Market Failure!
Sometimes The Market lacks something you want. More often, The Market delivers something that's just . . . lame. In either case, it's clearly Market Failure, since The Market is clearly there just to satisfy your personal desires. Tell us about it. Grylliade understands.

I heard the new Black Lipstix CD was totally dismal and excellent, but I can't find it on iTunes.

I'm in HP printer driver hell. It auto updated and something blew up. Error messages popping up like mad. Have to manually uninstall because the installation error seems to bug out all of the driver utilities. Blah.

Re: Market Failure!
Ah, printers, the dung of Satan. My girlfriend has a multifunction printer which she hates. I figure, I'll try and hook it up to my Mac, maybe I'll have more luck with it. No, because Dell does not make Mac drivers for their printers, period. FU, Dell.

That's terrible package design. I suspect a shop.

Re: Market Failure!
I'm not really sure what to do with this.
On the one hand, an omnipotent deity with an assault rifle is clearly more powerful than one without.
But on the other, the AK-47 is the weapon of terrorists and paramilitaries. If God were on America's side he'd have an M-4 or an M-16.

Re: Market Failure!
So I went googling in an attempt to confirm the exisence of a GodAlmighty action figure. No luck. Finding this similarly packaged (but even funnier) product somewhere on the tubez, I now suspect hoaxEric the .5b wrote:That's terrible package design. I suspect a shop.

Still the exercise it wasn't completely fruitless as I did find these other, very real Biblical action figures for sale at Christianbook.com.

Re: Market Failure!
Ugh. WTF did Google do to Google News? It used to be nice and clean; now it looks like every other "portal" site, crapped up with a bunch of useless noise. I'm starting to think that Google has lost its original designers, who understood the value of simplicity.

Ha! Was just thinking that. In that "poll" box click "reset personalisations" (or something similar) and that will put things back to the way they're supposed to be.JD wrote:Ugh.
