Facebook application requests.

Every time I log in, I see another 17 invitations to join the Zombies vs. Vampires vs. Werewolves battle, from random people I haven't talked to in years. If I defriend them, they're probably going to IM me with "whyd you defriend me on facebook???" at which point I'll respond that the only social contact I've had with them in years was getting bitten by their internet vampire alter-ego several times.

I really don't mind Facebook that much but most of the waste-of-time applications need to die.

You can see where this is headed. I don't know why this enrages me so but it does.

Especially the "you broke it again!!!!!!" part. Yes, ma'am, we just felt like changing your password because we love it when you send us 27 copies of a whiny e-mail.

It wouldn't be so bad if not for all the indignation.

Oh god what has this thread become

Has anyone mentioned RealPlayer yet? To me, that program has never been useful, really nothing more than a resource hog. My brother-in-law's work computer slowed to a crawl because of all the garbage his coworkers installed on it, including RealPlayer. After I uninstalled that, it sped up considerably. I uninstalled a few more useless programs and had him run a defrag and leave it on overnight. Still need to get back to him but it should be running decently now. Thank God for Real Alternative.

Every other person I talk to can't pronounce the word "authentication". It's either "authentation" or "authoration" or something similar. You'd think after seeing the word and hearing it a few times it would sink in, but I guess that would require having faith in humanity, huh?

No, Mr. Client, I don't see "megabytes" in that list there.

I know, it's such a little thing, but all the same.
