    The dictionaries HAVE shrunk!
    My neighbor has one from about 1925 and it's about 8 inches thick and weighs a good ten pounds, the pages are thin like a bible.

    Now, this is no troll, no flamebait, it's FACT.
    There is one word that is considered by many to be offensive. It's the N word. BUT, in that huge dictionary he has there THREE PAGES of variations of that word in there that have nothing at all to do with the offensive word. I won't list any of them here but believe me, there USED to be a lot of words back then that people used on a regular basis that have been sent to the dust bin.

    I collect OLD encyclopedia's, the older, the better and you can see history re-written over the years.

    I have seen programs on the History Channel, I have even taped them, where on one program describing a world event (the program was recorded 10 years ago for instance) they say one thing, then on a newer version of the SAME program, just remade in the last year or two, history is totally different than what they were telling people 10 years ago.

    People forget. They forget easily. They depend on the idiot box to remind them. "Oh, I remember now" as they sit there throwing popcorn down watching the "History" Channel.

    Yes, I know. But try to run the latest version on a Pentium 1 133mhz and see what happens, even tweaked. Turn all the goodies off and it still takes 5 minutes to load. It's unbearable.
    I *STILL* like and use Opera on the laptop but I went back to 6.05, it works fine, it's fast, I like it fine.

    It's just like I said, they write these new apps ASSUMING that everyone has a 50,000gigahertz Pentium 12 with 30,000 terabytes of ddr8000 ram and 120bazillion terabytes of .0000001ms hard drive with a 80,000 terabyte buffer.

    I installed Opera 7.xx (I think it was 7.0) on a P1 133 and it sucked.. WAY TOO MUCH graphics for old, slow machines. I dumped it and went back to 6.05 and it was just fine on that slug slow laptop.

    I installed 6.xx (I forget) on my Mandrake 9.0 box and I just didn't like it. I actually am one of the few that LIKES Konqueror.

    I've gotten used to Konqueror and will stay with it.

    On a Winbloz box I LOVE Opera, it whips ass, but beware, eveyrone is pushing new versions of everything (including for Linux) that *assumes* everyone uses they newest, fastest box available.
    Not so, some people have old clunkers around.

    My MDK 9.1 box is a P4 w/200gigs, 512ddr Gf4-Ti4200, it's really decent..
    My laptop sucks, it runs on Flintstone brand batteries. My son uses a K6-2 400mhz and it's pretty klunky but he's a Playstation2 kind of guy and Opera 6.05 works best on his box, I tried 7.x on it and it sucked.

    So, you coders out there, lighten up on the graphics PLEASE! There is more to life than eye candy!

  20. Re:Oh joy! Cha-ching!! on Weekly Microsoft Critical Security Issue · · Score: 1

    Good points. But I've been a professional tech for over 22 years now and a general electronic hack for over 30 years. I've seen it all, the birth of the PC, the birth of DOS and saw it mutate into windows, and everything in between. I watched Bill Gate$ go from a nobody into a $$ Tyrant and THIEF. His tactics and practices are what piss me off and largely contribute to my hatred of M$. The other part that I find intolerable is that Windows is just simply a sloppy, shitty OS. It crashes everytime you fart, and apps are always blowing up. It's flakey, undependable and unstable.

    I have a brand new system, all decked out that I built myself and with Linux on it, it's rock solid. I had to load Winblows on it to acomplish a specific task for a customer, there was no way to do it with Linux, it was a specialized program.
    Total hell. With it crashing every 5 minutes I was lucky to get the job done..

    Windows is simply intolerable and unacceptable as an OS. But it is what the world revolves around. It's not for everyone. Windows keeps users from using their minds, it actually rots the brain. Linux FORCES you to use your brain, and that's what I like about it the most. I had become very disconnected with the inside of the PC when I started using Windows, now I am getting back into the inner workings and I *like* it...

    Again, it's not for everyone but it IS for everyone that's freaking sick of Micro$not and their big brother bullshit..
