Actinic Room 101.1

[george]

Five things you want rid of, for good, with reasons.

One must be Actinic related, another computer related.

The other three can be totally anything.


Have fun, etc.

[leehack]

1. The stupid characters that go in between the block if statements, making them almost impossible to read. PleaseLetsHaveCamelCasingInstead.
2. Cross browser CSS issues.
3. Make it mandatory to be using the latest version of a browser.
4. Remove speed limits on motorways, crush speeders in the towns instead.
5. Any mention of Google Checkout, Sage or Quickbooks on the actinic forum.

[chris ashdown]

Multiple check out pages (must be loosing customers whilst filling these in)

Automatic upgrades

New email message always comming on when im typing in something and dont know how to disable it

Reality TV

People on forums who say "search the Forum" with no other valid help, why did they bother to answer

[Stereo Steve]

1. I would remove the lack of google checkout from Actinic (see what I did there?)
2. Junk that they put on new laptops which all starts up when the PC boots so your system tray looks like the M25 at 5.30pm. I just wish we still had the satisfation of typing FORMAT C: instead of all this boot from CD nonsense.
3. Idiots
4. The predictability of internet forums. The same character types are present on every single one.
5. People who say 'Pink Floyd are boring'

[Donna]

Long upload times
Windows updates
Reality TV (with you on this one Chris)
Chefs and foodies telling me what to feed my kids (Nanny Culture)
Calories from chocolate

[TraceyHand]

1) long winded stock control for size/colour choices
2) Firefox updates asking me to reboot my computer every 4 minutes until I do!
3) School teachers who talk to parents like they're 7 years old
4) ALL adverts for children's toys on TV
5) People who think they know me when they don't

[PaulGrimshaw]

the whole Access and clunky stock/product maintainence etc etc
quicktime always installs itself in the tray after an upgrade..
my campervan failing its MOT Every Single Year
sky+ full of wifes crap and me not having anything recorded!
people who say pink floyd are NOT boring

[Tickle]

The life sucking long checkout process

Windows (OS X convert) and MS having such influence over software design

The need for sleep

Supermarket checkout staff who feel (or are encouraged) to discuss the contents of my shopping trolley

bugs/insects and flying whatsit thingies

Rules!

[pnagames]

the stock control (oops i think i need to find something that exists in actinic)
the need to upgrade PC every 1/2 hour to playtest the latest games (very expensive process)
idiots who phone a helpdesk without reading the manuals
reality TV
the nanny culture that primarily exists in the UK.

[Legends]

1 Stock Control on Actinic (easy one this)
2 Computers that are out of date before you get them out of the shop (why can't you get automatic updates for the hardware)
3 Ultra high prices for motorway service stations snack cr@p.
4 Rainy days in summer
5 Warm Fosters
6 Lists limited to 5 items

[TraceyHand]

the stock control (oops i think i need to find something that exists in actinic)

*sniggers*
funny

[gabrielcrowe]

1) Internet Explorer (cobbled together bloatware junk)
2) Noobs (its behavoural not temporal)
3) Perl (only from actinic)
4) Bad Parenting (parents who shout at and hit their children in the streets)
5) Chavs (britains new ruling class of socially retarded blingjunkies)

[Mike Hughes]

1) The way VAT works (doesn't) in Actinic cart, invoices, etc.
2) JAVA.
3) Speed bumps.
4) Pointless TV shows (reality, more Diana rehash, etc).
5) Local councils and council tax.

[george]

Actinic's way of handling items removed from an order. (They still stay on the invoice making it untidy sometimes).

Putta related I suppose... Overuse of adverts on websites. Some sites including a couple of forums have been ruined due to the sheer greed of the owners.

PMT. Its just wrong. Why should us males have to put up with crap cos the fair sex cannot handle a wee bit of uncomfort. (no further dialog on this can be entered into thank you very much)

Smoking. No problem with people wanting to be addicted and kill themselves sooner than needed but I do have a problem with when they exhale.

Dave Whelan and Kevin McCabe. Get over it.

[jont]

1. Partial Design Snapshot
2. Blue Screen of Death
3. idiots strolling across roads thinking they are invincible to traffic
4. drivers not standing behind safety barriers when their vehicle has broken down on the motorway
5. people who think they are better than others
