Uncrashing

After another relatively slow night at work.. I have yet another brilliant IM conversation to share, one of our customers had invented a new troubleshooting step… ‘uncrashing’

RP says: new term used…..”I had to uncrash it”

Dan says: what’d they do? delete windows?

RP says: no she said her son made the computer crash so she had to uncrash it

Dan says: she deleted her son?

RP says: no

Dan says: She should have..that would prevent future son crashings

RP says: lol

Dan says: this command, will uncrash any windows based system you run it on:

Dan says: Format C: /U /Y

Dan says: 100% Guarantee, no windows crashing your computer after that

RP says: lol funny

So.. while we’re still trying to figure out how this lady ‘uncrashed’ her computer.. we did have a good laugh about it..

I also got sent this link at work.. which loads up a pretty funny flash animation about SuperVillans and Linux…

Bad Night?

And you thought you occasionally had a rough night when you were out. This guy managed to go out and get shot by police.. not just once…but twice during the same night! My favorite quote from the article:

“He refused to show his hands. Then he turned abruptly at the officer and the officer struck him in the same bad shoulder,” Turner said.

So..apparently the first time they shot him, he didn’t learn his lesson and surrender.. Now.. I may not be the world’s quickest learner.. but I’m thinking, that if a cop had just shot me, because I wasn’t listening to him.. well.. to me, that’d kinda be an attention getter..maybe make me stop what I was doing and listen to him.. but.. I suppose that could just be me…
