Technology, as I’ve previously mentioned, tends to fuck me over.
These three technological fuck ups happened all within a week of one another:
1st (Quite a while ago, My 360 decided that it would only emit sound) I fixed it by smacking the side of it. I was most pleased. “Perhaps more things should be smacked, more often?”; I thought to myself. The Xbox proceeded to break again 3 weeks ago.
2nd: My laptop, a week later ran in circles. Turn it on, Black screen would appear followed by several “Critical” errors (Which I promptly ignored) and it would just restart itself. My laptop became a 700 dollar Drink coaster.
3rd: My desktop promptly followed suit with the other two, and similar to the laptop, became a coaster. I proceeded to blame Bill Gates for all three issues, being that Microsoft was behind each of the OS issues.
I went out, bought a 25 dollar magazine that came with Linux install discs and installed it onto the desktop and the laptop. It went well. The laptop was up to full speed, and the desktop was slower…. But worked.
I lost interest in my Do-It-Yourself computer fixing. The desktop managed to start bellowing SMOKE. FUCKING SMOKE! In a great haste, I pulled the plug on that one.
The laptop still works though! And I’ve got this to say about Linux:
WHAT THE FUCK? Not only did it blow my desktop up, but more importantly, I can’t use a single thing from windows. It scratches it’s head at MP3’s, Video files, DVD’s, Youtube, Flash files, .EXE files TEXT files, and pretty much anything you actually require to use a computer.
My Drink Coaster has become even more useless. Of the small group that make software for the machine, few give any hints of how to use it, many just state:
“Copy and paste this into a Terminal (Like a text document) and you’ll be able to do something rudementry, like unzip a file:

;akjfn;glknapflkgnapofvhna;pobhv;afjohgpqw;krfngb[awkofnhgipu
It’s really that easy!”
NO. It’s not. It’s fucking impossible. I thought I was alright at computers until I was forced to use Linux.
Seriously. Don’t even consider Linux. Stick with the old, untrustworthy windows. There is ZERO reason to think this is a good idea. You can’t play games (Not without some super secret file that, like the zip file, is in some stupid code). I downloaded windows XP. But guess what? It was in .RAR!
Fuck Linux. Fuck Bill Gates. Fuck this Beer Coaster. Fuck XBox and fuck technology.
This has been an informative review of the impossible OS Linux by Tom The Pom.
I’d like to point out that Linux are British. I still hold them with contempt.
