Things that piss you off!

Then how is the translation wrong??? 

Would you expect a girl from England to be named Bridget or Satellizer??

I still don't get how it's the translations fault, just the author's.

I never said it was the bloody translator's fault. Read my damn post. Fucking hell, man...

Shingeki no Kyojin being translated as Attack on Titan. Lrn2Japanese

Not as bad as Bridget L Satellizer that was born in England from Freezing being translated as Satellizer L Bridget instead and her entire family getting the Bridget last name because whoever wrote it was too stupid to understand Western naming conventions.

They speak of El Bridget family in the anime in Jap Dub too though...

It's not a translation issue. As I said, it's because whoever wrote it was too stupid to understand Western naming conventions.

If I could possibly facepalm any more I'd have to be using a tree right now.

No one I asked "properly" knew of a way to download a site, although gits came the closest due to his/her epicness.

You need an indexer/crawler to do that.

When people think you shouldn't criticize something  or voice your (negative) opinion on it just because it's free.

Aye, and even when it's a hobbyist doing it and it isn't free. People tend to go into a crazy fanboi mode over anything these days...

Damn, chill yo.

You can do the same by right-clicking anywhere on a webpage that isn't a link and click "Save as". Choose "Webpage Complete" or equivalent and it will save the entire page. This, of course, assumes you are using a desktop browser.

Only 1000 files per batch download in IDM. It was so fast and efficient (more than dTa) but then this stupid limiter!

Is 8 enough?

All those pissed you off or you agree that we should be pissed off? :S

Lol. Nikkoru is getting sillier and sillier with time.

Hmm, I came across a "crawler" but it decided to give an error when I tried to run it since it's Win 8. Any tested one?

I don't know of any myself but a quick google showed a few things you might want to try:
http://www.httrack.com/
http://file2hd.com/
http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/ (you'll need *nix or cygwin - cygwin is easy to install on Windows though) "It has a method to create a local copy of any site to a specific depth. It will also rewrite all the links and references so that you can locally browse the resulting folder offline."
Curl - similar to above
lftp - similar to above
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/scrapbook/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/downthemall/?src=search

wget is the one to use, without a doubt. It's ridiculously useful, for all kinds of purposes. If you don't use Linux, there are Windows builds available too.

On topic: Crappy wifi signal, and absolutely no way to improve it. At this point the only way to improve it would be to connect a second access point by running a long cable running down the stairs, and I've been told that that is absolutely not an option. Apparently it's a safety hazard (which is fair enough).

Try that worked for me.

I absolutely HATE it when bidders on ebay bid way above the buyout price then never pay. I've posted my new God of War PS3 on ebay 5 times. The first four times people bid and never paid. This last one that ended today didn't work because "his son was playing on his phone and hit the wrong buttons. didn't mean to buy. sorry."

I really don't like how ebay doesn't validate bidders.

lol I was so paranoid a few years ago trying to get a couple of PS2 games.

Ahh, of course! Why didn't I think of that before? Thank you so much, thanks to that video I'm sure I'll be able to double my wifi signal easily!

Thanks Bob, I'll check it out for another site which HTTrack failed to save if I recall correctly.


HTTrack is doing its job nicely it seems.... BUT it's already >7GB and it doesn't seem to be ending soon. Not to mention, I didn't expect it to be that large since text mainly so its saving in C drive...

Acrobat not opening. NOOOOOO not another reinstall! WHY U FAIL ADOBE?!

We have heating rods to cool a glass of water but no "cooling rod" to cool the tea a little bit before drinking.

then why don't you use the "heating rod" to "cool" it then? loool

icecubes work, i doubt theres hotcubes though.

[Mysterion]

Something's wrong with me today I guess. Phailed hard twice in a row.

Ice cubes work but they dilute the tea and it feels "watery" and less tasty that way. Or even if the rice is hot, a cooling rod plunged in would help.

[kitamesume]

i think i know something that would be of interest, a hollow cylinder type  peltier with heatpipe on the inside.
the dissipation side would be an array of small fins, doubles as a handle too. the heatpipe shouldn't have a reading of over 45c on the dissipation side so it'll be touchable.
the whole thing doubles as a stirrer.

If you had half a brain, you'd wrap an ice cube in plastic and dunk it in the tea for a bit. Or place your teacup on an ice bed.

ohhh, popsicles.

^ Yummy.

Would take long for the liquid to cool through the glass...

just get some popsicles and dip it in your tea, buy the jellies so it'll taste better when hot.

It doesn't take all that long.
Another way is to repeatedly pour the tea between two containers.  Increased surface area + flow = fast cooling.
