The results will be very consistent with this, no matter what the app actually does; a lot of the time it will work as usual, a lot of the time it won't work right, and doing something that changes which bit of random data is feed will cause it to switch between not working right, and working fine.

That the problem was so streaky is one of the strongest proofs that this whole thing was a bug: a deliberate rate change would have affected everybody in the same way, not made a huge mess that affected everybody in a slightly different way.

But otherwise, speaking in general the gullibility expressed by many people in these forums amazes me. I honestly wonder if a lot of people here believe every last thing the media tells them; because no one ever, ever fudges the truth, obscures facts, lies, or puts a spin on things, right....? This mindset seems incredibly fatuous to me.

And yet it is strongly endorsed. I can say nothing but "wow" as I back away slowly.

It looks like they are listening and even paying attention but when they finally talk...it's all about purple ponies and fudge licking leprechauns.

And yes, thanks for not giving up on this -- I'm guessing it probably wasn't easy to track down, and for a while I know that I was wondering if it was all just a horrible streak of bad luck...until others started mentioning theirs...and posting about them...and then posting hard numbers! So it's great to know that there's a fix on the way soon!



That's what I was thinking, too -- if there's a way (however goofy) that we've all somehow inadvertently lowered our drop rate, might there potentially be a possible something that people could conceivably do to theoretically increase theirs? (Yeah, four "maybe's" in the last half of that sentence. )

Thanks again, Synapse -- you rock!

I'm sick of the lowbie red-side content..

Does this make me evil?
