Ignore: Stupid Windows

[danielwang]

Ok, I've had enough problems with posting this thread already and I don't want to post another mundane technobabble topic, so here it is in condensed form.

I am sleep deprives. It is the third day of classes. I am living on 3 hours of sleep a day. I skip breakfast.

I install new ATM NIC card on production server Aryo. Aryo does NAT routing, so I setup NAT with the new interface.

Hey look! RPC is giving 7301 error and crashing! When it crashes, Windows automatically reboots, so I have to screw around for an hour with TightVNC and SSH to figure out that I have to start the service to abort the shutdown to use MMC to reset the recovery options.

According to MS Website, this bug appeared in Win2k. They said "Wait for next service patch". I am using Windows .NET Gundam with latest patch. I run Windows Update. I even defrag.

WHY IS A YEAR OLD ERROR STILL NOT SOLVED BY MS?!?!
THEY PROMISED THEY WOULD LAST YEAR!!!
HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!

Welcome to Aryo
Windows .NET Generic Patch August 2003
root@aryo:~# net start rpcss
"Going to start RPC, preparing, Starting RPC, started RPC..."
root@aryo:~# shutdown -a
"You canceled a shutdown. Yes, you did. Of course"
root@aryo:~# net start w3svc
"IIS is calling in sick today. Please try later"

HOW LAME!

There there, DW I understand your pain. I hate M$ as well, but I appear to have sold out and become an XP whore .

They havn't fixed it because:

Bill Gates is a liar
Bill Gates is a thief (those two are mutually inclusive)
Bill Gates is lazy (hell, he doesn't even deserve capitalized forms of address)
bill gates is not interested in anyone else but himself
bill gates is not interested in anything besides making money and avoiding the courts.

Unfortunately, they have probably forgotten all about that particular problem, seeing as M$ in general and Windows specifically has a tankerload of bigger problems (that they aren't fixing either). Hell, the staff at M$ don't even trust their own software, why should anyone else?

And I'm sure you know all that because you've known him for quite some time. Infact, you've been close buddies for a few years and then he killed your dog, you XP whore

People hate Bill Gates because he's successfull without their approval.

Oh yes, I'm sure Bill Gates is the complete mastermind for all the evil that goes down on Microsoft.

Uh huh.

100%, completely his job.

I mean, it's not like he has people hired to not do the work for him. He must run that entire company himself.

Yep, sure.

I believe this goes for a "Don't hate the player, hate the game."
