There are a variety of ways to deal with the Microsoft Windows Blue Screen
of Death (BSoD): use System Restore to roll back to a previous state,
install updated drivers, boot in safe mode, check for hardware problems,
scan for malware, or reinstall Windows.
Then again, you could always buy a gun off Craigslist, take that *&^% box
into the back alley, and blow it to kingdom come.
Unfortunately, this method, while likely being very satisfying, could get
you arrested for discharging a firearm within city limits, as happened to a
Colorado man who told police he was "fed up" after "fighting with his
computer for the last several months".
As The Smoking Gun reports, US police in the city of Colorado Springs on
Monday responded to an emergency call about shots fired.
When they arrived, they found that Lucas Hinch, 38, had taken his computer
into a back alley and executed it by "[firing] shots into the computer with
a handgun, effectively disabling it."
Effective, indeed, as can be seen in a police evidence photo of the
victimised hardware:
Dead computer
Hinch was reportedly cited for discharging a firearm within city limits,
according to a police blotter entry bearing the summary description "Man
Kills His Computer."
Hinch told TSG that he had "just had it" after months of exposure to the
recalcitrant computer's BSoD.
The machine was put out of its misery with a 9mm Hi-Point pistol that Hinch
had recently found on Craigslist.
Police seized the pistol, but they left the corpse.
Hinch is the operator of a homeopathic herb store he runs out of the home he
shares with his girlfriend and formerly with his computer.
Hinch administered lead slugs to the computer in the alley in back of this
homeopathy store.
He's scheduled for a May 11 court hearing on the misdemeanor charge. |
