Short rant. I was doing some work earlier. Then out of a sudden, my PC BSOD’d on me. So, fine. I can always continue my work on the Ubuntu laptop (though by then I had lost about 4 hours of work) while my Vista machine scans itself for errors.
So I booted up my Ubuntu machine, and fiddled with the wireless (since the physical on/off button is faulty). And as I was turning the WLAN radio on and off, guess what happened?
Yep. Kernel panic. Hah. If I had a Mac, I’d use it and probably kernel panic it too. Then it’ll be three in a row.
Whoever says Linux pwns Windows and Mac for stability is plain bullshitting. I use both Linux (I’ve got 3 versions running - Xebian, YellowDog and Ubuntu) and Windows (because Macs are too bleeding expensive) frankly, it makes no difference to me. My Ubuntu crashes as much as Vista (though I’d say Vista crashes less).
Well, what can I say. My aura? LOL.
Update: Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Not even 24 hours later, my 2nd AC adapter died. And this AC adapter is BRAND NEW from DELL! And it’s NOT EVEN 1 month old!!!! FUCK! I’m the king of electronic malfunctions
Cool?

As much as we’d blame Microsoft for things going wrong - the fact is that they know what they’re doing.
The BSOD was caused by nVidia’s graphics drivers. DrWatson readily points fingers at nVidia. Ubuntu didn’t point fingers (or rather, I just turned it off)
Is it like a test of geekiness to know what a BSOD is?
BSOD = blue screen of death?
I spend wayyy too much time online.

yep. BSOD = Blue/Black screen of death.
Just like RRoD (Red Ring of Death) or AMODS (Acer/Asus Monitor Death Syndrome).
I’m sure no one knows AMODS. But cfgt will surely remember. As will many others who have worked with Acer and Asus computers only to have their monitors die on them (I’m typing this on an Acer laptop)
Hi, I found your blog on this new directory of WordPress Blogs at blackhatbootcamp.com/listofwordpressblogs. I dont know how your blog came up, must have been a typo, i duno. Anyways, I just clicked it and here I am. Your blog looks good. Have a nice day. James.
Maybe you should do a karma switch with cfgt or hashie.
