Hilarious. Swiss ppl might have seen this on TV

[LastActionHero]

A microsoft ad for Windows XP



Promising you "The unexpected Experience", the Beast of Redmond's new Swiss ad for the operating system features an attractive young lady and her boyfriend getting it on in a living room somewhere. All's going fine, she whips her top off and the young man tries to relieve her of her patriarchal symbol of oppression (the bra).

Nothing doing. Twisting twisting and nothing. Then an information menu pops up on her back. "Hilfe holen, Anleitung drucken, Gleich offnen, Abbrechen". We've no idea what they mean, but running his finger down her back he goes for the third choice. Tap.

And he's faced with a password query. The woman smirks (why?) and the Microsoft logo comes up on the screen

Typical Microshaft.

[meow]

I can't see it! It's crashing my browser. :(

[Owen]

Is your browser by chance IE? :)

[meow]

Yeah? Does it work in Netscape? Opera? Sorry for asking a silly question but I have already rebooted 4 times. :D

[Owen]

Naw. Im just noting the irony of the situation :)

[meow]

:eek: EEEEEK! And here I got my hopes up. ;) Actually I think it's too big. I don't have alot of RAM.

[Owen]

That may be... I am using IE 4 on a machine with 512 MB of Ram. Didn't crash my computer, but I was too lazy to continue downloading the movie :).... Wish I could get cable or DSL where I live :(

[meow]

I've got ADSL since last week but *very* little RAM.

[LastActionHero]

Strange even though I have a quicktime plugin installed it downloaded the movie for me onto my hardisk. BTW the movie is 1.28 MB long in quicktime format.

[LastActionHero]

actually it's 1.80 MB big.

[meow]

Aw, could you send it? Pleasie;)pleasie;)please?:D

[LastActionHero]

I downloaded half the file and then Download accelerator stopped in the middle saying that the file is no longer on the server. :(

[meow]

Thanks for trying. *sob*:(

[LastActionHero]

*sob *sob* I wanted to see that girl in the ad :D

[Coolin]

I'm having problems with the movie too :(

[niv]

the movie doesn't even exist. fourohfour error

[Coolin]

Wrong. I see half of it. But when I look in the HTML for it. The .mov link doesn't work.

But when I view it in my browser, the thing downloads at about 0.0001k but I can still view it.

[niv]

wee! i'm wrong!! :p

maybe they should invest in a faster connection.

[meow]

Can any of you get the file name/path so we can dl it in some other way?

[}:8) Supermoo]

Name/Path:

Still no luck for me. :(

[Coolin]

You're back!

Welcome back Supermoo!

[Coolin]

Since I'm such a nice guy I downloaded the movie for you (took me over 30mins on cable). And uploaded it onto my F2S account. :)

Get it quick! Before F2S deletes it! HURRY!

[meow]

It's coming! It's coming! :)
Thanks, but you could have changed the extension. I didn't check so my system crashed again.:p

it crashed for me too. Coolin, did you do a CRC check? :confused:

the movie is corrupted

[meow]

You are corrupt. What is a CRC check, please?

[niv]

http://www.dictionary.com/cgi-bin/dict.pl?term=cyclic%20redundancy%20check (CRC)

[meow]

:eek:Am I supposed to read and understand that? Explain to me in short and simple words, corrupt person. Please? :)

[niv]

the CRC algorithm can detect errors in files. :p

[meow]

Oh.

[niv]

:rolleyes:

the file is corrupted. that's what's causing quicktime to crash.

[meow]

That was kind of obvious. Did you think I really thought it was a virus?:p
I just wondered what the CRC thing did since that was something new to me. Everyone misunderstands me today! I'll go missle myself.:(

[Rick]

I was able to download it and play it without any problem using IE5... Tried again with Netscape and it still worked

[niv]

i'm saying Coolin's version is corrupted.

[LastActionHero]

Coolin is corrupt :p

[LastActionHero]

Coolin in not corrupt. You people are corrupt! I saw the movie. hilarious. The girl is so-so.

Thanks Coolin :)

[meow]

That's what not being allowed to have sex before you are 35 or whatever do to you. You "see" girls! Lame. :rolleyes:
Coolin is corrupt. Let's missle him. ;)

[LastActionHero]

:rolleyes: I didn't know the legal age for having sex in your country was 35 :D

[Coolin]

At least one person got the movie working...

I don't know about the rest of you though...

I check out whats wrong.

[Coolin]

Bah, it works for me.
Try viewing the thing in IE. And don't forget to upgrade your Quicktime installation.

[Gayowulf]

CRC stands for Cyclic redundancy checking, which is a method of checking for errors in data that has been transmitted on a communications link. A sending device applies a 16- or 32-bit polynomial to a block of data that is to be transmitted and appends the resulting cyclic redundancy code (CRC) to the block. The receiving end applies the same polynomial to the data and compares its result with the result appended by the sender. If they agree, the data has been received successfully. If not, the sender can be notified to resend the block of data. A less complicated but less capable error detection method is the checksum method

heheh make sence?

[meow]

Yes. Thank you Gayo-san. :)

[Gayowulf]

I am honoured to have served you; I am but your humble slave, o great one.

Your wish is my command. :rolleyes:


next time i help it will cost you :mad:

[meow]

:rolleyes:

[Coolin]

Well... This got off topic quickly by a certain two people...

One of which who "swore" to never do so.

*cough* ;)

[meow]

:confused: What's off topic? For once every post is on topic. Can you point me to were Gayo says ha won't be out of topic anymore, the little --- kisser? I must print it. ;)

[Coolin]

Ok... Lemme try and find it.

[Coolin]

Voila!

It didn't crash mine, your neglecting your machine with only 32 MB RAM caused that :p

[meow]

FYI I have 40 and it wasn't only me that crashed. SO THERE!:mad:

[Bruce]

How can you have 40MB RAM?

It's a matter of not running too many large apps at the same time. Not anyone can do it. :o

[niv]

get a memory upgrade man!

[Bonesgeo]

got it first try off the first link,took 4 min to load though. funny:D

[meow]

Actually I have a couple of sticks on their way to me right now. Also a better processor. I don't think I'll bother with the processor until I get my new machine and this is degraded to an extra though. I've heard it's a pain to change them.

Phrozen, did you wonder about the odd number? This one uses paired RAM sticks. There's 2*16 + 2*4, if I remember right.

Yep, that clears up that mystery for me. At least I know I shouldn't feel to bad for having 120MB RAM now...

[meow]

No need for that. :)
I'm only getting 16's so the difference won't be that big. The most I can use is 4*32 but I couldn't get hold of used and SIMMs are too expensive for me wanting to waste the money on new ones for this machine. It's too old.
