yea ok its not, anything newer is a radical redesign of the chip, for one the bus is not directly connected to the cpu like it is in a 486, its closest family member is a pentium II
um I had to do it maybe once a month, and hey fucktard system restore doesn't wipe your work or your emails, you would know that if you got off your podium for a moment and I dunno tried it?
yes there is a typical linux answer its everyone else's problem our software works fine
that applies to zilch in the real world, and I seriously hope your not comparing windows automatically finding a IP address to installing 3 random packages that on every other system is a 1 click download and go
Something talking to you that doesn't know when to shut the fuck up, and only understands about 40% of what you say should really help safety, but at least you will know your gas mileage down to the 4th decimal
heat is wasted work, the more your heating up the more work you could have done with the same energy
how did we get to set top boxes? mine contains a rather slow ARM chip and does high quality video, my 200Mhz pentium can studder its way through a Mpeg1 file huge difference and proves frequency != power
and if you dont know the differences tween an atom and a i7 I am not going to spend my time educating you, I suggest you google it as there are a billion websites that will tell you every difference tween every CPU made besides I said 386 and i7 so I dont know why I am wasting my time even talking to you if your not going to read
That is exactly what I do, but even I grow tired of linux desktop
its fine as a workspace, its fine as a server, its fine for everything that linux is fine for, but desktop use is like a yo-yo, oh its getting really oh fuck it three projects forked and what the hell is kde doing?
last night I visited mod archive, and wanted to use its web player, which uses java and I didnt have it installed
Firefox pops up "you need a plug in" do its little search thing cant find shit, goto java's site there is source and RPM but no deb and I really dont feel like compiling software to listen to chiptunes
BUT thank god it was in the software manager thingie! fired it up let it install, restarted firefox "you need a plug in"
so now its a half hour later and I am digging around in a fucking ubuntu forum trying to figure out the magical cryptic command to get fucking java working in a browser, I finally found
restarted firefox and OMG it works but now I have to go to bed. WTF, you seriously want people like my parents using this garbage as a mainstream OS? I don't even want to deal with it anymore, cause every single little nitpicky thing turns into a pain in the ass, and there are a trillion variations so it never seems to ever be "fixed" it just moves around distros
well not only that but laptop bricks. they tweaked a way to run a laptop and a 100 watt usb port off of a 90 watt crap china unit that gets soft when used for more than an hour from heat?
while being X times smaller and using 1/3rd of the power, besides thats a pretty bad example as it was designed using the P4 and it does not represent modern technology, but that does not matter it should be the exact same power as a 1.6ghz Pentium///?
and forget about multi core for a second, your telling me that a pentium running a single core application at 3GHZ would perform just as well as a i7 running the same single core application? That the only thing that has happened in the last 20 years is that clock speeds rose and no other functionality was introduced into the i386 architecture so the cpu can process more complex data in shorter times?
if you think windows is going to radically change in 2 years, well it really hasnt since 1995 in its basic function and use, so it will be safe especially with a decade of backsoftware
really you dont need the latest and greatest for many subjects, stickybear reading and math blaster still function just fine
so your saying that processors have not gotten more powerful over the last 2 decades and if I could overclock my pentium90 to 3ghz it would perform exactly the same as a i7
clearly in the summary that also states "something called the ping of death" what they are calling the ping of death isnt the ping of death on the other side of the country, and it didnt have much to do with bandwidth flooding it was about dumping so much shit into their system at once it would crack and possibly give you an entry vector, but it was worthless a decade ago cause post 486 days you had enough horsepower to just chew through it
It really didn't do much unless your bombing your buddies dialup server, and thus tying up your dialup line. I guess it could be slightly annoying if you could get a shit ton of people to do it today

sounds better than the chemicals they use now
your more likely to find oil in your back yard than write software that will not get you sued into the ground due to some blatantly fraudulent patent
a super nice P3 with 512 megs still runs XP pretty decent, just dont go nutty on the net

yes I did not say I was on google drooling on my desk, I had to try a few different things cause I am not on ubuntu and mint's forums suck
point is its a simple fucking download and go on mainstream OS's, but oh no not on linux!
oh theres my little linux troll stalker, how you doing bud

until the end then if your still sucking 19 amps its still going to suck 19 amps no matter how gradual you pushed it up there

fuck off spammer
I am sure Mark is pissing his pants ...
There's the scared little apple fan who just about had an aneurysm cause someone does not NEED the new SJ toy!
I was starting to worry
I have seen a many amazing chunks of hardware to be instantly crippled by windows implementation
we will see what happens this round
whoever wins sucks
whats even better is they dont know removing autoexec.bat will speed booting up
