[QUOTE=Juggz;31366363]MBAM only gets rid of infections, not prevents. Antivirus, Not for a while now. I was using Kaspersky at the time. Firewall, nothing more than the windows one. And WTF common sense? I was on YouTube :/[/QUOTE] You don't use AV's and complain about how Windows is full of virii Seriously now
[QUOTE=wingless;31366366]I take it as training for when LinuX creates another alt. [editline]27th July 2011[/editline] Fun Fact. You can't actually get a virus from Youtube.[/QUOTE] Then how the hell did i get one? I wasnt on anything else that whole day. What a depressing thing to say though :/
[QUOTE=Juggz;31366409]Then how the hell did i get one? I wasnt on anything else that whole day. What a depressing thing to say though :/[/QUOTE] And are you sure you got it that day
[QUOTE=Juggz;31366409]Then how the hell did i get one? I wasnt on anything else that whole day. What a depressing thing to say though :/[/QUOTE]probably from some malware you already had
[QUOTE=Juggz;31366268]Basically im saying, Windows gives me the shits at times. Taking forever to update. The amount of times I got a virus from just surfing normal sites such as Youtube. (Javascript fly-by virus downloads, Hate em). But it plays games, well. So I use it. Mac on the other hand, updates in a couple of minutes. That includes the reboot time. Creating and sharing documents is easier, and iPhoto is a pretty decent program for organising my pictures.[/QUOTE] What thread was this again?

[QUOTE=Lyoko774;31365405]How exactly is it useful? Did you miss the part about me saying that at least 75% of the software that was developed for PowerPC was ported or updated later on for Intel support? Or are you just raging too fucking hard to read? fuck you guys are dumbasses[/QUOTE] I know this argument is over, but I just want to say this. Every fucking day before school, 3 friends and I played Starcraft. If the school updates to Lion, what are we supposed to do now? A simple feature that had compatibility for 100s of applications is suddenly gone, for no reason at all, and that can't be justified. It's like Windows removing compatibility for all Windows ME programs and earlier.

[QUOTE=Darkebrz;31366667]That's not the point :v: And we can't dual boot to Windows, we're using school provided Macs.[/QUOTE] Well if all else fails I'm sure you could.
why do so many schools provide computers to each student? I never had any sort of luxury like that. Not from highschool or college.
Why do schools even have Macs? School IT education is for office work, thats it. Why educate people on an operating system that no company with half a brain uses. It baffles me. Hell, they had might aswell have PC's with the entire Adobe package on, Photoshop through to premier.

Geez guys I don't think I heard anywhere near as much bitching when 64-bit versions of Windows didn't support 16-applications. Almost the same deal....
Does anyone know how to download from hulu now? Streamtransport is outdated and rtmpdump doesn't seem to support swf verification.
[QUOTE=wingless;31366772]Well if all else fails I'm sure you could.[/QUOTE] Nope. There is basically a BIOS password, so really no changes to the boot can be made. Theres like, a whole team of students that were trying to crack it however.
[QUOTE=Hexxeh;31368085]Geez guys I don't think I heard anywhere near as much bitching when 64-bit versions of Windows didn't support 16-applications. Almost the same deal....[/QUOTE] Not... quite. There used to be issues with them back in Windows XP so quite a lot of people were already using DOSBox and thus dropping support wasn't a huge deal. DOSBox ran their software perfectly so everyone was happy.

[QUOTE=Hexxeh;31368085]Geez guys I don't think I heard anywhere near as much bitching when 64-bit versions of Windows didn't support 16-applications. Almost the same deal....[/QUOTE] Isn't there a technical reason behind this?
I think DOSBox has less of an overhead, but yeah, I guess it's the same. The difference is that it was sorta more gradual since some versions of Windows seemed to support 16-bit and others didn't. With Mac OS, you don't have such a choice. Although now I guess you could start suing game companies or retail chains that still sell games that say they work on Macs but are built for PowerPC in the US. [editline]27th July 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Warship;31368327]Isn't there a technical reason behind this?[/QUOTE] Nope. Microsoft just dropped the 16-bit compability layer, possibly because they didn't like the idea of Windows-on-Windows-on-Windows.

It's a transition technology, and it's done it's job now.
(The compability layer was 32-bit and they didn't want to port it to 64-bit systems) [editline]27th July 2011[/editline] :ninja:
[QUOTE=Warship;31368327]Isn't there a technical reason behind this?[/QUOTE] Not really. The implementation they had for running 16-bit code on 32-bit Windows would have had to have been rewritten to make it work under 64-bit, but it's still technically possible.
If you guys are worried about a few old, unsupported games that won't run on Lion (Which I presume most of you don't even use), there's always WINE. WINE will probably support more games than will run natively on the Mac. Still, I don't use my Mac for much other than iMovie, iPhoto, programming and watching TWiT Live, so I'm still benefitting from all of the awesome features in Lion.
Today(27th) we celebrate 30 years of MS-DOS!

[QUOTE=wingless;31365221]And also dropped support for 15 years of THEIR software.[/QUOTE] yeah, are you going to complain when Microsoft drops XP since it's their software
Why can't Apple's CEO be the Steve of another kind, the Wozniak kind. Wonder how the company was if that was the case.
