lissalysikanThe HD I "fixed" a month or so ago decided to retire. On Thursday it took 90 minutes to reboot after a windows update - would just stall every few seconds when trying to read. Sos I bit the bullet (bullets taste nasty) and got a new HD, removed all the others from the system, and did install of Windows 7 Enterprise as if a fresh puter. Here I is 15 hours later still doing updates just to the OS - hardly even touched installing programs yet (just little stuff sos it feels like a puter). 831 updates - over 4G of data on a itty bitty 6mbs net.
And everytime it says it is done I reboot and there is more updates that wasn't noticed cause they is fixes to the fixes of previous updates.
AND there is language packs (I does development things sos needs the languages stuff) which is HUGE cause there is about a million languages what is used often enough that peoples made language things for them. (Maybe I should add Baby-Speak - one more pack won't even be noticeable!) They are huge!
I has had time while waiting for things to do what they do to think about the way we does software development and has come to the conclusion that y'all is paying us to do the worst job we can do and there isn't much chance it's gonna change. Inefficiency is built in to the way software is maked, and the schools teach it as a fundamental part of design.
Is time for yet another reboot (I really need to get back to using linux - this reboot every time you make a change thing is for the birds, except birds don't eat puters).
Bye for now.

Microsoft is so F'ing stupid - collecting old updates and optimizing them is an industry standard. That MS is too arrogant to employ.
