Comment I like to name things (Score 1) 722

I let my wife names for our computers. I name all the hard drives after colors, and Wireless networks after people in history also name my VM's after numbers, and if I dual box anything I normally have the 'other os' linux or windows side named 'evil twin'

The two main networking issues I've run in to since XP, that I also run in to with Vista and Windows 7 are as follows.

The wireless zero configuration service that controls the computer's ability to control the wireless adapters will stop running, even if you reboot the computer the service will never start again unless manually tell it to do so. The 2nd issue is that if the windows computer has two or more adapters that one of them will randomly be setup with the IP address of 192.168.0.1 even if the internet connection sharing was never turned on, changed, or even setup on the computer. Both issues I've run in to countless times working tech support for the last 6 years.

Comment just so much (Score 1) 330

hate is the word I'm looking for, I'm sure of it. Tile's really? easy app management right when you turn it on, I mean what kind of computing power am I going to require to make it run that fast and that smooth? something tells me it's going to take a huge chunk of money out of my wallet. If Microsoft wants me to love it even a little they'd make it able to fun on a 1 ghz processor and 1 gb or ram, just like being able to run things on a tablet with much less programming power but they won't because they'd have to rewrite everything again and that would cost them too much money. So they make this really annoying internet face they have on their windows 7 phone for their new OS, I've been a long time PC lover and I know I'm going to hate this one if they don't start fixing shit that's been broken since XP.

I'm going to have to agree with you, This is a private practice that the doctor is doing not a huge company. not to mention that whole doctor patent confidentiality. It's not like they are going to go to a physician's website and complain about how rude you were and to never let this person to other places.

People are mean, I always see more bad reviews than good ones and you really can never tell people to write good ones, the few people who have good experiences normally never need to share that on the internet. but if someone feels they've been wronged in some way by a person or company they feel it's their job to tell everyone on the internet how much the place 'sucks'

I mean I hate it when I go to a store and they give me the receipt and say 'give us a 5' when you do the survey. If it's my review I'm going to be honest about it not give 'em a 5 just because they told me too.

Comment Re:Without PSN (Score 1) 386

I agree with this statement. I understand the need for social networking and wanting to play games with for buddies, but I'm old school I'd rather invite people over and have a social gathering and play video games rather than us all be at our homes and link up and play. I hate the fact I've got to plug in my ps3 in to the internet when I've got to play this game or that game. and the fact I can't even play some of the games I've downloaded now because it requires me to sign in it just bull crap. I don't want free games, I want a system that'll work with out their system's dependance on it.

Comment A simple fix (Score 1) 309

I call it a simple fix because my wife who doesn't know much about computers or any kind of electronic device can use this fix. on her Android 2.2 phone I put on 1 of the home screens the connection manager Widget that lets her turn off the wireless and/or Bluetooth and the ability to turn it back on. I tell her when she's not downloading stuff or playing online games to turn it off because of this DHCP issue. When the device turns off the wireless it stops requesting the old IP address and it stop responding to it like normal when you turn the device on it requests a new one and it works like a normal device in a DHCP network. I haven't tried this on any other devices but she's using the Evo Shift by sprint.

Comment Because it knows all (Score 1) 395

I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to talk a computer. First off it would know everything, and if it doesn't know the answer it there's the internet at it's ports to find the information. so what would be the point in communicating with one other than to have it do something you can't? I wouldn't find it weird that a computer could one day be teaching my kids in school but to realistically believe that you could have a conversation with one and it would respond in a non robotic response is laughable, in this day in age and I'm sure most people would be afraid of it. Hollywood doesn't paint a pretty picture for computers that can talk back And for most of the people I talk to on the phones who seem to have never grasped that computer are going to be around and you need to know how to use one or your going to get left behind I'm sure would be afraid of anything they can't comprehend and would love to just blow them up and go back to the stone age.
