    Thats because NT is based on Mach-UNIX, which is dog slow. BTW, its also the basis for Darwin.

  12. Reading on Defining Video Game Addiction · · Score: 1

    By your logic i think Im addicted to reading. I spend my vacations and every free moment before and after school reading something. Whether it's /., articles, or fantasy books, I get really upset when i cant. When Im forced to study - therefore read something not interesting to me, I pretty much turn pschotic at school. Either start to laugh incesantly and deeply about something pointless, or express rabid anger via body language about something equaly pointless. But that happens in social situations only. Otherwise, I just pace like a father in front of the birth clinic and keep to myself. Well, I guess I am an addict but I think life itself is a form of addition on some level - say food, finding a mate, etc., only I have replaced some of my worldly needs (sex and a relationship) with something more into my reach (reading and thinking). Although its been like this much of my life, I only discovered my condition when I started watching Dr House and saw me in it all. Better than being a drugie, but that'll probably change as well.

    What we need ia './configure&&make&&make install clean' GUI and development guidlines just enough to avid breakage when compiling. I think GoboLinux is on track, also I'm really excited with the prospect of using the p9 protocol, much like mainframe apps use IP at memory speeds. </soapbox>

    Have you tried NetBSD? FreeBSD might not work on everything, but for what it doesnt make friends with out-of-the box, Netbsd runs great as far as I know. Besides, even it can outperform OSX hands down. Why the heck did you lock your selfs in with apple is what worries me.

    1)the distinction between OS and the rest of the system is an ADVANTAGE. That way when you upgrade the OS, it doesnt automagicaly break all the apps. It (FBSD) is pretty much the most internaly consistent and back-/forward-compatible OS except windows. 2)No, it doesnt make much of a differrence. Of course, FBSD wont fully support something two hours after its released, like linux, but other than that, its the same. 3)

    Of course, they run in binary..

    Fixed that for you.

    The reason for linux mode to exist in FBSD is to run propietary linux binaries. They are pretty much guarantied to work, otherwise maintaining it would be almost pointless. Btw, ever tried to hand compile something on linux and make it play nice with the rest of the system? Oh, the fun! Not a troll, just pointing out some things. My $0.02.

    Use of PDF It is widely stated that Quartz "uses PDF" internally, often by people making comparisons with the Display PostScript technology used in NeXTSTEP (of which Mac OS X is a descendant) and OPENSTEP. Quartz's internal imaging model correlates well with the PDF imaging model, making it easy to output PDF to multiple devices, but Quartz does not use PDF as an internal representation.[6]
