Journal Monty Worm's Journal: Cheap hardware rant

Journal by Monty Worm
Okay, so I went out and bought this new PC. I built it myself from parts, so it was about 25% below standard retail. Nevertheless, I'd like to register the following complaints.
  • Why doesn't Linux support the embedded NIC on my motherboard?
  • Why does the PC reboot spontaneously occasionally, mostly after running a perl script that opened a lot of socket connections (say 300 or so) to the internet for downloading stuff?
  • Why does my (GBP£2.00) mouse malfunction to the point of non-usability if it's in direct sunlight?
  • Exactly how does SUSE Linux Pro need 7 CDs anyway?
  • Why won't CmdrTaco let me see the exact number of my Karma anymore?
  • Why do people moderate my posts down as over-rated just for someone else to moderate them back up again?
