The processor inside your computer generates a lot of heat. This heat, naturally, propogates around the inside of your CPU, or Central Processing Unit. That is why you have cooling fans, to remove excess heat. However, there is a slight flaw in the design of your computer. Most computer units are manufactured and tested in China, likely due to the inexpensive labour one can find there. China has a low average temperature, and the efficiency of the cooling fans is made for it. When shipped over to Singapore, however, it undoubtedly becomes uncalibrated. Because of this, the fans are unable to remove heat as efficiently as necessary. This leads to the uneven expansion and contraction of parts inside your computer. Over time, this may result in the moving of parts(in this case, the RAM cards), causing poor contacts and the rest of the problems that follow.
Alright, that was about as professional as I could get right there. I know, not up to my usual standard, but I didn't have enough information.
You know, the library is a great place to get information. Note, this is a superbly clichéd sentence. Please do not use it unless you have to. Try for a more original way of saying it. No examples for you, because all who have power are afraid of losing it... Ahem. I was saying, the library. The many insights and discoveries it brings. Among them, extra knowledge on the birth of the universe. I chanced upon a tiny little book that would have been a children's story if it weren't for that magnetic title, "The Big Bang". Titles like that draw me like kindergartens draw paedophiles. Anyway, I learnt that the term "Big Bang" was actually coined by some dude trying to make fun of the theory, but the original supporters really liked it. After all, it did accurately describe the scenario. I also learnt how astronomers judge cosmic distances. It's really a lot to take in, especially from a book that looked like that. Other books in the series include "Evolution" and "Genetics". Basically, the other two words that I really like.
But something else I learnt at the library... was how inconsiderate people can be. I arrived at maybe 2 in the afternoon. And woah, there were maybe 7 unoccupied tables!
With stuff on them. No people.
I mean, what the hell? Do you really think, that you can go for your lunch break, and leave your crap all over the tables, and that no one is going to do anything about it? As I walked past yet more personel-less platforms, I had a strong desire to steal their chairs and hide them in the elevator. Fortunately, I'm not that demented. But seriously, it is unfair, and extremely inconsiderate to leave your stuff there while you go for your lunch. I know you want to keep your space, but realise this: It's a public library. You can't just reserve a table by leaving your stuff there. The worst part is, I can't do squat about it. If I move their crap, I'm handling other people's property. That could lead to legal issues, or just a confrontation with some *idiots. Even though they have no right to leave their stuff on the table, I have no right to tell them to clear off, either. And they're the ones who are being assholes. Where is the justice? There is no justice, I tell you. It's exactly like those idiots in online games who tell you to get off the map with the excuse of "It's mine, I was here like half an hour ago." And where does this leave me? "Argue with an idiot, and he'll bring you down with experience." All I can do is mutter swear words under my breath and sit on the floor.
Life is exceedingly awesome.
*According to Wikipedia, "idiot", is the scientific term for someone who has the severest form of mental retardation, with "imbecile" coming in next, and "moron" for those less afflicted. Which is convenient, because I've gotten to calling people idiots pretty frequently.
Whoop tee doo.
