Warning! Rant!

[kattahj]

My computer continues it madness - the most recent perk is that the help bubbles are written with font size 1 or thereabouts - it's really just a few squirly lines and that is all

You could sum up a lot of those under "people who think everyone should live and think the way they do."

[kattahj]

Yeah, or who just assume that everyone does. :-)

I think my favorite ones -- and the ones I agree w/ the most -- are these

[kattahj]

I don't know why I just typed all of this to you. You clearly understand where I'm coming from, but rants don't usually work against the people you're ranting about. How unfortunate.

Oh, I didn't rant to change anything. I just ranted to rant. :-)

[necessaryspace]

I find that once a person rants at me (not that you were ranting at me, you were just ranting and I read it), and it's a rant I agree w/, I go off on my own rant, which the first ranter agrees with. Then the rants take on a life of their own.

It's actually a fun process. =)

[kattahj]

It really is. Rants reproducing is more fun to watch than humans reproducing.

Homo sapiens is Latin. I think. I'll avoid being a besserwisser about it, because I'm not the least bit sure.

Re:

I actually went to dictionary.com to check, and yeah, homo sapiens is latin. Homosexual on the other hand is from the Greek, so same-sexual. *grins*

Re:

[kattahj]

It *is* rather confusing the way Latin and Greek interact in everyday language, so I can understand that people are mistaken. But when someone puts an ideological touch on it you'd think they'd bother to get it right. :-)

Add to the list of full blown stupidity - "How can you be a child psych if you have no children?" My answer was: "The same way a physician can be a pathologist without being dead." Morons.

Sounds like a reformatting will have to be done sooner or later. Your puter has a very incoherent behavior pattern tat indicates system meltdown.

[kattahj]

But reformatting was what I just did - wasn't it? It was after that all the problems started, apart from the slowness.

I reinstalled everything because last time Regan went possessed I went to the exorcist and that was what *he* did. But I probably shouldn't try to drive out the devils on my own - look what happened to the poor priest in the film. :-) Plus, it was Friday the 13th. I was asking for trouble.

At least Regan isn't quite as bad as my parents' computer just yet. When she starts turning herself on like theirs does I'll know to be very afraid.

You have to re-install after you clean all the old files and the system first. On a pc you go to C:/ and type "format", then you get a list of commands you have to say yes to. But remember to save all fies on another directory before you do this because all the files will be wiped out.

If you re-install before you wipe the old files you're asking for trouble. Friday 13th or not *grin*

[kattahj]

What I did was this: I moved some of the programs (not many, just Windows Media Player and a couple more) to my secondary hard disc. Then I started the computer from "install MacOS9" and installed that. Then I started from the disc that replaced all my programs, which wiped out everything that wasn't on my secondary hard disc.

Then I had to download the programs I hadn't saved and that weren't included in the original package - such as IE5. And that's when things got weird.

Before I did all of that, my only problem was that my internet connection and -download was insanely slow. Which it still is.

People who imply anything at all concerning virgins. Shut the fuck up you smug bastards.

YEAH! what she said. and more from me. Just because you are getting some, doesn't mean that you are any better, wiser, or cooler than ME!
FUCK YOU SEX HAVING PEOPLES!!!!!!
Bitter, no, not bitter in the least...

[kattahj]

Exactly. It's not like I asked for this to happen. I'm just a repressed individual who can't connect with... well, either sex.
