Recently I’ve discovered a spyware infecting computers though the weak autoplay implementation.

Today was another development nightmare day, everything seems to be cloaked in wrong events. Me under pressure and Winbloat — call it Micro$oft Windows — fails everywhere I need it working.

As software developers we reach bugs many times. In Open Standards, bug reports reach a common point: “every bug report has a reasonable description and have attached the proper backtrace or debug examples to reproduce the target bug“. Writing a good bug report implies a good written problem description. Many FOSS software have embeded an automatic bug report generator, but also many developers are helping with complex bug reports that aren’t handled by these systems.

How many years must I tolerate constant reboots per day, operating system freeze, hours of inserting/removing installation CD’s, very low performance, automagic — some people call it automatic — and unwanted window popup to the front of the desktop, non customizable widgets on my desktop applications, poor look and feel customization, malware, spyware, trojans, feeling insecure while I’m browsing the web, low profile firewall or packet filter customization, undocumented services, non resolving problems knowledge base, long time loosed resolving trivial issues with incompatible drivers and software, operating system crashes by third party application — non preempted kernel? —, bloat usage of hardware resources, non working multithreading environment, non working multitasking environment, non balanced load arround hardware resources, slow filesystems, hours of hatred, and many things that don’t come to my mind now…

Anyone can use the Windows Installer to add applications to the system. Today I have gained another headache thanks to Microsfot Products. The situation: I need to upgrade to JDK 1.6. The problem: Windows Installer isn’t working.

For both .RETARD — Micro$oft call it .NET — and Java have a common exception in different namespaces to expose the same critical error: OutOfMemoryException.

Today me and my colleagues tried to install a web application contructed under .RETARD (Micro$oft call it .NET), but not using Web Deployment Projects and Setup Projects as usually the installations are done. Instead, the client requested a precompiled site install through site building.
