Did the PI who was investigating prominent CIG staff find this and not mention it? Or find it and send it to CR/Sandi/Ortwin and they ignored it? It wasn't exactly hard to find.

Why would the PI investigate someone who is as obviously loyal as :lesnick: to the cause? Nothing could possibly be wrong with him. :ironicat:

In a few hours I'm legit gonna write that letter to Kerri-Lee Mayland, to notify her that this nutbag still hasn't taken down over 1200 pictures of her on a website. If another goon writes it before I go out and finish up in the yard, though, please post ITT - see no reason to spam her with more than one notification.

Sorry to hear it. How bad is it?

Iwork10 is a z8300 tablet so it's a bit slow surfing on it, will see if I can get it to not suck. Keyboard dock is awesome, I love the design with hinges and stuff. It didn't come with a charger so I'm a bit lost finding a charger and cable that gives it more than about 0.5A of juice. Stylus hasn't come yet so I don't know it it's any good.

Overall quality is awesome, great metal and glass work, display is really, really good. Overall I'm one happy camper

Sounds nice; as long as it does what you need it to do, happy days.

As for mine - it happens. I'm calm about it now; yesterday I was bloody fuming. It looks like a short in a connector, so I'm going to have a chat with the vendor and then probably have a punt at solving it if we can come to an agreement on it. If not I guess it's refund time.

When it worked though - very nice unit. Screen was much better than expected. Not as good as a Surface, but very clear and bright, and perfect for me at 100% scale. Plenty of power, cheerfully plays Diablo 3 for when I'm not coding on it, and thanks to having a full SSD it's nice and nippy to use. Even comes with a USB3.1 C for hub shenanigans, with pass-through video for external displays.

If I manage to unbunch my panties and fix this, will go the full nine yards with heatsink mods and bump the power up on it, and it'll be a perfect daily driver.

So gutted though. Perfect for what I need it for, one really daft - but major - snag.

Will definitely have to pick up a Surface if this doesn't go right, though.

I guess Nintendo recently fired their community manager because she had written some creepy paper in college defending Japanese perverts or something.

I really don't know anything about it, but I understand that there are groups and activists out there who look out for the interests of women in gaming both in the industry and as consumers.

I think they might like to hear about the public face of this 112 million dollar video game company, his record dealing with issues involving women of their forums, and the light shed on it all by his obnoxious and disturbing website.

Somebody please report this to an activist group. I would do it but I dont know any.

It really is a good point that the community manager, the face of this company, is a stalker and a pervert.

OK Toast, I asked this before you started posting in the thread but I really need to know the answer now because it is really bugging me.

Based on your LinkedIn you have a pretty drat good legal resume (Berkeley JD and Townsend&Townsend's patent litigation dept), so why the gently caress did you take position at CIG as a paralegal? It's simply mind-boggling how someone with 4 years experience at one of the better "Big Law" firms would drop down to paralegal work.

Please respond or I won't be able to sleep at night. tia

You all keep asking the wrong questions. And allowing an attorney who is, by nature, obfuscate stuff all the time, to lead.

These are the correct questions to ask.

1) Does Steven Kam work for CIG?

2) Is Steven Kam "Toast" on CIG?

3) How is it that once MoMa was accused of having CIG duplicated in his LinkedIn entry, it was immediately fixed (I had a refresh alert on it using a Chrome plugin; so I caught it)?

4) If Steven Kam isn't Toast and Toast isn't MoMa, how/why did the change in #3 above happen?

5) If #4 is a no-go, why did Jared bother to mention in a public Tweet, that Toast was his room mate? What's the relevance?

Note also that Toast has a post on CIG forums in which he explains why he has two profiles there. One as a contractor/employee, one as a backer.

Note also that if Kam is Toast then it stands to reason that, as a fan, and room mate of Jared, he would still be around, regardless of whether or not he is on the payroll.

Note also that Jared posted that Toast had been "promoted". Again; all within the span of 48hrs of me trying to tie MomA to Toast

I don't care what anyone says, it's him.
