But math is fun! It lets you program video games! |

I'll go with Gnome just for simplicity's sake. KDE tries to be a bit flashy, and I'm not all that fond of Konquerer. |

If I recall correctly, isn't bash just one of many selections for shell management? There's probably one that looks and behaves just like DOS if you look in the right place. |

My only hope is that Cedega supports DirectX 10. |

A laptop came in today and I did my usual of immediately scrubbing the hard drive and installing Windows XP Professional (no service packs) and Debian 4.0 on it. All was going smooth until I encountered the audio driver for Windows.
Just a heads up, but any High Definition Audio driver (such as the common Conexant one) that will show up in many newer computers will require the Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture driver installed to be able to detect the hardware. That's something a lot of people will tell you. Something people WON'T tell you, however, is that said UAA driver requires at least Windows XP Service Pack 1. I'm an avid anti-SP2 cultist, so I'll never put that on a machine, but SP1 is lightweight and actually enhances the operating system. So in short: Windows XP Service Pack 1 -> Universal Audio Architecture -> High Definition Audio driver |

My mom's side of the family (including myself) all have a strange resistence to contageons and narcotics. Poison ivy? More please! Vicodin? Doesn't do much.
I am, however, one of those lucky few who is significantly allergic to cigarette smoke. Go figure. |

Where to start...
• Security Center, which disables a lot of functionality by default and then complains when you reenable it. • Flinging shards of permissions and filters here and there makes it so more Services are enabled while getting less work done. • Fancy yet less user-friendly wireless setup dialogs. • Removal of raw socket support. Those can be very useful for very legitimate things, you know. • Internet Explorer infected with a little bar that won't even let you run little JavaScript things from your own hard drive until you click it. • Let's forget all about Intel processors with the Prescott core, shall we? It's true that you can configure the system to make all of those things the way I would like to have them. But that's basically turning off all the new features of the system, so is it really worth downloading 266 megabytes that add up to nothing in the end? |

Might I recommend RushJet1?

Most games have unique sound formats, yes. Or at least games from specific developers. You can expect audio technology to change over time and from dev to dev. |

Debian 4.0 and WinXP Pro SP0 on this one and just WinXP Pro SP1 on the laptop. Gonna install Debian on that one, but haven't gotten around to it yet. |

You know something's messing with your memory when an unsigned variable outputs a negative number. |

You know your graphics adapter doesn't support DirectX 9 when your Rappelz Epic III client shows both of your characters' legs moving in synchronicity like a bunny rabbit.
Happened to my brother. I don't play dumb games. |

Yeah, I've had my license for... several years now.
Things like this, and the occasional photo album, are always a shock for me to realize just how young people on the internet tend to be. Not that it's a bad thing, mind you. |

Works fine for me. But the lighter color blob on top of the eyes looks a bit unnatural. Perhaps if the eyes were in front? |

I'm surprised nobody got to this one yet...
You know there's a major problem when your computer boots into Windows. |

In response to the wise apples who suggested using non-Windows OS's, I remind you that one of Smallhacker's concerns is compatibility for the software he uses.
As far as user support is concerned, Microsoft responding to a "My long-loved software doesn't work right on Vista" report sounds FAR more likely than them listening to "This new Vista-only software won't run on XP." If compabilitity and support is an issue, I recommend using Vista. If you are willing to jump into the deep end and try alternate solutions altogether, then I recommend using anything else but Mac OS. (-: |
