My wireless headphones drive me similarly batty. They’ll work for a few weeks, then you have to re-pair the bluetooth every time, then a few days later you’re forced to reboot to get them to connect. If I didn’t keep breaking corded headphones and players while exercising, I wouldn’t bother.

Named after a 10th-century Scandinavian Constantine-wannabe and designed by a committee whose primary goal was maximizing pennies-per-device per-member royalties.
What could possibly go wrong?

The site is double posting. After you post, delete the second post.

Oh, no, the cursed stealth doppelgänger-hacker yet again! (He was doing it yesterday, too!) I’ve found that if I delete one of my double posts, the other one disappears as well. Let’s try that out!

I’ve never been a fan of wireless anything. I use mobile phones and Wi-Fi at home, because the convenience is usually worth the aggravation, but the wired equivalent (land-line, Ethernet, etc.) is faster and more reliable.

seems to be a bug in the programming. It’s in all the strips this morning. You can click on your duplicate, and delete it.

Whether or not Both copies of the post disappear when you delete the Extra seems to depend on Which One you delete. Plus, Yesterday, I was getting as many as 6 copies of the same post on just One click of the Submit button. .

Oh, and the Refresh Comments button also seems to generate Extra copies of, not just Your Post, but other people’s posts as well.

I recently splurged for wireless headsets since I got tired of the cord breaking on my regular ones. So far it’s been great! Now I can get the housework done while I listen to all of my podcasts. :D (Let’s hope this doesn’t double-post. If it does, then “play it again, Sam!”

Or just the world of a lack of testing before deploying updates into production.

You not only have to turn the BlueTooth on the phone on, but you also have to adjust the setting to make it “discoverable.” D’oh!
