I was copying a bunch of roms and an emulator over the network today, and I got this message:

Look how many minutes are remaining... :shock:

I've seen winblows do things like this before, but never to this magnitude.

Edit: Just so you know, thats about 1,047,634 YEARS of downloads...

Yeah, sometimes the time estimator just goes stupid.

I remember my roomate's harddrive fucking up sometime last year and I think it said something along the lines of him having a bajillion or so gigs of space available/filled, or something like that.

Ho-ly Shit. You're copying enough stuff to overflow a counter variable, causing the status indicator and time left to screw up. That is such a MASSIVE ISSUE that I cannot possibly believe Microsoft didn't send someone to your room with the full source to fix the code right that. How dare MS not code and use an infinite precision number class to use for all worthless internal calculations. Wow, that's just amazing.

Oh, and Even more amazing is your own ignorance concerning how important some bug is. Oh NOES! They're displaying the wrong time left! The world will end! OMGWTFBBQIGD OH NOES!!! Given the number of other, real, problems in Windows, I seriously doubt fixing this one is a big deal.

Winblows. Hahaha. Like that one hasn't been around since 1995. Jesus Christ you're an idiot. If you're going to bitch about something, the least you can do is bitch about something that actually has some relevance somewhere.

Do I see more than one copying window open? Cause if I do, then you are one of those BANDWIDTH WHORES that likes to make life miserable for everyone else.

I see no need to continue. I posted it because I thought it was funny. No other reason. If you have a problem with that, fine. If you actually have a sense of humour and can even contemplate things like this, then read it for what its worth, not what it isn't.

Then you could have done without this line:

Crack jokes and bash "Micro$oft" and "Winblows" all you want, but the least you can do is be more original than some 10 year old script kiddy who thinks it's super "1337" to use those terms.
