Installing windows 7 upgrade. We need a "Things that burn your soul thread".

I would make that, but I don't got nothing to not start no threads with.

Installing windows 7 upgrade. We need a "Things that burn your soul thread".

Whats wrong with Windows 7? I love it so far.

Edit: so far the only issue with Windows 7 I have is the stupid aero theme having this preview thing when you hover over items on the task bar and no way to turn it off, so I just use the Windows 7 basic theme.

Residual stigma from Vista?

I haaaaaate this weekend.
Party at my house. My brother and his father are staying over.
Tomorrow is a poolparty... I HATE PARTIES(of the social gathering type.).

I'm sad that I've managed to spend two days straight sleeping and playing Silent Hunter III.  It's a cool game, and I'll make a thread for discussing it with the other people who've been turned onto it.  But it's a simulation of naval warfare, meaning you spend a lot of time watching the little dot that represents your ship move around on a map.  And that's what I've been doing.  For probably a combined 18 hours or so.

It's fucking Mother's Day weekend, I've got two final exams on Tuesday to study for, and all the personal stuff I've been wanting to do for years percolating just below the surface of my "work-ethic" sense, and I manage to spend an entire weekend literally staring at a map watching a fake boat sail around.  I'm an unrepentant videogamer, but I'm fucking sick of waiting my life away like this for stuff that doesn't matter to anyone anywhere, including myself, when I have so many other things to be doing.

I just keep finding to ways to utterly waste time, doing absolutely nothing for myself except make it that much clearer what a waste of time my life is.  How do I let myself keep doing this?  Why am I always ready and willing to convince myself to do something completely pointless instead of absolutely anything else?

Windows 7 itself is fine, It's just the upgrade install that is a pain in the ass.

It wouldn't upgrade from the RC (half expected, my fault really), "Clean" custom install doesn't actually delete anything, Multiple crashes during setup, and I just can't get the internet working so I can activate it. Not to mention all the games I've probably lost or the download-murdering patching.

I actually don't mind that preview thingy (Aero peek?), I've gotten quite used to it. I've also started reflexively flinging windows to the edge of the screen.

When the world floods and we're all in submarines, you'll sing a very different tune.

[Jackrabbit]

Yeah. It'll be "Oh God Waterworld is just as bad in real life, oh God".

Anyway, I'm sick. Blargh.

[Aqizzar]

Yeah. It'll be "Oh God Waterworld is just as bad in real life, oh God".

We can only hope so.  What better way to ride out the apocalypse than in a junkyard hobie-cat?  Poor Kevin Costner, he tries so hard, and yet we never notice.

Also, you guys rock.

We exist to cheer you up by imagining ridiculous scenarios and referencing terrible movies. It's all we know how to do, actually.

[Aqizzar]

As cool as the quote with Toady accidentally predicting DF 1.0 to be ready in 2012 was as a signature, it was way too long.

[Jackrabbit]

A-HA.

Soon this forum will be mine!

Or rather, the bit of the forum that takes up about half an inch of the screen and disappears when you tick an option in your preferences.

This is happening in florida. And in Louisiana.
