Once my game development gets further along, I'll be stealing away a lot of her work time too...so even more taunting. On a mildly related note, with all her ME stuff, I am surprised no one has been bitching about Liara.

I wondered when this was going to crop up, especially after you got the references from me.

Indeed it is, makes my Inspiron 1545 run like a dream, can't say I like the gestures you have to make to use the metro, but it is more tolerable with the track pad than a physical mouse. All of the start-button apps I have seen don't actually remove or even block metro, they just prevent you from needing to go into it.

Nothing really, hence why they don't seem to be in much of a hurry to stop it.

Except they went and put it up all over again and not even requiring an Adobe ID...this is some ploy methinks.

Nope, Android...a DROID Bionic to be exact. and as I said, this is the first problem I've really had with it, and I've had it since it came out.

Not an OS update, already checked that before posting. The app thing sorta matches my theory, as I said, I have a Facebook app that syncs my contacts, and that was where I first saw the broken number. I disabled the sync function except for contacts that already exist in my phone, deleted her contact, and recreated it. This process seems to have worked, however I did a number of other things right about the same time, so I really don't know what it was that finally resolved the issue.

*moved to general tech support, as technically my phone is a computer* <.<

Indeed, several times, in fact I have even tried adding it under other names, and tried adding a +1 at the beginning, which sometimes you need to do here in the U.S. The only conclusion I have drawn so far is that it may have something to do with her Facebook info. I have a smartphone which syncs any Facebook friends that have contact info, to my contacts. She says the number is right on her profile, but on both my phone and computer it displays in the weird 916916XXXX fashion...though it also has random ass spacing. Odd thing was, prior to her actually giving me her number, that was what had synced to my phone, and it still ID'd her properly when she called me for the first time. I have tried deleting the Facebook info off my phone, and that didn't seem to fix it...but that is still my theory, especially since they display the same incorrect number. However, it doesn't make sense why it should break the number even if it has no way to connect to the Facebook profile. This is also the only time I have had this happen, and I have several friends with 919 916 numbers.

So I've had my phone for a long time now, and have never encountered this before. I recently made a new friend at an event I went to, and we were planning to keep in touch. But my phone is persistently messing up her number in my contacts. I know I have the right number, I can call her, she can call me, and it displays in my contact info just fine...but when I try to text, instead of going to a 919 916 XXXX it goes to a 916 916 XXXX. It's weird and I can't find anything about it online.

A European Cowboy.....what. the. fuck.

Good music, the tongues movement gives me the willies though. http://youtu.be/_964dqQxQwY

If someone doesn't understand this reference, I am going to move to Mars.

@@Szico VII really can't help but advise people, he is a doctor now after all.

@@Caelum is specifically who you should talk to, though I don't think he is looking to expand the staff again just yet (we just added two more) I suppose it wouldn't hurt you to talk to him. As for helping with the site, Caelum has this thing about letting other people touch his code lol.

Hate to double post, but just set my desktop up in a new way that I am fond of.

I swear it was broken before I got here, I just failed to fix it.

Your image was broken, I fixed it

You say you aren't getting anything on the monitor sometimes, does it use output from the motherboard, or a video card? If it's connected to the motherboard, then that is likely where the problem lies, if not and your card uses it's own power from the power supply then that leads me to think that is the problem. I am going to assume you probably have other devices going faulty that you may not have listed, check and see how many of the devices that mess up get their power from it as well...if all or the majority do, then either your cords are faulty or the supply is.

True story.

All the things wrong with this statement. Laptops are not optimal for gaming. And any high-powered one that would be unlikely to blow up in a matter of days, would run you over 1,000 US.

Yay for my advice
