Windows Gives No Tongue
-
This is my first post in the lounge so please be gentle. I was reading my San Francisco Chronicle newspaper this morning and read this article by Mark Morford entitled "You always fall for Windows come-on". It was very funny so I looked it up on the sfgate.com website and it was there, so I decided to share it with you. The title was different but the text of the article is the same. Enjoy, Vince Windows Gives No Tongue Reminder: Microsoft's bloated OS is truly terrible in the sack. But a Mac will make you moan http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/gate/archive/2006/07/14/notes071406.DTL[^]
Thanks for the link. But I think that guy needs to get out more. And maybe he needs to meet my friend with a Mac who seems to have way more freezes than I. In fact I don't think I can remember the last BSOD I've had. Maybe a couple of years ago? Whatever. :zzz: (Not yawning at you - yawning at Yet Another Cliched Anti-Windows Fantasy) cheers, Chris Maunder

I think the author watches too much pr0n, anyone cares to subscribe him to the latest porn lists? He still must not be getting enough though, I couldn't even finish reading the article because of all the oooohs and aaaaaaahs... mmorford@sfgate.com

Kinda like the new mac commercials about buggy rebooting PCs. I've had mine running for weeks before rebooting. We have one server running with 4260 hours of idle time, with multiple app servers, and dbs on it. And its also our build machine. So yeah, propaganda. What's really funny about it is that they're comparing to PCs instead of windows, which includes Linux, which is under the hood of the new macs, so is this a hardware comparison? This statement is false. -- modified at 16:23 Friday 14th July, 2006

So is your Mac friend running XP on his Mac? If so, that would explain the freezing...

Tell them to stop downloading all that damn pr0n and it would be less of an issue. ;P

Or it could be some lame software that's installed, or faulty hardware. It's no different than with Windows. A poor written application can hurt the OS. But, well, who knows. Jeremy Falcon

A few years ago I worked with a guy who did both Windows and Mac programming. One day I asked him which one he preferred. His answer; "Whatever one I'm not working on." Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J. O'Rourke

Well, my posts are only as good as the material I'm given to work with. :) You don't challenge me. :) ...and I've been really busy at work using your grid control. :)

Too true. The only BSOD's I've seen under Windows XP on my entire development team happen to the guy who's developing drivers for our custom hardware.

I think the whole deal with BSODs depends on who's behind the monitor. I have a friend who's constantly f-ing up machines. It doesn't matter what OS it has on it, it will eventually end in a plume of smoke. Of course, it's always the evil empire that is at fault. (He's all big words - and no action. My mother knows more about computers than he does - a fact which pisses me off everytime he starts spewing crap about all the stuff under the hood of the OS, of which he has no clue about)

Software Zen:
delete this;I had a USB driver for uploading firmware to a particular mobile device which would, without fail, blue-screen XP. We had to install Windows 2000 on a spare computer to be able to upgrade the firmware. This particular Windows CE-based device had no way to keep a third-party application persisted so that it could survive a complete power loss due to battery failure, removal or a deliberate cold boot. There was user-accessible flash storage, but no mechanism for automatically running an installer to restore a program. We therefore had to negotiate with them to include our software in their firmware image. Because the hardware was still relatively new, they were updating their firmware quite frequently, and we were trying to work around their issues as well as fix some of our own. I think we got to something like 25 firmware revisions before abandoning the device as being too unreliable, with the OEM being incapable of fixing, or unable to fix, the problems. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder
