Give a popup and go 'aah well give a damn later'



Also I think docky is a little big xD

is that just a ridiculously small resolution?

800x600, apparently. madness.

Also, I haven't seen a bluescreen for ages.

Yes Nannal, its just a VM running in 800x600

I've never had a bluescreen on one of my own comps, crappy school ones however... Seriously they have 512mb RAM and the school tries to run all the latest video and picture editing programs on them *fails* Although we will have a new network system and new comps for the mail comp room this upcoming term ... It'll still be bad.

well, schools do have to work to a budget

If schools used open source as opposed to expensive company licenses the schools would save millions each year

Too true, they must be getting ripped off by Viglen (the company they use for the network which got mega hacked on the last week of term ) Na it wasnt me it was a very clever virus Hacked loads of accounts then completely crashed the network.

Yeah Wynney they do have a budget, why dont they just let everyone bring their own laptops or something, if everyone had one then none would get stolen/ it'd all be fair.

tree, take one network cable out of your pc, take the network cable of your neighbor, plug your cable into their port, tell me what happens


(packets hit each other creating quarks and other sub atomic particles like in the larger version of this at CERN)

TBH I don't think this actually does anything, it's just what was blamed on half the network shutting down once.

lul whut? Why would i have 2 ethernet ports/cables? And once more, what?

800x600 lol.

except most school children grow up with Windows.

Nannal they actually get it very cheap.

And it's part of the whole support the economy

My school bought a tonne of picture editing stuff which Paint.net could also do... for free

My school uses paint.net and stuff like open office over the alternatives.


And now they're trying to install windows 7 onto our amazing 1gig of ram machines, seriously?

Haha lol, we're still on xp (as i know of they are re doing the system over the holidays) ours have about 1gb ram too but now we have a hole load of new ones, they are IBM's version of the apple mac, (screen built in/comp in the screen) however they are bout 3 times the size, its like a mini pc bolted to a screen :O. Hopefully they'll be better

My Uni (well my department at least) is all linux

I've never properly used a linux what benefits do they have?

It's free, it runs much faster, it doesnt shit about with you, and in general it works better. But it doesn't support games and a lot of usefull programs.

Umm, so its good for something that isnt that good that you just want to run smoothly and for free?

... fail

Anyhow most of you seem to be thinking that open source means free.

lols

Umm yeah, open source does mean free pretty much.

I don't see how being able to modify EVERY SINGLE THING in the original source code, is not considered free.

it means free.
