When Your Computer Gives You the "Working" Busy Signal...
— Ace

... do you guys go back and re-hit the button, but this time, adding a little bit of Authority in your button-push? With a bit of a Jaunty Nobleman's Flourish as you smartly bounce your finger away from the button?

Or is that just me?

Meanwhile, I think this is funny.

6 What "Working" busy signal? You got a Mac or sumpthin?

Posted by: Chi-Town Jerry at March 06, 2013 11:16 AM (f9c2L)

7 I rape the button. With my penis. But it's about control, not sex. The stuff that's left on the button when I'm done is authority.

9 Not sure, but I think computer manufacturers don't install "the button" nowadays.

Wasn't that just for DOS-based systems?

10 I think it's annoying to move between two blogs for content.

But I am irascible, grumpy and trying to work in between.

Plus, there are enough drones in this world.

Posted by: Jerry Jack in Jacksonville at March 06, 2013 11:20 AM (Dll6b)

17 Furthermore, here's why. What is annoying is today's internet construct.

There is social media, blogs, news sources, Twittter, etc

If I find someone enjoyable to read, I have to become a stalker.

It's unseemly, annoying and time consuming.

Posted by: Marcus at March 06, 2013 11:20 AM (GGCsk)

18 I am reminded of the scene in Speed where the guy pushes the button for the elevator a second time because hey that always works.

Posted by: alexthechick - SMOD. Now with extra taunting. at March 06, 2013 11:20 AM (VtjlW)

19 No I don't push the buttons any differently on a computer, but when a feed flow controller malfunctions due to a transmitter failure I have been known to push a button so hard it almost jammed through the control board trying to get the valve back open again.

After all, everyone knows if you push the buttons for manual control harder valves WILL respond faster.

I do the same thing, Ace. I know we're supposed to be grateful they keep upgrading our tech, but I've had PCs since the early 90s. Each new MS operating system gets more complex, requiring more memory and CPU, and the further we get away from it the more convinced I am that W2K was their best OS, and everything since then is worse.

Granted, 7 doesn't crash the way XP did, but sheesh is it slow.

68 I thought this was funny. Imadinnerjacket on the death of Hugo Chavez:

"I have no doubt that he will come again, and with all the righteous and the Prophet Jesus and the only remaining descendants of the servants, the perfect man, will come complete with peace and justice in human society, and kindness, and integrity will help."

Translation help: Islamic Jesus is not the same as Jesus Jesus. According to Islam, in the last days, Jesus will come back, acknowledge Muhammad's superiority, and help them kill the Jews. "The perfect man" is a reference to the Twelfth Imam, also scheduled to return on the Big Day.

92 Mostly I curse the dimwit programmers who violate the 1/10th of a second rule for UI thread responsiveness.

It gets even worse with multi-threaded apps that allow setting of thread priority to idle-time priority. Then the fucking idiots put UI interaction code on those idle time threads which can make the whole system seem unresponsive for minutes at time.

Threads in MS systems have been around since OS/2 1.0 back in 1987 -- you'd kinda think they'd have learned how this shit works by now.

164 Tip baskets for the hipster douchebags operating the cash register. When did this break out and why is it done? I buy a coffee at McDonalds. No tip jar. Usually no hipster douchebag opposite, handling the order and the transaction. But Starbucks? Oh, yeah. Fucking tip jar. Cashout line at the mid-mountain lunch joint at the ski resort? Yep. The cashier is some snowboarder bum with a tongue stud. Tip jar. Seems as if any of these cashier jobs hipster douchebags gravitate to, there's the tip jar. Six pack at the 7-11? No way there's a tip jar. Condoms at the Rite-Aid? Of course not. So what to do? What to throw into the little basket, with the hipster watching? What is the ironic thing to do?

Dear Sen Wyden,

Sure, he'll tell us. While you're at it, how about asking him to share his college transcripts? Since he's in a sharing mood apparently.

Sincerely,

251 I'll look. Is it for a Pentium Pro board?

Yep, IBM Server 315. I got the PII Overdrive in it (basically a 333mhz Xeon w/512k L2).

Freaking fussy machine though, I'm not gonna put much more effort into it. The only disk adapter it seems inclined to accept is an Adaptec 2940UW. All the Ultra 100 IDE cards I got gag it, as does a CMD SCSI controller. It likes the Matrox Millenium II though, which is good. They were a bitching video card back in the day.

We need to see more filibusters like this. And we need a tag team for the House also. And they should start filibusters in the house with something like "Boner is a backstabbing pussy, so we're going to filibuster"

269 Got plenty of SCSI drives.

I bought a slew of 9G ST410800's a while ago super super cheap. I love those. Small by modern standards, but they're built like tanks and last forever. If I got something critical I want to keep, I dump it on one of those and put it on the shelf with a CD-R as secondary backup. The only goink about that Seagate is they didn't conformal coat the controller board and dust will zonk them every year or two in an unclean environment. Just blow the dust off and they start running again.

270 I buy an SSD drive.

Dug out a spare SATA port, plugged this bad boy in, ridiculously slow 2010 comp (Intel RAID5 fails) has suddenly become zero-wait-for-anything comp. Windows actually loads faster than BIOS. This should save my comp for 2-5 years since I don't really PC game anymore.

Windoze seems to eat up whatever memory you have,

It's helping you over the fence. It will use every bit in the box.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefetcher

So MOAR ram, get an SSD (you'll hate going without once you've switched). If your surfing the crap out of it use Memory Restart for FF.
