Well,
Not only did the old Motherboard not support my CPU, but I just discovered that my Hard Drive has a problem booting on p4 architecture... stupid thing.

I am sending it to my Dad in Tassie, buying a new drive for him to ghost the data across...

I read a few of the replies to this article,
Some people say yes, I agree, most seem opposed.
I wonder why that is?

Well, I agree. If copyright law was to be used as the basis for protection, perhaps we would see PAF stickers on software boxes and CD cases as companies decided that the patent system should also apply? Good that they do, I for one am entirely sick and tired of trying to live with software that does little in the way of real function, and makes a mess of my windows installation because the people who build this stuff don't care about my system. Well, I care about my system, I care if my data is secure and uncorrupted, I care every time my system crashes because some tool decided that an array could be left unterminated and boundless as it soaks up stray bits of data and eventually reaches for RAM that simply does not exist!

I say make them show us what they are telling our computers what to do. I do not like the idea that software, which is designed for online use, can contain instructions that relay information to someone I do not know, without my consent.
And I will 'put my money where my mouth is' people. I am no uber-programmer, in fact I am very nearly pathetic; but I will release the source for my projects on release as part of the package in the intall.

I have software that I will be posting on my website for free download, details will be available then.

I also invite constructive comments to the code itself. But I really think this dood is right, and I intend to at leat try to actually DO something about it instead of just warble on.

thanks for readin'

Journal Journal: Today:: A conspiracy is at hand

Journal by yakkmeister on Monday November 25, 2002 @07:44PM

It has recently come to my attention that a conspiracy is afoot in the streets of the Gold Coast. Regardless of what time I awake and leave my house to arrive at work on time, it seems that congested traffic allways slows my approach, and inevitably causes me to be late by 5 - 15 minutes. As I see it, a different path each day should alleviate the problem, but no! It does not matter even what path I take as the congested traffic still finds a way to hinder me!
