My fucking soul
Finally bit the bullet and spent a bunch of money on a new computer. 2,000,000,000 hertz or so of processor, and the thing I would call the processor has two processors in it! 2 gigabytes of RAM, half a fucking worldbyte of storage, and a video card faster than my entire previous computer, with its own god damned fan (I hear that's common nowadays). Plus a DVDR/W. Jesu fucking Cristo!

I even sold my soul and invested in a CDR of Windows XP so I could play a game or two. I haven't used MS Windows since Windows '98. XP is like NT kind of, except with commercials all the fucking time. And there's some sort of snakeoil Gen-U-Wyne thing going on to let you know if you have a pirated copy or not, which strikes me as strange, because for one, who the fuck buys windows? And for another, I god damned well know it's a pirated copy. Who the hell doesn't know when they're installing pirating software? I suspect some sort of sleight of hand going on in Redmond. Yeah, I know, which sleight, which hand?

So I spend all this time borrowing a CDR and putting together this nice new system with some kind of fancypants case made out of body armor that fell out of the back of a truck bound to Iraq or thereabouts, and the thing keeps crapping out on me. During the install. After the install. When I'm running around ruins killing giant antlion things, surrounded by zombies, with just some kind of retarded magnet gun to defend myself. So many times during the install, I decided to flash the system CMOS (which helped). I have a fancy Abit KN9 thingamaboard, and the CMOS was version 1.0. I didn't even know they made version 1.0 nowadays. So that helped. And shutting of ACPIC or APIC, or whatever the fuck it's called, that helped. And I did all sorts of driver reconjiggeration, but still the fucked and dreaded BSOD pops up every 20 minutes or so, and now and then it forgets I have a fucking keyboard, and the middle mouse button (it's a god damned wheel!) all the sudden quit working in my Windows Internet Explorer Firefox Mozilla interbrowser fuckthing.

God, Windows is depressing. The Media Player is the ultimate in depression. I've been using Loonix for so long as a desktop I forgot that using Microsoft products feels like watching network TV back before Tivo. It's like listening to 107.7 the BONE non-stop. It gives me a headache. I'm sitting there, half-buzzed, trying to listen to a radio webcast of a great band (and one thing is for sure - it's easier to do all this multimedia, viral commercial crap on Windows), and being in a half-buzzed state, think it'd be fun to fuck with skins and whatnot, and all the skins on the sites I find are all somehow linked to something you can buy - the Batman Returns skin, the McDonalds Urbanburger Skin, the Britney's Unmentionables skin. Ugh.

Yeah, so I sold my soul and put windows on my system, and thought for a couple minutes it might become my default OS, but I forgot I gave my fucking soul to the devil years ago, back in high school, as a joke, so of course windows won't work for shit, and now I'm going to install Redhate Loonix and see if maybe it works better, or if the kernel panics continue, perhaps at least manages to log a little bit of what happened, since windows has worthless shit logs, and loves expressing everything in fucking hex codes you have to look up on Microsoft's website. And that always creeps me out, because I know they know I yarrred their OS, and they know I know they know.
