Don't feel bad, there's vinyl releases out there with MySpace links written on them. I thought that was a bad idea even before the site's downfall. But . . . it's not much different than those expired fan club addresses on releases from the 80s and 90s.
I thought they were releasing a movie all about BitTorrent. Funny thing is I'd pay to a download of a movie about P2P if it were well made and objective. This? I won't even download it for free.
I was enraged looking at every single install screen from 95 onward remembering how many reinstalls and other bugs I had to fix for people. Fortunately around XP's introduction I jumped ship for good, otherwise I'm sure I would be equally disgusted by Vista and Windows 7. The 95 and 98 logos made me feel particularly dreadful. Surprisingly, 3.11 didn't evoke so much anger, maybe because it was virtually useless and DesqView did multitasking better; I usually tossed it to make room for my BBS.
What I find particularly amusing is that, from a technical standpoint, GeOS on a c64 was more of an OS than early Windows. You could do more in GeOS in 1985 than you could with Windows from 1.0 to 2.0 (or arguably 3.0). Tandy's Deskmate was even more useful than Windows, and there were practically no third party apps for it. Early DOS-based versions of Microsoft Works were more useful than Windows for actual productivity, and it even included a terminal program (forced to use XModem though, yuck). We haven't even began entering Amiga and Atari ST territory.
While what you're saying is true, I moved to Debian because of Redhat's RPM hell. While dpkg is not perfect, it's certainly much better. Or maybe it's not, since the last time I ran RH I had to fetch RPMs manually from repositories or (shudder) install CDs.
Anyone who needs what a full-blown UNIX server offers already knows how to do it in Linux or FreeBSD. OS X just adds a layer of confusion, not connivence. Case in point, OS X will let a non-administrator user setup crontabs, but they are erased on reboot. Meanwhile, administrator crontabs stick regardless. The idea is to move to launch daemons but -- why bother with these idiosyncrasies when it's not really broken in the first place? How about config files present in/etc that don't actually do anything? Unless you want to compile everything from source, basic command line tools installed via MacPorts get borked with a major OS upgrade. One of the major incentives of running OS X server is unlimited AFP connections, but even that's duplicatable with netatalk -- not that you even need it anymore since Samba and NFS work just as well now that resource forks as gone.
Why learn new tricks to do the same things you've been doing for years? Apple only provides security updates for the current and prior OS versions; at least with Debian you can keep an older version up to date through backports. A small office that just wants point and click file and printer sharing and Apache are better off with the Mini and a consumer OS anyway. I doubt even Apple's servers are running OS X at this point.
Most anti-government sentiment in Iran is fueled by outside interests and overhyped by Western media. Iran is really one of the more progressive nations in the entire region.

Shredder and Krang already did this in like 1989.

LOL. Yes, but I'm still sour about its demise. Haiku is my only hope for a BeOS revival.
Linux will never achieve that feat.
This is pretty fucking awful.
Yeah, I still don't understand why anyone gives a shit about Chrome.
If I had known how irrelevant school would be to my future I'd do my best to be suspended each day. Well, that tended to happen anyway.
Windows was so buggy and unstable partially because of backward compatibility.

Maybe he means Zmodem rather than SSH/SFTP?
Problem was no one used it, at least not in my area.
Microsoft: Throw Bologna at the Wall; See if it Sticks
Like -- in iE7 or something?
At least I haven't encountered it in years.
You'd be right, but I'd say people began dumping Redhat a little less than a decade ago. It has its supporters, but . . .
Yeah, I think you're right. PQ1 did get a remake for sure though.
Wasn't it already remade once in the 90s? Sierra rereleased all the EGA KQ1, LSL, SQ games with VGA and a modified interface (no typing needed).
This happened to me on 10.5 server. In fact the whole fiasco was documented here.

Dunno, many people seem to be collocating them.
If you're in Mac OS 9 Classilla is a relatively up to date port of Mozilla. I've used it a few times and it's quite nice.
Until a couple years ago iCab was still supported on 68k Macs.
Timberwolf appears to be Firefox for Amigas, granted you probably won't get it running on your 500.
Lynx still runs on pretty much anything if you're willing to compile it, and one can argue it's kept up to date.
I don't see any torture devices here.

"Just imagine if the BBC broadcasted programs in anything but English..."
They do, it's called BBC Arabic, Farsi, etc.
