[RANT] The Eternal Struggle Between Good vs. Idiot

No, this is not a political rant. I'm posting this using my iMac in the office and I would’ve posted this sooner if my home PC wasn't hit by a Trojan and some malware. You guys know how meticulous and anal I can be with my PC. But no amount of precaution and obsessive compulsiveness can ever be a match with an idiot. It could happen anywhere. You could be the safest driver on the road. But if an idiot is there who just so happened to have a couple of drinks before getting behind the wheel, no amount of defensive driving can save your ass if he decides to play bumper cars with you.
Enter my (older) brother. He’s tall. He’s charming. He’s good to people around him. But he’s a goddamn idiot. I’ve warned him countless times about downloading from unknown websites. I’ve warned him of downloading useless apps to upload pornography to his cell phone. God knows the immeasurable amount of times I’ve told him NOT TO INSTALL ANYTHING WITHOUT RUNNING IT BY ME FIRST. But like I said, he’s an idiot. Even with all those warnings, he refuses to listen. Which brings me to my current predicament.
You may wonder, where was all my anti-virus/spyware/adware/firewall when all this happened? Were they all useless? Actually no, they are very useful. I run at least 4 different security apps to protect my PC. But like I said, it is no match for idiocy. You may install every single anti-anything software on your system, but if the USER still runs potential malware, all of those programs are rendered useless. Don’t hate the system. Hate the user.
It could’ve been easily avoided. BUT NO. He just had to install another goddamn useless app for his goddamn cell phone. And don’t get me started with his cell phone. He buys a Sony Ericsson P910i not for its office features but for goddamn games and for viewing goddamn porn scandal videos! He even doesn’t use the bloody stylus to text!! WHAT THE HELL?!? WHY BUY THE DAMN PHONE IF YOU WON’T USE ONE OF ITS MAIN FEATURES????????
RAAAAAGGHHH!!! HULK SMASH!!!!!
[ahem]
Like I said, he’s a damn idiot. So do me a favor, say no to idiots. DO NOT solely rely on anti-virus, firewall and anti-spyware apps. Practice safe computing. Don’t go around passing every single cute, funny, forwarded chain mail or downloading any “cool” java game that runs your way. And do us all a favor; be good to your younger brothers. Be especially good to those siblings and friends of yours who you rely on for computer maintenance. Heed their warning. Because they have to go through a lot of shit to clean the mess you made.
A. Lot. Of. Shit.
And it’s not pretty.
[sigh] My iMac won’t come soon enough.Labels: Rants |

Being the mindless drone of fashion that I am, I decided to jump on the Blogging bandwagon. This site contains all my rants and raves about current events, technology, video gaming, cinema and the occasional snippets of my own geek life. (Yeah, quite original, I know.)
