XP committed suicide
« on: March 10, 2008, 12:48:19 pm »
XP demolished its own MBR on me last night. Fortunately, I had GRUB installedon my ubuntu disk, so I was still able to boot after a little tinkering. I am convinced this is part of MS's evil plot to make me run out of activations, thereby forcing me to give them more money.

<Blaze> in my butt

I've seen that happen a couple times.  Every time, it happened while I was playing WoW, and I got a bsod from my NVidia driver.

Here was a way to fix it:

I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!

Our species really annoys me.
