Another Ubuntu user. :DNice to know there's people on here who like a decent operating system.

 

I uninstalled Vista a few months back. I only use Windows XP as there's not much in the way of video editing software for Linux yet. As soon as Adobe do Premier Pro for for Linux, then I'll be living in a Microsoft free home.

 

Has anyone else had these problems with Vista Home Premium?????

 

1,When you try to rename a folder it tells you the folder doesn't exist.

2,If your motherboard has a Nvidia chipset Microsoft's own update screws up

the network controller, so it buggers up your internet connection, and won't let

you uninstall the driver, or roll back to last known working configuration.

3, takes forever and a day to load.

4, when you try and copy a load of files (3GB)from one drive to another it takes 45 mins.

5, It's forever downloading and installing updates.

6, It's a 5GB pile of crap that doesn't work properly.

7, randomly closes programs without any error messages.

8, Quite a few recent applications won't run on it.

 

9, Why doen't Vista have an uninstall opion in add/remove programs?

 

I had Ubuntu on dual boot and that works perfectly. A dream to install it too. Popped the disk in, webt for a brew. Came back to find one Desktop all drivers installed for my hardware. And it had also set up the network and internet connection and updated the OS.

All in under 30 mins.

The fuzzybobbling of DCA's by telephone is set to increase in 2009.

 

Here's the reason why.......

 

 

BT scraps charges for 0870 numbers

Telecoms giant BT announced it was scrapping charges for 0870 and 0845 numbers, used by millions of customers, in a move which will cost the company £24 million.

 

The two numbers are used by banks, building societies, utilities, insurance firms and doctor's surgeries and currently cost up to 5.8p a minute for BT's 14 million customers.

 

Charges will be free from January 16, depending on which package customers are on, ranging from weekend, evening and any time calls.

 

 

So now it's cheaper to call them and give them some grief.

Thank you BT

Does that include 0871, as a lot of co's are using that no as it earns more money (Buchananclark + wells for eg. But if you want them call 01412702524).

[hillards]

Does that include 0871

No - 0871 is actually re-classified as a premium rate service these days, and regulated by PhonePayPlus (PhonepayPlus - welcome to the PhonepayPlus home page), which used to be ICSTIS, rather than OfCom.

 

Just realised after pressing submit, there's some rule about not using premium rate numbers in relation to contacting the company hassling you - so by using 0871 they are breaching that as well.

[nioclik]

Thanks for that. I have a bit of a bee in my bonnet about these no's.

Just checked buchetc's no on that web site (handy one that).

 

PhonepayPlus has the following information about the number 08712441904.

 

This is a non geographic number charged at up to 10p per minute. The services operating on this number can range from advice lines, call centres, ticket booking lines, customer support lines and more.

 

The cost of these calls may vary depending on your phone company so you should speak to them for more information or advice.

 

Ofcom are responsible for the regulation of these numbers and their contact details are below.

Well, we'll see if my little entry on Credit Today is cause for argument. I don't expect it to be up for long at all, so I will helpfully enclose my input :-

=======================

 

If indeed those are your real names. Fact is, your industry is becoming shown up for what it is and always was - a sham. A pointless, disingenuous, worthless, irrelevant waste of time, money and resources that could be better placed just about anywhere else. And the general public are seeing this for themselves. So much so, that's it's beginning to become a public spectacle at seeing the collections sector implode. And I for one, have no absolutely sympathy for you.

 

You worried about trolls just because they have a point of view diametrically opposed to your own? Obviously, CT does not respect free speech, debate or even suggestions at how the industry can be improved.

 

Then again, going by some of the comments I've read here, it also doesn't seem to respect the Consumer Credit Act, The Limitations Act, Administration of Justice Act, and countless other acts of government legislation that you are duty bound to follow - not to abuse for your private gain.

 

This over-sensitive seriousness, 'you knew best' attitude and total disregard for the laws and guidelines that are supposed to govern your industry - all of which have long permeated across the credit industry. Well, it's all finally starting to whack you in the face, isn't it?

 

You can moan, complain and despair on your forum all you like - but you can't quell dissent.

 

If you want, have your private forum and limit it to about the six members that are sad enough to join up. It's quite telling that people who post on CAG can have more threads in their discussion topics within two days, than on the entire CT forum. Doesn't this tell you how little general public support there is for the existence of the collections sector? The game's up, the act is over, and so are you. Treat this message as though I'm holding a mirror up to your industry - that's what I see!

 

England in general has been going down the toilet for years, and your industry is coming with it. But the credit industry is one such puppy that not many will be sorry to see drown.

I've got my PC dual booted with SUSE and Windows XP, but I have to admit I haven't found time to learn Linux properly yet. Everything sets up like a dream though and it's much more stable than Windows. One day I'll get round to learning it properly. Might even go on a course!

 

I've got Vista on the laptop me & Mrs B bought ourselves for Christmas - so far no problems.

I see Jemma Jameson has put in an appearance. Wonder what she was wearing when she made that post .....?

 

Also, have you notice Bob Welsh who is apparently a 'Payment Engineer'? What the hell is one of those?

 

That site's been invaded by so many CAGGERS that it's difficult to know who's kosher and who isn't.

Might explain why Windows 7 betas are already filtering through, sounds like vista was another "stop gap OS"

 

Not that i am saying windows 7 will be any better:rolleyes:
