Computer troubles.

.

My internet works but my internet game and a voice communication for it do not. Actually, this happened late (or early as the case actually is) yesterday (or this morning, identifying then communicating a particular day(s) gets messy when sleep is disrupted). My computer is telling me that the drive or network connection to my game and the subprogram have failed or are not working. And, as I said, I can still get on the internet. I have a group of suspects, since it seems to be on then off again. I suspect WoW itself, the owners or operators depending on which of those would be morally blamed. I also wonder about my ISP, they hate bandwidth chewing games. And, possibly, a hacker who read my post and thought to "lend a hand". No, it probably is not the computer. I do need a new computer, for security if nothing else.

To be sure, any MS system has built in security back doors for themselves and the government, and probably any corporation with deep enough pockets to buy the keys. Which means your average bored teenager will find it eventually. But with XP, MS has pretty much decided to kick that os to the curb so are just as likely fostering hacks for it as anything else. Not that I think there is anything wrong with a company of hackers, weighing in on politics, possibly blackmailing politicians for this or that, involved with corporate spying, or hacking into people's personal lives and purposefully exposing them to vulnerabilities because they cannot afford a new system (if that is what they are doing, of course). No, no concerns there at all. Well, a newer system is what is required, in any case, for what little security is to be had.

Grumble, mumble, bitch, and moan.

Gimme a dolla!

(That was a joke... as you may note, you have no way to give me a dollar and I like it like that... I am not for sale.)

As for someone giving me a hand? It does not work. I only have so much energy, no matter what else is happening. Without my game, I will simply begin sleeping more, offering me zero chance to possibly get to anything rather than the slim chance I currently have. If it is you, knock it off. If it is not, find who did it and let me know. I will do the dirty work, and gladly. Just, have evidence. Bah!
