Comparison of Famous OS's
Sasha Kovaliov(.com), Jon Price, (jeff)isageek and 58 other people liked this
Everyone agree?
- Merry Xmas FFeeders - AJ
No. OS X is not useless.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
FreeBSD is far more reliable than Linux. And OS X runs FreeBSD under the covers, albeit with a different kernel. So it's a cute, but rather meaningless, cartoon.
- Mistletoe Glen
BeOS!! *hides*
- Mo Kargas
Cute but definitely disagree w/ the OS X caption, anything but useless.
- Nicholas Kreidberg
FreeBSD is far from ''meek''. but does go unnoticed.
- Carlos Ayala
And Windows crashing is so Windows 95...
- Jemm
No offence but Linux is cuter than OS X(atleast in this one)
- Yuvi
Also, +1 Jemm. The only time I've had Vista crash on me was when my Sound Card went kaput
- Yuvi
It doesn't have to be flashy as long as it works, and that's why I use Linux.
- ::Kristen::
Really? I've had Vista crash on me more times then I can count. That is why I ended up downgrading to XP on the PC.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
I disagree about the comments, well except for windows (but it's tradition to rag on windows), but still laughed. :)
- Grant Bierman
Where is OpenBSD?!?!
- imabonehead
linux boring? how boring is a $300 box that does pretty much everything a pc or mac, without crashing or locking up? i'm livin it!
- ernie yacub
o ya, faster too.
- ernie yacub
@ernie: but it has no apps and not even 1% market share ;)
- Jemm
Because clearly market share has an effect on your ability to use the OS. And it has plenty of apps. The place I'm feeling the app hurt is Windows more than linux. I agree with none of these other than the OS X one. Has to be one of the more useless OSes I've ever come across, compared to price and availability
- Daniel Bruce
Mac's missing!!
- Sameer Panchangam
I think Linux is fun. Windows is just frustrating.
- Peter
:) Funny but OS X not useless
- Fatih Taşkıran
most of my consternation with windows is with shoddy 3rd party applications. Windows itself rarely causes me a problem. People need to learn the difference between shitty apps crashign and windows itself being the root of a problem. Learn where the fault is then lay the blame :P
- alphaxion
Can't we just agree that different systems suit different people or contexts? For me, Mac OS X is ideal(and far from useless), but I work with a lot of devs who would rather use Linux or another Unix derivative, and we have some who use Windows.
- Sam
oh I have no problems with other people using other OS'es (I prefer RISC OS myself), I just object to people laying blame without knowing where the blame should be.
- alphaxion
Totally agreed
- Mirco
As someone who's seen the original anime, it's a great comparison to the characters. OSes can't seriously be summed up in 3-5 words each, but this is all in good fun.
- Brent Newhall
@alphaxion But that would cause some actual critical thinking on some people's part and that's really just too much to ask.
- Jason Shultz
from twhirl
go strawberry marsmallow! also true, true, true and true.
- karchesky
where is the Commodore Amiga?
- Noah David Simon
I'm using Ubuntu as my main workstation at work for more than 3 years. Does that sound boring and/or useless?
- imabonehead
I would actually switch the descriptions for Windows and Linux. For the record, I'm on a Mac but have used Linux as primary desktop for 3 years (2004-2007)
- Saket Vaidya
If I could get Coda to work on Ubuntu, I'd use linux more often.

Detectives cried after finding Shannon -
Crime, UK - The Independent - http://www.independent.co.uk/news...
Melissa, Mitch Wagner, Kol Tregaskes and 13 other people liked this
"Two burly detectives with nearly 60 years' experience between them broke down in tears on finding Shannon Matthews. Detective Constables Paul Kettlewell and Nick Townsend described the emotion of recovering the missing child from Michael Donovan's flat after she had been missing for 24 days. The two policemen, with many of their colleagues in the West Yorkshire force, had thought Shannon was dead. So they could hardly believe the little girl was now sitting in the back seat of their police car. Looking at each other, they shook hands and cried "tears of joy" at the unbelievable recovery of the nine-year-old."

Retired subway cars make perfect studios for London artists - http://dvice.com/archive...
Jauder Ho, Anna Haro, A.T. and 18 other people liked this
"Young London artists looking for cheap studio space in an expensive city are turning their eyes toward subway cars — though those eyes would be looking up, not down. That's because these retired subway cars are actually on top of a warehouse-turned-art-gallery in Shoreditch, London, where they offer a sparse, multi-purpose space for artists who pay an oh-so-cheap $30 a month. Auro Foxcroft, the mind behind Village Underground, even got a sweet deal on the cars: £800 for four of them. It's a novel idea, and one that breathes new life into what's essentially junk. Foxcroft plans to expand his Village Underground to other cities, including Berlin, Lisbon and Toronto."

Now that is Art
- Shevonne
perhaps not as charitable as the retired trains used for homeless people in china, but it's a good idea nonetheless.
- Cee Bee
I didn't know China was doing that. I think it's great how people are using things that usually are just left there to rot
- Shevonne
That's great. Here in LA, there's a ton of retired cars that people have expressed interest in buying to turn into restaurants or housing. The city has found every single reason not to generate the revenue for that, instead opting to sell random cars to rich people in far places.

- Brent Newhall

- Shevonne
the idea of using retired trains as facility for homeless or cheap studio space for artists is certainly thinking outside the box.

Hello Everyone, it's great that you want this feature! It's coming up in the next weeks. Thanks for the amazing feedback.

There's something very important I forgot to tell you. Don't cross the streams. It would be bad. Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light. Total protonic reversal.
- Ken Sheppardson
Actually, it looks like you can mix it up. There's a MIX button that allows you to choose which services you want to mix in. Still kinda sketchy, but it's a foot in the door.
- Cliff Gerrish
Cliff, you're ahead of us! You got it, that's exactly what I was talking about.
- SHHHE
Nice, so let's work in some de-duping-- oh and track. And then you'll be running along side FF. And that level of competition is a real good thing.
- Cliff Gerrish
Cliff, you're very kind. De-duping is in the radar, we are working on it.
- SHHHE
Cliff, you can track. Create a stack, Eg: Twitter/Everyone, search for a keyword in it and let the stream play.
- SHHHE
I don't really want to cross the streams.
- MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
MiniMage, the mixed stream is just one of the options, you can use the separate streams, if you like them better.
- SHHHE
Excellent, I was hoping it would be optional! Thanks.

I've just started using it, and it's quite amazing. i think it's found most of my other accounts, I'm just having a little trouble with one. Somw of the twiitter feature are really interesting. What is meant by mixing the streams?
