WHY???

[old.Cortex]

It's time for my bi-annual moan about RaNdOm ShIt...

1) Why can't I get ADSL/Cable yet?
2) Why can you get 2 x 19" monitors for the price of a 22" one?
3) Why does ICQ use 12MB of memory?
4) Why have I got a US keyboard at work?
5) Why does my KVM switch: a) make an annoying 'bleep' when I switch between boxes? b) lock my mouse up 1/5 times?
6) Why does my wage packet 'disappear' right at the beginning of the month?
7) Why is Alt-0165 "¥"?
8) Why isn't there a SuSE 7.1 installation ISO available?
9) Why is some company producing body colour matched hydraulic leads for under the bonnet of an Audi TT?
10) Why do you lot care about any of this?

WHY???

That'll do....... I feel much better now

1) Why can't I get ADSL/Cable yet?

Cos telcos make far more money off per minute call charges - this flat rate stuff really impacts bottom line - its is therefore in their interests to procrastinate as long as possible until forced to do so by a regulator

2) Why can you get 2 x 19" monitors for the price of a 22" one?

Tube size limitation - I remember reading about this somewhere before - too technical to remember but essentialyl 19" wus the limit of conventional tube technology or summat

3) Why does ICQ use 12MB of memory?

Cos its a lazily written POS, I wus on another board arguing about this - programmers have gotten lazy due to the power and speed available to them - years ago they had to work with small resources, so were far more adept at squeezing the most out of this. Most stuff today I reckon could be produced at half the size and about twice as fast if properly optimized.

4) Why have I got a US keyboard at work?

dunno

5) Why does my KVM switch: a) make an annoying 'bleep' when I switch between boxes? b) lock my mouse up 1/5 times?

whats a KVM ? Not summat to do with Kde?

6) Why does my wage packet 'disappear' right at the beginning of the month?

I can think of many reasons

7) Why is Alt-0165 "¥"?

dunno

8) Why isn't there a SuSE 7.1 installation ISO available?

dunno

9) Why is some company producing body colour matched hydraulic leads for under the bonnet of an Audi TT?

Because car freaks would get annoyed if something they can never see except when the bonnet is up was not colour coded exactly to the car - same reason people cooo and aaah at those geforce cards with the blue pcb - I mean wtf do they do with them - play games or leave them on their pillows ????

10) Why do you lot care about any of this?

I dont but I am very bored atm

WHY???

because........

That'll do....... I feel much better now

Oh what, they were rhetorical questions, ah well....

7) Why is Alt-0165 "¥"?

dunno

cos some idiot made it so

8) Why isn't there a SuSE 7.1 installation ISO available?

dunno

some questions shouldn't be asked

9) Why is some company producing body colour matched hydraulic leads for under the bonnet of an Audi TT?
