ok…well i’m going to start this off very Maddox style here by composing a list of things that i believe technology could get rid of entirely because either A, we wouldn’t notice them if they were gone, or B, they’d simply make our lives much easier if they had never been in our lives in the first place. This will be on on going list as the industry produces more shit everyday for our overpaid, American pocket books, or in retro spect, all the crap that places like Best Buy will convince you to buy with that “bargin” computer you just bought because you can’t afford anything decent since you’re job got shipped over seas because our leadership and economy in the country sucks ass.

anyway…finally…here’s just a short list i’m going to rant off the top of my head that should just fuckin’ go away in general:

1. The PCI Bus – the little bus we all have on our boards what was touted with pride in the late 90’s as your gateway to expanding your PC has developed into such a crock of absolute shit i’m ashamed i’m in an industry where we didn’t think of PCI-e sooner. Can anyone explain to me why it is that on a standard ATX motherboard there is generally 5 PCI slots and you can only feasibly use 3? I mean, c’mon, people in this industry are often looking for ways to cut the extras and exspeciallly the price. If it weren’t for PCI-e i’d be screaming at the industry, c’mon you sons of bitches, you have a money saving, process reduced, beautiful idea right in front of your fuckin’ face. Think about how many PC’s in the “budget,” or as marketing departments would prefer to call it “economical,” areas typically come with no AGP slots to “cut costs,” um…i’m not real sure what the costs are to the actual manufacturing of motherboards are, but wouldn’t it be a BETTER idea to get rid of the first PCI slot that you simply CAN NOT fuckin’ use? I mean, unless you want to use PCI slot 1 and receive a nice fat IRQ error because this ‘bus’ architecture that PCI is based on natively shares traces between many slots, including the AGP bus. FYI for everyone, PCI slot 1 and AGP ALWAYS share the same traces, hence why when you use a AGP card it is a terrible idea to use PCI slot 1. Forunately i can’t bitch for too much longer as PCI-e will replace both the problematic PCI/AGP bus. I really hope someone at Dell will read this and realize how many god damn Dell PC’s i fix everyday with IRQ errors due to thier incompetance of these commonly known facts. Hey Dell, i know this doesn’t matter now with PCI-e, but you stupid fuckers installed a hell of a lot of Sound Blasters in PCI slot 1 which not only causes IRQ conflicts out of the fuckin’ box, but also does little for your poor ass excuses for cooling which practically sufficates any referbished peice of shit video card you put in the AGP slot. Which brings me to my next point, which at this point i’m wish i put at number one on the list…

2. Dell – Dell = Hell. Hands down the worse fuckin’ company in America, and i’m speaking about ALL industries, or at least the ones i care to pay attention to. Dell can just die as far as i’m concerned. “Dude, you got a Dell.” D00D, did you enjoy that free headache you got with your $299 peice of shit? Okay, i suppose i should explain myself, well honestly this blog only has enough room to barily scratch the surface as to how many reasons and ways i hate Dell Computer. Yes, i hate dell because they can produce a product at a much lower cost than i ever could, and Yes I hate Dell because they have better marketing than i could ever afford, and Yes, i hate Dell because when it’s all said and done, they suck.

3…this list will continue
