Why does Windows Update insist on telling me I need to restart...

[ghostsofgiants]

When I keep telling it I'll restart later. If I wanted to restart I would do it. I don't need a fucking reminder.

1. But you might be an idiot!

[ghostsofgiants]

2. Microsoft really needs to impelement an "I'm not an idiot" button

[billyskank]

3. That's the first button an idiot would press

Microsoft try to make idiot-proof software. I'm a computer programmer, I know something about this. You shouldn't try to make idiot-proof software; it's like an arms race between you and nature. And you can't win: nature will always make a bigger idiot.

5. Lousy idiots, fucking everything up for us non-idiots

[Call Me Wesley]

7. Press any key ...

[ghostsofgiants]

8. Where's the Any key? I see Alt., Ctrl...

Boy, all this computer hacking is making me thirsty. I think I'll order a Tab.

[Call Me Wesley]

14. I'll take an Alt option ...

I'm updating too. :eyes:

15. I just upgraded Slackware on my laptop

:)

[Call Me Wesley]

16. Great,

you mean the one with NPTL support for improved thread performance when using a kernel with NPTL support, the latest KDE 3.4.2 and XFce 4.2.2 desktop environments?

Cool stuff! :rofl:

17. I like the penguin

:)

[Call Me Wesley]

18. You have a penguin

in your laptop? Well, since you're a programmer, we IT professionals just abuse you - and your penguin! :rofl:

[billyskank]

20. You're one of those "power users," aren't you?

:P

[Call Me Wesley]

27. LOL!

All the power I can get!

[billyskank]

29. Now THAT was a fucking operating system

Windows 3.1 running on DOS 6 on a 486DX/33. Kick ass!

[Call Me Wesley]

30. Talk about power users here ...

The first one I had Windows installed was a 386/16. 1 MB RAM, 1 MB harddisk.

And this was after 10 years without having/needing a computer. My first one was a Toshiba laptop and a IBM AT. 256 Kb RAM, no harddisk (couldn't afford one), and DBaseII. That was fun!

[billyskank]

31. "640K of RAM should be enough for anybody"

- Bill Gates, 1984 (legendarily).

[Call Me Wesley]

32. I remember this one.

What also was funny that I was running from every computer store to the other because I needed DOS on a 3.5 inch disk (for the Toshiba laptop). None of the stores had seen it before and thought 5.25 inch disks were the ultimate. This was around 1984 as I recall.
