science Project? Easter Egg?
Google Needs to refine their search engine. They have created Images, News, Shopping, Video, So it knows how to tell the difference. Give me a selection of topics google. Let me be able to refine my search.
And no, the "Searches related to:" does not help. Searches related to: brick= brick game brick lyrics brick furniture brick restaurant
brick sizes bricks and stones brick patio brick cost
I want BRICKS just strictly a block of stone that is red!!.
Why? cause when I search up something in specific. I never find the result I am looking for. Cause all the results listed have nothing to do what I am looking for. This is extremely painful when I am search for an item that uses a common name. I am still looking for a device that has 12-16 buttons on it, and when a button is pressed, a sound effect is played. I want to call this a sound pad. But when search for it, I get topics relating to editing software and some British council Facebook profile.
I would like 'search with in results' topic. First Search: Audio, then search: Hardware, then search playback, or touch pad, or sound pad. And I will be able to refine my results to something like the 360's Instant replay device.

building an IRC bot is like snow
I am currently trying to create an IRC bot out of my old linksys router. Ive been on efnet #netradio for 7+ years , and have now been given the responsibly as an op in the channel. Thus to prevent the 'op-less channel' issue. Which had occured.
While brushing up on all my operator/admin commands I visited a fellow radio irc guy. And was playing around with their bot. (robot setup to do automated tasks) like automatilcy Op or Voice a user. I got intrested, created my own. bot's name is eq_Guard. Its doing ok, but lives in mIRC on a computer.
While searching around more, I learn about eggdrop, a irc bot program that would replace mIRC. Only thing is I need to find a home for the eggdrop to live. I can rent out a place online for $5 a month. or create my own. Yea would be subjected to power outages in my home. But would be free.
I have heard I can use my old linksys router to do the job. but its a WRT54G version 5 router. Which nolonger has the proper linux operation on it to do what I need it to do.
My point of this post is to describe to you in a metaphore what this whole experence has been like to me. I thought this would be very easy. But now into the third day, my brain has crashed, and I think I am on the verge of 'bricking' my mind.
[17:23] eqrunner: fail!
[17:24] eqrunner: not the only fail today
[17:24] eqrunner: haveing a hellof a time getting any answers from the web
[17:24] eqrunner: flashed the router with dd-wrt linux firmware
[17:25] eqrunner: but due to my linksys router being a WRT54g version 5, its got a different base
[17:25] eqrunner: so i was forced to use only the micro version of dd-wrt
[17:25] eqrunner: but i cant find a compairsion anywhere between micro and their 'normal'
[17:26] eqrunner: cuase i have done the SD card mod to the router
[17:26] eqrunner: but dd-wrt isnt finding it
[17:27] eqrunner: its becoming one
[17:28] eqrunner: just when i think im making a break through
[17:28] eqrunner: i get that 'oh by the way' sindrome
[17:29] eqrunner: like shovlin snow..
[17:29] eqrunner: look at radar, see clear skys for the next week..
[17:29] eqrunner: go out to shovel that 1 in of snow off..
[17:29] eqrunner: haft way there you notice another 2 inches has fall while you were snowing
[17:30] eqrunner: you finish off to the end of the driveway and the snow plow comes and throws all that slushy gray crap all over your driveway
[17:30] eqrunner: so you begin working on that when you see that the extra 2 inches has melted then frozen over leaving a layer of ice
[17:31] eqrunner: and by the time your done with the snow plow stuff, another 3 inches has fallen
[17:31] eqrunner: while pushing that 3 inches off the icelayer, the snow plow has made another pass
[17:32] eqrunner: and thats where i am at this point
[17:32] eqrunner: standing on a layer of ice, staring at what the snow plow just added while another inch of snow accumlates on my head
[17:33] eqrunner: im about to go inside and get a cup of hot choloclate and say screw it

Various Artist Ft
Various Artists featuring Cee lo Green, Brend - Open Happiness
Ok, why the hell do Cee lo Green and Brend get special treatment? What makes these bozos so special? Why are they not included as part of the Various Artists?
This is what royaly annoys the hell out of me with this crap music today. Every one is Ft in every one elses songs. God forbid they decided to do a tour. You got 10 songs out, all contaning Ft artists. Like you really are going have all Ft artist on tour with it. Come on. I guess you suck so bad that you require other popular artists in your song to help promote your music case you SUCK!.
Oh wait, that is true. That and your writing ablity also is pathedic. Cause you are covering songs from song that were made in 1990. Damn you. Learn to sing, learn to write good quality music or get off the radio!
