Comments:
<0> i've moved too much to keep that kind of thing
<1> well going from win 3.11 to win95 was a huge revalation
<2> one of my pc in the lab runs win 3.1 been 10 yrs
<3> i found a rar on the internet of msdos 6.22
<4> yea i have all the old os's archived
<4> heh
<1> i remember the computers at elementary school with the HUGE trackball built into the keyboard
<0> i have a CD somewhere with all my old dos/win versions on it
<1> one the the games was to build a robot or something
<0> imaged the floppies before i tossed em :P
<4> never be able to buy original floppies again :(
<4> http://meetme.hotornot.com/r/?emid=KUOYOLE <-- why do lesbians think this is attractive?
<1> too bad those super drives never took off, they would have been so much better then keeping floppies alive until today.
<0> doesnt matter, most my floppies got killed with an experiment of mine
<0> phire: cuz it looks like a guy
<4> experiment?
<1> becuase lesbians like to lie to themselves ?
<0> yeah
<1> superdrives were leet 120 megs on a single disk, Unheard of!
<0> i make my door frame into an electromagnet that was operated by the room's lightswitch
<0> made*
<0> i had 'sensitive' material saved on floppies at the time
<0> including a fairly expansive virus collection
<4> ahh nice
<0> and exploit tools
<4> excellent idea
<0> so the idea was, if i got busted, anyone walks out the door with my disks....gone
<0> no evidence
<1> sounds like a dumb idea to be honest
<0> heh
<0> wel
<0> it worked
<1> id probably burn something the very first day
<0> hehe
<4> had to be a semi powerful magnet
<0> it was an electromagnet, running off the houses 120V
<1> remember the days of dual/shotgun modems ?
<0> powerful enough
<5> Number17 yuck
<5> from diamond
<1> a few years before broadband broke through..
<0> the problem was, when i was moving out i had forgotten about it
<1> i remember at one point they even sold quad modems
<4> Kuragari lol
<0> walked through the door and wiped 99% of my disks
<0> it screwed some of my HDs too
<4> http://meetme.hotornot.com/r/?emid=KMHLARE <-- omg the bush
<0> had to low level em and start over
<4> Kuragari, at least you know it worked
<5> Number17 i remeber the first 3d cards in 1996 with only 2 million transistors.. now most modern ones have at least 380+ million transistors
<0> yeah
<0> if i had ever been busted i woulda thanked god
<0> hehe
<5> double speed CD-ROM cost over 800$
<5> 16MB RAM
<1> stop pasting us the uglies
<0> by that time it didnt matter anyways, i had everything important stores on outside sources and on CDs
<0> stored*
<1> i like to remain ignorant, and point and click everywhere, and just plug **** in and expect it to work.
<5> Number17 well. that's how it should be
<1> and so.. linux will never really take off, unless MS finally builds a windows like shell ontop of it :)
<0> yeah, that's what they said 7 years ago when it was mainy just a console
<5> i don't know why they still insist on leave the latncy connectors on new motherboards like floppy, parraple, PS2
<0> and in the last 2 years it's caught up quick
<1> it still remains a minority OS
<0> Lozer2: backwards compatability
<0> minority to what?
<0> as personal workstations maybe
<0> it still dominates for servers
<0> which is what its for in the first place
<0> and the only competition is OSX and MS
<0> OSX is built on freebsd, so therefor its not really competition
<0> so windows is the only other factor
<1> i consider unix and linux seperate OS's
<0> well you can consider redhat and slackware to be 2 different OS's if you want
<0> but its all based on the same thing
<4> yea, some distros just get it down better than others
<3> yeah speaking of latency, i dont have a fdd installed anymore
<4> and the problem with some like redhat, is that they spend too much time trying to please the newbies that don't want to learn the actual linux OS
<0> what my point was gonna be is that OSX is not going to be intel compatable, and rumor has it that apple might be opening it to other hardware platforms completely
<1> until linux becomes as easy to use as windows there really isnt much competition for the desktop OS
<0> to compete directly with MS
<0> and OSX is easier than windows to use
<1> but i dont need computer experience to be completely controlled by apple
<0> MacOS has always been easier than windows
<4> if only I could play my windows games in fbsd i wouldn't even use windows
<0> blame that on the game developers
<0> UT2k3 and 2k4 came with linux binaries
<6> When accepting a video or music file over msn messenger, diring the transfer its not available to preview file till its completed, although during transfer it doesnt get showed on thre Received Files, where in the Hard drive is it saving it to? Temporarily? and under the same name as the file or under somethign else?
<0> and actually alot of games can be played with WineX
<1> bleh emulation, if you accept winex you must also accept java and all its l33tness
<0> java is gay
<1> so then winex is also :)
<0> i also dont really play many games tho
<4> i don't either but
<4> when i do...
<0> heh
<1> yeah sadly you cant do a lot of fun things on linux
<0> i have a windows box for 2 reasons
<0> photoshop and games
<0> and i rarely play games
<1> i always play games
<0> i want a mac
<0> heh
<4> same, but because of it my bsd boxes sit over in the corner
<4> under the bed
<4> etc
<0> my linux box sits right next to this one
<7> ummm game developers aren't at fault there
<7> blame the lack of APIs
<0> yes they are
<1> meh everything i want is already ordered.
<0> lack of APIs?
<0> wtf do they need APIs for?
<1> 24" screen on the way..
<7> Kuragari: You think it's practical to hand-code support for every piece of hardware like it was back in the DOS days? LOL
<0> ...
<7> no, the problem is the API support on linux is bad, because the OS developers can never agree on jack
<0> dude
<0> ok, so it UT2k4 has linux binaries that means they coded everything by hand?
<0> no
<0> that means they put the effort into making a linux binary
<0> which is not hard
<1> ohh ****, its dissension among the linux group
<7> yes as long as you're using OpenGL and not using too many modern features
<4> Number17, never!
<0> no, its an arguement between a windows n00b gamer and someone that knows his ****
<7> Kuragari: no, it's an argument between an internationally published journalist that writes for a gaming magazine and two IT magazines and has done open source development, and some peon on IRC
<0> lol
<1> not like it matters, linux repersents such a small percentage of the desktop market, why would companies bother doing anything to support it at all ?
<0> Number17: because it works
<7> Number17: true, even viruses don't support it :)
<4> they don't support it because no one uses it
<0> that's the whole problem anyways, people dont put the effort into supporting a better project, they just go the easy way
<1> and no one uses it becuase its not userly friendly
<1> having to go through 30 minutes of **** with fedora to get gaim working ? wtf is that, windows doesnt give me **** like that.
<7> exactly. Any time someone tries to update Linux with modern APIs, an argument starts, the project forks, and now you've got half the manpower reinventing wheels on both sides, repeat ad infinitum until the project dies
<1> death to linux as a desktop OS
<0> Number17: first of all, its fedora
<0> redhat always has, and always will ****
<0> second, if anything takes me 30 minutes to install, it's not worth using
<0> i find something that works
<0> doesnt matter what OS
<1> what did i mispell fedora ?
<0> what, you didnt know fedora is redhat?
<1> i had no idea what you were correcting thats all.
<1> "<0> Number17: first of all, its fedora" how would you take that ?
<0> i would take it as fedora being ****ty
<0> i finished the sentance in my second line
<0> heh
<1> linux is ****ty, when something doesnt work right, you have to bend over backwards and sick your head into your *** to get it working.
