Originally posted by HyperHacker Okay, we get it, HH. You don't like Linux. Perhaps it isn't for you. But since you decided to post against the OS in favor of Winblows, I must point out that this is the weakest argument yet. What if a newcomer to Windows was in the same situation? Same problems, eh? At least in Linux, a new user can afford to experiment outside of root. With Windows... well, you have to use an administrator account to do anything. Black Lord +'s anecdote is a good example of how easy it is to work with Linux. A big reason why some people don't switch to Linux is because they don't want to be "noobs" again. But face it, if a person is good with working under Windows, it doesn't make him or her good with computers. You could even "program" Windows applications, but if making a switch to an OS that isn't Windows enough is so difficult that you'd rather stick with an inferior system, you have not yet reached that level of expertise with computers that you thought you did. In other words, you're still a noob. 
Linux is really easy, if you're willing to give it a chance. It comes with a package updater/manager that will list programs available for download and automatically download and install them if you want it to! Could you imagine how much easier that is to a newcomer to computers than Windows? FreeDOS +, I'm going to have to disagree with that article you linked. Linux is different than Windows, but it is also easier, especially to those who have little experience with computers. Heck, a day into my switch to Linux, I was already configuring my unsupported network card (I'll get back to that). Originally posted by HyperHacker Maybe if more people used Linux, companies would be willing to develop things that followed standards, instead of making shit that'll only work under Windows, utilizing some "feature" the OS offers for a one man development team to make a product dirt cheap. Originally posted by Sweet Kassy Molassy This is most likely due to proprietorship. Companies refuse to release their source, to develop multi-platform drivers, or even to release their goddamn specifications, making it hard for people to get them working. The plus to open source is that there wouldn't be these kinds of problems. You're in luck, though. There's a program called NdisWrapper that will use drivers made for Windows under Linux. I found and used this the same day I switched to Linux to get my unsupported F5D7001 Wireless G Plus Desktop Card by Belkin working. If you need some wireless drivers that'll work with it, you can find a nice long list of them here. Just extract NdisWrapper and the drivers to some folder and open up a terminal. cd to the folder you extracted it all to and use the following: make make install ndiswrapper -i path_to_driver.inf depmod -a ndiswrapper -m And there you go, your card will probably work. There's even a commercial program that will do the same thing. |

Originally posted by Drag While you can't take an article's word for it, they say a 16-qubit quantum computer is the equivalent of a modern day computer. They're already talking about a 1000-qubit machine by next year (say what?). So if the article is correct, next year's model will be 62.5 times more powerful than your average computer. |

| A friend and I used to play arcade games online through Kaillera all the time. I'm sure he (and I know I) would be interested in playing DnD: Shadow Over Mystara. We loved that game for some reason. | |||

| They're static relative to the cart memory, but most emulators don't load roms into the same location in system memory. The usually load the rom to whatever free memory you have. Unless you can actually program a trainer that will search for the correct values, you're better off writing something to teach people how to use their emulator's cheat engine.
I don't think that would be beyond them, anyway, if they know how to load a rom. |
