SPAM random annoying things

Not having a PS/2 keyboard and being unable to access BIOS with my USB one so I can go in and tell it to recognise my USB keyboard on boot.

You need a modern motherboard!

When you leave your PC on overnight downloading something large and you come down in the morning to find it at the log in screen. Then when logging in you get a message saying "Windows installed updates and restarted about 10 minutes after you went to bed olololol"

Fucking stupid thing.

 

[caLLous]

Yeah, that's infuriating. It's possible to get it so it only automatically restarts VERY occasionally (for massively important updates) but I've never been able to stop it auto-rebooting altogether.

One solution (for me) was to use JDownloader. You can set it up as a service to start on boot, so it will start doing it's thing even if the computer reboots and you aren't logged in.

Though if you f*ck up your computer, not my advice, suggestion, fault

I bloody hate it moving past June 21. Almost half past seven, and have to stick the lights on. Couple of months back, 9:45 pm it was still light.

I fecking hate Windows updates. I'm sure most of them you don't bloody need. Turned mine off. I don't use IE. Why do I need to download a patch for IE6 ?!

 

[cHodAX]

Yeah it is gonna be dark here in the next 20-30 mins, fucking annoying.

 

[Zarjazz]

Why do I need to download a patch for IE6 ?!

Because you'll open a Word document that'll contain an embedded Excel spreadsheet that'll open an automatic help popup that'll start an IE6 ActiveX component to a website in Russia, hacked by some 12yr old kid in Romania who will then steal your credit card details to buy sherbet.

Just sayin'

Fucking stupid thing.

Especially when you have left the volume up too high on your speakers and the start up tone wakes you up at 3.00am and you wonder what the fuck it was

Also uTorrent restarting on reboot, but peerblock not, fuckers

Engineers who set up corporate Linux images to be SO RIGID AND UNCHANGEABLE that you're basically fucked if you do something unprecedented like getting new systems for your own infrastructure. Then, when you ask the engi dept to change the image so your new hardware will actually work, they're "busy" and will do sweet fuck all unless you force them to.

Example: a system *must* have EMC SAN disks or the image *will not work* -or- a system *must* have *only one* internal disk, or the image *will not install* -or- a system *must* use DHCP, or the image *will not install*. Jesus wept

I hear ya. Uber-Standardisation. The production-lining of IT so you only need a few good staff and a shitload of monkeys, instead of a lot of good staff and a few monkeys.

It's why I've jacked in the technical side. There's just no joy in it any more.

 

[TdC]

tbh I am not even *in* infra any more man, I'm cloud (hence my title). the reason I am messing with this shit is *because* there are no good people about, only the fucking monkeys.

if the vision actually worked, I would be home at 5pm every frigging day. instead I made myself stop at 23.00. so much for the production line.

Not at all, most finnish women couldn't give two f*cks. Then again finnish women don't give two f*cks about most men

Not surprising giving the offering of men available in Finland

This has probably been mentioned before but... when you buy a DVD perfectly legit 100% authentic and then you cant skip the "YOU WOULDNT STEAL A HANDBAG!" or "jims friend thinks hes great, dave is losing all his friends" crappy piracy adverts, if i have actually paid for it then clearly i am not the intended audience

i understand having them in cinemas for example, or even on rentals but for fuck sake the whole point of DVD is that you dont have to fast forward through the damn adverts you can just click "top menu" and skip all that shit

 

[Raven]

Or the bullshit adverts they sometimes have for some random shit film that you have no intention of watching.

Not as annoying as when they install root kits on your PC when you buy legit software/CDs like Sony/Ubisoft do!

 

[Deebs]

Having a daughter, who you would pay, to iron your shirts only to be told by her she cannot fucking iron. Fucksake.

 

[Deebs]

Oh and seeing as I am on a roll, paying to take a piss in a train station, what the fuck?

 

[Gwadien]

I can iron, send me them my way.

and I'd do them for free, for my dear daddy deebs.

[caLLous]

Writing a massively complicated batch file to rip episodes of a tv series from a set of bluray discs archived on my hard drive using eac3to, then merging each video and audio track back to an mkv with mkvmerge, then running said mkv files through handbrake... and then realising I could've just used handbrake to access the titles on the disc directly, neatly removing steps one and two.

So are you assuming that because she is female, then she should be able to iron?
