Icarus's blog: "Hurts to watch."

[Buggery]

How quickly one fly becomes 2 dozen.
It all started with a new blister on an old callous.
And in a very short order of time
I find that

my DVD drives have ... deleted themselves.

Oh, not just uninstalled, but directories and all traces of them ever functioning removed.

Cool, I mean, its not like these are drives that Dell sold to me and consumer reports later stated had massive issues and potential planned failures.

*swats the fly that just landed on his arm*
Did I mention I do that shit all the time when people aren't looking?

Anyway, I was looking up Kendo in kansas, and that just produced a sea of kiddy karate and Steve Fu bullshit mcdojos, so I quickly reminded myself why I was teaching myself.

Then came the single fly in my filthy trash ridden home.
It is NOT warm enough for this fuckery, but ... it was a sign of things to come.

I'm now ... staring at my fucking DVD drives, swapping disks and seeing the lights come on hearing the motors churn
but no evidence of any communication between device and PC.

I'm glad for two things.
All my shit is digital download now anyway, but also

one day I know that I will put my dickin the toothless mouth (because I cracked all their teeth out with a hammer) of Bill Gates, the CEO of Dell, and the swarmi bitch who burkaburkaballaballa fucked me the last time I called Dell tech support and paid $50 for nothing.

(I site when I specifically said I would NOT renew my warranty for a fee without having the exact service I wanted performed, it was not, I was still billed. I wiped my ass with the invoice and sent it back after finding repeated instances of the hardware failing and being reported as a planned failure by consumer services.)

Okay, part of that -might- be hyperbole.

But I sure do love my $100 lazer bricks in this plastic showy shell.
Now to rip my own god damn music and play it on my PC's speakers I have to
rip it on my PS3, upload it to my PSP on a USB cord
and then transfer it from my PSP onto my computer?

... what the fuck.

God I hate PC's. The internet and viruses may have moved out of the open waters, but PC ownership is still a constant state of buyer beware buggery.

Bullshit. If this happened at a bike store, or a deli, I would at least speak to a manager and get a written apology. Even if it was a god damn form letter.

This is WHY American business is hecho in mexico, located in india, based in Kumar, proud to serve you (for your convenience) from Zaire now.
With a robot dungeon funneling into auto-oblivion.

I remember back when customer service was just that
a fucking service.
When customer satisfaction wasn't a figure or a fevered delusion.

So
what I guess what I'm saying is

fuck your corporate bullshit, I'm going to go make my own fun, my own fucking rootbeer and smoked meat?
