I hear ya! Microsoft's getting closer to the UNIX-like OS's. Their new task manager is *wai* cool.

XMEN Ashaman DTM · 07-26-2001, 03:14 PM

Well, I have Win2k Pro on one of my machines. It works flawlessly on the Intel machine. My AMD machine doesn't really count since nothing works on it.

I would have to say that even though I rarely had problems with Win98, I'm more impressed with Win2k. The reason is that the only problems I have had with it have been extremely minor to the OS; it won't let a program write to a memory address that is already used, like Win98 will. I LOVE that level of protection. You have to work extremely hard to get Win2k to crash, in my experience. Unix is similar. The Unix kernal won't crash, like kernel32.dll will for Win98, and it's because it manages the memory better.

Then again, Unix is older than I am, and has been developed for a LOT longer than any windows version ever was. Also, Windows OS's have millions of lines of code, all intertwined. Perl is more modular (the language that Unix was originally written in), and it is easier to ID a problem. I'm more understanding.

For the record, I'm going to put Win2k on my dual CPU machine when it is built. >:
Then Linux, and Fusion to do some parrallel computing. >:

Touch my comp and die, sucka. I don't take kindly to problems with it, especially because it's the only one in my house.

*wheeeeeeeeee*
What is that noise coming out of your disk drive Laurelin?????

Aluscia · 07-31-2001, 04:10 AM

Shut up... it's been making that noise for months... it's evil, and so are you... /me gets her memory spike army ready to wage war on MG's machine...

Mythril Gear · 07-31-2001, 07:36 AM

/me gets his army of Armor-plated 25Mhz HP-UX machines ready to defend his turf.

RazorDragoon · 07-31-2001, 07:45 AM

You guys,leave the heavy armor combat to the T2 practices.

But just in case...
I'll ready my army and finish off the winner.

/me summons his army of dragons,demons,and other creepy devilish things

Mythril Gear · 07-31-2001, 09:47 PM

To BD: "Oh no! The Devlie!!!"
To Laurelin: This forum aint big enough for th both of us! I suggest we hold a duel RPG-style. (Not to kick, im just joking! Just to see...) Why don't we both create a character in our favorite RPG system, and then run the rules together in a wierd crossover-type system. What i mean is that MY rules govern what I do and what affects damage has on me, and vicea versa. Only the numbers themselves would carry over. Whaddya tink? If you're "game", we'll do it like this: Posts
#1: Choice and desc of game system and character
#2: Character creation and statistics
#3: Any extra stuff (i.e. vehicle or mount, artifacts, items, magic)
#4: First battle setup (terrain, world, initiative)
then the battle begins... post by post for actions.

So? Are you GAME???? (Ps. if anyone else is interseted.....)

EDIT PS: We will also have to declare some sort of mutual limit on the level/exp limit on our characters. I can just see it now... Your Lv 20 Meteor Swarm vs my +10 HEAT resistant armor... sounds like fun.......but could get out of hand.

Stang · 07-31-2001, 10:44 PM

Hey MG dont you see we made a room for your D2 talk sheesh open your eyes

.

Go use it thats why we put it there

.

Mythril Gear · 07-31-2001, 11:11 PM

What? Who said D2? I didn't say D2....
I meant the original, Pen and Paper (and dice!) RPGs. THey are classics, not to be confused with the mass-market simplicity of games like D2. Besides, the D20 system *rulez* in comparison to cheezy Diablo stuff....

Aluscia · 08-01-2001, 04:27 AM

I would be game, MG, if I actually cared about this confrontation... As for Blackdragon, where'd you get these demons? your dirty sock pile?

Ambush_Bug · 08-01-2001, 09:41 AM

Hey, I've got a RIFTS combat cyborg that would make a GREAT referee.

"Hey, no torching the spectators!"
--Borg pumps 50 AP rounds into offender--
"Next time I'm using flechettes, pal!"

Mythril Gear · 08-01-2001, 03:20 PM

*sigh*
That was really funny Bug!

But what is RIFTS?
Maybe I just have waaaaay to much time on my hands. I should prolly spend it playing tribes or doing something worthwhile like art. Oh well, I guess its all a question of putting my mind to it. I should probably make another go at HF... *searches for tribes original cd*
