Today I learned that Best-buy bought Toshiba media center laptops require something like an hour and a half worth of uninstall-time, intermediate registry editing skills, and familiarity with sysinternals "autoruns" application to purge all the horrible invasive nagging crapware that comes preinstalled.
If they had given me a winxp media center edition install cd instead of a system restore cd, I would have just formatted to save time.
(and no, I didn't buy it, my department's director did ... and handed it to me to set up for him)
It's a nice machine, but seeing how craptacular it is was before I got rid of the unnecessary and excessively resource-hungry bits, I have learned a valuable lesson: never, EVER buy a pc from a big-box retail store, unless you've got time to waste futzing with the horrible stinking pile of software that will inevitably come on it.
And to think you need to pay $189 CDN for me to do this for you when in the store. Even then I don't do all of it. As well all laptops you get from us have that same problemOriginally Posted by complich8

That's kind of strange... If you buy a license to the software, it's nasty they don't give an install CD. Too bad you didn't have any install CDs from other sources lying near at hand. MS also takes much more than the media cost, if you get the install CD from them (although I paid only a fraction of what I was supposed to pay years ago due to a euro / old national currency confusion, but that's an isolated case).
Today I learned that there is actually going on a serious discussion on which way doors should open.
I don't get where you get your reasoning from complich8. If door would open inward, someone outside could just push it in after you "pop your head out". Hence getting access to the house just as easily as when the door opens outward. Though if it opens outward you get a small advantage when leaving the house in a hurry. Also if the door opens inward, it steals alot of space in the house. Maybe you have heard of a peephole. It allows you to see who's at the door without needing to "pop your head out". In sweden almost all doors have these.
@Kraco: If you don't want to get humiliated anymore, just pay attention to which side the hinges are on. If you don't see any hinges, pushing the door should be the way to go.
today...i learned to be more ..uhh..kind to my friends...during basketball..i yelled "foul" to one of them..after the game..they were not happy about it...i guess the way i yelled is more like "scolding" than telling them.. sigh~

While that is true to an extent, still if the door opens in, you can have it as a defensive shield between you and the trespasser, like complich said. It will be then a match of strength between you and the criminal. If it opens out, you basically have to stick your hand out of the doorway to pull the door shut again. And that's hard if the offender stands in the doorway.
Heh. Yeah, you are right. But that's not nearly as intellectually interesting than trying to figure it out by philosophical means!If you don't want to get humiliated anymore, just pay attention to which side the hinges are on. If you don't see any hinges, pushing the door should be the way to go.
Today I learned that my band actually exists on the swedish wikipedia:
http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/With_Pain
Markku - Guitar? Did he have Finnish origins, or is that name used also otherwise in Sweden?
Heh. Do you guys get a new name every year (even if it says you ended up with this one)? Well, if everything goes well with the demo, I think you will stick to the present one.
I don't know actually, never bothered to ask him about that.
True, true, well, when I joined the band it was already known as With Pain so I don't really know what's up with the constant changing of names. I think it's the best one anyway.
By the way if you poke around you can find other fun info, such as my old band and stuff.
Coolies~
