Originally posted by FreeDOS Yeah, it slowed it down. I remember I had to modify some X files to get it to work... Only, it didn't work, and X didn't like my modifications. |

That sounds strange Taryn - at least now if you're careful in using certain programs, you don't have to run the spyware programs all the bloody time.  The only thing that's slowed down in Windows for me is the clock, and even then that's only if I'm using a bunch of CPU-heavy programs. |

Yeah, I don't understand that either. I use Firefox and basically disabled scripts (basically, it won't do anything that isn't basic HTML... for the momemnt) in IE. My Win2K computer have no need for a spyware finder and uhm.... I don't understand what people do to get spywares and adwares so easily.  Hell, there is no need for anti-spyware stuff if you just use Firefox... Macintosh intrests me, mostly from a perfomance standpoint thought. Althought to be honest, it's had been concluded that Apple would be a much worse monopoly than Microsoft. But that dosen't stop me from getting a Mac mini.  |

| Well, you should have seen how Apple treated Macintosh clones. They we're allowed but they have high license fee's, if there wasn't anything against Apple Macintosh would been more expensive. While IBM's X86 PC was pretty much free to clone, and so also got alot cheaper. Thought the orginal IBM PC wasn't really made for being around for that long time... Besides.. well. It's still not stopping me from checking out Mac mini... (althought I have a belief that competition is good, it would just be good if Mac OS X and Linux gained market shares so Microsoft just can't do whatever...)

| Apple had issues when they appeared (what those issues were, I don't remember). IBM did sue but lost because the defendants were able to demonstrate they reversed engineered the stuff. So, IBM was powerless to stop clones but in the end, it proved to be a good thing... You have to give Apple credit though for surviving all this time... makes me wonder what would have happened to Apple had the iMac was a bust or Jobs didn't come back to the company again... |

| Er... you guys did realise that with the tablet stuff I was talking about Linux, right? I was attempting to modify the kernel and X as well as install custom drivers in order to get the full pressure and tilt sensitivity on the tablet. Didn't work. Disappointing, as it was more or less a death blow for me + Linux long-term. Works fine on my Mac though  |

Originally posted by Kitten Yiffer The problem is people that expect these kinds of setups to be secure. IE can still be exploited with all the most advanced and restrictive security options (and really, at that level it's not much use anyway). Programs love to slip it in when you're not looking despite how trustworthy they seem. And remember those worms a while back that kept shutting down the systems? They could get in just by pinging you; you didn't need to do anything except turn your computer on and connect to the Internet. There are always security holes like this, especially in Windows. |

| Your talking about the blaster worm? It dosen't get through if you have a firewall from what I know, at least it didn't for me and there is fixes for that exploit. It's easy to get no spyware, be careful what you install. Read the EULA, and don't touch the blue e. Use alternative browsers... And hell, you should use Firewall, not matter which OS. Certain Linux distros is known for being easily hackable. :/ (edited by Kitten Yiffer on 03-21-05 12:42 PM) |

| We have a hardware router that acts as a firewall. Lucky us. Aaaaaand...I'm typing this from my new computer. *insert ta-da flourish here* I've had it up for about an hour, and it is schwEEEEEET.  My biggest problem thus far is remembering to use the option key instead of Ctrl for keyboard shortcuts (except within the terminal, of course...arrggghhbllrggh Uuuunix *drool*) and trying (without much success) to connect to our private file server to get all my old stuff back. My computer can find it...it just won't authenticate me for whatever reason. Eh, I'll bug Rando when he gets home. |

| Eh, after making careful decisions, I've decided to go with a Vaio instead. I thought that spending so much on something that I had no idea (initially) how to opperate was the deciding factor. Windows might be becoming tiresome for me, but at least I can count on it in the short-term. I don't mind a little maintainance anyway I did end up getting a good deal, though. It's slimline, light and has a 6200 GeForce Go graphics. I know that won't exactly set Half Life 2 alight, but it'll run all the games I'd need to |

That doesn't sound right. I've never even used a tablet, but that doesn't sound right ..
