To The Person Who Had The Final Say So Over Windows Live Movie Maker

Gravdigr · 03-01-2011, 01:35 AM

Dear Sir/Madam: First off, I would have referred to a version number, if you had let me have access to one. Second, I hope you live a long, otherwise fruitful life. I say "otherwise", because your efforts involving Windows Live Movie Maker are suicide-worthy. Seriously, you used this piece of shit, and then approved it? After your long, enjoyable life, after you have reached the age of total and complete uselessness to yourself and society, after you have become nothing more than a drooling shit/piss/odor producer, I hope you succumb to a rabid horde of syphilitic, meth-crazed, Viagra-overdosed, rubbing alcohol-infused, Parkinson's-afflicted, failure-loving porcupines.

Have a great day.

Yeah, that's a funny image, but it's not always correct.

I tried to figure out how to turn on a Dyson vacuum one time. No instructions around. Nobody to tell me how to do it. It took me about 2 minutes to figure out how to turn it on. There were so many crappy plastic knobs and switches and stuff all over it, and the power switch didn't have the standard markings on it and was hidden somewhere I don't remember now. I didn't want to randomly turn knobs and flip switches because they seemed so cheap they would break off in my hands, so I was just looking at everything until I could figure out the right switch. The point is, if something is designed so poorly that a novice can't figure out how to turn the damn thing on, it's stupid.

So, women are stupid. I always suspected so.

Mind you this the 'new' Movie maker...not one of the old versions that worked.

My Point is if ya dont try , stumble , learn from your mistake , then figure it out , well,,,,,,

This from a Guy that has had to drive 4hrs 1 way just to press Num lock on a Key board ( the number keys Above the letters worked fine and the operator was AMAZED that I could Make the scale work ) , dude didnt EVEN TRY !!!

Really? Maybe it was an older prototype, or one of the knockoff brands? On mine, the button is gigantic and yellow and right on top, with the standard circle/line marking like a computer. I will admit, however, that I needed the instructions to figure out how to assemble the handheld extension tube. Not hard once you know how, but counter-intuitive since one part gets stored inside another.

It was definitely a Dyson. I remember thinking that I'd be able to see what all the fuss was about. And then I was unimpressed by how long it took me to find the power switch. Maybe it wasn't 2 minutes. That's probably an exaggeration. Maybe it was "only" 45 seconds. But that's about 45 times too long. I don't remember where I ended up finding the switch. I think it was camouflaged into the handle somehow with no markings. Once I got it turned on, it worked pretty well. I suppose if it was my vacuum, I'd fumble for the switch the first time, and then know where it was from then on and it wouldn't be a problem.

You thought Num was short for number, well it is. As in "that guy is number than a box of frozen hammers."

jimhelm · 03-02-2011, 10:52 AM

Vacuum switch was maybe a foot switch? I was stumped for a while behind that nonsense too.

Could have been something they fixed in later models, mine's at least 3rd or 4th generation. The last one they made right before they switched to that dumb-looking ball thing. But yeah, I'll admit there's a learning curve to use it. Dang effective piece of machinery though. My dad used to dismiss it as hype, until one day I happened to have it in my car (was helping a friend clean before selling her house,) and I made him vacuum his floor with his old vacuum cleaner, then I went over the same area again with my Dyson. He was horrified by the amount of dirt it picked up--but not so horrified that he would purchase one himself. No, now he just borrows mine on occasion.

I still can't get the hand held hose to work worth a damn. If I'm using it correctly then it's a bloody awful design.
I think it's to do with it being an upright.
But I switched it on no problem. And Mum was freaked out that I worked out how to empty the cylinder without instructions. I mean, hell, it's all colour coded and as long as you remember to reverse what you did it's great. One of the reasons I don't want to lose face in front of her by asking how to use the hand held hose...

Wish it had a retractable lead though. I just like those things. It's my tiny prize for doing the hoovering when I get to use one.
