Friday night in Columbia South Carolina, ex-law enforcement officer Ray Jackson lost his temper while trying to repair his girlfriend’s computer.
After installing Windows Vista on the girlfriend’s 2 year old computer Jackson was trying to get some of her older programs to work with the new operating system. “He couldn’t get anything to work like it was supposed to”, said girlfriend Wanda White. “He just kept screaming at it and smacking the side of the computer”.
White had heard enough cursing from her boyfriend and went next door to her friend’s apartment. After about 20 minutes White and her friend heard gun shots from the apartment where Jackson was working. “We both ran over there to see what was happening”, said White. When she opened the door there sat Jackson with his pistol in his hand. He had just shot the computer 5 times and missed once. The miss had gone into the neighbors apartment and the bullet was lodged into their refrigerator.Jackson is being held at the Corrections Department of S.C. His bail hearing will be held Monday morning.Courtesy of The State Paper.

As for the cop in the story, dude, it's called a geek.

Man, I so get that!! Score one for "right to bear arms".
I've heard (from smart folk) that Vista is a pain in the arse. Thankfully I've been too lazy to switch!
Just like 3.1/95/98/XP Vista is on par with all the previous versions. I been using it since March and it's not that bad. You do have to work out a lot of bugs as you do with any new version of Windows. Man, I so get that!! Score one for "right to bear arms".I've heard (from smart folk) that Vista is a pain in the arse.

Vista isn't that bad, I have been running it day to day for about 6 months now. The biggest problem with it so far has been the fact that 3'rd party developers have released really crappy drivers for the OS or none at all for that matter.

Or else use a shotgun with large shot. hehehe Too bad the perpetrators of things like Vista don't have profiles where we could get their pics and display them onscreen to have a good target. lol Gotta be better than shooting a relatively nondescript box on a desk.

Better moral of the story is not to miss.
I think the real lesson here is ... DON'T INSTALL WINDOWS VISTA!
