Get ready for shitty cars everywhere

The truth is that Windows isn't THAT bad, but the more important truth is that it is getting better everyday.  This cannot be said for OSX and Linux.  Specifically Linux.  Where will they reach their maximum?  Because Windows gets fewer bugs and fewer security issues and fewer BSOD's with every release.  And with every release Windows gets slightly easier for the consumer.  In this sense the linux people may actually have to start doing something to compete with windows.  Actually you HAVE to fucking do something because Linux is probably the most retartedly hard OS ever.

I will never let my car have Windows, ever, or any computer software, computers can fuck off. Im going to fix up a 1958 Ford Edsel, which is just badass, and im going to go around blowing up all the fucking ricers, with a rocket launcher.

Fucking computers, fuck I hate them.

I'll just take the bus, thank you.

Everyone who  says they hate MS should have a valid reason, not something based on their own  technological lack of schooling of overcompensated ignorance.   You need hands on to know even begin to know what you are talking about.

Ive been using windows since windows95, and I may not be the most enthusiastic about windows, or where MS is going, personally, I think   it would be best of all if Microsoft put out windows barebones, and offered 3rd party software by companies who make better products be installed in their OS, as a way to help competition and the science community at large.

Windows could come as this kind of installer:

OS: Windows Version Here

Choose your Media Player:

You may choose between these players and may pick more then 1 be installed.

1) Windows Media Player 10
2) Winamp
3....

Choose your Mail Program:

1) Outlook Express
2) Eudora
3....

Choose your browser:

1) Internet Explorer
2) IE with Avant
3) Mozilla
4) Mozilla Firebird
5....
 

That way MS would be  helping the community.

oh c'mon!!!!  be realistic!!!  if microsoft had ANY intension of helping the community, we would've already seen it...  and there is no CHOICE with ms.. and there never will be (then again, most ppl already know that).   billy boy there would hang and decapitate himself b4 he lets windows users 'choose' to install another browser or media player during installation.

and if windows ever gets in all the cars, i'll buy a bus pass and take the TTC!

Older systems used an extra part, the section that "does the job of breaking the current to the coil", and you can bet your hat it caused you to work on your car more frequently.

You don't seem to realize something: mechanics are never "perfect." They always get screwed up in one way or another over time. Electronics minimizes this.

I don't need a website to tell me how to set the timing.  In the old days mechanics made mistakes, in the new days, computers make the mistake.  The mistakes are there.  Computers don't fix the problem, instead they create a problem and another computer has to figure out what the problem is.  This brings back the point that old cars were better to fix, mechanical mistakes were easier to point and fix.

How is windows getting better, they create more bugs than they actually fix in the previous releases.  Win2000 was a good release, but XP?  Failure?

The only way to make a quality OS (for linux & windows) is to make the OS, fix all the bugs and not ADD new features.  Every release just needs to fix bugs ONLY!  As long as OS's add features they will create more and more bugs.

Linux is hard?  Is that because schools and our parents didn't train you on Linux since you were born?  Linux is hard to some people because its a new OS for them.  Someone going from Linux all there life and never touched a windows machine will think windows is the hardest OS.

don't buy BMW's
not only are they now ugly and look like acuras
but a lot of their systems are based off of WIndows CE.


Oh and X11, can I have your edsel
I've always wanted an Edsel

there is one word to describe why linux is hard:
dependencies

[Pantso]

Well, I actually have more than one word as a reply and solution to your problem:

apt-get --> Debian GNU/Linux, Libranet, Knoppix etc

Synaptic --> RedHat, Fedora and so on

URPMI --> Mandrake...

So, unless you haven't installed a GNU/Linux distribution for a long time, then you have no excuse for saying that dependencies are still a problem  

Oh, and enjoy Windows if you like it so much. You know something? I must have woken up in another Universe when the Blaster and its variants appeared a few months ago  :rolleyes:  Ah, and I promise that I won't mention the 70.000+ worms, trojans and viruses (not virii) that exist for Windows.

Have a nice day...

What, your an idiot, there holding onto billions when there are people starving, so fuck off, your the wanker, how are they helping anything?

They might be helping your land_of_the_free oppressors get rich, but there not helping anywhere else.

So go get fucked and die, you wanker.

We know about cars and this is a bad step!

Oh yes, mydoom was just an imagination.  Wait this is reality   and I guess your not in it.

Yes, sorry that you were too stupid to get it.

I have even a better idea!  If YOU don't have anything intelligent to say then just don't say it and i'm sick of your shitty trolling over and over again!


 

quote:I had a windows box running right beside my Macs for months. where are all these BSODs you guys talk about? where are the problems? WHERE ARE THEY?!?!

Ooooohhh you have no BSOD, luck you.  The majority of computer users say otherwize!

I guess you missed that news on 'mydoom.'

IN YOUR HEAD.

Don't know about that.  So far you have prooven to be living in your own fantasy world!

 

quote:In the even that nobody's noticed, Windows 98 isn't current anymore. We aren't living in the 1990s, the Decade of Mediocrity is over now. We're now in the 2000s, it's now the Decade of Marginal Quality.

you should tell m$ that.  There still making the same mistakes  (Xpee.)

 

quote:Things are improving, and improving, and improving... everything from everybody is better than ever.

Of course Linux has improved ten times over, ten times faster than windows!

 

quote:I don't think I've seen MS act a fool since the start of the anti-trust trials. They're certainly not doing anything I wouldn't do. I know Red Hat, Inc would do those things if they could, as would Apple.

Xp? WMP9?  these are continued mistakes born out of m$.  If they don't get it now they'll never get it.  Like wize neather will you.


 

quote:You know it's true and you know I'm right, just as I always am.

Well, I know your a fool like you always are and you always know that I at least speak th truth that you like to deny.
