omg Ugly hag – age 13 (Sasha 11 update)

ooh dear bleeched hair -  orginal post (my blog) no geek im sure.

Sally (the ape of the mind) will be muttering to the bananas about this,

Humans…..

 

Regcure from Paretologic the latest thing making microsoft usuable

I was called out of the monkey house to fix our professors computer who’s exploits have been mentioned in this blog.  We have computers running linux and so the world of windows vista always brings weirdness to our day should it invade it compared with our serene peace we have with our computers.

Vista and windows 7 needs a hefty computer to run it, and not that long ago professor  bought a new dell pc (ready for vista) and got mind fucked by all and sundry converting an old pc from xp to vista it’s detailed here (my blog).

Quite how he gets a machine that could run about 500 nasa spacecraft to the moon at once and make crawl is something i find amusing, this has been achieved in various ways including with three firewalls just so your ’safe’. This computer also connects via a router, so a firewall is not really necessary anyhow.

Its been a while since i have been to professors office, and the thing that was out-of-place was something called regcure which i had never even bothered to even know existed until yesterday (linux does not have a registry).

Naturally something else was not working and even HP could not get there usb thing to perform which he paid them to do and probably the reason for the visit.

So this state of the art pc was running v e  r  y  s l o w l y, no programs were loaded on startup, networking and getting a wired dhcp lease took three minutes, loading any program took forever while i assume regcure did some paranoid checking

Heres the thing while im sure regcure is probably ok but  in the hands of an idiot its downright dangerous – and professor had no clue how or who and why installed it for him.

So after fixing a few things and installing sp2 on vista, and the hp device, i decided to dump regcure.  five or ten reboots (we don’t do that in linux very often) later and networking was faster, and programs actually loaded more speedily.

So to all you microsoft windows experts (yes even you msm computer  magazine journalists*) who think windows is amazing please don’t recommend this crap since i have to clean it off.

Its not my job to worry that a reg entry without anything in it (eg blank) is my problem, i didnt compile the crap and so i have no idea if i could break x.exe by doing so. Take the hp device drivers if they are so bad for vista that they need constant re-installing then any Microsoft operating system is doomed to be fucked about by ‘experts like regcure’ that make windows o/s’s a joke where it works it’s a bloody miracle.

Humans.

* windows 8 needs pimping

processed food – why humans are doomed.

google ‘fake cheese’ – if you did not then fake cheese is oil based (that’s fat).  Guess who uses fake cheese – frozen pizza’s – why ? well its cheaper than milk.

Here’s the thing.If humans consume processed food aka the ‘ready meal’ then it is not good for you.

This is darwinisn in action, while a few might be rich replacing milk based products with oil cheese it does nothing for the idiots who buy crap pizzas except speed up that medical condition.

Its scary that people buy this stuff after it will leave a bitter taste in the future.

Television updates (things of note)

merlin rather witty.

Fringe is back (my blog) for season 2 quite like that, also Dollhouse is back (my blog). That seems to be a bad call not knowing if its a crime/sex or brain show yet.

Surprisingly Merlin (bbc) season 2 has a script that is witty and has enough knights of camelot stuff that should keep both young and old amused

Moving into the realm of the ‘not ready’ the remake of v is in deep sewage, and caprica which i have mentioned here is  also having a production holiday if it gets restarted is a matter of some debate.

The marketing of flashforward seems to be interesting let us hope that it will be less awful (my blog) than heroes was with its ‘lost’ association being promoted.  My hopes on this one are dubious being that mr braga who did the time travel episodes on star trek tng (theoe mostly sucked) wrote it.

bluetooth sucks.

802.15 should be a joy, not just for windows users, or mac users but all users after all its a standard like ethernet, alas this standard has been gang raped by Microsoft.

Bluetooth for cavedwellers makes short range radio communication between say a phone and a headset/computer and mouse etc. Easy ! no wires in theory

Alas some fuck head at bluetooth.org decided that linux compatibly and bluetooth was bad, no doubt theres some pressure from the microsoft to do this so i am very late to this.

It took me about two days of googling for something that might work with linux in the form of a usb adaptor. Thats encouraging isnt it?  Lets face it they don’t want people like me using it.

Lets face facts, LInux supports bluetooth, but the people who certify it, dont like to advertise that it does work with Linux.

Seeing as i have become an expert on this crap by accident, i note that windows users also have problems with bluetooth being a number of software libraries and the like, plug and pray time anybody.

Clearly buetooth is not a standard deserving to computer support and it should go back to its ghetto of mobile phone users.  I hope that a better short range radio standard is invented and will make bluetooth devices obselete.

I did get bluetooth to work,but i have no intention of embracing this microsift crapware

Its a shame that inteligent people at Bluetooth have fucked it up.

Indeed i could have bought many adaptors to try but thats not the point why should buying something so basic require so much research. if i had windows then the problem of the right software come to play – not easy for anybody

idiots.

Romeo & Juliet at the globe

I like Shakespeare, and the Globe theatre (london) is special, Recently i saw Romeo and Juliet.  I keep going back, and i got a ringside seat right at the front while swords and the like crossed.

The rest of the monkey house enjoyed it too.  It is energetic, ‘youthfull*’, bawdy in a great way and probably cleans up all those cleaner versions of this story we know something about.

5/5 bananas.  I recommend a vist and that you see something or other there.

* as the play specs Juliet is 14, not aged 60

Waterboarded at the dentist

waterboarding: my dentist offers this service

I visited the zoo’s dentist recently.  Its been a while as they kept cancelling the non urgent appointment for over two years.

I don’t particularly like my dentist which i pay for (not nhs) the privilege of not liking at all, anyhow that’s another story.

Anyhow does my dentist waterboard me well with a running waterpipe in the mouth on while cleaning the teeth.  How cool is that my dentist offers the gimto bay experience.

I also got stuff (dental product) in my eye. Good isnt it ! and this is a true story.

Maybe i should find another dentist ?

Symphony No. 7 “A Toltec Symphony”

Is this (wiki) and a peice of Philip Glass i had not heard (music does not go off).

Surprisingly it was a prom event that the bbc advertised just before the wire (my blog) in an attempt for the bbc to look like it trying be a ‘hip’ public service broadcaster and as usual the bbc broadcast it on the radio (it was not on tv) or i would not have known about it.

There was a screechy violin peice as well by him that i never did like too.

I suppose that is my prom event of the year quota used up (last years).

You have to feel sorry for the classical music snobs at bbc radio three having to endure Philip Glass i mean what is the world coming to. However kudos go to the proms organisers for not doing the usual awful peice of old classical music that only the snobs like and own all 70 versions of it on cd already.

Expect a rant about compact disk music soon too.

world of warcraft – so what.

bananasfk - slaughtered many times in 15 minutes

Following this (this blog) i decided to try world of warcraft (wow). Even the demo is a HUGE download in a number of steps comprising:

• 1.6 mb [downloader]
• 4.7 gb [orginal download]
• 631 mb [all updates from here down]
• 41 mb
• 56 mb
• 5 mb
• 11 mb
• 880 mb
• 8 mb
• 15 mb

To be honest that’s a couple of days wasted and i might have missed a few small updates from that list.

So when the ‘play’ button appeared rather than the download client you wonder what precisely is so good about this game and thats what the demo does by default.

After a century passed ….. yawn, and a prince kissed me (humour) and woke me up – A character was created and once in the game in a basic area the game starts – but you have assets and once you kill a few wolves I was thinking so what.

Then some douche bag gamer kills you, also the spam messages are horrendous in game that after kill 3 that it was time to abort the trial account and delete the gb in space on the machine used for this crap.

Blizzard who run warcraft  have a problem, if an uber gamer loves wow then they cater for them alone, if a newbie say like Bananas in the Falklands finds the people in the game retarded then they get no money from me.

Ok yes i didnt complain to a game master or read the forums but wow (or its users) suck.  The loss is theres and not mine.

If anybody can tell me why world of warcraft is good, or justify its basic players behaviour i observed then please do so below in comments.

Fairtrade is a minefield

great bananas, but the catholic preist raped all my children

fairtrade means a ‘fair’ price to those who produced x rather than corporation y. It’s a brand name with a ’cause’.

All kinds of ‘ethical’ can now be bought, but what is galling is when the churches decide to get into this act

That strikes me as being evil, ‘ethical’ does not mean you have to a member of a certain church to start with and the churches are beginning to sully fair trade schemes for example traidcraftshop.co.uk, how does that differ from say the original fair trade providers and who keeps any of them honest.

Whatever your views on ‘fair trade’ goods tea/coffee/chickens means just that – i do not particularly want to eat a catholic chicken, because that might be as bad with catholic priests raping the new farmers children and since they are recruit to the faith is that fair?

Fair trade has the beginnings of an image problem, when the churches get involved.

One might argue that the church is now a corporate entity and thus as evil as say the Nestle corporation is to source producers.
