Things that annoyed Brian

24 August 06 - 09:05Munchies

So my workplace keeps a decently stocked kitchen with snacks and such. Most of what they buy is purchased through CostCo and thus comes in large sampler boxes. One of things consistently purchased is large boxes of individual sized Frito-Lay snacks. The box comes with Doritos (Cool Ranch and Nacho Cheese), Sun Chips, Chex Mix, Cheetos, Rold Gold Pretzels, and Munchies. I tried the Munchies today for the first time.

Someone at Frito-Lay thought "hmmm, let's bag the broken and small pieces of our other salty snack products and sell it as a new product". What the heck is wrong with them? Who on earth wants a bag that contains a mixture of salty products? Sun Chips do not go particularly well with Cheetos. No wonder the Munchies are usually the last things to go at work.

03 August 06 - 17:53MMORPGs, a simple missing feature

While I have not played a huge number of MMORPGs, I have played a handful. And a feature that I would really like, but have yet to see, is a simple checkbox on the login screen that would remember my username and password. Sure, some games have a checkbox to remember the username, is it really so much to not remember my password? Sure, I suppose I can understand why they don't remember it by default (mischievous siblings being the first example I can think of), but put a darn checkbox for it please.

Can anyone give me a good reason why this isn't an option?
