if there is another successful open source project like firefox that spreads over to the win platform and hits it big this could mean more respect for opensource projects and possably more people willing to switch over. i know firefox was a big part of what let me feel comfertable switching over to linux. just imagain if some one has a windows system with firefixed for there internet browsing.. mplayer for there meltimedia and open ofice for there fancy text editor.... at that point it would not take much to move then over to a new OS since there forminlar with most of the software they use.
ps: i noticed in reviewing what i wrote that i acidently typed 'firefixed' instead of firefox but i liked how it sounded so i kept it... gues my subconsus is working overtime
i dont know what the hell your talking about??? when u pick what destrobution u install u get to pick how much bloat to put on a machien..... firefox comes pretty bare bones(consistent with this articial..).... nothing too fancey unless u plugin it the hell out.... still it works fine on older hardware... how do i know.. its on my family guest computer... 700MHZ 256 MB ram... old chunker.....that machien was going ot be scraped now its fully capable guest computer at my house.... yea at first it had some problems with too much stuff slowing it down... but i googled how to configure with old hardware... things load in VERY resonable time and once loaded there perfectly fine... i looked in to a useing a speical non-gnome(i started with ubuntu since i am pretty new to linux and i like there comunity support i have experienced so far) user-iterface.... to speed things up but that did not really show much improvements()... turned on prelnking.. and preloaded open office on start up... i can multi task on that computer very fine. i dont know how much older a machien u want to use if u go much older u should jsut set it up as dumb terminal connected to "good" computer.... honestly though... firefox is not the only web-browser out there... u dotn like.... hell u want bare bones.. use a text based browser??
The average (I don't want to say idiot) user simply doesn't think or know about other browsers.//
glad u did'nt say idiot here; one component of the promlem(and yes it is a problem) people are ingorent about these things; i remember the first time i saw fire-fox; i was in a cs class in highskool, my teacher showed it to me; showed how it did what IE did; i was like so what??? i did not get it... to me it was the exact same tool; it had some shinny plug-in crap... my first though great and why in the hell do i need this.. i am alreay use-to one thing; i shruged it off as nothing new(like how there are 20 million differnt kinda of programs to play ur music, and i could care less wich one did it as long as it worked)... later i learned more about how IE sucks.. about how people i knew where getting malware on there computers...i shruged this off too i was always carefull where i clicked and what sites i when to.. i figured(at the time) people with mal ware were just going to risky sites... or doing so with out changeing there security settings...i think it was when i started to surf porn that i realized more that IE sucks; i was responsable noob turned all my ie serurity setting to there max and when on my way... this was great for a while... then i noticed some small strange settign were chaged with out my say... it was abvios IE was exploited and that was how these this went amiss.. i did not get any pop-up no known proz running in th back ground... jsut a few setting changed and i noticed while using my compuer it was annoiing... at the point i did not know of any alternitives; i had long forgotten about fire-fox i had seen only once in its early states; so i ived with the anoinces... later my sister bf told me to try fire-fox; i about sruged him off again but this time i gave it a go... it did not do any thing for me fatture wise really that was too cool but i felt safer with it. and franky after seeing some of computers others i know have and all there mal-ware crap i decided to stick with it. now i am easing my way in to linux...and firefox on linux is the only place i feel safe to browse my porn; for people that dont hear about ie expliots and dont browse porn i cna image then to see no reaon to use firefox other then tabed browsing(wich is just shinny and peopel jsut wnat thing to work in the end)
since for most ie is default that almost is like standrd to them; sad;
some people are locked in to windows for specific reasons... and laptops cant really be 'custum built', thus its likely we will know some one this applies to. and as a good friend we should be informed enough to help
"useful like Windows".... lol and my AOL dics are usefull too.... i useed to use them as frisbees... quit fun when they hit the fan blades and whent off in new directions:)
damn it i said dont read this... oh well u asked for it... i think there is not really a good "rule" for how one should comment code. good commenting is like painting(or any other art). if u work to hard at it u can get an overdone piece of crap and look like a fool(//commenting every little obvious thing(//like me commenting this...//jk//no really jk//or was i???)). now on the other hand if u put too little comments you can really confuse others who have to read your code(and when u are one of the others reading ur code that just leaves u questioning ur self like... was i really that stupid.... wait no... that was a good idea look here see... wait no... fuck that was the problem i have been looking for all-along...//repeat endlessly till you brain get tired and just rewrites all the code over...)... in both cases the code gets written..... but they both end up takeing more time then they should have taken u(just think of how that time could have been well spent reading/.... now cry... yes cry and promis not to do it again)....ok so i have said nothing new really: so whats my point???.... um i dont know(let me reread my previous _comment_ to figure out where i was..)... i think it was some thing about how there is really no best "rule" of how to comment code......
so it seems that making a good system of rules to comment code's goal would be to avoid the above problems...
WRONG.... well kinda the real truth is it depends what are the common goals of the group coding(present and future)... and that will always determine wheither the comments are good.(and yes there are time when no comments are aproperate//not normally though) just think of all the differtn commenting styles and there advantagesand disadvantages::> there is the i just want this shit to work comments... jsut enough that it makes sence that nihgt ur working on it... the i know some one else will be reading this comments... the i know some idiot will be reading this i better comment every thign for them... the i dont givea shit comments. the i catn splle connemts. the look how fucking pretty they are comments... the inconsistant commenter(says what going on here but not there).. the comments liek to be on one line damnit commenter. the//no comment.... commenter... my favorite. the offtopic commenter. the code works but but dont read the comments cause they dont really describe what the hell its doing comments... the the code dont work but if u read the comments it tells u how it should of been written commenter... um...... then there are commenters like me that start out with good ideas but in the end whe u read it ur left thinking WTF is that fool tryign to say........they all have there place some time or another(some are jsut there to show us what codeing would be like if we all that lazy)
i am sure blindly is not exactly there aproach to..... aww hell the have bilions what am i saying... if i had billions i am sure it would be cheaper/easyer/lowerrisk to have someone else start off a good idea then just copy or take/buy it from them.
