when computers

Ok maybe it's just me, but computers really twist my tits alot, with their meaningless error messages and constant bitching with program conflictions. I've had it up to here with them. So unless you are Gazaa and know practically everything. Then I suggest this is a thread to let out all your frustration and anger and share it with other pissed off computer users. This may sound like a dumb thread but I think it's neccessary.


Nico.

Welcome to my world Nico

I hate it when I get a error and check over what it could be then check over verything else spending loads of time searching for a solution then realise I had the right solution in the begining or it was bollocks to solve in the first place and I overlooked it.

I'm sorry. Your taking it pretty well though.

Yeah, that annoys me also.

Also, there is one PC at work, which really fucks me over. Everytime it's switched off, I start it up and it won't recognise the hardrive, and when it's reset again, it recognises it fine and boots perfectly.

I know it's something to do with either the motherboard or HDD, but when the components are only around a year old, it's just a waste of money buying new components to fix a problem, that doesn't make much sense.

And not to mention, when apps won't start up, and the next day they mysteriously work again.

PC's cost so much money, sometimes.

MAC's are seriously hot right now.

The system engineers, managed to integrate the best of Windows and Linux into the OSx. So stable, and based on a Linux kernel with an amazing GUI. Not to mention how incredible the actual PC's look, and the quality of components used.

plus their gonna have intel chips soon, so that'll make them faster

It won't make them faster at all, the G5 manufactered by motorola I believe, is an exceptionally fast CPU and can run 2 times faster than the registered clock speed in comparison to an Intel with similar specifications.

The move to Intel processors, was so the Engineers at MAC can make the OS more compatible with the x86 architecture.

More for further popularity of the MAC than anything else.

Yes indeed. Compatability issues are blown out the window, it's all about using the "most" well known chip sets.

And I agree with you gazaa. Something doesn't work on your pc and you fuck I'm gonna have to spend ages to figure this shit out or get some gay ass techy in who charges £50 an hour, then the next day your turn the pc on and everything is A.OK Image file not present in the recovered backup Problems like when xp doesn't recognise the hd coz of some stupid bios settings really get in my bonnet.

Well, I checked the BIOS of that computer and everything's set up fine, and configured to all the hardware seemingly fine.

It may be a fault in a chip of the HDD, or a bad connection to some resistor.

I'm just glad, I learned my shit, so I don't have to call a stupid ass tech, who hasn't a fuck what he is doing. I've proved a few techs wrong in my time, and there is nothing like making them feel stupid at what they do Image file not present in the recovered backup

But anyway, I am getting a little fedup of the industry, some days I walk in to find the server not booting, or the uplinks not working for some godforsaken reason.

Horrible when you have to re-network 20+ computers Image file not present in the recovered backup

Although its rare

Ah the joys of networks. Shall be a blast next week...I think not. Image file not present in the recovered backup

Haha.

You know, Linux networking is a breeze, the Windows 2000 computers here always seem to have some network problems, with conflicting IP's and what not, but using Samba on a Linux system, then connecting to a Windows share and maintaining a steady connection was a piece of piss.

If the real estate application would work with an emulator on Linux, or be available for Linux, I'd seriously migrate the whole office.

But work is work.

Yes gazaa you just be thankful you have work. I've been all over Glasgow looking for work and I can't even get a job as a back street scrubber never mind anything that I'm remotely interested in. I havn't had a proper night out in weeks due to being severely skint. Image file not present in the recovered backup

Jobs are dwindling, I rejoined the job I left, as I couldn't even get a job in a fucking bar.

Not to mention, I don't want to work in a job with no future prospects, except not earning enough to pay rent.

And the other problem, living in a third world country, the need for techs is non existant.

So basically, I am fucked unless I move from this country, or start mny own business, and make it work.

We can get some of the loved members and buy a house together and it would be like that "Real World" shit on MTV. Would be fun.

Since when has Spain been a 3rd world country gazaa?

I have £2000 coming through for my criminal injury compensation then another £600 in installments for my first years student loan, so money won't be so bad, but I don't wanna blow all that just for weekend antics, so a job is a must and fast.

Recently my wireless connection for the computer in my room fucked out, so Ive been using the comp in the kitchen, no privacy.

When I looked into this, it said my connection was fine, that it was functioning right.

It wasn't, or I'd be online. Wtf.

Took 2 months to have it fixed and I still dont know what the problem was


Computers blow.

Some people class it as one. Technically, we are a couple of decades behind America or the UK.

Don't want to be the smartass here but Mac OS X is based on BSD Unix and not Linux.

Unfortunately Microsoft has a big advantage, it's installed base. Everything is on Windows in the corporate world. Well, except those very big databases and services which run on mainframes.

At home, one will find that many of the software he would like to use won't work on anything else, but Windows. Not to mention MSN video conversation.

I wonder when the x86 based Mac OS X will come out and get cracked to run on an average PC, how many home users will switch to try it. Maybe this will remind Microsoft that they have fucked something up.

Really? I wouldn't know, I've not been before. Greece has come along a big way in the last 15 years, it's no longer a tiny country surrounded by commies. Everything is commercialised now. I would say it's just as advanced as mainstream Europe now such as the UK. 15 years ago my dads island didn't even have traffic lights now there is bill boards for vodafone in every single street.

Thanks for the correction, I'm not completely familiar with the MAC OS myself, but I do know it's based on *nix. *BSD is more stable, so I guess that's a good thing.

Regarding the "cracking" of the MAC OS to run on the average home PC, I'm afraid this has already been done. The MAC OS can be "emulated" to run with any standard x86 processor, but only OSx fanatics have bothered.

Yeah, MS do have a grip on the base applications that power corporate and home applications, but the day when Linux starts to hit your average joes desktop is coming nearer. Many applications have been ported to Linux, and emulators for Windows programs are available and running exceptionally well.

Not to mention, *nix is grasping some 80 percent of the server market, and KDE and gnome are becoming more user friendly and appealing.

Like everything though, all applications have bugs. It's inevitable, and I'm sure if for example, OSx or Linux had even a 50 percent desktop market share, they'd be as vunerable as Windows.

Computer Messages are dumb..I always get this message when I turn off my comp, and it means nothing. my comp works fnie and im too lazy to look at the problem..the only time I will do something is when it doesnt let me do something I want

Word

I stopped reading since I didnt understand what was being said... like 6th post... lol love the fact vince did too he;s a n00b with comps...




I am to before u take the piss but he thinks' he's great nuiggrooo
