Uh, no, you're saying the AIO is crap. GBL didn't say that you're saying crap. Please re-read.

Let me guess... English isn't your first language, is it? I think that's where a lot of the problem is coming from... you're totally not understanding what we're trying to say... and perhaps, what the AIO is trying to say.

 

Dear BosonMichael! I did not say that it came from you - i did not mentioned you in the post (from that book of course).
There is some wisdom of toltec's if you please: "Don't take everything personally." and "Don't conform every word to yourself."

Sorry and bye.

 

Sounds like some wisdom you really ought to consider, Gin... as it seems you have taken everything personally and conformed every word to yourself.

From the start, our conversation hasn't been about me, so I don't know where you're getting this from.

Best of luck to you.

 

OK. For the last word. You are definitely right - English is not my native. But that was not a snag for you to accept that I am saying, that there is some inconsistencies in AIO book. After that, then some of you accepted my experienced incident personally, you came hostile. And now you are ready to argue everything (saying that I don't understand that is about in the book)! Will that be even facts that you accepted before?
I must correct myself:
I'm saying: "crap"? Or very straight if like: "Do I am saying a word crap somewhere?" Is that suffice?

Sorry and bye to both of you.

 

There are inconsistencies in the AIO book... just like there are inconsistencies in just about every book written. And you obviously expect them to be perfect, even though neither you nor I am.

No, not hostile... just trying to show you that there's no reason for you to take the attitude you're taking with the AIO. It's more than sufficient to help someone pass, and it's really rather good compared to other A+ books. If you disagree, that's fine... but I challenge you to find one that has fewer mistakes AND prepares you just as well for the exam.

There's no reason for me to have taken your incident personally; I had nothing to do with the book, so why would I take it personally? That's why I think there's a language misunderstanding issue here.

No, I never said you don't understand what is in the book. However, you DID blast the AIO about their information on BIOS and their definition of harmonics, and I was simply pointing out that you are incorrect in what you said. And, despite your insistence that they be perfect, I was pointing out how EASY it is to be imperfect by your very own imperfect statements.

For the record, I'm not perfect either, nor do I believe myself to be perfect. Correspondingly, I don't expect everyone else (or books or practice exams or anything created by humans) to be perfect.

I have no idea what you just said.

 

mate no one is angry with you or wanting an argument.

you said this I am really concerned about Mike's "All-in-One Exam Guide" 6th Ed. I will be concerned about quality and usefulness of specialists who use this source and I really concerned about fact that someone can pass exam by learning from the source

Granted you did not actually say it was crap but you were making out that it was completley useless i.e crap when it is not as many many members of CF have used it to pass their CF and the fact that it is the number one book to get to pass the A+.

I have mentioned to you that these errors are corrected on the errata website page.

Don run away because you have had a slight disagreement with someone. BosonMichael and I have had dissagreements, **** happens it's life you just move on and agree to disagree. "It's how you handle things said to you that make you a man not what you say" GBL 2009

 

Apologies for that load of dribble. Of course the BIOS routines are replaced by OS drivers or other installed drivers when the OS loads.

As far as I know ACPI is an interface between the OS and the BIOS, so the OS can communicate with BIOS telling it to power down peripherals, so in fact what I said was rubbish, it’s not BIOS that the OS communicates with, but the ACPI interface in this case.

What I was trying to get across in my response is that BIOS has a collection of drivers that allow the system to interface with devices (before the OS loads), whilst a device driver allows the OS to communicate with a device, so both facilitate the communication between device/s to allow the user to make use of said device/s.

 

We know what you meant and you were correct.
