Windows crashes the olympics!

[worker201]

Oh.  Guess I should uninstall Firefox, Thunderbird, and AVG.

Do you know of any Windows-based text editors that have the capability of showing line numbers that aren't free?  I don't want to accidentally download a perfectly good shitty one!

If it says "FREE" its probably shitty.

Would that be free as in FOSS or beer?

Heard of vim and emacs for Windows?

[worker201]

No.  I bet most other people haven't either.

How much do those cost?

[Kintaro]

TextPad if you want to buy something.

Again, be specific - what skills are "they" lacking?  And when I say "they", I mean the large number of Windows users, in home, business, and education settings, who experience Windows component crashes, Windows system crashes, and/or general program crashes due to faulty system calls on a fairly regular basis (10+ times per year).

Those tend to be software problems, and do not crash the entire system. Usually just the kind where the program closes and Windows asks if you want to submit an error report (which can be turned off)

Beer, I was talking about Download.com and all that shit. I don't consider anything free about Open Source, its no special freedom to me, its just open source.

Those are pretty common. Get this: on FC9 VLC manages to hang the entire system message bus, and to restart it means killing my entire session. Fucking wonderful.

I am not a dork.

Doesn't look like one to me. Just a random guy.

[Kintaro]

XD IM JUS TOTALLY RAAANDOM.

I'm using Vista and it is fine. Learn to use your computer properly, and XP hardly crashes.

In other words, use a system that PROFESSES to be multitasking to only run one app at a time and reboot before starting the next one. 

That is the ONLY way to ensure that M$ CRAP does not crash since it still does not know how to clean up other programs' memory leaks properly!

[Kintaro]

I've rarely seen memory leaks in Windows in the last two or so years.

you really are talking shit.

you don't seem to consider much. you know, for years i really did think you had some point to your existence, but i'm beginning to think you're just a more sophisticated version of fishcorn, where you actually don't value other people at all, choosing to view life as one sordid series of opportunities for childish pisstakes.
