You mean like, T-Pain, Eminem, Britney Spears, Disturbed, Celine Dion, Rihanna, Nickleback, Diddy, 3 Doors Down, etc?
Any chance that bluescreen is an "IRQL Not less or equal" error? Is your proc a hyperthreading proc?
I had that problem for YEARS with Tascam's horrifyingly shit-awful US122 external "Pro Audio" sound module. Tascam's solution was to advise users to turn off hyperthreading in the bios. Fuck Tascam.
Quake 2 won't run? Is this with RTM release? And what do you mean by derivatives? What games? I want to test this out myself.
Confusing for you. I have been primarily a user of Windows since 95. During that time, I have run a number of distros with varying degrees of success, with the best user experience being Slackware.
Quit posting your opinion as if it were a fact. I have been running Windows 7 RC fine for a few months now. If you don't like it, fine, just shut the fuck up about it, you obsessive cunt.
Because why again? You have obviously run every version of Vista available on every conceivable hardware configuration imaginable, right?
You have worked in this field for over 25 years now, I think that would be enough time to accurately test Vista with the myriad combinations of hardware and software available since launch 2 years ago.
Choice is usually a great thing. I love that there are many web browsers, ides, windows managers, and distros available. The big problem I personally see is many, not all, developers, if not careful, can lean far too much to the side of the "Cathedral" development model without realizing it. So what the hell does Lennart Poettering have against end users that he thinks he can simply dismiss the valid criticism of Pulseaudio? I personally will not get into the technical aspects of it because it's beyond me, suffice to say that I don't have a problem with Pulse itself, but with the way users are not allowed a choice in the matter.
It's not that big of a deal if you don't need your computer to do anything special with sound, but if you are like me, you would want your distro of choice (Ubuntu is mine) to be able to run Alsa and Jack without any interference from other sound servers.
Plus, there are far too many choices in sound server available, at least in Ubuntu.
No, YOU are the one who has a basic lack of reading comprehension. The Doctor was specifically not advocating smoking, but merely advocating the use of Nicotine in another, less dangerous form.
quote:"Usability is the most important feature they should be concerned about, and both Vista and Win7 are steps backwards in usability"
Which is why, when the RC came out, I installed it alongside Ubuntu, I quickly realized that usability in my case meant that I have been able to be far more productive running the RELEASE CANDIDATE of Windows 7 than I ever was running Ubuntu, since when I want to create and record music, I would rather not have to recompile or install another kernel just in the hopes that I might get lower latency.
So if you don't like Windows 7, that's certainly your right, but I have running running the RC just fine since release .
With the proliferation of high capacity disks, and concurrently HUGE collections of media, why would anyone in their right mind want to sync their music from their collection onto a device with around 6 gb of free space?
And that does not even factor in saving space for photos and other documents.
Really? Ubuntu? AND Firefox? with close to 80 tabs filled with flash and ajax? Color me skeptical!
Running 8.10 here on a 2.8 ghz intel box, with a gig of ram, and firefox cannot handle even a moderate amount of flash content without locking up, turning gray, and eating shit. It's so bad I have been considering trying to find a tabbed version of links2 to run in -g mode.
You might want to consider making a PMV, or Process Map Visual, for the process required.
Where I work, workers are mostly mobile, so we have a central location at appropriate workstations with large posters of the PMV, then in training we have 8.5x11 copies laminated.
Maybe in your case you could supply a small copy for each workstation?
"The problem is that people are lazy and will use whatever is bundled because it is already there. IE gains marketshare just because nobody cares enough to switch."
Exactly. And fuck them if they don't care. There is plenty of choice in the web browser market now, and again, how is anyone supposed to be able to download their browser of choice in Windows without one already installed? Of course anyone with rudimentary knowledge of a unix/linux command line, a similar aptitude for using Aptitude, or, Synaptic, or simple apt-get could do it with no problem.
So maybe I am suggesting something similar to apt-get for win32/64?
I wish I had mod points right now, because that was the most insightful post in regards to this matter that I have seen thus far.
The very fact that people ought to "buck up" notwithstanding, what we have here is a "woman" evidently in her 30's to 40's who started up a sock puppet myspace account, who intentionally flirted with the victim, then bullied her to the point of Megan believing that suicide was her only option.
If it were up to me, Lori Drew would be at the very least given a mandatory hysterectomy, have any of her children taken away from her custody, and have her placed in prison for the rest of her miserable, socially retarded life.
Or simply put her down, like one would a rabid dog.
And you know for a fact that ALL computer systems are alike, and every network infrastructure is the same?
I for one work for a major online company, and while our machines run twenty four hours a day, there has always been the occasional instance where:
The devs do a software push at a time inconvenient for our team, thus slowing down our overall connection for a time (in a strictly measured performance metric company, slow downs mean lost productivity)
Our main server connection gets hit by lightning, new username/password info does not propagate quickly, etc.
Bottom line is, if I am at work, and ready to work, I WILL be paid, or my company will be held legally responsible, and yes, paid for even ONE minute, if I am at work, clocked in, and unable to work due to technical issues, you will either pay me for the time I am on the company premises waiting for a fix, or send me home.
If you were still at work, doing your normal duties, you were indeed working and in fact your employer stole your labor from you.
Has it been so long ago that you couldn't pursue legal action?
The only reason I don't run 3.0 is because of the "awesome bar", which I cannot stand, and since there is no reasonable alternative (ie address bar behaviour like 2.0) I simply can't use it.
And I may have to move along (to another browser) if they start popping nag screens on me.

In other words, Stallman is Commie fruit.

My big middle finger vote to "STFUbuntu!"
The title must include the exclamation point.
you forgot one:
Men Are Equal.
No, YOU are the one who has a basic lack of reading comprehension. The Doctor was specifically not advocating smoking, but merely advocating the use of Nicotine in another, less dangerous form.
You fail.
I have been regaling my coworkers with exactly that idea: CAFFOTINE!!
Sounds like something they would use in the year 3000, no?
