Dear Darth #5

Heyo Darth.  Ok just a quick note today.  

The ongoing nightmare continues, of course.  I know you "have foreseen" all of this, but I'll give you the skinny just in case you missed the shit going on with my computers here somehow. 

Anyway, first off I got a brand spanking new Acer Aspire 7736Z.   Great machine!   Unfortunately, for some reason, after I installed Visual Studio and other development software the display driver decided it was time to do the old Flicker Trick on me.  It was fine before, but now it goes into a variety of different colors, and/or half the screen gets rubbed out with those silly little gray lines and stuff.   Yay!  That's so fun Darth!  Yay!  Thank you!!   It's so great!  Now I can spend another few days trying to figure out what your software did to the display driver!  Woohoo!   This is how I love to spend my time!  How'd you know!?   Oh yeah... that whole Force Vision thingie.  Ok so can you "Foresee" what I'm doing with my middle finger right now?  

Thanks again for all the great work you do!  Please keep it up.  Not enough suicides among the developers quite yet.   Not to worry, I'm sure with a few more releases of the "new and improved" shit, you'll drive all development over seas where incompetent morons of various nationalities can do all of your shining bright development for you, and be driven mad by the defects in your products instead of us.  That will be much better.   Well, a lot cheaper for you, anyway.   So best wishes with your Galactic Conquest and all.   I'll touch base again when something else exciting happens.   Won't be long, I'm pretty sure.

Sincerely, your fan,
Darth Developer

  1. Oh hey Darth. That was totally my bad, man. I'm really sorry to diss you out like that when this issue had nothing to do with the display driver or your software. Hehe. It was the cable. Just a wierd case of very suspicious timing and I figured it wouldn't be out of the question that somehow on Windows 7 installing Visual Studio 6, an old version of software to begin with, might effect the display driver. Why not? We've certainly seen our fair share of totally weird inexplicable issues, so...

    But anyway, yeah, pretty sorry about that. Um, so don't take it the wrong way, and stuff. I mean your shit still sucks and all, but this time it wasn't your fault. So I forgive you. Don't pout.
