Krondonian commented on How to (Not) Get Banned from Commenting

""please send us an email to tips at lifehacker dot com" @OwenCatherwood: I've never actually sent a banhammer request in, but then again I've never seen anything like the article you linked to, with all the 'bad' sites hyperlinked like that. So now I'll send in an email to deal with the last final unbanned bot/spammer."

"@AskTheAdmin: Self promoting, regardless of relevance to the article, it seems. I love how everyone has a permanent record of all their messages, so you know whether or not it would be a waste of time engaging them in discussion, and to prevent people lying. For the commenter in question, : [lifehacker.com]"

Krondonian commented on Five Best Download Managers

"I have DownThemAll, based on Lifehacker's recommendations, yet still stick with Firefox's built in one. I look at your guide, and then all the options...then decide it'd just be easier to go through and download each file individually."

Krondonian commented on HackCollege's Back-to-School Essential Student Know-How

"I went to one of the best schools (11-16 school, this is) in my area and many of my friends and schoolmates got drunk at weekends (or whenever really) during the last couple of years. Our GCSE's were the best ever recorded for the school (though that doesn seem to happen every year), with 96% getting 5 A*-C grades (national average is under 50%). Those intelligent to not overdo it should be quite capable of balancing drinking and work."

"I'm going to be looking for a weekend job, as I'll be starting college in a few days. The problem is, I can't find any companies advertising for anything less than part-time jobs in my area. As a result I'll have to end up going from shop to shop handing out CVs which I find terribly daunting."

Krondonian commented on 'Tactical Landscaping': Architecture for Games

"As the 'read more' section helpfully reminds me, the article about Guild Wars' Art Director I found fascinating. The extravagant styling of his concepts were quite incredible I thought, and it does seem like a perfect method of showing your ideas and designs on a large scale. As for Celestial Impact, I see the terrain deformation as a purely gameplay oriented design as it is."

"This is complete news to me. I'm coming to the end of an 18 month ISP contract, from BT (one of, if not the largest provider in the UK). I have a 5GB cap every month."
