Bazza Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Re: The cranky thread And I wonder how much of that is due to the whole "You wanted Quicktime so we forced iTunes on you as well" thing. I'd say a good few percent. Remember iTunes is loaded on all shipping Macs. I reckon Apple should split the two technologies. If iTunes does require QT (and I reckon it does) then you also install QT. QT I reckon can exist without Itunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enforcer84 Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Re: The cranky thread I updated about a week ago and it stopped working. So I un-then-re-installed it. Then I un-then-re-installed Quicktime. Now iTunes opens but does not play and QT does neither and I can't even uninstall it to try a fresh start or go to a previous version. Whenever I run the uninstaller it blinks off less than a second after I start it and then nothing. ...so I hate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliceTheOwl Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Re: The cranky thread The plumbing in this building has to be the worst-conceived EVER. They have all the stuff from the back bathrooms branching off . . . with one branch just capped off! Then it goes something like 8 feet down underneath the ground, only to go back uphill to meet the sewer system. All of this wouldn't bother me half as much if they weren't fixing it TODAY. While we're open and everything. Imagine, for a moment, a building with 30-year-old idiotic plumbing. Now imagine the stench of said plumbing being opened up. The warehouse guy is VERY grateful he's anosmic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Re: The cranky thread That's funny, because the a/c in our office is broken, and it's nice and toasty in here. It's tolerable for now, but by about 2pm it's going to start to smell. At least our own a/c in the datacenter is still online. Maybe I should move in there, I'm on wireless after all.

archermoo Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Re: The cranky thread You haven't seen our data center. Heh, very true. I can usually find someplace though.

Cancer Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Re: The cranky thread Bah. One of the Exchange servers had been down for about 2.5 days, came back up about 45 minutes ago.
