  • I hate Microsoft.


    It's really hard to believe that a multi-billion-dollar software corporation would implement things in very stupid ways. This morning, I was trying to copy whole CDs of MP3s to my laptop hard disk, then there was a CRC error in one of the files. What happened next? Windows Explorer tells me there's a CRC error and the whole fucking copying stopped!!! I mean, c'mon, Microsoft can do better than that. Why don't you keep on trying to copy the other files and just give me a list of files with CRC error at the end of the whole copying process? It's not hard to implement and I don't see why copying was not implemented like this in the first place. It's so much more logical than to let the user drag-and-drop tens of time to try to copy tens of folders or even each file individually when CRC errors occur.


    Another thing that pissed me off involves my MP3 collection again. At the beginning of the summer, I had to go back to Hong Kong to work, so I burned my whole MP3 collection onto CDs to bring with me. What happened was that, in order to look at just the folders that were left, I simply pressed Delete with the burned folders selected. Windows, being extremely smart and user friendly, sent them to the Recycle Bin. And guess what, after burning several CDs, the Recycle Bin filled up to 2 GB and started to purge my deleted folders without fucking warning me!!! God damn you, Microsoft, if you're gonna limit Recycle Bin to 2 GB, at least fucking warn me before purging stuff.

    I hate Microsoft.
