Semester after semester, these crappy things they call "Servers" at San Diego State crash. Oh, but they don't just crash like any other normal server. They crash for as long as those servers that we remember to be known as Everquest servers. Somehow they manage to increase our tuition by $250 every semester, yet I don't see anything being done about these "servers" they use to let us add our classes at the university, as there is absolutely no other way to sign up for classes except by using their craptastic online piece-of-shit servers.

My time to choose my classes? 2:00pm, servers been down since? 10am. With 9,000 new students every semester, you'd think they would of hired someone who knew how to handle servers, or bought EXTRA servers for these days, but nope. They're busy increasing the deans' and president's salary by 7.5% every year, cutting the amount of classes available to us (therefor the amount of teachers) and increasing our tuition. Yippy for government institutions. They're as useless as our president.

I love hearing someone who has no idea exactly how hard it is to do what they suggest complain about things.

you sound like one of my customers.

It doesn't matter if its hard. They have over $100million in endowment. They can get some extra servers at any time. They can add more workers if need me. Just keep the damn server up.

It may not just be hard, it may be impossible to do.

Yes, I know some people say that "nothing is impossible", but in somethings, the highest improbability could be considered "impossible"

And it may just be that the problem is the code, that worked fine a few years ago, but no one knows how to maintain anymore.

And rewriting a new system from scratch may not be feasible.
