Google mail probably isnt worth it as a business case anymore. They made the entire thing free/cheapish for businesses but in the last year hiked the costs crazy high which means that companies cant really repackage it as a free solution for users.

Yeah I was recently comparing it to office 365 at work and it's surprisingly expensive so I don't have much of a case for my boss who would rather downgrade plan.

It used to be free, actually I still have a Google apps account for grcade but nobody uses it so might steal back.

Talk about looking what you want to look at. There are loads of positives across all kinds of media in the forum.


not really i see positives but they are usually ignored, the negatives seem to be a main obsession, never with much detail of course just stuff like that was shite or 4/10 crap. Stuff like that is just pointless.

I now know you're talking about The Walking Dead topic :lol: But take another topic in Entertainment, True Detective, that thread is brimming with positivity because it deserves its plaudits. The Walking Dead is such a polarising show because people expect alot from it and whether you agree or not alot of the time the show is unfortunately, junk. But people like zombies, and there isn't another show like it (well, maybe The Returned is it's clostet rival) so we continue to watch.

Yahoo are dumping google and facebook sign in to all of its services and forcing you to create a yahoomail thing.

My Flickr account is tied to my google account and I see no reason why I should be forced to change. Yet another strawberry floating account to keep track of and get hacked.

Irrelevant fuckheads.

Isnt that because Flickr Pro isnt a thing anymore? They suspended it last year and gave everyone mega accounts.

If you had a pro account then they just gave you some extra gooseberry fool unless you cancelled the account and they gave you a pro rata refund. I think I got about 7p back.

Origami instructions.

Steps 22-24, here: http://xinjingrushui.com/node/2039

What the absolute christ is going on there? It's just [before picture] > [after picture], and the explanation is absolutely pathetic.

I've just wasted an hour getting that far, and now I'm completely stumped. Origami is basically the only area where I prefer online videos to actual instruction sheets, because the instructions are far too lazily written to be understandable for the more complicated models. That's genuinely got me properly annoyed. I've just wasted the paper and an hour or so getting that far. FML.

Do you understand the difference between a valley and mountain fold? If so, you can read any origami instructions.

Yup, holy gooseberry fool #22 is an absolute mindfuck. I'll give it another try later on I think, and I'll be more accurate with my folds.

This one's similar, and a bit easier by the looks of things: http://loveorigami.ucoz.ru/masters/trol ... rollip.pdf

Glad it's not just me being incompetent :slol:

Thanks for that link, too :wub: I saw the Trollip version yesterday, going to give that one a bash tonight. This can only end well.

Next.co.uk

Yesterday could not remember my password & sent several requests to send me a new one. Just 24 hours later
they've still not sent me a new one. Come the strawberry float on. I don't want to waste my time ringing you. I've
got better stuff to be doing with my time.
