unscheduled hardware failure I just tried to log on to my public library account and got the following message: "The library catalog is currently unvailable due to an unscheduled hardware failure. We are currently working on the system and will make the system available as soon as possible." My question is which is better: unscheduled hardware failure, or a scheduled hardware failure? Since I'm not a computer expert, I can tell when my computer is giving me problems, but how can I tell if the problems are scheduled? And who is doing the scheduling? Is Bill Gates the culprit, that I should be cussing out and pointing a finger at? Not only is the hardware a failure, but the computer mis-spelled the word "unvailable". Can't our public money buy computers that are more reliable and also better spellers? | |

I love the idea of a "scheduled hardware failure"  No hardware is totally reliable and I would imagine that library systems are not deemed mission critical and therefore don't get much of a budget allocated to them. Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity. | |

You know how those librarian types are ... if they're not getting off "shushing" people then they're just plotting "unscheduled hardware failures" in order to make today's generation suffer and learn how to find books using the old card catalog system. I had a few relatives who worked as librarians and they're pretty much at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to technology in the old municipal budget. Since they aren't familiar with technology then maybe that's why they're having problems with it being "unvailable"  I found out earlier today that Dell has been dealing with large scale failures of many of its computers in the 5 to 8 year old range due to buying crappy foreign capacitors that result in up to an 80% failure rate; and of course I own a Dell from that era. Apparently the capacitors will literally start leaking all over the motherboard and short it out. Guess I'd better be more consistent about backing my crap up ... which is better than getting backed up I guess. | |

Those who cannot write lend books. I wanted something new, so I left England for New England. | |

A very good...but rhetorical question......Therefore my answer would have to be: NEITHER | |
