Double whammy
Filed under: Hatred — nobrainer @ 3:45 am

My freaking internet is down and has been for 3 days. And now my laptop has become petulant (strangely after a discussion about throwing computers from windows).

UPDATE: On the upside, the ISP provider’s shit is no longer all apart, and my home internet works once again. Also I was finaly able to reboot my computer and actually get logged in.

The bad news is that my hard drive is almost certainly failing. I’m backing up everything to a USB hard drive as I type (on a different computer I should note).

If this is indeed a hardware failure, it will be the first serious error I’ve encountered as an owner of PCs. In the past I witnessed the failure of many of my friends’ Compaq hard drives, but the apparent failure of this drive from Dell really pisses me off. Fortunately my 5+ year old 0.333 GHz Dell is able to run as backup while my 15 month old 3GHz laptop founders.

If that was the problem, I would not be upset.

[...] No, my grades aren’t the issue here. Instead I have had another hard drive failure, nearly a month to the day after the last one. [...]
