stupid cat driver filenames |
|
|
wxp-w2k-catalyst-8-082-041130a-019577c.exe
why can't ati use a simple filenaming convention, sheesh
wxp-w2k-catalyst-4-12.exe
there, SIMPLE, why the big long stupid number
and no, i don't care what ati uses for internal filenames, i want files that
say what they are, not some stupid number that means nothing to me
whatsoever
really though the best i get make out of that is the date 30/11/04 (uk, not
us format)

Then save them with whatever filename makes sense to you, it isn't
rocket science.

You can rename it when you download it so at least it'll be recognizable on
your system.

How hard is it to change the name when the "Save to Disk" screen pops up ? |

after a few cat driver downloads, you try digging out the latest one
as if i should even *have* to rename it, nvidia use versioned filename that
make sense
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_66.93
66.93_win2kxp_english.exe
ok, it doesn't have forceware written in it, but at least you can find the
latest one easy enough
and before you say it, yes i was bored while downloading drivers :) |

You can always tell an idiot, you just can't tell him much.

Since when has the UK specified dates in reverse order? Neither the UK nor
the US does this, but if you stop to think about it for a moment the reason
for this particular presentation of date is obvious.

Y-M-D is better. Makes for MUCH easier sorting. |

He meant that in "US format" it would have been Y-D-M which is
as useless as M-D-Y :-) |

We don't...today is December 16, 2004, which we in the UK would write as:
16/12/04

'Realism is seductive because once you have accepted the reasonable
notion that you should base your actions on reality, you are too often
led to accept, without much questioning, someone else's version of what
that reality is. It is a crucial act of independent thinking to be
skeptical of someone else's description of reality.'-
