Perhaps i'm misunderstanding you.

I'm saying right now, for a layman, Windows is more useful than Linux.

My PC is running Ubuntu and my Mac OSX, there is no hatred of linux from my end. But I need to use corel painter, photoshop, and iLife...GIMP is no substitute.

Good lord, wrath of the penguins. :lolz:

a) sweeping generalisation
b) not our fault you totally rely on gay programs like ilife, I mean what if apple stopped making it? you'd be OMFGFGNOOOO, fuck that, relying solely on a commercial product, no thanks.
c) but what about my gay applications,
d) no-one said linux was better than windows on _your_ desktop
e) linux is better than windows on _my_ desktop
f) you're too mac attached, learn computing not ilife.

99.9% of all people using computers are also "relying solely on a commercial product"

As if it makes any kind of difference. :oh_no:

In today's market, there is not enough time to make drawings by hand nor calculate loads/stresses/hydraulic pressures manually.

Its obvious that the vast majority rely solely on commercial products.

lol horse and buggy.

Sometimes kern requires that you point out the obvious.

Goes along with the linux die hard "open source till the end" types.

I think there is some component of linux that makes people bitter. There is more to life than computers, these people seriously need a reality check.

It's a wonder that all these idiots who rely on commercial software are able to produce anything at all.

I'm sure the software that Nintendo uses to make games is all OSS, nothing proprietary or commercial at all.

What color is the sky in kernowland?

Their compiler is actually GNU GCC

You going to give up now or later?

:shame:

I'll mention sony use gcc quite a lot also, and all their central station discs use GPL libraries too, as do their TV's .

Nintendo's main compiler is GCC? Believable but I'd like a link. I'm surprized though, did they not have to modify the compiler at all for their CPU's? Did they republish it under the GPL?

They don't use Painter, Final Cut Pro, Premier, Photoshop, Maya, 3DS Max, etc?

All their Development systems run Linux, or do they run Windows? Are the manuals written in Open Office or Word?

I wonder if Miyamoto does his work on Linux or if it's on a Mac or Windows box? I sure hope he's running slackware or something otherwise he'd be some kind of idiot...

Still I'm ashamed of you, all these posts about how great VF4 or SF3 is, relying on commercial software for entertainment? Why aren't you extolling the virtues of Tux Racer? :conf:

I'll toss it back to you at this point: "You going to give up now or later?" :chimp:

This is a fantastic thread.

What flavor of Linux do you run Kernow?

I use "gay little programs" like iLife because they cost $79 for the suite and do everything I want them to instead of $1200 for the professional shite. I know four times as much as your typical computer user (as do most people on this site) and I still can't figure shit out on linux as easily as I can on osx.

I like computers, but am not a unix guru by any means, and I don't see how I'm over generalizing...if you think the world can live without windows right now you're living in a cave.

Most people, myself included, just don't have the time to learn computer languages and open source crap.

It's the responsibility of the operating system developers to make something user friendly for the masses, as much as it may bother you linux has failed miserably in this capacity...Ubuntu is the closest so far but I still can't install things as easily as I can on my Mac...or even Windows.

A person should never have to use the terminal unless they want to...ever.

they have no responsibility to do such thing, maybe in ubuntu as its their slogan, but not anyone else.

its not that custom a cpu, everyone knows its ppc based.

so what if the modifications would be necessary? you have source, luke. unlike VC++ lol

2) who said anything about its os?
3) gcc? sonned
4) who said they developed using linux as a platform? gcc runs on windows too

Hows that microsoft fridge treating you, I hear it plays WMV and stuff with the microwave but they both need 1GB RAM for windows xp embedded.

:multi_co:

1.) It's a custom CPU, meaning it will have custom OPS, meaning that some modifications to the compiler would be necessary.
2.) You're full of it: Gamecube OS programmed using CodeWarrior
3.) Much development is done on ProDG, which does use GCC, but is still very much proprietary software, and in fact only runs on Windows.

sonned.
