Comments:
<0> CryHavoc: just like settings files for BSD/Linux being stored in text files within /etc :P
<1> IE 7 is goona be out in March tey say
<0> CryHavoc: sometimes old ways work better than not so old but old enough to know better than to use that POS way
<2> IamKing: omg outdated!111one (even though MS now has their grubby paws all the **** over XML...)
<1> thats different IamKing
<3> wolfy all those problems I was having .. that I attributed to firefox .. they were my hard drive.
<1> XML will remain an open standard
<0> CryHavoc: no, it's the same issue...text files to store settings regardless of what extension they use
<4> CB: naw.. you still had a serious memory leak in FF... the HD wouldn't explain it ****ing down a gig of ram if left open over night
<2> I'm saying they're all over it, as in, they're using it extensively.
<0> it doesn't matter how they store the text either
<0> it's still significantly better than using the Windows Registry
<2> Lupine: I've left mine on for days and .. lemme open up top
<1> BSD and Linux use a GUI as a toss in..it is not necessary to have it
<2> 83838 tweek 4 20 0 136M 93716K kserel 882:59 15.38% firefox-bin
<5> I used to hangout at the firefox chat at mozilla and watch the bug reports and fixes come through.
<3> wolfy they must've fixed it because I haven't had anymore problems
<2> 100mb, same as always. acceptable IMO.
<1> to manage your 2.000 ini files
<2> CryHavoc: MS already has something that does that and adds the data as registry entries
<0> CryHavoc: you still have the Bill Gates's teabagged bitch niche market pretty much all to yourself ;)
<0> heheheh
<6> CryHavoc : What is the replacement of ini files ?
<4> ini/text files wouldn't be so bad, if it was all stored in a single directory.. and any programmer who doesn't, is publically dragged out and shot
<2> Lupine: good luck making everyone do that
<2> especially with ten thousand ways to do it...
<1> IamKing still has the Steve Jobs to him slef...maybe Mac will get .004 % of DT market
<4> tweek: constitutional amendment, allowing any private citizen to execute the programmer :-)
<2> I'd like to see WinFS organize everything more carefully.
<0> Lupine: probably why BSD's/Linux's way of putting all those settings in /etc is superior to the old DOS/Win3.1 days :)
<2> Lupine: and you think you had problems getting students for CS *before* this?
<2> IamKing: local/etc and X11R6/etc make for a nice extension, too
<1> ini files with modern apps would be hilarious...
<1> Adobe Ini file would be novel sized
<1> I can deal with the registry no prob
<7> Wow. How long can these liberals try to squeeze water from a stone?
<7> Seriously, hunting accident. It happens. Whoop-de-****in-do.
<2> oh yeah, rc.d = ***
<1> Cheney needs to invite some Dem senators along next time
<2> it's so ****ing easy to manage everything ... it's all right there.
<8> has anyone heard of Michael Savage
<2> meanwhile Merjin is still trying to categorize the numerous ways a process can be set to start on boot in Windows...
<0> Maria's best feature: http://www.strangepersons.com/images/content/110919.jpg
<8> what the hell tweek
<2> if they fix anything in Vista, it should be that.
<9> crispy the libs gotta make mountains out of mole hills -- now back to Katrina news....
<1> Vista will have some interesting surprises
<2> reorganize everything so it makes sense. move away from outdated **** that no one uses. make it easier to control one's computer
<5> my adobe application settings are in "application data" in documents and settings and they are almost 30 MB and mostly text files.
<10> if more anti msoft flamers put as much effort into learning how to configure windows they wouldn't have as many(claimed) probs i bet
<2> that much I'll admit
<10> as they had to to learn xix however much they know
<9> easy - stuff you use goes to head of the list! :)
<9> stuff you want to keep -- disc it!
<1> Espectro...that smacks of fell efficiency!!!
<2> nothing's clearly specified, though; there's little clear access to the core stuff that makes it work, and most of the controls that you do get to fiddle around with are organized in an awkward GUI format
<10> sure once it's learned some of the /etc files seem easy
<2> and even then, if you've ****ed around with other stuff, it may not do what it says.
<10> but most spent some serious time learning about them
<0> holy ****...that makes a nice centered wallpaper on my 1280 x 1024 screen
<0> god damn
<2> I spent over two days trying to get an XP install to accept anonymous SMB requests...
<11> OMG, 1280 x 1024?!
<11> :D
<2> IamKing: good idea actually... but I've had my Calvin and Hobbes wallpaper up for ****ing ever
<10> well manning up to speed on samba isn't a piece of cake either
<9> ya ya -- rotate the wallpaper ...
<10> as in manpage
<4> Iam: eh? wallpaper for your PDA or something?
<0> tweek: lol
<11> manpages -- is there anything more useless?
<10> not that it's super hard
<2> Espectro: but smb.conf is really the only way Samba can be configured.
<0> occ2: yes, Windows Help
<0> heheheh
<10> but a couple/few days isn't that bad
<2> you change it once, and you know it's changed.
<12> So Cheny shot Dan Quail. Wow
<2> there are a few UI-ish tools that automatically manage smb.conf too...
<10> i get it by making the machines real insecure likely
<11> gaga
<2> Windows Help ... ****
<11> pffff
<2> they're written for people that prefer to just ask other people for help
<1> lol
<11> windows help > manpages
<11> lets admit it!Q
<1> hahaha
<2> they're written for people that don't know how to access it
<10> manpages give great understanding mostly
<11> manpages just show you the possible flags
<1> I jsut snag a e book on OS
<11> and thats it
<11> hehe
<1> Abusix help
<2> manpages are at least explicit. Windows Help ... you never know what the hell you're getting
<10> but many pc users don't have such ambitions
<9> then double or triple it when you are networked .... several times over
<9> or the time to do so
<1> Linux help is rather cut and dry
<13> heh
<13> like "there is none"
<14> well. can you believe what Al Gore did?
<11> linux is easy to use because people finally got around to making it tolerable, heh
<1> salstress what??
<11> before it was like, "WHAT?!"
<10> i have to relearn stuff all the time w/ bsd and windows
<10> i don't feel like keeping up
<15> windows help never really helps
<10> and once i get it set i worry about little of it
<14> his speech to the saudis bashing the US, CryHavoc
<11> i cant imagine what youd need windows help for
<15> "have you updated your drivers?"
<15> "yes'
<2> ---> Upgrade of www/mozilla ended at: Mon, 13 Feb 2006 21:16:33 -0700 (consumed 00:20:37)
<15> 'is there still a problem?"
<2> holy ****. 20 hours
<15> 'yes'
<11> Time is 11:27pm, computer has been up for 8m 26s
<1> the algore needs a click in the head
<11> hehe
<15> "contact the manufacturer'
<11> yo guys, check out my uptime
<15> ...thanks.
<11> Time is 11:27pm, computer has been up for 8m 39s
<0> dukeyy: hahahah...so true

<11> what, no nixon?
<1> Uptime: 5days 5hrs 6mins

<14> did Nixon go to China and bash the US?
<1> no
