Shell: Quality gas, not so quality infrastructure

tek818 · 11-01-2007, 04:32 PM

Had a nice laugh while getting gas the other night. I suppose the BSOD is something we are going to have to get used to seeing in everyday life now that everything is so Microsoft-ized

HA, there's a page dedicated to BSODs in everyday life, I don't have the bookmark though. You should find it and add that. On a similar note, have you seen the commercials for the new ford vehicles with voice activated software powered by... microsoft?

UncleWede · 11-01-2007, 04:49 PM

So we're getting closer to the day when that old "If M$ made cars" routine is going to become a reality. Man, I better take my bicycle and get it tuned up.

no, I haven't seen that yet. I am actually very surprised with the quality of the voice recognition in Windows Mobile 6. Just hope those fords don't get blue screens... we could expand the acronym to F.O.R.D.W.B.S.O.D (found on road dead with blue screen of death)

It's true in many respects, the ONLY difference between any fuel you buy is the additives put in after its taken out from the regional pumping station. Other than that all gas is the same. ONE set of pipelines transfers gas all around the country, all the oil companies use it and the gas they put in is NOT the same gas they get out.

Truthfully all of them. Sure some are probably slightly better. But there isn't that one good one.

Since when is gas political? Because mindless idiots always bring it up and bring up bush with it? Ok, but i am not one of them. I am merely pointing out a fact.

Nah I get the point just felt like throwing that in there. Otherwise this thread is kind of boring I see crashed machines all the time.

Another lie is that if it were running Apple software it wouldnt crash.

That particular Stop (7A) is probably a RAM problem. Your particular Stop message will tell you why you got the BSOD.
