I'm guessing these are entry level physics classes? 111 or 101 perhaps? I don't mean anything bad at all, because the last time i had a physics class no one was using MS Office stuff at all. Pretty much everyone writes stuff up with LaTex.
Just for humor's sake, you should teach a lesson one day about how Microsoft software makes your intelligence fall. I'm sure it's pretty easy to come up with a reasonable formula for it's rate of change. Even better, play the Balmer videos. Everyone loves those.:-P
Heh, most people don't struggle with issues you are having. The plus and the minus button under the list of items? That probably means add and remove things from the list. If a useful interface means "many ugly command buttons in a row", then this might not be the OS for you. The whole concept behind the plus and minus button with lists is easibility and repetition of the interface. How does Windows add and subtract items from lists? Personally I can't think of such a thing in the toolkit they use.
Oh well. Well, remember that OS X runs on top of Darwin, so anything you do via a nice friendly interface you can do via command line. (hint: man niutil to learn how to use it)
On the up side, the above wouldn't apply to OS X unless I got a clone machine *smirk*
One of these days someone needs to point out what a Mac clone is now a days. it's an intel compatible PC.
Yep, that's right, you know all of those "IBM clones" everyone uses? As of now they are also "Mac clones." The only difference is EFI versus the ancient BIOS, and there are nice little wrappers that take care of that:) And with motherboards now coming out with EFI, those things are "Mac Clones" right out of the box.
The last time I checked, an OS depends on what processor its assembled for. If Unix(tm) is important, then I feel very sad for you. Especially with what BSD brought into the OS. I've run NetBSD and FreeBSD on laptops, and they work fine. All of the hardware had kernel-level support. The last thing I want to do is put HPUX on a laptop. But I am not against your point of post, that OS X is a Unix(tm) on a laptop, at all. In fact, I'm running it right now on my Dell Latitude right now as I send this post.
I think the problem will come down to what is Apple hardware. Is an Airport Extreme an Apple branded device, or is it a Broadcom 43xx card or Atheros 5424 card with an Apple sticker on it? Is the sound card a "High Definition Apple Sound Card" that's built into the "MacBook Logic Board" or is it just an HD Realtek card (CX1988, etc) on an Intel motherboard with a pick Apple sticker on it? I know for a fact that on Macbooks, they use an Intel processor and motherboard with EFI instead of good ol BIOS, a Realtek Card, a Broadcom wireless card (Essentially the same thing as a Dell Truemobile 1390 or an Atheros 5424 card), A Yukon Gigabit Ethernet card (88E8053), with standard devices hooked to it (hard drive, etc) via ICH7. This is all built inside of a Quanta laptop casing.
This is what Apple hardware is. Some may still see it as different, but I sure don't since my dell laptop has almost identical specs. And since Apple uses such an open source friendly license (http://www.opensource.apple.com/apsl/) I have easily ported linux and freebsd drivers to work on OS X. I have purchased a retail copy of leopard. I guess I am breaking the law, right? No, just the EULA. Why am I doing this? Simply to bring a good, friendly, stable, unix OS to my own computer. None of this requires pirating software
FYI, we've already completed a way to install OS X on a PC without altering the original Leopard retail Disc. So people can essentially go out, buy a copy of Leopard, and install it on a PC after booting off of a USB device that loads up the kernel extensions for their own PC hardware. All open source, all following APSL.
Also note that this is all homebrew stuff, none is earning any money off of it, and most of it is open source. This is why Psystar isn't really supported at all when it comes to the people who are putting their heart into this project.
Since I only use a select few apps on windows (mainly games) i use EvilDesk. I've gone through almost every functional alternative shell for Windows, and I always end up coming back to this one. You have multiple desktops, and you can set it up so that specific apps load on specific desktops.

Udev requires you having the needed modules. other than specific source tarballs, the place where you compile those modules that udev autoloads is *rolls drums* in the kernel source! Again, you're assuming that the distribution came with every single module in existence that's been precompiled.
I think you misunderstood - the parent was referring to USB flash drives - so there is no need to worry about losing any drive heads. Wait... "larger USB drives" - aww shit, maybe means external magnetic disks. I hate when my quick thinking humor doesn't completely fit the bill.

You aren't following at all; the concept is that the modules havent been compiled and linked yet. More classic development distributions like Slackware don't provide 2 gigs of precompiled modules for different kernels (it usually comes with enough to pick up your hard drive, chipsets, etc and boot. That's where the kernel source comes in. you take 3 minutes and set it up and another 3 minutes (or hours, if you prefer the good-ol 386) to compile it. It's always been a ton faster than fighting with precompiled module dependency hell. So custom compiling the kernel requires experience and skill, something a good ol' linux user has and loves.
cronius - I'm sure you know that geeks aren't too keen on correct pronunciation. I think Beastie, the FreeBSD DAYmon knows from experience. (I usually tell them that they must of eaten a little too much sea alJAY when they were young. They don't get the latin spelling link. Oh well.)
My experience is quite the opposite of yours. Using older programs based on older gtk releases (like 2.6.9) are extremely unstable, especially when run on updated versions of today (I remember compiling it with 2.10). Even if it compiles fine there are still issues. A good example would be Sabbu. That's just one example of the many which i've helped out with due to the poor coding issues that unexpectedly cause problems. Your choice is either to update the way the app uses the framework, or statically link a copy of a compatible version of the toolkit to it. Though an app was designed under the Qt 3.1 code, I've never had issues using it under the latest Qt3 releases at all. SO I have to agree with scorp1us.
Even though I prefer using Qt4 for my app frontends because of the great frameworks and portability it features, I would find it sad for GNOME to ditch GTK+. And since I see Ubuntu as a future (mainly) commerical Linux leader, I'm not surprised on the compliments towards Apple. (Note that I am also a Darwin/OS X user.) For some reason I highly doubt that GTK+ will be ditched. They will just have to model the future designs of it on the current features of Qt4.
You argue without and against reason, and do not deserve reasonable argument back. To attempt to do so would be trying to drain your ocean of stupidity with a pipette.
Well at least his ocean was created by a world flood. Just imagined if an omnipotent supernatural being flooded the planet with stupidity... The end product would be, the creationists of today. (See - if they re-translated genesis so that it was stupidity and not water, there would actually be some empirical evidence available to support such magical fable like that.)
Well, I suppose if Microsoft follows the no-competition ideal, then I suppose "not being on the top" is a failure. That's based only on opinion though.
Darwinism is hardly a focus on abiogenesis. He made a little statement or two, hardly anything that he wanted to carry on his back. Sounds like you're a classic creationist, looking for an excuse to make your dumb illogical assumptions that some male entity created life. Why not female? It sounds more realistic. Oh yeah, the pagan satanists worship goddesses. forgot about that. *rolls eyes* Please read up via accredited science journals on what is currently available as evidence. Evolution has been tested in labs, and macroevolution (always wrongly defined by creationists) has enough evidence that questioning it's realism will make you looked upon as a cookoo head wackjob. Remember all you creationists, evolution is not the origin of life. Get it straight. (I think the last thing I heard from some creationist is that evolution requires faith since the big bang never happened. where the fuck is the connection between the two? Some people are stupid. After all, they are taught what to fear of if they eat from the tree of knowledge.
Don't you think that's a little too much power for a computer to do "non-gaming" functions? These days people are finding out that the power they need to do these type of things is something low cost like an Eee.
What's wrong with a GMA card inside a nice cheap intel board, 60GB hard drive and 512-1GB memory? You can get that and put it inside a nice looking $20 PC case for well under $200. Or you could go in the VIA direction, which makes things incredibly cheap. I just put together a nice, compact gaming machine with a fast geforce 8 card for a relative for $600 lcd monitor and all, and it does more than enough. Inf fact she bought a copy of Assassin's Creed, and it runs flawlessly.
Perhaps I may have some misinterpretations of what you were trying to point out, but your choices in the example you gave didn't really make any sense, since a dedicated graphics card isn't the only part of a computer that shows the difference between a general purpose and intense graphics processing machine. I just visualized you with one of those alienware machines, pulling in and out the PCI Express graphics card saying, "This is a regular PC, this is a gaming PC, this is a regular PC, this is......."
Well. Unless you want to run Vista on it. hehe. 3 gigs of memory... Then I'll understand.
From now on instead of seeing the video you have to use your brilliant imagination and computing intellect to watch them. I can see the commercials for this new technology now...
I'm sure they (and by they I mean the ones that claim to put copyright stickers on sound frequencies) are okay with CPUs and hard drives. it's the physical memory modules they have the problem with - so you'll have to buy your own. Which will probably be better, knowing how much more memory with "ACME Computer vendor" stickers stuck on them cost compared to the original manufacturers. Yes Dell and Apple, I mean you.
