drcreek Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Right I only own a eMac so i'm not some big windows basher i quite like some of the OS dunno which bit perhaps it becasue i like a challenge. Anyway I was running a search for some rar file i downloaded ages agao and i can't rememeber where i put it. As i'm sitting there looking and the cheery labrador that laughs as it says "sorry no files found! Ha ha!" I'm thinking, surely this sums up just how much OSX is better than windows. Steve Jobs at the office "Right guys, we need to get searching sorted we've got a lot of files on here and it's taking to long to get though them all." "Hey steve we coudl use the very lastest in Indexing and Meta Tags and stuff! that way you could search Millions of files in a second!" Bill Gates at the office "LETS ADD A F**KING DOG!!" Sorry but hate that dog do much, he's fecking worse that useless. I've just installed WINplosion & Objectdock for windows to make my pc look more liek a mac. My friends who are all WIndows loving, linux monkeys and they consider this like an act of cross dressing in public. I can't win Use Windows = Crash and burn Use Linux = Start talking in numb0rz Use OSX = Get called a lady boy *sigh* Guess i'll just have to carry on the way i am and use all 3. heh Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/8248-my-pc-just-crashed-so-im-going-to-take-my-anger-out-on-here/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metrogirl Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I must be getting old ... I've never used the search thing on Windows. Ever. I just open up a DOS prompt in c:\ and type something like "attrib *.jpg /s > jpgs.txt" and go and make a cup of coffee... Then when I come back I notepad jpgs.txt. Well, I vi it, but that assumes there's a version of vi on my Windows machine, which there always is. Actually almost the first thing I do on a new Windows install is turn off the indexing feature - things go a lot faster after that. Then I install a bunch of command line utilities and install the MS powertoy "Command Here" plus one called winopen.exe. I guess I never did like some of those newfangled windowy things. OSX gets it right...

Metrogirl Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I'm guilty of getting off-topic with this but if anyone wants VI for their system, try this: http://www.vim.org/download.php The version of VI that is rolled out in OSX is actually VIM.

FickleFlame Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 98, XP, 2000, NT, Linux, and the OpenSource community, what do they all have in common? They just don't compare to my OSX Mac thingy. The one thing you have to remember is that computers were created by humans, and the software running them is created by humans. Though the hardware is solid, it will always and forever have problems because of it's human creators. Theres no perfect OS because there is no perfect programmer. Though advancements in Science and Technology give us greater power and control, the system is flawed in a way that no human can debug. The greatest truth is that 1 + 1 = 2 is constant, but the blood running through your vains in not. You can color within the lines of the system that has been designed by others, but until you design your own reality and the constants within, you will always be subject to "Bad Command or File Name". I'm not a fan of Microsoft in any way, but I do have to give them credit for designing a system that allows others to create whatever they want within their system. The same goes for Apple and their OSX; you can do what you want when you want just as long as your syntax is correct. Linux is also the same way. I have the greatest amount of respect and always will for UNIX. It being one of the oldest and stablest of all platforms; UNIX provides an unlimited amount of creativity within it's confines. Though the breadboards of old have morphed into sophisticated chips and architectures they still remain byproducts of the hardware that gave birth to UNIX. Because the UNIX integrates seamlessly with any hardware or system created today, it provides a conduit into a world where anything is possible. We see this with OS's such as Linux and OSX because even though they are seperate enviroments, their UNIX cores still shine through. Whats next in new generation operating systems anyones guess. On we go... The purpose of my thoughts are to convey an idea of simplicity to users who are blaming their problems on Microsoft and other vendors. I remember watching a made to TV movie about Microsoft and Apple's origions. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs both had very different ideas about computers, but they had one thing in common, home computing. They wanted to bring computers out of corporations and into homes, but there was no hardware available or software that was economical enough for home users to buy. So instead of bitching about it, they created what they needed, bought, and ripped off the rest; demonize them if you will, but thats life. Now many people, mostly home users complain about the software given, but it's irrational and stupid to blame your problems on a system that has been created to fit someone else's specifications. I write software that fits my needs, and sometimes it fits the needs of others. Microsoft and Apple and the OpenSource community work to design software that fits the needs of all, and that is a problem, not in so much that it is bad, but because everyone has their own needs and if Windows doesn't fit your needs, find something else. If Linux or OSX don't fit your needs then you need to do what so many others have been forced to do, and thats to go and build your own enviroment where what you need done can be accomplished. The only limit to your potential is the limits you impose on yourself. Don't blame others for your short comings. A note to the thread starter: You can always just redownload the file. A note on my spelling: I don't have OpenOffice installed so please forgive my spelling errors.
