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.

L4 was just a ľkernel. 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.

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).

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.

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?

I love Windows 2000 SP4. It's a great operating system. It never crashes, takes less than a second to properly shut down, and runs extremely fast. It's also compatible with modern software.

It DOES crash, hence the 4 service packs. Also, you actually have to USE the OS, for it to crash (browsing the web and running office 97 doesn't count as USING).

I think we have already covered how ridiculous a metric shutdown speed is, especially on a "server" OS.

Im sure there is tons of modern software that it isn't compatible with, probably some that will crash it.

Even though it's technically still supported, there are serious security flaws in it that Microsoft won't fix because it will require too much effort.

If you ever tried to get Ubuntu to do something useful, you might be under the impression that Linux as a whole is a piece of crap. With every release I hope that they have fixed the numerous bugs present in the previous. I eventually get an installation to a point where I think everything is working but then I run across a show-stopper with no fix in sight.

For 10.04, this point was 4 weeks after installation and many wasted hours editing config files to get things to work which should work out of the box. After those 4 weeks I had an unsecure Samba server, unreliable ZoneMinder CCTV that craps out after a few hours and sluggish resource-hogging VNC remote desktop.

For comparison, Windows 7 with Luxriot was up and running in 2 hours and provided lightning-fast RDP remote desktop, stable CCTV monitoring and password-protected file sharing.

"Linux" is not the problem. Obsession with distros' number one priority being "sticking it to the man" and being "free" (as in freedom (but with conditions)) rather than fixing actual problems is.

Oh for Christs sake, I hate Geekhack. Not content with brainwashing me into buying more keyboards than I will need in my lifetime, I'm now browsing eBay looking for one of these Intel dolls for my desk at work.

On the topic of Ubuntu and how much it sucks, I'm getting 45MB/s disk 1 to disk 2 file copy versus 90MB/s in Windows 7 (same hardware). This is real-world 1TB of data, not a benchmark. It's probably my fault for not typing hdparm /dev/sda1 -dsds -fdfef -cweqwefd -ffdsf or similar nonsense post-install though.

mmx started with the first pentium (i think) so around 94/95ish. those spacesuits were popular towards the end of the century.
so unless intel tried to heavily brand spacesuits+mmx+pentium=> amd 3dnow
i don't think so.

ext3 on Ubuntu, NTFS on 7.


There you go, use Ext4 or JFS instead...

Yep. Moved to ext4 and performance is good. Happy with Ubuntu now.

Windows 2000 sucks, and IIS sucks. Gentoo and Lighttpd are much better. That is all.
