Well, whatever I may or may be, the 1st thing that needs to be said is that you don't know who I am in any
way, shape or form. So your comments, on the contrary, just from the words written, do categorize you as
arrogant, patronizing, condescending, negatively presumptuous, someone who stereotypes and generalizes
about those whom they do not know, conceited, self absorbed, egotistical and I gotta tell you when you peel
back the final layer of that particular onion the center stinks pretty bad. I felt a knee jerk there somewhere.
And as opposed to your remark about enterprise grade systems, "the Cloud's" reliability is implied in every way that
an advertising agency for a large corporation can imply it, as a reliable and absolute backup.
Now I'll just mention that nowhere in my e-mail did I state that I use the Cloud. Just a random miss? a 1 or
was it a zero this time.
I don't buy that it's just sneaky little random 1's and 0's going down the dark digital dirt road less travelled
and arriving at the fork in that transistor path and turning left. There's just too much of that no responsibility
BS going around the whole world these days. "Don't look at me, I didn't do it." is the constant refrain and all
complaints are met with a version of "Bad Consumer! No Biscuit!"
Your response is just like all large corporations and your 1's and 0's is the anology for displaced and diluted
responsibility related to anything that happens. "It's not my fault, it's that A-hole down in shipping that caused the
whole problem." Yes we all have to live the results of that kind of thinking and living.
And the wing analogy is a perfect reflection of the nature of such critical systems. They are built and tested
and retested and stressed and then tested again so that even if they are operated by people with less intellect
than the designers, the likelihood of arriving at B from A is very close to absolute. And then before each
flight and periodically several times year it's taken apart and examined again throughout it's lifetime to look for
defects, which are then FIXED, to ensure, to the greatest degree possible the robustness of the whole
system. Familiar with that concept. No you aren't. Nor can you even relate to it. Until it affects you, I'll just bet.
Plus, from reading the many e-mails about this very issue to varying degrees of catastrophe is see that
it is one **** of a spike in the random background of stealthy little bits and bytes committing helter skelter
from within the OSX operating system. And to do it with such unerring accuracy on 3 apple devices
simultaneously and 7 different applications spread across those devices is not a random glitch in anyones
mind except yours.
You need to step back and consider that something is going on that is unacceptable, and please don't
make me define the word for you. Your opinion is not the operant guiding force here. I'm sure all the people
affected by this "Random" glitch that so surgically removes an exact critical organ from the guts of their devices is
going to be very impressed by your petulant, techie, aristocratic reply.
But to throw out a useless olive branch, no I am not an "IT" guy, but I've been building computers and
operating them since the day of the chicklet key kits you could buy before there was even an operating
system to run them. And just as obviously you got ticked off and had an emotional response.
I mean, it's not your computer so what the **** do you care? I mean enough to leave that kind of response.
That's very weird. Just say you don't know what to do and let it go. Nothing I wrote in that e-mail was directed
at the little guy behind the keyboard. But it got under your skin anyway. Why? Like I said, very weird.
I don't believe that it is true it can't be fixed, it shouldn't be true and it is very likely something that can be done about it.
But clearly not by you. I didn't mean to **** off some cog in the wheel of the technical discussion world at large.
But yes I do rely on it and it should be obvious that something should be and can be done to prevent these absolutely non-random
deletions from occurring in mine and quite a few others computers running apple operating systems. And I'm willing
to bet even without the satisfaction of seeing it happen in person that should the same occur to your system
the reaction would be a real pleasure to observe.
And finally, Apple is certainly taking the real dollars that people are spending for it's products and at the top of the corporate ladder buying some
very real high end royalty lifestyles, while their workers get the ***** treatment short end. You like that? You defend that?
Jeez man, what a tool you are.
