I like msn, It's the only good thing micro$oft has made. But the people who use it are...well, not exactly up to scratch on what is annoying to the rest of the world. So here is the definitive guide on how not o annoy people on msn.
1. GREEK TEXT IS NOT COOL!
Infact, whenever I see it, I want to die. But I see it on bebo, MSN and the like. And trust me, spelling out your name (or those of your friends) DO NOT LOOK COOL IN ANYWAY! It looks DISGUSTING, CONFUSING AND TACKY!
2. Simplify your display name:
My personal one at the moment is "[Shedtroll Amaranth] Fancy visual Effects do not protect you". People may choose just their name, or maybe a shot saying or even a line from a poem. What I have a problem with is the ones that go "BOB&DAVE&CARA&BUGSY&ANDSYBOMBABOMBABOMBA(yn)(L)(yn)(L)(yn)(L)(yn)(L)". not only are they confusing, random and all round retarded, they are also confusing and an eye sore.
3. Put brackets around your personal emoticon triggers:
Is that so hard to do? When someone types "Hi" I don't want it in sparkly text! I have custom emoticons but I put brackets around triggers so they do not replace words!
4. Speak English:
Text language is for text messaging, so take the extra one second to type out your messages in FULL ENGLISH. It's not hard to do!
5. Don't click those 'find you who's blocking you' or 'OMG look at this sexy pic' messages:
Incase you haven't noticed, those are viruses. They spread via MSN, So I also recommend you get some Anti Virus software!

Cuba's dictator, Fidel Castro is retiring after 49 years of oppression and cigar smoking. Now, who's going to take over in his stead? According to Leah, Fidel's kid brother Raul will take over, but I have a better idea who should take over.
"But Shedtroll", I hear you ask, "Why replace a Caban dictator with a lovable cigar smoking Television presenter and radio DJ? Well...
- Both wear tracksuits
- Both smoke cigars
- Both present radio shows
- and lets be honest, they look quite similar...
Yes you heard me...
Yes, Watch it power through THESE NUTS!
But alas....I cannot get one....why? Because they don't do international orders....YOU BASTARDS (sob)...
To all concerned....
Like so many on this curious thing we call the Internet, I use Social networking. They are handy tools to interact with friends from the comfort of my home. The only problem is this. I have friends who are on Bebo, Facebook and Myspace, and very few of them want to switch from their current one.
So, what am I talking to you for? Well, my current situation is not convenient. Where thousands choose one Social network, I, along with thousands more, cannot. I also do not want to go zipping back and forth, tending to each page individually. This takes time which I cannot give.
I am not alone in this situation, and sure, you would want competition, but this competition is at the expense of your users! Not everyone is willing to choose. Bebo has Great usability, Facebook is clean, open and flexible, and myspace can support HTML, but your users need something more...
I propose that sometime in the future, I (or indeed someone else) will develop an application/widget to link all the sites together, and allow interactivity between the two. You must be aware that disgrantled users DO have the power to do this. The only question is therefore who, and when.

OK, you've heard of the pirate bay, and how it's been charged with flaunting copyright laws? Well, here's my opinion. The pirate bay should not be charged!
Why? Well all the content is provided externaly by other people. It's like if I do some Graffiti on a wall and the city council gets charged for it. So why is the pirate bay being charged? Because they are the face of piracy AND because the the swedish authorities simply no idea.
If you cut off a hand it doesn't kill the person, the pirate bay is simply the hand! They are the people who provide the links, but since it's P2P, all the content is hosted by the users as opposed to the pirate bay themselfs...
Secondly, the record/movie companies want a head, they want a head to say THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS TO TRAITORS! And since they still have that attadude of 'The face is attached to the body', they will therefore attack the face, the pirate bay.
IT'S A CONSPIRICY I TELLS YOU! I SWEAR HE CUT JACKIE BIRD IN TWO AND BROUGHT HER BACK TOGETHER AGAIN!!
OK, I dunno how I got to this but here it goes...
I was on the PC, and I was bored. But somehow, I thought of something random...
