It's always amusing when some ass comes on and tries to assume that those he disagrees with are ignorant. Um duh, ya, that bittorrent stuff is, um, so complicated. The only thing stupid I see here is you comparing ARPANET with Bit Torrent. P2P technology is not the issue. But the open ended search engines that make use of it
Thanks for your opinion. The only OS that has a fairly consistent GUI is OS X, don't even try to say any distro of Linux does. Installing software isn't easy? Double-click an icon, wow, thats hard! What do you suggest, in your infinite wisdom, for a home user? Something that you can do home user things on like play games,
Dream on .... hehe Its easy to prove linux is a usable as windows. Just as easy as it is to prove that windows as usable as linux
Citizen Ka806 ...... This Site....and this forum.... in which you spout your 'slant' on who should need to 'zip it' is brought to you [almost] wholely by the person you are telling to 'zip it'. Without Stardock and its funding/coding/administration this site would not exist.....hence comments in #40 are pretty bloody rele
Yeah people will get it and i will bring it. 1. YES MS IS A MONOPOLY AND THEY DO PERFORM MONOPOLISTIC PRACTICES. To think otherwise is just plain blindness. When a company goes to individual hardware suppliers and forces them to bundle windows with that hardware, knowing full well that the OS is totally complementing the computer hardware, you are practicing anti-competetive tactics. When you release software that forcibly disallow incompata
Ok this is getting stupid. If people want money for doing this or that so be it. But just because you spend time doing something, doesnt mean you should get money for it. Pretty soon people will want money for breathing. The concept of a simple "hobby" is falling in the name of capitalism . But so be it, Skinners can start charging collectively,
The other day I was looking around to see how widely available our stuff is from thieves. I found Orion icons up there. What's the excuse to pirate Orion icon's? They're what? $8? The effort involved in creating thousands of icons should be obvious to anyone and yet there they were, people pirating them. But that's
I found it to be a bad ruling, because it dont make sense. The ruling states that those who "promote" p2p can be sued. WTH is that supposed to mean really. Nobody should be pleased with this ruling at all, because it is a BS ruling It can be fought from all angles in court, It doesnt mean a damn thing at all to Kazaa, and it seems like this ruling was made to satisfy people's whims. If the courts really cared, they would have made
AMD vs Intel. Thats always a fun topic. 1st is 1st though. The potential and capabilities that 64 bit offer over their 32 bit counter parts are enormous. It is very obvious, that there will be a shift going on. Of course there will be naysayers to this shift, but these are the same people who doubted previous large scale shifts like this. We went from pII to pIII to P4. Welcome to the realm of technology...things change. The thin
Darwin is OS X without the pretty interface, Just no. Read up about OS architecture before running your mouth.
Darwin is the guts of OS X. Any version of MacOS can be broken down into two equally important parts... the innards of the system, and the user interface layer. Aqua is part of the UI. So is Expose etc... The UI layer on a Mac is very complex and involved. Plus, as much as people like KDE/GNOME etc... they don't eve
The thing is that the people who design the GUIs are the ones who have used computers. There is WAY too much that computers do these days. And also it is strickly speaking a different playing field. I say forget all this discussion about GUI intuitiveness for the new user. What NEEDs to happen is better documentation for those who never used computers. The BEST way to approach interfaces, is with consistency. Changing things
some guis can be better than others though. On windows, there is a clear and definate start button which implies the obvious, that that is where you start grasping the concept of a computer interface. Mac OSX however (which has gone south in temrs of interface accessibility) has its little osx bar in the bottom and a status bar uptop. You really have no clue how to approach it. Interface development is as much an art as
All this argueing over a OS that isn't even released yet... BOOGA BOOGA!1!!!
'an argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.' it is not i that has continually felt the need to define this argument in absolutes admin jafo. indeed my only contradiction has been to deny that the p2p filesharing issue can be defined in the narrow terms that you propose, something t
This debate got real pointless real fast. It seems like people are debating over what a debate is ........or something like that.
You know ill gladly answer some of your questions. ( For my sake) 1. I use file sharing to get music, movies, and software 2. Im as young as I feel I am =P 3. I do produce music, and software 4. I give away all the music I make. I make software on the side and give it away. And of course any software I make for work, must obviously be for profit <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/BigSmile.gif" bo
I see your point. But it is still at its core an ntfs partition. Services for file storage and file management may be implemeted along with the concept of winfs. But it aint no new bare bones file structure.
I don't care what y'all think that I know. I reckon all y'all are doing is passive reading and easy criticism. MS has blogs and Channel9: if you want to be more active and less viper tongues, go check it out! Oh here it comes again. More on you telling me on how much I looked into Longhorn. OOo yay bl
Hehe Im in the process of reworking my partitioning scheme. Gonna section off 20 gigs for a nice NTFS partition, then 20 gigs for linux (including swap, reiserfs, and seperate ext2 boot) and a very large fat32 partition for my data (music, movies, games, source code, etc). Looks like i will be backing up my data and diving right in
Ok then cool. I have a slew of partitions across my two drives (one of which is IDE and the other is SATA) I would love to use NTFS, but the linux ability to write to a NTFS is buggy at best, so i stick with FAT32. Im guessing that windows partioner still doesnt consider those hardware limitations. My MOBO is new, im not sure on the IDE support, but i believe its > than 100. Bah and I dont wanna buy partition Magic.</fo
Arguably if they are included it's to repair the 'holes' in the OS and not competitive at all. Afterall, all those AV companies out there are simply profitting on the MS OS failings.....so what 'IF' MS were to produce a virus-proof OS? Would likely kill Symantec, etc, but anti-competitive? No. Having car tyres tha
At a command prompt type 'convert /?' without the quotes. It'll explain the options. No extra proggy needed at all... Ok cool thanks. Is there any inconsistancies that occur when doing this that dont arrise when jut reformatting as NFTS? Oh and can I go to NFTS to FAT32, and i
Ok I guess I will step back into the fray here. There are a lot of issues that people fail to realize 1. The intellectual property argument is not the same as the copyrights argument. I would say put that argument somewhere else. 2. No the supreme court is not the gurus on life affairs. To say that the right choice is the one imposed by law is just stupid. They are those that impose the law. God forbid they follow some Kant's and
