Cool tool for Vista

[Charles Martel]

I know a lot of you hate Vista (I have my own issues with it), but I ran across this really cool tool that allows you to change the default Vista background to whatever you want. Sort of how XP defaults to the system background when you lock the screen. But this works for any bitmap and is free. It's called Logon Studio. Here is the URL to it (it works for XP too): http://www.stardock.com/products/logonstudio/downloads.asp

Hey, it's free too!

[Mark Kerpolt]

The coolest tool for Kikero$oft Vi$ta, by far, is: "format C:" via WinPE.

Got one of those too guy. And a linux box and I am well versed in every one of those systems, so your idiot flames only make you look bad. Guess this is what I get for trying to share info on the board. A blast of retardation.

Are you shitting me? Overpriced, laminated, ‘trendy’ Jew shit.

The only thing that makes them somewhat worthwhile is that they're customized entirely to the type of hardware they run on and that they run on a version of BSD (albeit bloated and butchered, but I heard you can also run X11), but that's really it.

Macs are even more overpriced than those "Alienware" shits. Most of the crap they sell you can build for half the price yourself. Also, I don't think I will ever switch to Windows Vista, what a shitty OS.

Yea no need in switching, Windows 7 will be out within 2 yrs. So they are saying anyways. Vista is nothing but a bloated resource hog. nothing more.

Overpriced my ass. The OS alone is worth more than some piece o shit Dell. They're actually cheaper than similarly spec'd PC's. And how the fuck are Apples jewish? Trendy maybe, but jewish?

I think they're prepared to release it even earlier, if all of their Nigerian (http://research.microsoft.com/workshops/SCS2005/speakers/Obasanjo.aspx), Bangladeshi, Israeli and other ‘high-class’ (read: shitskin) ‘programmers’ allow it to be done even within 2 years.

:lulz:


Seriously though, the whole decision to release this ‘Windows 7,’ Vista ‘successor,’ earlier is to show that even M$ views Vista as a pile of shit. They're honest for once in their entire existence, albeit indirectly.



Overpriced my ass.
Are you saying they're cheap then...? They are overpriced, just compare it with other brand laptop/notebook manufacturers like HP, Acer, etc.; they offer laptops with far better specifications, even with S-ATA via AHCI and other gadgets, for almost half of the price that Apple is trying to scam people into getting... Just because Apple's shit is laminated, even within the operating system, with this artificial ‘shine’ that eats a considerable amount of system resources away for a kike-like trademark with no functional means or purpose.


The OS alone is worth more than some piece o shit Dell.
Duh, the OS isn't even Apple's to begin with. Like I said, it's a rip-off of BSD, with a stupid graphical layer that eats a lot of system resources away.

Now this puzzles me, why the fuck do you even mention Dell? Is Dell the only alternative for you besides Apple or so?! If you tried to insinuate anything, let me tell you: I'd never buy anything from that kike Michael Dell, and Dell is really equally overpriced.


They're actually cheaper than similarly spec'd PC's.:lulz:

Have you seen the shitty ass support Valve gave Dell like 3 years ago ? They went to Alcatraz (For some reason) and basically told the world how great Dell is (By showing everyone a fucking 3000 dollar Dell or so with a window and lit up fans). Considering how buggy Halva 2 was on its release I wonder if the super Dell could actually handle it. Hell I wonder if the Dell even worked.

I bet that chubby fat boy Gabe Newell had a great "meeting" with the Dell employees there. That must be why he looked so tired at the press meeting. Being a fat fuck means that there is a lack of endurance even when the activity involves taking it up the ventilation shaft. :D

No I am not saying they are cheap. But like I said, I have done the research, and Apple is by far a better bang for the buck. I might be biased, since I learned on one, and my specialty is in graphics. Adobe software runs like it was made for OSX.

Duh, the OS isn't even Apple's to begin with. Like I said, it's a rip-off of BSD, with a stupid graphical layer that eats a lot of system resources away.
Not as bad a rip off as vista, and the gui hardly eats resources. I never get a crash, and with dual core, it is lightning fast. Plus no viruses (yet).

I used a lot of Dells in school, and grew to hate them, or maybe it was windows I really hated. Constant rebooting and crashing. You couldn't work on a project without constantly saving. I do however like IBMs thinkpad.

:lulz:

(Are you by any chance being paid by Apple...?)

I really fucking wish seeing as I have bought four computers from them in the past 3 years. They are work horses with extremely well reliability. When there is a problem their support is 98% of the time white, and don't treat you like a 6 year old.

Oh, don't get me started about that nauseating fat fuck. Even his biggest fan boys, who were right about to blow him to ‘béta-test’ HL², got sick and tired of that fat prick.

Adobe runs just fine here, too bad they won't release native x86-64 versions of their stuff yet.

That's not true, it does eat a lot of resources. In my opinion, you probably won't agree, all that is wasted on a ‘laminated,’ interactive Apple advertisement billboard (a.k.a. the GUI), is a huge waste. Resources that should've been reserved for actual computing tasks.


I never get a crash, and with dual core, it is lightning fast. Plus no viruses (yet).
As for the no virii, if more people get Apples, we'll see if that'll be much longer the case. And, as for lightning fast, for the cash you pay, you'd certainly at least fucking expect that.

Well, that's just a natural thing for an Aryan to do. Nothing awkward here.

Let me guess, Windoze 9x ‘powered’ machines? As for IBM, nowadays I'd avoid them (as they're majority-owned by the yellow dog-eaters).

Kikero$oft's ‘support’ has been 100% White for me, since I myself have always solved all of my problems.


By the way, Dan O, your name in your avatar image is incorrectly spelled.

Itz easy. If you need 64-bits capability, and if you insist on having Windoze, then at least get XP x86-64 edition or 2003 $erver.

Depending on your setup it might be a serious bitch with drivers, but when it runs it's quite a bit better than Vi$ta.

Some people (mostly Microsoft supporters) like to claim there are no Mac OS X viruses because there is not enough market share to encourage them to write viruses for it. But, Paul Venezia of InfoWorld cleverly makes the point that market share has nothing to do with it. Virus writers like to show off and the real reason why we haven’t seen any Mac attacks is simply due to the fact that Macs are just more secure.

The point here is that if it has a CPU, hackers will try to break it, and virus writers will try to write a virus for it. Given that there are probably only a few hundred — maybe a thousand — iPods running Linux out there, the fact that someone took the time to write this virus, or malicious code is an example of why Apple detractors clamoring that Macs aren’t a target due to the lower market share are all wet. I ranted on MOAB two weeks ago, pointing out that most of their bugs were either local exploits or issues within third-party applications, and there has never been a virus in the wild for OS X, much like there’s never been one for Linux. The difference isn’t market share, it’s the foundation of the operating systems. Given that most virus authors and hackers are in it for the ego, don’t you think that there would be a huge incentive to be the first one to write a widespread OS X, Linux, or FreeBSD virus?

If an OS is built on shaky ground, everything layered on top will suffer. This is the position that Microsoft is in now. Apple was in this very position at the end of the last century. They decided to start over, providing a clear upgrade path and supporting legacy applications on the new platform. OS X was developed from BSD and NeXT, built on a foundation that dates back twenty years or more, with the OS base code freely available for download, yet there have been no significant security vulnerabilities in OS X. This isn’t due to market share, this isn’t due to lack of attention, this is due to proper coding and development. That isn’t to say that there are no chinks in Apple’s OS armor — there definitely are — but the foundation is solid, therefore those chinks aren’t likely to destroy the whole shebang. The same is true of Linux, and most UNIX-derived operating systems.

It is so difficult to successfully attack the Mac, virus writers simply give up and go back to attacking windows because why put the time and resources into Macs when they can have full run of most windows machines without any effort at all. Even when there is a vulnerability discovered on the Mac there isn’t a rush to exploit it because the OS further prevents attackers from gaining full control and doing much harm. With Windows, once an attacker is “in” the entire machine and every layer is compromised in most cases. More and more viruses are deploying rootkits and other means to avoid detection and the only way Windows users can be sure they’re rid of the malware is to fully format the entire machine.

Dan_O, how does that piece of text ‘refute’ or ‘contradict’ anything I previously said?

My point was never about virii and certainly not that *N*X systems are vulnerable in any way (let alone more than Windoze).

Do you still deny that Macs are horribly overpriced? Especially for people that could care less for ‘laminated’ buttons and giving away lots of system resources for it all to be rendered on screen also. :o

Not overpriced for people looking for a solid computer with a user-friendly OS, good tech support, and virus free. Not to mention all the shit they come with. Built in firewire camera, iLife, etc. They're not for everyone, but who cares?

[Charles Martel]

You know what would be good? To break out this subforum to Linux, Windows, Mac, Other subforums. Just a thought. I think that would better help us initially direct our concerns.

The only thing that makes them somewhat worthwhile is that they're customized entirely to the type of hardware they run on and that they run on a version of BSD (albeit bloated and butchered, but I heard you can also run X11), but that's really it.Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) is certified by the Open Group (http://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/brand3555.htm). That technically makes it an even purer expression of UNIX than BSD is. So in what way is it "bloated and butchered?"

And yes, X11 is a mouse-click away, although I have no idea why anyone would want to use it when Apple's default windowing system is so much smoother and faster.

For the record, I run Mac OS X, but I'm not a proselytizer for Apple. I couldn't care less what operating system a person uses, I'm only against Microsoft because they are so blatantly anti-White.

This subgroup has way too many posts that are not useful. We all know Vista is a bloated piece of crap. But you don't get Dx10 otherwise.

Linux based OS's are far more tailorable than any Darwin-based OS. A given. Suffice it to say I was staring down next years mac in a lab yesterday. So don't armchair me like I'm some 3rd rate IT guy working for the government. I see things you guys could only dream of.

Dream on. :lulz:

[Myles]

Dream on. :lulz:It took you two days to post that? You did so well in my Jew quotes thread (I just noticed that this evening, thanks) that I was expecting something a little better than a two word reply and a puerile smilie.

But seriously, Aistulf, once again I politely ask you for some specific examples of how Apple "bloated and butchered" the FreeBSD kernel. You made the statement my friend. Surely you can back it up with some verifiable, irrefragable facts, right?

Another thing I'm wondering is that since Apple developers have been contributing code to the FreeBSD project, is FreeBSD now "bloated and butchered" as well?

[Mark Kerpolt]

No, it took me two two microseconds to post that. Particularly the line: “That technically makes it an even purer expression of UNIX than BSD is.” is absolute fucking bullshit. The ‘recognition’ of the Open Group is acquired almost entirely through licensing of the UNIX trademark (read about it here (http://www.linux.com/articles/37778)). It has little to nothing to do with how UNIX-like and compatible an OS is. It also makes no sense, whatsoever, that you begin by ranting that OS X is more UNIX-like than *BSD, while you know and admit its derived from *BSD; what kind of logical fallacy is that!?

In fact, Window$ NT 4's kernel was also partially ripped off from *BSD, even with a certain degree of POSIX-compliance as well. Most later Window$ versions have evolved from it ever since.

You can build your own Mac and save at least 1/3 the cost. I built one about a month ago and it works fine. Not one crash or any other issues.

Go here (http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showforum=137) to learn how.

The best free software available for a PC is called Rocket Dock and you can get it here (http://rocketdock.com/)

RocketDock is a smoothly animated, alpha blended application launcher. It provides a nice clean interface to drop shortcuts on for easy access and organization. With each item completely customizable there is no end to what you can add and launch from the dock.

Now with added Taskbar support your minimized windows can appear as icons on the dock. This allows for better productivity and accessibility.

It has little to nothing to do with how UNIX-like and compatible an OS is.

Aistulf,

First of all, I didn't "rant" about anything; I've been polite and respectful with everyone I've communicated with here, which is more than can be said about your behavior. You seem to have an emotional investment in these operating system discussions. I don't.

Second, once again you're being hyperbolic as anyone with an IQ higher than their shoe size knows you couldn't have possibly made your post in two microseconds.

Third, I'm well aware of the article you posted; I've seen it discussed elsewhere with contributions from various UNIX professionals (although I honestly can't remember where off the top of my head, it's been a few years). Linux.com has a commercially vested interest in downplaying the Open Group certification, basically saying it's nothing than more than paying for a license, while also admitting an OS must "meet certain requirements [and] [pass] the qualification tests."

Wikipedia provides an excellent definition of the Open Group:
"The Open Group is an industry consortium to set vendor- and technology-neutral open standards for computing infrastructure. It was formed when X/Open merged with the Open Software Foundation in 1996. The Open Group is most famous as the certifying body for the UNIX trademark, in the past the group was best known for its publication of the Single UNIX Specification paper, which extends the POSIX standards and is the official definition of UNIX. Their members include a range of IT buyers and vendors as well as government agencies, for example Capgemini, Fujitsu, Hitachi, HP, IBM, NEC, US Department of Defense, NASA and others."
You can also read about POSIX here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posix), and the Single UNIX Specification (SUS) paper here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_UNIX_Specification).

Note in the SUS article, Linus Torvalds himself openly admits he tried to make Linux "as POSIX-conforming as possible, although he coded Linux before he obtained a copy of the standards, basing its system call behaviors on man pages from existing Unix systems, but this post referred to pre-1.0 Linux in 1992." Richard Stallman, the founder creator of the GNU Project (which is what Torvalds used to build Linux) has also talked about the importance of POSIX compliance.

You'll also note that FreeBSD has "a C99 and POSIX Conformance Project (http://www.freebsd.org/projects/c99/) which aims for full compliance with a large subset of the SUS."

Thus, there's simply no way to downplay the importance of POSIX/SUS, and the Open Group is what defines those standards. In essence, you're saying that the group that sets the official definition of UNIX "has little to nothing to do with how UNIX-like... an OS is."

And once again, I will say for the record that I think Linux and the BSD derivatives are fantastic OSes. I'm sure cost is a factor in obtaining their licenses and I certainly don't deny they're both UNIX-like. In fact, I believe it's only a matter of time before Linux becomes Open Group certified.

It also makes no sense, whatsoever, that you begin by ranting that OS X is more UNIX-like than *BSD, while you know and admit its derived from *BSD; what kind of logical fallacy is that!?Of course I "admitted" it, that's a known fact. I say Apple took FreeBSD and made the SUS compliant Darwin out of it. Where's the logical fallacy in that?

Which brings us to our final point: I see once again you evaded my request for you to prove your statement that Apple took FreeBSD and "bloated and butchered" it. In what specific ways was FreeBSD "bloated and butchered", Aistulf? Why won't you extend me the courtesy of answering my question, Aistulf?

You can also run the XP x86-64 edition.

You can also go to hell.

Best thing I like about Vista, it installs all the drivers I used to have to do myself manually, and the networking is improved. Other than that not much to talk about. I still prefer XP.

I posted this a LONG time ago. Yet none of you can post other threads about new tech. If I was to say "you suck ass" that would be an understatement.

Come on WN brethren!

What, you think your petty knowledge is going to stand true in a year?
When you share you share you learn....

OTPTT was supposed to post here about how to create a truecrypt HD but that went into bullshit-land, suck-ass style.

Whatever.....now you guys know why nobody will share their info with you.

Here is a better tool for vista...

I fixed an iMAC for some dude last week, he had only forgotten his password and didn't know how to fuck with the jumpers on his mobo. It's no big deal, I had a play with the machine and although this is rock solid security and program compatibility wise (all apple progs made by apple apparently). it was prety boring.

What puzzles me is that Apple created the first GUI but let microsoft make all the money out of it with the advent of Windows 95. You want to make it big you keep your prices down. Mind you I can see the day when Linux bring out a system that beats the lot on open source, then the greedy bastards can all go out of business.

Macs are nice. I use one for as an internet device. It's about as useful as my PS3 running Yellow Dog Linux. And internet device and nothing more. It doesn't run anywhere near the hundreds of apps on the market that a PC does. Never has, never will. They have less than 5% of the market.

If you think that makes for some awesome platform, I have another brand name for you to think about: "Amiga".

Dual booting them with windows only makes them worthwhile. And if you are going to do that, then why not just buy a PC?

Sorry Brother I think our wires are crossed here. I only ever use PC but did have a mess about on a mac. I'd never buy a mac, but being able to duel boot my system is useful, and using Linux for the online stuff is much safer.

There is much to like about Vista, however my first PC was Windows XP and so that will probably always be my favourite. :)

Not true, that was Xerox.

Oh and, the moment Bill Gates acquired DOS from Tim Paterson for a ridiculously Jewy price, only to be marketed and sold for much more later on. Windows 3.x was the first real breakthrough and advent of a M$-made ‘GUI,’ and which was nothing more than a ‘M$’-DOS wrapper with some additional APIs really...

Finally something we agree on computer-wise. :)

Another such a great platform, or even greater (for who can afford it): IRIX (SGI). I've recently acquired a machine for almost nothing, which is still in use in medical research, the defense industry, broadcasting, film and post-production studios, selling for prices between $75K and $110K (!!) on average. Everything about those machines is just so great, from a stability point-of-view to how the chassis and exterior is finished. And, it's not made in China (or Israel for that matter) either! Just perfect.

Heh, old school. You aren't so bad after all....
