[QUOTE=Ezhik;20307326]That's because both systems are Unix based.[/QUOTE]
I know that.
Also I was working on a presentation for History using open office in Ubuntu. I'm approached by a teacher and told that It wont work when I go to present because Openoffice isn't compatible with Windows. I didn't care for 2 reasons, 1 If I really wanted to I could export it as a PDF which works across all currently used OSes and 2 I was using my Laptop with Linux installed. Not some school provided computer.

And OO.o DOES work with Windows.
It is better not to confuse them with these newfangled things called "logic" and "common sense". Just ignore them until they go away.
[QUOTE=xZippy;20307121]Third version of this thread, and this shit still ain't getting old. Ever witness a computer illiterate dumbshit give another computer illiterate his/her computer in an attempt to "fix" it or "speed it up"?[/QUOTE]
Or even worse, those people who download those "PC Optimiser" programs from GoogleAds at the side of the page.
Yesterday I was called to remove one of those "Registry Optimiser" programs (a.k.a. scareware) from my parent's computer. I was tired of constantly having to clean it out every week because they'd done something stupid, so I put linux mint on it and called it a day.
mint is annoying as hell. you might be better off with plain Ubuntu or xubuntu.
[QUOTE=daijitsu;20307136]this calls for one of those command prompt scripts to write/delete the same little file over and over and over and over... though I bet it might take a few days... or weeks... or months...[/QUOTE]
You need dd for that, and you cannot destory a hard drive this way without spending a few years.

On the talk about virus-like-scripts... I say, make a program that creates folders that don't do shit,
but they have content that makes anti-virus (any kind) read them as viruses.
Just let it activate, and a few hours later, the person does a random virus scan- BOOM!
Three and a half dozen viruses. It's sure to make shit hit the ceiling.
maybe just save a bunch of empty files that have the same name as popular viruses?

Dude chill.. I found it quite funny... I thought I had to post it.
Partially Offtop.
We've got MacBook's in our school so that we can work and i friggin' hate it.
I have a nice sticker that says "iCrap" on it, i'm thinking about buying it out after the school ends (it'll pretty cheap) just to film how i trash it (mmmmm...sledgehammer).
Should i do it?
Piss on it.

•refer to itself as "Bluescreen"
•look like that in any way, shape, or form. [url=http://jmobley123.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/blue-screen-of-death1.jpg](real BSoD)[/url]
•run within windows, and thus cannot have an error window

Amen. Furthermore, anyone here think the Windows 6.x Bluescreens are fucking scary?
I never got one on Vista, but the one I got one day after installing 7 (my fault, faulty bluetooth drivers. Pretty ironic...) scared the shite out of me.

haven't seen it yet, actually.
I haven't gotten a single BSoD since I got this new computer (Vista). :downs:
But I got it a [b]shitload[/b] on my last computer. :saddowns: (a shitty computer that was never
meant for gaming and was outdated when it was build by at least four years)
