reason enough to hate Windows
« on: 23 April 2003, 08:38 »
take a good look at my Windows crash log for the past 2 days (including today)

http://shawnserver0.tripod.com/pics/crashlog.html

this is Windows XP Home that is doing this.
my computer will be good for about 2 weeks then it just turns to shit, crashes all the time. my brother was making a music CD and the computer crashed on him, he was so pissed off he nearly threw the mouse against the wall.

Just hope that none of the hospitals use windows for their computers. There is an article about doctors and nurses using office over at

http://office.microsoft.com/assistance/2002/articles/healthcare.aspx

At least the only thing the article talks about is using office to write up stuff.

Yeah sure, use Windows in hospitals.

"So doctor, what's the diagnosis?"
"Fatal Exception 0-- AH FUCK!!!"

Did you HAVE to use a pic for the log?  Some of us still have dial-up!!!
Specifications are for the weak and timid!
You question the worthiness of my code? I should kill you where you stand!
Indentation?! - I will show you how to indent when I indent your skull!
What is this talk of 'release'? Klingons do not make software 'releases'. Our software 'escapes' leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.
Klingon function calls do not have 'parameters' - they have 'arguments' - and they ALWAYS WIN THEM.
Debugging? Klingons do not debug. Our software does not coddle the weak.
A TRUE Klingon Warrior does not comment on his code!
Klingon software does NOT have BUGS. It has FEATURES, and those features are too sophisticated for a Romulan pig like you to understand.
You cannot truly appreciate Dilbert unless you've read it in the original Klingon.
Our users will know fear and cower before our software! Ship it! Ship it and let them flee like the dogs they are!

It is probably Windows XP Home installed as an upgrade to Windows ME or Windows 98SE. If you want a stable XP try doing a clean install of XP Professional(preferrably) or Windows XP Home if that is all you have(XP Home sucks in my opinion). Update your BIOS before doing the clean install if you haven't updated it recently.

*gasp* but that would mean finding the real source of the problem instead of blaming Windows and just living with it.

Unfortunately that is very hard to do, for three reasons.

1.) Nobody has access to the source code.

2.) The registry is a goddamned mess compared to simple text files Linux uses.

3.) If the problem is with a driver, you are SOL, due to fact #1 (most drivers for Windows are proprietary)

zombie. the version of Windows installed is Windows XP Home OEM. it's one of those CDs you get cheap when you buy a custom computer at a computer store. no junk ware on it (like eware, AOL or any other crap).

Windows was the first program put on the hard drive and the BIOS was not fudged with.
