I hate Windows. I really, really do
Feb. 28th, 2008 03:19 pmGod-damned fucking Windows. God-damned fucking iTunes. Like my iPod really needed to be fucked up some more.
So I'm sitting here in the campus laundry, on the day before our rediculously early Spring Break, waiting for either 1. my clothes to finish washing, 2. my math prof to email me back, or 3. inspiration to strike, when I decide to hook my iPod up and move some stuff around. (Also listen to some MCR!)
This little annoying Windows-bot pops up and tells me my iPod needs to be reformatted to match Windows, and would I like to let iTunes do this now, please? The last time I thought that was a reasonable suggestion, I ended up accidentally erasing my entire library of over 1100 songs. So, I politely clicked the 'Fuck off' option (okay, Windows doesn't have a 'Fuck off' option, but it really should), and went on my merry way.
Now, it decides it can't recognise my iPod, and so there's no way to safely eject the thing, and the iPod won't turn off or respond to the emergency restart sequence, so it looks like I'll have to wait for the stupid thing to run out of battery (which will take just long enough to be annoying) and try again. FAIL.
And people ask me why I run Linux. THIS IS WHY. Because Linux doesn't do this to me. The only times my iPod has ever gotten fucked up were because I stupidly exposed it to Windows. Windows is like the syphilis-ridden whore of the computer world, sneaking out its tentacles to infect my poor, innocent iPod with its fuck-wittery. /rant
In other news, I have never seen campus laundry so full. I know it's because it's the day before break, but every. single. machine was taken, and the detergent dispenser was out, so I had to go over to the other side to get detergent, and (breath) now I'm done whining. I think.
