@RLJ676-LS3 Commuter Car - for the environment: I just heart clicked you, thumbed up you, hired you, fired you, spanked you, denied your social security disability claim, and kicked your dog.
@RLJ676-LS3 Commuter Car - for the environment: It just started working for me this morning. I maintain that I haven't seen an actual improvement in commenting in about 2 years. The last 3 rounds of changes have made things worse.
I just want chronological, non-threaded commentary. No STARS, no THUMBS, no PROMOTIONS, no HEART CLICKS, etc. If I wanted all that cliquey one-upmanship, I'd use MySpace, Facebook, and/or Twitter.
@RLJ676-LS3 Commuter Car - for the environment: I agree. Gawker seems to have taken the term "commentariat" to heart and adopted a "Everyone is equal, but some are more equal" attitude. I say they cannot keep us in the dark forever. Ignore the common commentariat at your own risk! Someday we'll rise up and overthrow the Wroika (Wert, Wes, and Wojdyla) and install Murilee as our Great Leader. We'll keep Hardigree around as the guy who we scapegoat for all our problems.
@RLJ676-LS3 Commuter Car - for the environment: Displeased is far too polite a word for my response. Voodoo dolls were being prepared, demons were summoned, Slayer's Reign In Blood CD was playing on "repeat"....I was preparing some serious wrath.
By the way...uh, Ray?...that stabbing pain should subside presently. Sorry 'bout that.
I'm shocked the freaking Hilux hasn't been stolen already.
I mean, it's a fucking Toyota Truck. That's like, GOLD in 3rd world countries.
On a related note, I had my 1989 Toyota Camry broken into three times, each time they'd steal my shit, but never bothered taking my crummy CD deck. They popped my trunk and stole my sub and amp, but left my CD deck.
@Plecostomus needs GALVANIZED SCREWS: Part of the reason I like my Volvo is that you can't open the trunk from inside. That shit's safe, unless it's something you can get reaching through the not-totally-obvious ski passthrough.
It's clever, not much resale value in it, but wouldn't a removable faceplate stereo be a lot easier? With 3 stolen in 3 months you'd think the cops would just stake out a place like that, easy pickings to find they guy (probably was the same guy). He's got to carry all that other stuff around, just take the faceplate along instead...
@Hello_Newman: One of the three stolen stereos was a removable-faceplate unit (without the faceplate) and it was stolen anyway. These are crackheads, remember, so they're not particularly rational about determining the value of the stuff they steal.
As for the cops staking out the parking lot: ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Oakland ha ha ha ha ha! They got 'em working in shifts!

I don't think it ever left. Or is that some new show? One where they opened a "West Coast Customs" in Germany....

It does seem I can finally comment, and the pages don't all error out though.

You're right, I'm pleased I can respond here at all finally and most things work. Not so pleased that my lack of star seems to really matter now.

I kind of missed what all the changes were as nothing was working then for me, but damn, sounds like you have all the power, haha.

I initially read that as "That would be gruel" and thought what a clever play on words.

....hey, whaddya know..this thing seems to be working. I provisionally rescend my fatwa against the Gawker Media IT department*.
(*SCROGGS!!! reserves the right to go into a blinding rage if the Gawker Media IT dept shits the bed again. YOU HERE ME! DON'T MAKE ME COME IN THERE!)

I'm with you. What button do I hit promoting that idea.

So I see I wasn't the only person rather displeased by a week of internet crashing nonsense around here.
