No what to the where, now?

I love my computer. It’s fast, it’s powerful, it has two delicious TFT monitors, it can run any game smoothly on the highest settings (until Crysis comes out), and I know exactly where everything is – almost. But there’s one thing about it that just irks me to no end. During start-up, the BIOS checks for IDE harddrives, and since my disk is connected with SATA, it finds none. In a pathetic attempt to communicate this, it prints prominently:

Detect drives done. No any drives found.

I’m used to programmers who are horrible at spelling. I’m not sure how it works out, but it’s no rare occurrence to find a horribly spelled and syntaxed comment in otherwise flawless code. They type functions like this up perfectly: else if (((AnimSequence == 'Pickup') && bAnimFinished) || ((AnimSequence != 'Pickup') && !IsFiring())), yet they can’t spell “canister”.

But seriously. When you write something that I have to look at every time I turn on my computer… please get somebody who can spell to check your work afterwards.

    I’m almost certain they use the flawless translation software by the name of “Babelfish” to translate bios stuff from Korean :D
