Then I forgot to log on and click the link to unsuspend it.
Sorry about that. My my... What have we here.
General | Posted 11 years ago Have you even been to Walmart's site without Javascript?
Well I just did and... Well...
Just try it and look at where the cart icon should be?
http://www.walmart.com/ What theme(s) would you like to see me do?
General | Posted 11 years ago Well, after I fix the last 2 bugs in my Xfce theme I'll be doing some others.
I was planing on doing:
BreadBox Ensemble
DESQview/X
AmigaOS 4
MacOS 9
QNX 6
BeOS 5
If you would like to see any of these get priority or have a request for one that can be done with Xfce then let me know.
(I'll respond fastest on Skype or in an FA note.) What the?...

Go home ZSH, your drunk. Looking for interview volunteers!
General | Posted 11 years agoDear furries:
I am looking for interviewees for a special journalism project that I am doing in partnership with this wonderful group. The subject is simple: Why do you use an alternative operating system? The requirements to be a part of this project are not very strict, so anyone can enter:
-You must use an alternative operating system. Even if you only use it occasionally as a hobby, or if you have never used a mainstream OS before, I'd like to speak with you!
-You must have an interview with me. I'm keeping my options open so you can choose to be interviewed over a video call, a phone call, a series of IMs or notes, or a questionnaire. Whatever you are comfortable with and have time for really. I'll only ask questions regarding the topic and will not stray to personal questions. You can remain anonymous if you'd like.
Well, that's it! Please, note me or comment on this journal if you are interested! :)

General | Posted 11 years agoWell... Thanks guys/girs/whatever. ^-^
General | Posted 11 years agoI know I haven't really done anything here as I felt a bit bad after all my screen shots got taken down.
But after a week or so of being gone I see that we have five new members.
<3
Thanks so much to all of you.
(Also if you want to make anything for this group that would be lovely. ^-^)

I: OpenVMS
Initial Release: October, 1977 (VAX-11/VMS V1.0)
Current Release: June, 2010 (OpenVMS 8.4)
Platforms: VAX, Alpha, Itanium
Developer: Digital Equipment Corporation, Compaq, Hewlett-Packard
Basic Information:
In 1975 Digital Equipment Corporation began a project to extend their venerable PDP-11 series of 16-bit minicomputers to a newer 32-bit line. Along with the hardware project, a software project was started which was closely linked with the hardware project. Gordon Bell, Roger Gourd, and Dave Cutler are some of the names associated with the project that became the VAX architecture, and VMS operating system.
VMS is a multiuser system, it supports multiple processor systems and architectures, as well as tightly integrated clustering and networking abilities. Multiprocessor support was introduced in 1982, and clustering support in 1984. Because of the design doctrine which guided VMS, VMSclusters can have uptimes of over a decade, as they support multiple system disks, and the ability to update individual nodes without affecting the rest of the cluster.
Pros:
* Clustering - maximum 96 nodes supported, but clusters of up to 128 nodes are possible
* Free for non-commerical use
* High reliability
* High security
Cons:
* Only supports VAX (OpenVMS 7.3-2), Alpha and Itanium (OpenVMS 8.4)
* Requires licensing from Hewlett-Packard
* "Layered products", e.g. compilers, productivity software, network stacks, and the GUI, require licenses; covered by the above free licenses
* CLI is verbose and unlike any CLI for BSD or Linux systems
II: z\OS
Initial Release: March 2001 (z\OS V1R1)
Current Release: September 2013 (z\OS V2R1)
Platforms: z\Architecture, ESA/390
Developer: IBM
Basic Information:
IBM's primary and flagship mainframe operating system. Derived from the OS family of operating systems in their mainframe line. 64-bit, and supports all the features of the z\Architecture.
With the optional UNIX System Services software, it becomes compatible with the POSIX standard for UNIX systems.
Being a mainframe operating system, it is designed for high uptime, and excellent quality of service. It includes IBM's Parallel Sysplex clustering built in. Further, it also supports running software compiled on much older OS series family members.
Pros:
* Backwards compatibility with 24-bit, and 31-bit applications
* Software support for all the "big name" mainframe applications -- e.g. CICS, IMS, DB2, SNA
* Flexible licensing
Cons:
* Only runs on z\Architecture
* Only licensed to owners of actual z\Architecture hardware
* Obtuse, with a steep learning curve
III: z\VM
Initial Release: October 2000 (z\VM 1.0?)
Current Release: July 2013 (z\VM 6.3)
Platforms: z\Architecture
Developer: IBM
Basic Information:
This is a hypervisor operating system. That means it runs virtual machines for multiple client operating systems. Tracing its roots through IBM's VM line of operating systems, z\VM is capable of hosting all the other IBM mainframe systems -- z\OS, z\VSE, z\TPF, and z\Linux -- as well as itself.
Pros:
* Hypervisor -- can run as many operating systems on the hardware as you care to
* Robust and efficient design -- it's not slow and painful
Cons:
* Learning curve
* Same licensing "issues" as with z\OS
IV: z\VSE
Initial Release: 2005
Current Release: June 2013 (z\VSE 5.1.2)
Platforms: z\Architecture
Developer: IBM
Basic Information:
Derived from IBM's DOS line of mainframe operating systems, z\VSE is, essentially, a smaller and less capable version of z\OS with a few differences.
Consequently, it is a cheaper system than z\OS.
Pros:
* Small, cheap
Cons:
* Not as capable as z\OS
* Same licensing "issues" as plauge all the z\Architecture operating systems
V: z\TPF
Initial Release: December 2005 (z\TPF V1R1)
Current Release: December 2005 (z\TPF V1R1)
Platforms: z\Architecture
Developer: IBM
Basic Information:
The derivative of the ACP and TPF operating systems, TPF is not a general purpose operating system. TPF is designed for high volume, high throughput (tens of thousands per second) transaction processing (authorizing credit card payments, reserving airline tickets, stock trading).
Highly reliable, with high performance.
Pros:
* Fast, very damn fast
* Reliable -- can run on multiple machines simultaneously
Cons:
* Not general purpose
* Steep learning curve
* Three and only three languages supported: Assembler, C, and C++
* Similar licensing issues as with the other z\Architecture operating systems
VI: QNX
Initial Release: 1982
Current Release: July 2012 (QNX 6.5.0 SP1)
Platforms: Intel 8088, x86, MIPS, PowerPC, SH-4, ARM, StrongARM, XScale
Developer: QNX Software Systems, BlackBerry Ltd.
Basic Information:
A real time, highly efficient, POSIX compliant operating system. Normally used for embedded systems, but it can be installed onto a desktop.
It has free licenses for non-commerical, personal use. It makes use of the NetBSD pkgsrc framework, so there is some variety of software which could work on it.
It's very much a real-time system for embedded use, so it has a lot of things that you don't find in other POSIX complaint systems. Example uses in embedded systems would be Cisco's IOS-XR for their larger enterprise class networking equipment, the OS for the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, and the OS for the BlackBerry 10 family.
Pros:
* Real-time OS -- safe for uses in automotive controls and avionics
* Free, non-commerical, single user licenses
Cons:
* Slightly different programming wise than normal POSIX systems
* Scope of software limited to NBSD's pkgsrc and that which can compile on the hardware

Top OS roomers (In no real order)
General | Posted 12 years agoNote: This list will be updated often so check back.
1) Linux is just a insecure as Windows.
Well it is true that it isn't as perfect as some people think, Linux is more secure beaus:
A: It is a proper *NIX OS so inorder for someone to do any real damage they would need your root password.
B: It supports full file permissions.
C: Linux gets contributors from Google and IBM. (Yes I know NASA helps to but if I had $1 for everytime the Anons hacked them...)
D: Being a less popular OS helps. (But is not the only reason.)
2) MacOS is the essayist OS to use. (Yes I know they call it OS X I just don't care.)
Not really... I mean if you find it user friendly that's OK with me, but I can use Gentoo yet can't use a Mac wright a school report.
>_<
3) Linux is a CLI OS.
Unity, KDE, GNOME3, Mate, Xfce, OpenBox, Fluxbox, Enlightenment, and TWM (Just to name a few.) are all GUIs for Linux...
4) Linux can't connect to the Internet. (Not one you hear much.)
Then how am i on it now?... Spooky!
5) Linux can't play DVDs or Blurays
Although to get these proprietary formats working correctly requires a bit of tinkering, it is very easy and possible, especially on the more user-friendly distros.
6) Windows is easier to use than Linux
It's only easier because it's what you are used to. Playing the piano is easier than playing the recorder if you've only played the piano for the past ten years and have never tried the recorder. In many ways, *NIX systems are actually easier than Windows to use, especially for people who have OCD about organization.
7) MacOS is the most secure OS available.
Actually MacOS is only about as secure as Windows. (Which isn't much.) OpenBSD is the most secure general purpose operating system I know of, with only two remote holes in the default install in the last ten or so years.*
*There are more secure OSs out there but they tend to be:
A: Filly tuned for one job.
B: Aren't (And may never be.) desktop ready.

Anything you would like me to add/investigate?

Why not just use X like I do?
General | Posted 12 years agoTo be clear: We have no problem with you, this is just why WE don't use what you have.
So please don't kill us OK?
Windows:
-Unstable
I know any OS and crash and have kernel panics but Windows takes the cake.
-Insecure
I know most this is do to it being the most used OS, but even then, there is more than one way to make an OS and some ways will make it more secure than others. MS made a DOS like system and these have less security than *NIX systems. (MacOS being the exemption.)
-Cost of ownership
Windows uses more resources with every update then just about anything, therefor the user constantly have to get bigger and better systems.
MacOS:
-Weird UI
No really... Why is it that when I close all the windows the program still runs in the background.
-Bloated software
The Mac port of any given program tends to be twice as big as the Windows port... WTF Apple?
-Moral compass
Most of Apple's hardware is made by Foxconn. (Basically that place you think of when you imagine a Chinese sweatshop.)
-Cost
Just look at the price tag.
Have something to add? Post it blow.
Don't agree? I'd love to hear your side.

Why do you use X?
General | Posted 12 years agoOK, we all know people use Windows because it has all the programs and MacOS for the friendly UI, but have you ever wondered why some people use other OSs? Well let me tell you. But before we start: It's not that Linux is good for hacking, it's that Mac/Win are bad for hacking.
Linux is a UNIX like kernel made to be about as monolithic as anything can be. This makes it easy to port from one type of system to another and making drivers a snap. This comes at the cost the kernel needing more resources than other alternative OSs (But still much lower than Mac/Win.) but it makes up for this with dynamic linking. Meaning that if two or more programs need the same library to run that Linux will have them share it.
Why we like it: It makes all our programs light weight and can run on anything from X86 to System Z.
Why we don't like it: Other than Mac/Win Linux is the most resource hungry thing available.
Who uses it: Those who want the full power of their computer. Web browsing, tex editing, and gaming (LOL) at the same time on a Pentium 4? No problem... Well maybe not that good... But you get the point.
Unlike Linux BSD is actually based of the UNIX kernel, and to be clear: BSD doesn't look like Linux, Linux looks like BSD. Most defenses between the two are found in kernel space.
Why we like it: It's lighter and more secure than Linux.
Why we don't like it: Dynamic linking isn't quite as good and less drivers.
Who uses it: People who need their computer to keep running regardless of what they put it through.
BeOS and its open source reveille Haiku where built from the ground up to use synaptic multi prepossessing and well other OSs arsine parts of the CPU to improve multi tasking Haiku scales tasks to allow then to take full advantage of your CPU.
Why we like it: Wonderful 3D capabilities and better with 1-3 tasks than anything else.
Why we don't like it: Lesser multi tasking with higher amounts of programs when compared to other alternative OSs.
Who uses it: Artists... How is this not the master race on this site?
After UNIX was all but killed by Linux Bell Labs went on to make Plan 9. This odd ball of an OS can link computers together, this is meant mostly for true mainframes but could be used to make any lump of Plan 9 compatible comps in to a mainframe. The UI is a bit odd but that's the fun if you ask me.
Why we like it: Thanks to Google anyone with a Plan 9 box can have a supercomputer anytime they want even if your power may get bottle necked by your bandwidth if you have a bad ISP or network port.
Why we don't like it: Many important programs such as a modern wed browser are nowhere to be found in the Plan 9 repos at this time, lack of 64 bit support, and drivers.
Who uses it: Mainframe owners and hobbyists.
Dissatisfied with Apple's simplified *NIX operating system Google set out to make their own. Rather that simplify a full *NIX OS at the cost of power Google simply removed some of the more powerful parts of the OS knowing that few people use thing like fDisk and made heavy use of cloud computing. Made with the casual user in mind Chrome OS knows who it sets out to please and how to do it and it all come in a cute inexpensive box.
<3
Why we like it: Simple enough for grandma, fast as light, and cheep as H*ll.
Why we don't like it: Lack of advanced features make the OS unfriendly to power users and limited programs.
Who uses it: Casual users.
If you would like to see your OS please just tell me anything you feel I should know and I'll look into it.
