I'd have to go with Windows as a favourite, because It's what I know most about, and it's nice to use. Sure, XP is a hog, but without Windows and the Microsoft (or Micro$oft for all you Linux junkies), we wouldn't be playing PlanetSide in the first place. The problems with Windows though, are - It's Bloated It's full of hidden shit (basically, Windows is a spyware) It's not secure There are a shitload of viruses floating around the internet right now, and around 90% of them are written for Windows OS's, so people say "oooh, I'll just get Linux" WRONG When Linux becomes more popular, people will just write viruses for Linux and Windows! I am also a Linux user, but the thing that puts most people off from Linux is the level of difficulty/learning curve, ie Installing a program Windows - Check hardware specs, run installer, enjoy Linux - (if the program is not an RPM or DEB package) Check hardware specs, unzip tar, check dependencies, sort out dependencies, do more shit, open up command line, compile, enjoy - EFFORT Anyway, enough of my random hodge podge, I just got home from work and I'm pissed off. Remember - A Windows computer is like a Hummer, can be driven anywhere. A Linux computer is like a BMW, its damn nice to drive, but there are some places it just cant go. A Mac computer is like a Ford KA, it can only be driven slowly, on the easiest of roads. (for those of you who don't know what a Ford KA is - Clicky)

Windows needs to go to \dev\null.
Unix is the Alpha and the Omega of operating systems. For the Overmind!

Where the FUCK is the option for DOS?
C:/DOS C:/DOS/RUN RUN/DOS/RUN Seriously, I played Dark Forces, F-117A Stealth Fighter, and Chuck Yeager's Flight Sim on DOS. DOS kicked ass. Then there was WinBlows ME. I use XP and like it, but ME blows. COMPLETELY. WE CHANGED TO PIRATED XP THREE WEEKS BEFORE XP'S OFFICIAL RELEASE BECAUSE ME COMPLETELY CRASHED ON US. NONE OF MICROSOFT'S RECOVERY TOOLS WORKED! So we should go back to the days of DOS. No graphical shit. Just white letters on black. EDIT: I'm serious. I want a version of DOS that works with Windows programs, and not Command Prompt.

The gun katas. Through analysis of thousands of recorded gunfights, the Cleric has determined that the geometric distribution of antagonists in any gun battle is a statistically predictable element. The gun kata treats the gun as a total weapon, each fluid position representing a maximum kill zone, inflicting maximum damage on the maximum number of opponents while keeping the defender clear of the statistically traditional trajectories of return fire. By the rote mastery of this art, your firing efficiency will rise by no less than 120%. The difference of a 63% increase to lethal proficiency makes the master of the gun katas an adversary not to be taken lightly. Last edited by AztecWarrior; 2004-02-17 at 07:36 PM. |
