Or is it not? Or do you like Mac's better? Argue about operating systems here.

Each has strengths, each has things that pieve me.

I heard Windows 3.1 is pretty good. Also its best if you run it on old IBM hardware and only ever use a Model M on it. There we got that all covered and I saved some people some work to post, move on.

What about TOPS-20 ?
Or RiscOS ?
And OpenGenera ?
Or LynxOS ?
Or L4 ?

microsoft windows · « **Reply #4 on:** Fri, 06 August 2010, 13:21:26 »

You can argue about them here too.

Every operating system except OpenVMS is junk. Mainly because their logo is Jaws.

L4 was just a µkernel. You could run Linux on top of it, with slightly faster context switching. But then, a lot has changed to the mainline Linux kernel since then.

Linux IS a piece of crap, but in that analogy, win2k is a squirt of hot diarrhea that has been fermenting in the bowl for 10 years, just begging to be flushed. Ill take a solid **** any day.

I prefer the Toto toilets over the INAX ones

HaaTa · « **Reply #13 on:** Fri, 06 August 2010, 15:09:03 »

One thing that I thought was useful, was the ability to choose from a Big (大) or Small (小) flush. Pretty much universally available on Japanese toilets, even the low-tech ones (no electronics).

instantkamera · « **Reply #14 on:** Fri, 06 August 2010, 15:13:26 »

Dual flush is pretty universal everywhere, no? I know it is common in Europe, and anything being newly installed here (in Canada) is DF.

I prefer the good, old-fashioned adage: "If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down."

the problem is with people who "let the brown sit around".

We have a dual-flush low flow toilet waiting to be installed, replacing the old toilet (which is functionally fantastic).

I do not look forward to it.

aahhh. wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more.

So that is illustrating not to jam the plumbing and porcelain up your rear? Do folks really need that point driven home (pun intended)?

Don't know about you guys, but it's predominant in my country. And I think a good hose to wash it down is better:

- environmentally friendly
- promotes a good wash with your fingers to make sure you are 'truly clean'
- nice soothing feeling

Although I couldn't find a bidet in HK or Taiwan washrooms.. I think US generally like toilet paper more?

Lanx · « **Reply #21 on:** Sat, 14 August 2010, 00:34:42 »

wait... it's bidet only? i thought it was a combo like, do your thing... use toilet paper... activate bidet.

I've got a little IBM "shark" storage rubber shark around here somewhere, wonder where that thing is?

Those WCs are fancy, they should also add a few steel handles in the sides for the tourists not used to eat tons of rice every day

isn't that old school? didn't they stop the astronaut campaign at the turn of the century? (give or take a year or 2)

Who do you think you're talking to? What computer products do I have that aren't out-of-date? My AutoCad manual from 1989? Windows 2000? Office 97?

I've only got the little blue astronauts. And they're pre-Pentium.
