Tiger Moth Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 So often, in the past I could do something without problem but, now some asshole has decided that I need help. So, now what was simple is interrupted by some stupid question or suggestion or even worse some action because some dick head has decided that I am not really trying to do what I am actually trying to do. As a somewhat related example, it used to be that I could start a MS document with one click, now it takes 3. OK, there are optilons I can turn on and off to prevent some of this stuff. But, the dick heads that implemented it think they know best so, they do their best to hide the options. Fuck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Hi, Fully agree with you. Any Microsoft crap seems to be the worst offenders. Word tends to 'help' you by guessing what you want to do. More often than not though, I do not want the 'help'. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALHOLK Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 MicroShaft are absolutely the worst offenders. An American software engineer once explained to me that the best programmers don't end up at MS, they tend to go to places such as JPL and Lawrence Livermore AWRC.

cavanami Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Microcrap (and other USA companies, such as General ELectric) fly in plane loads of 3rd world engineers to their campus near Seattle. They pay these people low wages compared to the "normal" USA wages. In the end...you get what you pay for...BUGS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-.-.- Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Try to use open office (www.epenoffice.org) to start. Almost identical to Microshaft office and free. I have recently started using comodo free firewall and it is catching my computer trying to connect to the Microsoft Genuine Advantage thing daily. Other firewalls did not catch this. Just the thought that my machine must connect daily to Microsoft is unacceptable. I have gone in the last few days from not liking Microsoft to hating Microsoft.........
