<0> in your wet dreams
<1> I was camping outside Babbages in August 95 waiting for 95 to hit the shelves. I purchased the limit of 8 copies the first day, and within the second week I owned 32 licenses for Microsoft Windows 95, all at 119.99.
<2> Isn't google just packaging yet another linux distribution?
<3> l984 your a chump
<4> google cube/
<0> the only way microsoft will fall is if they sabatoge themselves severely
<0> ie if vista ends up being a complete joke while they simultainiously attempt to force everybody to upgrade
<2> suna: I was hoping WfW 3.11 would be the ticket
<0> that will not be a triumph of any other os, it will be the failure of microsoft
<3> linux is better than xp
<2> but they survived it :(
<3> anyone in the cs field will tell you that
<0> by what standards cameleon?
<0> not really, the average fetish nowadays is to talk m***ive **** about linux and **** the nuts of bsd
<3> suna by how effient it uses the cpu
<3> xp has the cpu spending alot of its cycles doing garbage
<1> I graduated Cal Tech magna cum laude in 98 with a major in computer science, I'm not a chump.
<5> The popular view of our ancient ancestors as hunters who conquered all
<5> in their way is wrong, researchers have told a major US science
<5> conference.
<5> Interesting...
<3> l984 your a lying chump
<2> 1984: by 98 I had been working over twenty years chump :)
<5> I don't know if Evolution is still considered a 'political' topic here, though.
<0> peole in the cs field were all over linux's nuts 5-10 years ago when the average joe didn't use it:)
<0> now that it's becoming semi-popular on a national scale, they all find this need to talk a lot of **** about it
<0> even though nothign significant has changed
<1> I'm such a chump I support software by not pirating it, but paying the people who work hard and devote their time to allow us to have these products. You are the thief so I guess that makes you the chump.
<0> I've always liked linux btw
<0> :P
<2> whippersnappers
<3> suna its the linux kernal. its way more cpu effient than xp. you can do alot more with the same cpu because it knows how to use the cpu cycles
<2> bud`: It's spelled N-e-t-B-S-D
<4> LUNIX
<2> nonono
<1> Linux is nice but I prefer BSD if I'm going to use any unix variant.
<3> l984 buying copies of microsoft os that your not going to use just to support the company is the stupidest thing I've heard in a long time
<2> me too '894
<0> Cameleon: sure, but in linux's present state the average user isn't in a position to care about that cameleon
<2> er 1984
<2> I used some Linux when I'm forced to
<1> Cameleon: hahaha sounds stupid to you, but I'm rich beyond belief so I don't care.
<3> suna duh
<0> so, from the standpoint of 99% of people who use computers, win xp is begtter
<3> l984 your such a lying chump
<0> better
<0> i mean face it
<0> if it wasn't for an operating system like windows
<0> cs jobs would hardly even exist
<4> i've never needed anything above what a minimal finely tuned slackware linux box offers. and that's grreeeat
<2> It was all over when Unix V7 stopped being distributed...
<5> Excellent comic strip about science and politics: http://www.doonesbury.com/strip/dailydose/index.html?uc_full_date=20060305
<6> the sad truth ladies and gents
<3> suna thats because software have xp drives. and thats because linux is open source so no one can make money off of it.
<4> Cameleon you can make money off it
<3> if linux was close source it would be another story. it would be a much better os than microsoft. and if software and hardware made drivers for it, it would take over
<0> well, open source has a hell of a lot to do with variosu things, but linux is compatible with almost all hardware used in the microsoft world nowdays
<0> even the proprietary devices
<0> ati, nvdia, all of em
<0> have proprietary drivers that work beautifully
<0> hardware compatibility is NOT holding linux back
<6> things are starting to change, as far as desktop linux is concerned
<3> everyone at MIT uses linux
<3> everyone knows its a better os
<0> you're failing to make a **** worth of a point cameleon
<1> Making money is easy if you have job qualifications, college degree from somewhere prestigious, and experience in the field, all which I have so I'm not going to be worried about money for the rest of my life. I'm going to be retiring in the next 5 years. Who is the chump now Cameleon?
<4> i know for a fact nasa JPL uses a lot of linux
<0> do you work in cs cameleon?
<3> l984 I can tell your lying chump, because I real man wouldn't put so much effort into proving something to some nickname on irc.
<0> yah, everythign important in the world uses *nix
<0> but it requires a knowelge of how to use it
<0> blah
<0> nevermind
<1> I'll be a life-long supporter for Microsoft. I've met some of the developers, very highly motivated people who produce superior product.
<7> SUPERIOR
<7> Popcockery
<0> the point is just don't come in here bashing microsoft for serving it's purpose and creating your job
<4> l984 cool, couple of em hang in here
<3> l984 you must be 14 or 15 year old
<4> from what I gather most of hate everything to do with ms
<0> i find most people, say 95% at least, who come on irc and bash microsoft all day long have a lot of things that wouldn't exist if it wern't for windows
<0> usually a job
<0> not to mention their entire basis of communication
<0> yah, you're gonna talk to your 65 year old dad over the internet...using netbsd
<0> SURE THERE BUDDY
<0> I MET YA ARE
<0> bet:)
<1> I've met all kinds of developers from the people working under open source to the IT security developers for Microsoft. By far the Microsoft people have a way better orientation of where their product is going, hence why it's still closed source.
<3> suna I doubt what your saying is true. all those CS developers that work for bill gates would have just worked for another company.
<7> Explorer crashes, all these new security updates don't help me, what such as taking away raw sockets
<0> cameleon: another company that would have done the exact same thing
<1> It's not just some guy living in his mom's basement hacking his kernel source. Microsoft developers have a little more cl*** than that.
<7> Yeah
<0> created a closed source os with pretty gui (quick and dirty code irrelivant) with the intent on making moneyh
<7> They do it like lapdogs for money
<0> that was gonna happen
<3> suna maybe, maybe not. maybe they would have spread amongst a couple big companies
<5> Too nerdy...
<5> Anyone want to hear a math joke?
<7> I do
<0> not gonna happen cameleon. One OS would win unless there were more than one completely identical os's
<5> Let epsilon be a large number.
<0> would a company train their employees how to use two different operating systems?
<0> hell no
<0> they pick one
<0> they picked windows
<1> DOS was revolutionary compared to Unix. Unix was way too advanced to bring to the mainstream home based PC user. Microsoft saw a golden opportunity and acted like any professional business would.
<0> the entire world was going to agree on the prevailiant end-user os
<0> period.
<3> suna identical os's? maybe the shell would have the OS appear to be identical while the kernals are completely different
<0> in our world, it was windows. Shoot bill gates, he was never born. What changes? the name
<0> that's about it
<0> wouldn't be windows, but there'd be something almost exactly the same
<0> still closed source, still proprietary, still all the other things you love to bitch about
<0> it was necessary
<7> I984, that doesn't make their product superior, that has nothing to do with this
<0> itw as going to happen
<6> Kilohurt: technical difficulties it seems :/
<8> MS OS is open source
<8> you just need the $
<8> and the trust
<3> lol
<8> MS has an exchange program now where source is available
<3> stfu DrDetr0it you idiot
<1> DOS is rather efficient, and Windows kernels are developed with as much as precision as any Linux kernel.
<3> when you need the trust and the money that means its closed source
<7> Yeah that was a pretty dumb comment detroit
<8> nice you resort to ad homs you missed ***hole from your father's side during your conception
<0> cameleon: your ability to come on irc and bitch about microsoft (and there actually being people here to listen to you) is the result of microsoft
<1> OK rudeness, let's take it down a couple notch. Thanks.
<8> um, MS OS source is available
<0> now again, microsoft is just some name
<3> suna who said I bitch?
<8> what's the problem
<0> just some guys who did it first
<3> I never bitched
<0> but if it wasn't them, ti'd be someone else
<0> doing the same thing
<8> what, don't you have the source to 2k and XP and Longhorn ?
<8> you outta da loop man
<8> get a good job
<5> Someone on here insisted that there were twice as many integers as even integers.
<8> heh - and then there is the response from the Open Source commuinty when MS put Win95 out as a possible candidate for open source
<8> comparison was - gee, Netscape is 28 million lines - that's too much to figure out
<1> What's even more interesting to look at than operating systems is processors and how they are advancing in leaps and bounds right now.
<0> i have to go finish this stupid *** essay, bbl
<8> let alone 70 million lines for W95
<5> suna - What's the essay on?
