There is one truth (somewhere)

vista.

ill had a pretty bad experience yesterday. a stalled process i could not kill. not with taskmgr, not with process explorer from sysinternals, not with kill, taskkill and so on. not as administrator. after trying to get it for half an hour, ill had to leave, so i suspend my laptop. this also did not worked, the laptop kept on working and never finished suspend. after five minutes i powered it hard down.

any one ever had something like this? i could not find anything that helped on this. i am suspecting something like a kernel module or driver. maybe punkbuster or some shit like that. the process was autoit which is wildly used for cheats like for bots/aimbots… i am using ac’tivAid which is an program from the german ct-magazin and uses autoit.

any suggestions? i will investigate that stuff….

• my first bag was an eastpack messenger style bag which was designed to carry wide screens up to 17". ill bought it for my old fujitsu 15.4" (3.2 kg). ill got it cheap for 25,- euros instead of 70,-. it had a clamps that attached the strap to the bag.
  after 6 months or so one of this clamps broke out while i was running to catch a train. luckily i managed to hold it, so the laptop did not fell down. i fixed it with cable binders witch i have always on me ( i know why).

• since ill final bought a new laptop i thought it was time to get something real now. ill bought a jack wolfskin "trans city". i liked the idea of having a bag that one could convert easily to a backpack. it is large (25L), offers much pockets and room and has a large two part handle with an magnetic closure for holding it when one uses the bag as a backpack (bad idea, it does not hold and any magnetic parts on a bag for laptops? just dumb). 

it cost 89,99 euros.this week (after 2 months and 2 weeks) i was on the run. and once again, i suddenly heard an crack… it was the connection between the clamp and the strap. now i was pissed, my new laptop weights 2.7 kg, ill had the power supply , some cables a bottle of water and two books in the bag. thats hardly too much, hold in mind the bag is for 25L and i wasn’t nearly full.

• so i went to the jack wolfskin store for complain. they where kind offered me the option to either get the same bag again, another one or refund. ill picked a new one, an "J-BAG 20". its an messenger bag with a second strap, 20L room for storage, plenty of pockets, "hook and loops", zips and the most important thing, the main strap is directly attached to the bag.

i really really hope this is my last entry on this shit. and once again i find it hardly to understand how stupid designers must be to built some shit like that. yes, i am an active person, and yes ill tend to break things just by using it. on the eastpack i thought "hack its crap" but on the wolfskin? i wasn’t expecting such low quality. over all quality was fine but on the most important point weak.

ps: got some stuff to test? send it to me, ill break it for you!
