Upon seeing the sentence, “And you’re right about the lame lameh (I can’t do the accent),” most people would read it and forget about it, but I could not. It’s supposed to be lamé, and anyone with a ten-key pad can do accented letters even in a “lamé” OS like Windows. I tried for a whole day to forget about it, but nope…I had to log in and tell Mick that he can indeed do accented letters and special characters, and how. I even provided a helpful link to a list of the most popular codes. Still, my OS is superior (hee) because “compose + ‘ + e” makes sense; it looks like what it’s supposed to be. Even Å¡ wasn’t hard to figure out once I realised it couldn’t be a comma because that’s for ç. Does “Alt+0233” make sense for é? Of course not, but it’s hardly a surprise…
Sample Linux kernel error: “kernel panic – not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)”
Sample Windows kernel error: “STOP: 0x00000077”
Like everything else in Windows, the useful stuff is hidden by obscure codes so that anyone who didn’t write the goddamned thing (and even some people who did) can’t do anything MS didn’t think they’d want to do, or fix anything that goes wrong. An idiot OS, for sure!
