The Cops get a Porche and then Pilots get a Microsoft Floptop to fly planes with....


Breaking Wind again...

The cops in NSW get a Porche 911 Careerer....

Well so fucking what?

One of my mates, his mildly hotted up 302 V8 - A bit of free breathing - by some porting, cams, extractors and a better carb - would leave the Porch for dead on the straights...

Absolutely wipe it out.....

The Porch's are not that impressive for anything, other than a bullshit price tag.

Though the Porch, he said, was faster around the corners...



And this - this is fucking horrible...

Running an aircraft full of people, with Microsoft's piece of shit hardware and software.

I don't like nasty irony - and I don't want to see bad things happen, but if only to spite Microsoft, in a fantasy kind of a way, I'd like to see the aircraft come plummeting out of the sky - and the people on the ground go to the flaming wreck and say, "What happened?" - "We don't know yet, the Microsoft Floptop did a blue screen of death and everyone is still waiting for it to reboot...."

I would not have Microsoft anywhere near a fucking house brick - much less an aircraft.

Almost one year ago, Delta gave the go-ahead for its pilots’ flight bags to be replaced by the Surface Pro 2, essentially turning the tablet into an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB). Fast-forward to today, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and its European counterpart, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), have given the go-ahead for the Surface Pro 3 to replace pilots’ flight bags, Microsoft announced.

The approval includes a special mount, designed for the Surface Pro 3, that will allow the tablet to connect with the plane’s computer system. The connection lets the Surface Pro 3 receive real-time data, such as weather, wind, and turbulence, among other things. The pilot would have the option to remove the Surface Pro 3 from the mount and take it home at the end of the day.


Microsoft’s announcement also included new software specifically built for pilots. The application, called FliteDeck Pro, allows pilots to compare their charts with real-time weather and gate information.

The FAA’s approval for replacing flight bags with Surface Pro 3 units should be a boon to airlines, as Delta undoubtedly saved millions of dollars per year in fuel and associated costs when it started using the Surface Pro 2. Now, it’s up to the airlines if they want to implement

I just get visions of this - Microsoft controlling an aircraft?

Lenovo and IBM - the Great Motherboard Replacement Scam

Image
I have one of the Lenovo G570 Laptops. And this is really BAD. The first one is that the management of Lenovo have done a deal with Microsoft to install an Operating System on the hard drive, and they claim that allocating a "special area" of the hard drive for recovery purposes, is a solution in case of "some kind of OS / Hard Drive problem - but they do not give you a copy of the OS on a DVD, to reinstall it, in case the OS crashed or a new HDD was needed etc.... This means that IF your operating system corrupts, your going to be facing a HUGE and BAD uphill battle to get a copy of YOUR operating system from Lenovo. No doing on the spot brain surgery on your own lap top by reinstalling the OS... No. This comes down to you not getting a 20c DVD with your operating system on it, Vs. hours fighting with idiots on the phone and days and or weeks waiting around for the DVD to arrive - if ever. With the amount of down time a non working laptop can cost you in losses, you may...

Das Keyboard - ARE junk. Here's why.

Image
The "DAS KEYBOARD" (or The "The Keyboard") is an interesting piece of both "allegedly" good quality switches, piss poor design, misleading advertising (outright bullshit) and useless customer support. The pro-model. The ultimate model. They do use the apparently remarkable "Cherry" (brand) key switches, who's main claim to fame is that although gold plating can be made remarkably thin and the contact area is remarkably small, the switch contacts are gold plated - which makes them corrosion and arc resistant, and they are rated to 50 million cycles - or so they claim - you know, "press any key" + "unpress" = one cycle. This is their main claim to fame - the longevity of the key switches. "Yes the Das Keyboard (by implication) will last as long as the switches it is composed of - that's 50 million presses of each of the key switches..." But is that the actual contacts are claimed to be rated for 50M cycles? Or ...

Rat Face got the Dislike button.

Image
This actually does look like her.. Awesome. Rat Face and I - our paths used to cross from time to time and the friendly greeting in passing, perhaps to be followed up with some small talk - was fairly frequently met with hostile silence... Like she doesn't have a butt plug up her arse, she has a cactus.... LOL Not my problem - have a great day. But of late, as I have changed courses in life, I have been dealing with WOMEN and men, who are into dealing with their family of origin issues - and some of them are pretty sane and grounded. Which makes her in comparison, look like an angry, nasty, dysfunctional cunt. Starting with the family of origin issues....  It's bad. And then examining the cultural norms of her peer group and environment - merely an extension of her families craziness. It's worse - in that there is way more of it, and everyone reinforces the lowest common denominator - the system of family and social dysfunction. Everyone reinforces everyone else, in staying...
