He's actually the only happy person right now it seems.

He comes to class, he's happy, and we're all tired. I have also stopped trying to participate in this class because I feel like he derives some sort of pleasure in telling us we're wrong. Which is a big deal for me because usually I participate a lot in class.

You could say, "The answer is 12+1" and he'll be like, "Nope, it's 1+12". He is super picky about phrasing. I think to myself, "That's what I said. So rephrase it your way, but don't tell me I'm wrong." My accounting professor was tough and liked to call people idiots and buffoons, but if you essentially gave him the right answer, he would nod, make a slight correction if necessary, and move on.

This is kind of how I feel in that class:

Yikes, I just had a flashback of an awful history professor. :grumpy: :banghead: :mad:

funny thing.. almost everyone in my country has a landline..
Since landlines are almost.. everything-proof.
While normal cell phones can have heavy outages thanks to rain or disasters.. landlines keeps working (infact, you could have a state wide power outage and landlines still work, since all phone stations have generators)
very reliable in case of emergencies.

This makes me feel better. Not that I want any disasters!;)

Some professors are idiots. My first semester in Chemistry, beginning Chem. I got a Noble Prize Winner, I swear he was saying English, but I didn't understand a word that came out of his mouth from day one. Pretty much, the whole class ended up with a D. There was one guy that got a C. That was a class of 700. I took another Chemistry Class with another professor and got an A. Some people just don't know how to teach. Rant over.

They probably want you to upgrade to their DELUXE ULTRA DUPER MAMBA JAMBA EDITION TURBO ;)

Being serious.. these bugs usually happen when Microsoft adds new patches.

had the same a few ago in a lot of my computers.. Google chrome changed their way they execute.. and my firewall (comodo) was blocking it from running.. because it was "injecting" code.. which is a big no no.

It's not the same result, but, appears to be what was happening to my phone as well. Verizon blamed it on the Cloud that they use as a phone backup setup. It appeared to be randomly deleting my contacts. They put in what I think they called a "Red Tag" to Microsoft and it took about a week or so, but, it finally stopped deleting and has been OK since then. I don't know what they did, but, it is fixed now so I am happy. Now if I could find someone to blame for my DVD I can get back to normal.

You can always start blaming the manufacturer of your DVD ;)

We've probably all run into that. In college we had two classes that were taught by the same guy. They were Cost Accounting and Tax Accounting. The professor was at one time the CFO of General Electric. He had retired from GE and wanted to teach. It was obvious that he was totally versed on Accounting, however, he lacked the ability to convey that information to people that were just learning it. We all, and I'm talking about those that were high achievers and those that were just floating along trying to get a degree (you're all welcome to decide what area I fell in). We all were failing miserably. It got to the point where we would go to class and since this was in the pre-electronic era, we just swiveled in our seats and talked to each other during the class. We were all completely lost.

Over the Christmas break, the professor had a heart attack and died. He was replaced by a recently relocated West Indian gentleman that none of us were able to understand, so the story continued for another semester. They ended up giving all of us a C for both courses and sent us on our way out into the world doing everything in our power to avoid having anything to do with cost or tax accounting.

Time to compose a letter to Samsung I guess. Do you suppose that the guarantee has run out on a 10 year old machine?;)

I was a dumb bunny about three years ago. (Keeping with the bunny theme!) I bought hubby a Samsung computer it has been in the shop more than out, and before the warranty was over, they didn't honor it and cancelled service. What a bunch of carp!
