will frustration kill? did anybody die from frustration before?

there are so many people out there that talk the talk but doesn't walk the talk. i am surprised. i know that theoretically, i suppose, that there are always people who talk wonderful stuffs, flowery possibilities, amazing feats. i am not one to socialise well or blend with the crowd, simply because i have no interest in listening to one blow his horn, real or perceived. however, when real-life experience shows a 100% curvature towards people who cannot deliver but boast to the sky, i am a little miffed. not that i was expecting any result, but it was just one sentence extra to ask, so i did. i wasn't expecting any spectacular results, but it's strange how you can still be amazed when you were expecting nothing. kinds of fortify my already poor peception of mankind.

if humans don't work the way they are suppose to, that is even more true for technology. either i am running a string of bad luck or i'm being tested to the extreme by inefficient, erratic, impossible-to-deal-with electronics. a plus b do not compute c. not even after tens of thousand of people have used it. they should have figured out how to fix the bug by now, you will think. still, i guess that sounds about right. people who are not working right produces things that do not work right.
