OK I bought and upgrade of Windows 8 Pro (form Win 7).
It all went well, installed and after restart (hour of my time) it said: "Sorry could not install, fuck off".
Ok, so I tried another time, again nothing. So what the hell lets try clean install. Backed up everything, formated the disk, installed like the charm.
"Please activate the copy" - it said. OK, i inserted AGAIN the valid key. "Sorry, you have the key just for the upgrade and I know you made a clean install, so fuck off and thanks for your 30 euros."
WHAAAT?
So again I installed (clean) Windows 7, then I did not bother with activating with my original key. Upgraded straight away and in worked like a charm.
This process overall was so big pain in the ass that I spent half a day with it...
Why I could not simply:
a) installed it without any fails for the first time - obvisously huge error by Microsoft and I am not the only one who has problems with upgrade.
b) If I suceeded with the clean install - it should have asked - "Ok so you made the clean install of Win8 but we trust you have a valid Windows 7 so please look on your computer and write us your key of WIn7 first. We make it valid and NOW insert your bought key for Windows 8"
And this company is worried of losing customers that they go for apple or google solutions?

Social media... my ass
OK, so when it was "in" to be on social media I used to be on facebook, last.fm, twitter, linkedin and even on some other waste-of-time places.
Couple of months ago I deleted myself (I went straight for the option to be deleted, it was bit tricky, but I found it) from facebook and I dont regret or miss it any since. Then it was with twitter.
Now I am only at linkedin (where I from time to time click on the button to accept the connection) - what is THEIR business model? :o) We have 100 million (or more) users who twice a month go online to accept their new connections? :oD But at least thier IPO was not such a disaster as facebook was. Eventhough I guess it was still bit out of a mind.
And last.fm - I only use it so it shows me what the heck is my winamp playing now. Visit of the page is like once a month.
And then there are zillions of smartasses who talk shitloads of crap about how "social media engage your target group without any mediators so you can communicate directly with them" - jesus! When I remember being on facebook I clicked on "hide" on most of the "pages" where the "communicators communicate directly".
I guess we will see if it social media crap will last for another two decades or not. I think it will, but its importance (and crazy IPO as facebook) will be just for someone to make fun of it.
P.S. Dear smart-asses, please, tell me that Blogger is a social media, too!

The totalitarian ideology of global warming
I always wondered whether the global warming is just a bogus or a real deal.
Anyway I met a one great guy who makes a living by studying iceglaciers around the globe and he told me that anytime he wants to get a money from a scientific grant he needs to put "global warming" in the title of the project otherwise no one gives him any money.
He also told me, that:
a) there is still no proven scientific link between the so called global warming and human activities emmiting carbon dioxide
b) al gore is showing pictures of icebergs rapidly shrinking but he is showing only one side of it, because on the other side the iceberg is actually growing.
c) it is true that somewhere the icebergs are shrinking.But there are also regions around the globe where they are actually growing.
d) global warming is one of the biggest business ventures in past decades even if it is total shit and lot of the scientist take it "for granted" only because they are paid for it and can build up a career on it.
e) lots of the scientists are changing the results deliberately just to prove that the idea of global warming is right
How can we live in such a totalitarian ideology?
