when i was on windows, i hated real purely for the fact that they felt the need to keep a background process open on my computer even when their application wasn't launched, which for a media player i found a bit cheeky (i don't think it does on linux, but can't check now as i have it open anyway, correct me if i'm wrong) .
however, if it wasn't for the fact that they have a linux version, there would be a whole lot of stuff on the net i wouoldn't get to see, mainly the radio which is far better than the normal airways because i can cut out chart shows and the like. i know that a lot of people go "grah real media format sucks, kill it" and if thats the case then maybe so, i don't know the finer technical viewpoints, but the one that really needs to be given the chop is windows media. i know there are workarounds for codecs for them and such, but it's a royal pain in the arse. at least real is available on all formats. all streaming sites please, use anything other than wmv.
i know this is the holy google, but if anyone else had ever suggested this it would be "Omg spywarez0r".
and i'm sure in the future it will be.
oh and for the recordd, no i donn't think there is anything malicous about googles intentions yet
safe mode in IE, tabbed browsing, RSS feeds.. ok that covers what got stolen from firefox. translucent windows - thats OSX from what i have been led to understand (i haven't seen it apart from on KDE, i don't own a mac). So basically vista has viewed (how apt) what the public loves elsewhere and nicked it. other than these couple of new featuers it's a slow version of XP, yawn.
oh and whoever said about ie that one of it's features was "easy history deletion." excuse me while i laugh my lungs up. anyone remember this debacle (fuckmicrosoft.com, but is SFW as redirects to microsuck....just typed the old URL in out of habit:)
i was completely wrong earlier, because i got bored of this months ago, and forgot the command , the best search, for the sweetest camera is (i can't be arsed to do the link ) inurl:LvAppl stick that in google and have fun
this has been out well over a year, so long that in fact my favourite googledork ( filetype:LvAppl ) has been blocked by google heres a tip for anyone who likes this sort of thing though,
nmap -sP -iR 250 -p 80
well, it's worked a couple of times to find interestin things
the reason this will never happen is the main difference is that windows programmers are used to working for an evil company that subverts your privacy, and don't care, not to mention anything about coding techniques, wheras the unix side of things is generally filled by people who found out all these things and did care. bill wants monopoly and will keep changing the goalposts of compatability to make things rough. And just like the terrible government you Americans have, i don't think the public is going to do anything about it, even though they are informed enough, mostly (admittedly more about the government than microsoft, but still..).
at last someone who realises that americans are butchering the english language even more (in reference to your sig) i was fearfull that those grammatical errors were entrentched in the language
i love how this article about bashing micro$uck for being boring has degenerated into a discussion about how macs suck/don't.
I'm sure billy boy must hire someone to troll slashdot every time something bad is said about his litle company. c'mon, surely i'm not the only person who has ever thought this...
gah! another example of evilness. it's just this kind of thing that makes the teachers on my course only let us use visual c++ compilers (i got banned from using knoppix's g++).
hopefully this won't progress
mind you these are the same people that wouldn't let me install firefox for "security reasons"
it's not the fact that he pirated software, lot's of people do that (not that i'm defending it, before the flames begin) it's more the breaking of confidentiality with his employer that should be the issue here
"Nonsense. I bet you dollars to scones that every Brit in the relevant age group just pays the TV tax without batting an eyelash. "
balls, i haven't bought a license in all my years of tv watching. doesn't make the picture any better. i never even watch the tv anymore, just download stuff. oh and not crappy american stuff either, all you U.K. folks get yourselves over to uknova.com
oh my god i think you just might be retarded.
all he was doing was a little harmless fun for a start. like peeking through security cameras. nobody is hurt, until someone with a rod up their ass gets all menstrual about it. however i'm sure that last remark was flamebait so i will go on to my main point.
WEED IS NOT HEROIN OR CRACK ffs. he does not need drug rehab. if alcohol were discovered today and judged on the amount of damage it does to you and how addictive it is, it would be a class A drug. weed (here in England) is only a class C drug, the same classification as a prescription drug. pull your head out of your ass and start to think without prejudice
just better at feeding it to you.
" If we don't like our government, we can vote them out. If Chinese don't like their goverment, they go to jail."
Anyone else see this as high irony in light of the election rigging a few years back?
and the populace believed them the second time when they used computers....so laughable
yeah, Damn Small Linux has a hard drive install option (although it must be to a DOS filesytem i think) and i have it on an old 330mb hard drive that does all the autodetection wherever it goes. still takes the same amount of time to boot as the live cd, but you have the cd drive for use, which is damn usefull.
