The Bitching Thread

[Yukimura]

The girl probably did make the right choice for herself if she didn't have the fortitude to just ignore people on myspace. However she was young and might have grown out of it given time so I would also blame the parents some for letting her be alone when she was that vulnerable, but who would have expect their daughter to kill herself over myspace?

I have to give the girl props for hanging her self instead of doing something dumb like taking lots of over the counter pain killers though, if you're going to do something, do it right.

Pain killers work well, you just have to take them one at a time instead of trying to down the entire bottle at once.

If she always had such low self-esteem, struggled with her weight and didn't have any social skills you would think the parents would have kept a closer eye on her and her activities especially if she had talked about or attempted suicide in the past but most parents are completely oblivious anyways. She was a deeply troubled thirteen year old girl someone should have been looking out for her.

Did you read the article? The parents were completely controlling her ability to access her myspace profile.

Earlier today it seemed like my 1TB external harddrive had died. Wouldn't respond when I connected it to a computer, tried all three of my computers without luck. I figured it was dead as I was sure I heard a clicking noise. Upon trying to connect it to a computer it would just hang the whole system, and it wouldn't even show up. Tried doing a chkdsk, took 10 min without anything happening so I thought it had hanged that too. So I started looking for ways of recovering the data. After being mad about this for 5 hours, + trying several different disk recovery programs(all shitty), I randomly try a chkdsk again. After 40 minutes it found out the file type on the drive, and 10 minutes later it fixed the whole drive. Said it had a lot of errors with the fat table etc etc. I guess I'm too impatient -.-

Of course I'm happy that it works again, but what I don't like is that I don't know what caused it, that I wasted so much time because I was impatient and that I don't know whether or not it's stable now. Half filled up so it would suck losing it. Took a backup of important files now though. I have a test tomorrow, but I ended up doing this instead. Oh well.

fat32 is bad. 4 gig filesize limit. Lots of random issues. NTFS is a safer bet. Just for your future reference... next time, first thing you do when you get a new disk is format it ntfs, and you'll have better results.

If the disk has failed once, it's very likely to fail again. Check your event log to see if it's generating some sort of failure event ("disk has a bad block" would be a common one). If the disk has bad blocks, don't rely on it anymore ... replace it asap.

1tb disks are fairly new ... so that should probably still have a mfr's warranty. But you'll have to find someplace to store the data unless they'll cross-ship.


For my own bitching pleasure... because I'm a contractor, I don't get friday off even though there's going to be like two other people at my site. My desktop's too slow to play 720p movies even with coreavc, and my fileserver's too old to recognize my new 1tb sata disk. Also, AMD's lackluster product launch and Intel's ultra-high-end product announcements didn't bump down the midrange hardware prices at all on anything. Which is lame.

You like.....totally just jacked my bitch.

In other bitching news, I think my boss is more than just a little bit queer. Its kinda weird....and creepy.

Yes they were, but she neglected to check the account before allowing her to sign on. Next thing that was wrong was that she saw she was upset yet she left her online, didn't make her immediately sign out, not only that she left the house without informing her husband of what was going on. Once that all happened they left her alone and went downstairs to have dinner although they thought that the problem was resolved.

Anyway this could have all been avoided if she had just checked the messages before allowing her to go online. I understand that she was in a hurry, and everybody is human and makes mistakes. I guess she just never thought she would take it that far but whatever.

Suicide watch is a 24/7 thing trust me I know. I get that she wasn't under a "suicide watch" but they were obvious signs and I can tell you one thing for sure when you have a child that is that troubled, when they seem the slightest bit upset you never ever leave them alone.

People who call/email in to Tech Support are dumb. That is all.

Nokia is teh suck. My dad's phone has been sent in 4th time today because the repair centre hasn't been fixing the goddamned side camera button. I originally sent it in JULY 30.

I got out and buy some nail polish with my own money, and then it gets used by someone else.

I'm sitting at the computer, and smell.. nail polish. I then turn around, and lo and behold, my brother did his nails.. with MY nailpolish, the one I actually went out to buy because I'm broke and can barely buy anything without my mom >.> Finally! Something of my own, and he uses it.. I mean, it was an unexpected use, but man.. grr.

[Abdula]

My bitch. I can't believe she is bitching about nail polish.

Your Brother???? What???

[saman]

aaah seventeen. such a carefree age.

my bitch is also kinda girly, actually. my dad bought me new nose studs from his latest trip to pakistan. they're 22k gold, and they're very pretty. the nicest one is a little one shaped like a flower with white and red gems in it. so of course i start trying to put it in as soon as i get it, and lo and behold, the backing of it falls out of my hands and onto the carpet. it's now been three days, and i still can't find the backing, so the stud is pretty much useless now. very disappointing.

[Jaitne]

It's not girly.. it's just the principal of things.

[toonice714]

i didnt even know a thread aside from one piece and naruo manga existed.
My bitch is that it took me soo long to find a slightly positive outlet for my anger instead of bottling it! Awesome im going to be here everyday!

[Death BOO Z]

well, one of the guys from the army screws me over, again.

last week, he went home a day before everyone else, and left me with another watchpost duty (yep, I really like sleeping 4 hours a-night (01:30-03:00 & and 06:00-08:30)), now, he was asked by one of the NCOs to show up early to escort a shipping container.
now, he says he's not feeling well, and this hot potato falls onto me.
we are having a cultural\entertainment day tommorow, and now i'm going to miss it becuase of him. and he has done a similiar thing before.

In this situation you take a long sock, drop a piece of hard soap inside it, and demonstrate to him what being sick really means.

[Death BOO Z]

I know I'll regert asking:

What the hell do you mean?

[Yukimura]

It's a reference from the movie Full Metal Jacket. IT"S about a bunch of U.S. Marines in training together. One of them is very sub-standard and keeps getting the rest of the unit in trouble. So one night they give him a blanket party, which consists of everyone in the unit putting a bar of soap into a sock then taking turns hitting him with it as he's pinned to his bed by a blanket held across his chest. After they did this to the guy he became a model soldier...until he snapped, shot their DI in the face and then ate his rifle.

[Abdula]

Sean Taylor got shot that is just wrong.

I tried to show off my handy man skills in front of this hot chick at work today and ended up looking like an idiot when I blew a circuit breaker and delayed her from finishing her project. Now she's waiting around for the electrician to come fix the problem and I ran from the scene because I'll probably get in trouble for messing with the electrical wiring when I'm not properly trained. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
