wanna play second life

how do you "play" second life? its like Barbies for grown men essentially,
and the games on second life suck and are laggy and buggy as shit

i found windows 8 to be the same as windows 7
no differences at all

i completely turned off the new menu - would onl use that for a touchscreen

[Plug Drugs]

doesn't windows 8 have a built in iso mounter? See, stuff like that is nice, why can't microsoft just update windows 7 with stuff like that

[Plug Drugs]

you can't tell me it wouldn't take microsoft more than a day to have a guy put a windows update out for windows 7 that gives it a built in iso mounter

i found windows 8 to be the same as windows 7
no differences at all

i completely turned off the new menu - would onl use that for a touchscreen

its the same only its faster and has a few new features and an awful user itnerface

no noticable differences for casual users once you get the start menu back

it boots a lot faster

ya, the code is much much faster
i don't know why people hate it at all

[Plug Drugs]

ya, the code is much much faster
i don't know why people hate it at all

it's because people view metro as an assault on computer culture

yeah even my instructor was talking shit about windows 8 and i was like "uh dude windows 8 is like windows 7 but even better" and he just wouldnt get over the interface and then said it was too much like windows 7 and he'd wait for windows 9

i hope everyone buys windows 9 assumign it will follow Microsoft's pattern and then it bucks the pattern and turns out to be a total piece of shit and I'll be like should have gone with windows 8 fuckers

most people aren't going to revert the interface back, and then, Oh Boy! millions of computer users accustomed to a shitty interface who can't do dick and have to be spoon-fed by corporations

[Plug Drugs]

if it wasn't a diabolical plot by microsoft, they would have kept the old interface as optional, just a setting you can switch on/off instead of having to download something to change it back

[Plug Drugs]

Not to mention the main thing microsoft had going for it in its competition with apple was the more intelligible interface of Windows.
They gave that up to try and stay on the curve with Apple, but they're not going to be able to beat Apple at their own game.

[Plug Drugs]

It's like Microsoft almost had Apple in checkmate, panicked, fucked up and missed an important move, and now Apple just wormed its way out of it

you just described the very concept of windows you self righteous ill informed pc newbie hypocrite. If microsoft hadn't forced the gui on everyone with their win 95 abomination I wouldn't have to deal with dumbshits like you all the time. Go ahead, prove you wouldn't be completely and hopelessly lost if you ever had to do anything in DOS.

Plug Drugs please tell me how I should edit config.sys to set the com port for a soundblaster 16

i wonder if the seconds you save on reboots will ever make up for the time you wasted downloading win8

<-- still using xp SP3 no problems

plug drugs is a fucking moron who would be lost without the GUI, he might as well be an aol user

[Plug Drugs]

i can look things up and do them in DOS when i have to; throwing out the GUI for windows increases the gap between your average user and someone who knows what they're doing in DOS, and you fucking know it

[Plug Drugs]

oh, that's right, it's more beneficial for you if people don't know what they're doing on computers, so you can profit and leech off them you fucking parasite

Don't try to deflect this back onto me, you're in here whining that windows 8 will breed a new generation of idiots who don't understand the basic principles behind what they're doing, meanwhile windows already did that 20 years ago and you're one of the idiots it bred, you hypocrite.

yes when someone says "I don't want to learn/do this, you do it for me" that is not the basis of any and every service industry, that is parasitic, you're absolutely right.

I hate how those parasites at jiffy lube charge a reasonable price to change peoples oil for them, their customers will never know the glory and the satisfaction of getting covered in oil themselves and are clearly being taken advantage of

Clicking on pretty little pictures is hard, but I worked diligently to learn how and am now a super genius. If they make the pretty pictures just slightly bigger, though, that's like way too easy and frankly it insults my intelligence

so you'd honestly prefer to just do everything in DOS and have no GUI?

[Plug Drugs]

yes when someone says "I don't want to learn/do this, you do it for me" that is not the basis of any and every service industry, that is parasitic, you're absolutely right.

but it is still more beneficial for you if more people are out there going "I don't want to learn/do this, you do it for me", so you being in favor of something which does that is parasitic
