adaptec storage manager

this app will run on RHEL5 but will not log in. What it quietly needs is the stdc++ compat libs.
Go to the RHEL cd and install the:
compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-138.i386.rpm
compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61.i386.rpm

Now you can login.

carrefour subang are crooks

yes only in this country.

One day I went to carrefour, through the carrefour security, bought something (webcam) I thought was covered by carrefour return policy, see carrefour people walking around, paid at the carrefour counter.

It was a piece of crap, tried to return it to carrefour then they tell me it's consignment. Sorry no refund.

WHAT!

The shops outside the carrefour area I know don't belong to carrefour, but this was within the carrefour area. Big W in Australia tried this and lost in court! Only in this fucking country they can get away with this. Frenchies are never known for playing by the rules, or gentlemenly conduct.

I was in a rush because the removalist was taking my household and I needed to be at the endpoint before they got there. Wanted to see the manager but he wasn't around. If I wasn't in a hurry I would've chased the damn manager until I skinned his yellow hide.

This is one time I wish I was a lawyer. Fuckin carrefour...go to hell.

kicking astro installation in the butt

and saving $50 or $100 or both.

I had to move from taiping to shah alam. It's a fair distance. But what about the astro. $50 to remove and another $100 to reinstall. Bugger it, I'' do it myself. I'll use my superior human intelligernce and figure out a strategy to do it for free.

First the satellite is not going to go anywhere so it will always be at the same spot in space. But you will move thought. This will effect the vertical and horizontal postion of the dish. First the reference point. Before moving let's mark the reference point. This is so that whatever happens you know that it had worked where you are. To do this you will need a marker pen and compass. Use the marker pen to mark the

have to remind myself to finish this

it's the manager's job to find faults, it's the engineer's job to find solutions

our society sucks

The world we live in favours the rich. The rich gets to make more money and gets more benefits and discounts. The poor gets more interest, penalties and fines.

What I have unfortunately experienced is that if you cannot afford it or run into money problems you have to spend more. Late paying your house loans, they increase your interest rates. Late for anything else, gets fines.

Fucked up, totally unislamic.
