So the widespread use of emojis these days kinda makes forum smileys pointless, yeah?

Who gives a damn? I fuck sheep all the time.

I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there
Our species really annoys me.
I had ~500kb/s download last night from there, about 2 am PDT.You can get the iso there, but make sure to get your own CD key.

So..an OS which facilitates features which VMWare can't easily provide, needs extensive amounts of ram to run, and is the ultimate version which makes use of deep hardware internals doesn't work in Virtualization? SAY IT ISN'T SO!!It's worth it for me, it's your decision to download it or not. If you do then download, if not then go away.

Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

I'd like to try Vista out, but really, none of my computers could handle it. I fear they'd all explode.
I'd install it, but I hate Windows. If a retail Windows OS is as broken as XP can be, I can't imagine a beta.

Seriously... it's pissing me off as much as it is my dad... it's rediculous.My dad now suspects something wrong with either the iso or his disk...

Apparently, Windows sucks dick.
Or maybe..just maybe..it's your hardware? You know when it works for millions and millions and not for a select few..then can we question it being the hardware?

You know when it works for millions and millions and not for a select few..then can we question it being the hardware? Therein lies the problem. What hardware is it? Linux has yet to error out on me or blame any problems on hardware.Windows would not tell me either. It would just restart.There is the difference. Linux doesn't. I think Linux can handle my hardware better.
Stick with whatever works then, but it's not a reasonable attack on an OS. I could very well say my [insert very expensive new and flashy driver here] does not work on linux..it must be inferior. Is that fair to Linux? No.

My friend just switched back to OS X because Ubuntu and Yellow Dog Linux failed to completely replace OS X on his G5.
dvd,ew...anyone wanna burn & mail me one ?maybe there is a way I can order one from them
Do you guys like it better than XP?And screenshots would be awesome
15 gigs, hmmm, sad.......I have 18 free on my laptop..........maybe I'll ditch fedora

Put it this way Joe... you're on my Buddy List... if there's no one else on an you're the only one, I'd rather talk to myself.
..Why the hell does an OS need to be so flashy?! Seriously. The "it's taking load off the cpu and giving it to the GPU" reason is bullshit -- it can do that without being so ugly.
@ Warrior: You think it's worth switching over to as of right now?
A majority of computer users enjoy flashy screens, pretty buttons and "stupid mode" interfaces. For those who don't like that, they can change it to an older theme. It's Windows... I'm sure that it's supported. The XP theme takes up more resources than the classic theme does. It takes 15 seconds to switch between the two. I doubt it will be much different on Vista. I don't see what you're bitching about.

I doubt those older themes send the stuff to the GPU as opposed to the CPU. However, I probably won't be using Vista for a long time (even if I do pirate it) so I could care less.

Athlon 2200+768 MB RAMGeforce 5600Is that good enough? It's my dad's computer that's all I can remember off the top of my head.
Ok... I think I got to not crash... here's a REAL SS from an actual user. Not those professional SS that Warrior posts

They've clearly managed the technology to support GPU rendered graphics. Why the hell would the choose to not use it for less complicated themes? "Sure! Let's load the graphics card with a bunch of shit, but then not use it at all when the user switches to a simpler theme!" Think about what you're proposing...

Aero is built on the new desktop composition engine called Desktop Window Manager, adding support for 3D graphics, translucency, window animation and other visual effects. This mode is also known as Aero Glass. * Intended for mainstream and high-end graphics cards. * 64 MB of graphics memory recommended for 1024x768, 128 MB for 1600x1200+. * At least 32 bits per pixel. * 3D hardware acceleration with capabilities equal to DirectX 9.0c. * A memory bandwidth of 2 GB/s is recommended. * Capable of drawing ~1.5 M triangles / second, one window being ~150 triangles. * A graphics card that uses AGP 8X or PCI Express x16 bus. * Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) Drivers.
See, this is just you not understanding how to diagnose XP. There is a boot-up option menu called "Disable automatic restart." This is also an option in the System Properties dialog (Advanced, Startup and Recovery, Automatically Restart). I arm myself with WinDbg (free) and a full kernel dump (as opposed to a minidump, which is the default option for XP Home/Pro), and find out very quickly what the problem is. This is an example of your ignorance causing you to blame Windows as problematic as opposed to your driver. You can't determine which driver is the problem because you're not educated enough.
Why do you need to be connected to install? That's fucking stupid. What if you are mass deploying and all of them accessing the internet at once will cause world chaos?Quote from: MyndFyre[x86] on June 12, 2006, 05:13:29 amSee, this is just you not understanding how to diagnose XP.

Holy fucking shit. It's SO EASY.Windbg - Open Crash Dump (find the file, usually Windows\MEMORY.DMP)!analyze -vIt tells you the faulting module 98% of the time.GFG
As for why you need to be connected for the install, it's to download dynamic updates. If you're mass-deploying you'd probably use the preinstallation environment or something similar.
Now I've got your real name, and I can hunt you down and kill you!(At least I am not the only one who uses their full name for their login name on Windows... heh.)
