Computers are stupid, they can't think for themselves. They only do what we tell them to do, so ultimately its our own fault.

I do sometimes get pissed, althoug that's mainly to do with some programming issues and other geek stuff...

Software designers, on the other hand, should die slow, agonizing deaths (preferrably with lots of rectal bleeding). Especially those that design programs that do way more than you want them to with no option for shutting off the unnecessary stuff (PTC). Good thing there aren't any software designers here.
ahhhh i just saw that. I am study software engineering so yeah i am a designer i guess?
Anyway, keep in mind the software development process is still extremely primitive. Also the intangibility and almost infinite number of states of software makes it so hard to measure and quantify, so its sometimes hard to make it "better".

I know what you mean though, although it'll suck being a fully qualified softwrae engineer with a job etc, because you only get thought of or noticed when the software is bad and fucks up alot.
George lucas said seomthing like "The best speciual effects in movies are the ones you don't notice". same can be said about software, when you don't notice it (ie no problems) then it's good, although you then take it for granted. AGGGGHHHHHH!!!!

ok that's it for me. i am turning geek mode off now
