]]> Comment on Me Insightful Linguist by TonyNoel http://www.mavart.com/2003-06-03-me-insightful-linguist/comment-page-4#comment-33100 TonyNoel Thu, 28 Oct 2010 08:20:48 +0000 http://www.mavart.com/2003-06-03-me-insightful-linguist#comment-33100 So I am an insightful linguist. Basically, it means, I see without seeing. To me Darkness is as clear as Daylight. What am I? I'm as blind as a bat. I wear glasses, and I am nearsighted. I figure, my brain developed this way as a result of compensating for not being able to see very much visual detail in the world unless it was very up close. This meant that hearing, smell, taste, and touch were the most useful sense I had. Everything I saw merely confirmed what I had to anticipate...or something. So once I got old enough to realize I needed glasses and got them, it put me so far ahead of all the "cool kids" who didn't need them, that I had already grown apart. In a prehistoric world, I might have been killed off early due to not seeing the lion till it was too late, but this brave new world, I am the most lethal predator on the planet. However, instead of preying on the weak minded, I pray with them. Instead of flaunting my talents, I often subtly hide them. I try and do things to help rather then hinder, which often hinders me, but I can deal with it. Take for example my birthday last year I wanted to go see the OKC Thunder, but instead I went to a sports weekend with some people, which I knew was a bad idea. The Thunder are the darlings of the NBA now, and Kevin Durant is becoming a huge star. I saw LeBron play on my birthday in 2005 and he dropped his career high 55 points. To me it's not only being smart, it's being in tune. Coincidentally I really good at karaoke. I write a lot, you might hear of me crafting the next generation of beautiful music, only, if most of the population won't get it, I guess I'll just hope that my future offspring and all of yours will appreciate it :) cheers y'all So I am an insightful linguist.

]]> Comment on Nokia n97 v2 Firmware and Optus by Fred Nurk http://www.mavart.com/2009-11-12-nokia-n97-v2-firmware-and-optus/comment-page-1#comment-31232 Fred Nurk Thu, 12 Nov 2009 07:59:18 +0000 http://www.mavart.com/?p=264#comment-31232 Sales rep promises that don't materialize? Telcos changing their fine print (which we all agree to in the contract). How does a contract that in itself proposes to change terms and conditions become a legally binding contract. I've recently had a bad run with Telstra Pre-Paid Mobile. They decided earlier this year (or so it seems) to expire pre-paid credit. This never happened before. Calls to their help desk send you to Mumbai, where no answer to the question; "When did this change" is available. You can't talk to a representative in Australia unless you are on a non-pre-paid phone contract. Telstra's login page refuses to allow me to login, but the help page tells me to use my Mobile number as a username, but the login page itself tells me I can no longer do that. Service? What "service" ?!?!!?! AARRRRGGGHHH Sales rep promises that don’t materialize?
