You know what I hates? I fucking hates audible alarms that can only be shut off one of two ways: 1. Using the command-line interface. 2. Using the web interface. This is especially pertinent when the overpriced gadget (that will solve all of our mail problems, most of which were caused by problems with RAID arrays) simultaneously blows up 2/3 of its RAID set and cannot boot any operating system any longer. Just fucking spend the twenty-five goddamn cents on an actual, real, physical, mechanical silence button, okay? The marketing people are *wrong*. You can even color-coordinate it if you want. Put a glossy coat of paint on it and make it real fucking shiny. But give me something to punch, before I kick the goddamn appliance for screaming at me constantly while I try to fix it. Not that it'll be fixed, of course. Oh no. Fixing is for those UNIX boxes that cause you such problems. This, though--this is a specialized piece of equipment engineered to make your life easier. For this, you need to call a *professional*. *spit*
