Infact this machine is noticeably more responsive with windowmaker than xp.
I would seriously hope so. You're comparing a modern desktop enviroment with all the graphical bells and whistles (XP) to a window manager that is, to be blunt, way fucking ugly. I've used Windowmaker, I like Windowmaker, but your comments are just fucking stupid.
Ask any of the dork-asses here how smart they are. Against all common logic, they will all say they're smarter than everyone else. The fuckdouches here are the most stuck-up arrogant tits I've run across on the internet, and that's saying a lot.
This explains why the GPL is the way it is better than any of the smelly hippie propaganda the FSF has ever spewed out of its noisehole. "AT&T pissed us off, so here's a nice middle finger in their general direction."
I'm neither uninformed nor trolling. When I'm trolling, you'll know it by the fountains of blood and endless trail of dead Slasbots in my wake.
AT&T was forced to license its software to anyone that wanted it. Patented or not, they had to license it. By the time they were no longer required to license their software, most every patent for the main gist of UNIX would have lapsed.
Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Not a damn thing would have been different. It wasn't Free Software, ever. It was all duly licensed and inspected and all that good crap. It was proprietary software, patents wouldn't have done a thing to it.
Coming in and cold-reading a part is commonplace. That means you show up and are expected to nail something you've never seen or heard before on the first or second take. Simple song or not, it takes skill to be able to play it that quickly.
Name one instance where MS has pulled a Rambus and had their patented process integrated into a standard, then sued everyone over implementing the standard.
Video editing, no. Photoshop, yes. 3ds max, yes. In fact, I've used a lot of programs that can obliterate a 3.6Ghz CPU at will, but I do not consider these to be 'consumer level' programs. They're not things that most people are going to be using.
MS is the John Holmes of mindshare. It just doesn't get any bigger than that. Sorry dude, MS isn't going to fall over anytime soon. You're both delusional and stupid if you think they are.
So why the obsession in video game media with quantifying gameplay time?
You ever think that maybe it is possible that they do this so you know what kind of gameplay time to expect? Game makers have been doing this for as long as I can remember. Seriously, it's not a big deal.
Exactly. Most Windows viruses rely on user stupidity/error to propagate. There isn't a fucking thing keeping the same thing happening to Linux users, and you have to be a fucking idiot to think that using Linux means you are completely invulnerable.

Some satellites go "WTF?" for a while.
What the fuck are you talking about, idiot?
In another thread. This one's rather lame. :\

MS advertisements are main articles on a constant basis. "OMG!!!! MS PUT OUT A BROCHURE! FUD FUD FUD FUD FUD!!!11 LINUX IS TEH BEST!!!1"
You HAVE noticed the MS ads around here, right?
Maya is in no way a consumer level program. A 3d package that starts at $1000+ isn't what I'd expect to see on someone's hard drive.

Touche, Costmart.

Not sure I'd call something that considers ALT-META-SHIFT-F1-chicken sacrifice-BKSPC-x a normal command 'consumer level' though.

Name one piece of non-videogame consumer-level software that can tax a 3.6Ghz P4 with 2GB RAM. Hardware isn't a bottleneck in any way.
And by using the word proprietary you have basically proven that you are in no way Apple's target customer.
You have it backwards, besides. People want to make sure their MP3 player works with the software they already have.
Because you can't like BSD and spooge all over the GPL at the same time.
Most games have a retail price in the $45-60 range. What the stores actually charge is generally lower.
