I was an OS X user for 8 years from 2005 to 2013. Why did I stop? I had an epiphany that the OS sucked ass because in the final years of using it I had various problems with the post 10.5 releases, the new x86 Macs are garbage in terms of quality ( they fucking glue batteries in the laptops! ) have higher failure rates, the OS has become more iOSified and the Aqua interface is like drinking a Shirley Temple: looks nice, works fine, but has virtually no refined functionality. I personally like CDE, Magic Desktop and other old school UNIX desktop environments because they are mature, functional and coherent. I also like E16 and i3wm, but you sacrifice amenities with those and become a Luddite.

Also on OS X it is a clusterfuck of garbage design, launchd, Mach, Aqua, and it can't even decide if its GNU, BSD or Darwin, come the fuck on did the engineers spend half their budget on blow or something?

I'm forking FreeBSD if it gets anymore of Apple's overengineered crap. Clang was fine, but launchd and many other Apple subsystems and components proposed by Jordan Hubbard and his Apple cronies are not. I think they're still bitching because OS X is a terrible server OS which is why Apple stopped their rackmount lines. Go find some other OS to ruin.

What serious software are you working with on OS X that doesn't run on BSD, UNIX or Linux? They both have Firefox, Chromium, Thunderbird, LibreOffice, so that covers most office needs of browser, email, calendar, office suite etc. IDEs? Well IDEs are a joke, if the BSD projects don't need an IDE for their code, then I don't know what necessitates an IDE.

As far as other applications go there is not as much variety on BSD, UNIX and Linux vs OS X or Windows but there is in 90% of cases an application that does the job to some degree. Linux I can understand not wanting to use, but BSD or Solaris or its free derivatives is pretty good for a workstation OS.

Lenovo, the company I use for laptops and desktops does have the problem with spyware, but even the Windows users I know reimage their devices, only morons use a Windows OEM install. Since I'm using BSD or Solaris on the systems their spyware has no bearing on me, the user, and their hardware refurbs are good and new and usually competitive in pricing especially compared to the non-expandable rubbish bin Mac Pro, or the Macbook Pro with a glued in battery.

chicaneuk wrote: I think the fact you can get actual Microsoft Office for the Mac makes it very popular. Hobbyists such as us can bang on about freeware alternatives such as Thunderbird, LibreOffice and so forth but with the way Microsoft are going integrating the suite with things such as Office 365 (which has email, SharePoint like portals, team document sharing / productivity) it puts LibreOffice and the ilk in a difficult position and really does leave them quite a ways behind.

Besides, I don't personally consider it 100% compatible either with Microsoft Word / Excel, etc type documents. I don't blame that on the LibreOffice developers necessarily and I'm sure there's quite a lot of effort in Redmond to make their products NOT play completely nicely with open source alternatives, but taking a moral stand on the evils of closed source software to explain why you corrupted some collaboratively worked on documents or your reports don't render correctly, probably isn't going to wash.

Ultimately though it depends on your environment, what sort of productivity applications you actually need to use. In our place people are reasonably free to use what they like. The web development team & networks guys all use Linux, most other people use Windows, and there's steady growth in Macs (myself included).

Of course Open Office and Libre Office are not 100% compatible with MS Office/365, but they're generally good enough for most use cases, and I worked in a corporate environment ( Dell ) and I used Libre Office with ZERO issues. Granted I wasnt doing any Power Points (which are overused as is) The few times I was sent files that broke, I had the people send me a PDF with little to no complaints - they were fully aware as a part of the RMA system that it was impractical for us to use Windows ( I used RHEL 5, and later, Solaris 11 successfully ) Also Office 365 has a web component as does Google Docs, and between those two I can make use of what I need.

Apple is worse than Windows, and I say this because I've worked with Windows Server and I would rather support that, Exchange, IIS and everything else than have to support OS X.

From what I see the audio tool situation is best on Windows, when I produce with Vocaloids I will be using a Windows machine for that, and an Octane as the mixer/mastering system and such. OS X lacks FL Studio, and many other DAWs so the first point is null. The second point is a valid one however, but I find their new subscription model ridiculous as it stands, so not even going to bother.

I'm a little curious why someone would want to run Linux on an SGI when between IRIX, OpenBSD and NetBSD its pretty much got the full array covered. And now, I'm not judging those that want to, just gotta say, seems like there are easier MIPS systems to run Linux on, especially with the way the better systems are documented ( read, not at all )

I don't think RMS has any significance now or 30 years back. He just took Karl Marx's ideology and applied it to the software realm. Before you cry out about Linux or GNU, he is just a figurehead for GNU, and Linux is the primary creation of Torvalds, of course.

Had he not invented GNU, and thus GCC, bash etc wouldn't exist, then we would be using BSD instead of Linux for our main free Unix-like OS, something I have zero issues with. We would have another open source cc instead, probably something based on the old BSD toolchain. The fact is that he is a zealot who sticks so closely to his ideals that he would rather use a crippled software that is inferior and under GPL ( IE, screen ) vs a superior BSD licensed software such as TMUX

Fits a $250 budget

Has an ergonomic place to put my KB... Current desk doesn't have a keyboard deck.

Why do you think I am happy that I am unable to have kids by virtue of genetics? That way if my woman were to get pregnant I know that she was cheating, and a little something called "child support" can never be thrust upon me.

But seriously, fuck having kids. My computers are my adopted children, and I have several terabytes of doujins and hentai just waiting to be read.

I spend some time working on firefox3.5 but I still have no idea whats going wrong.

Wish I could help, but I'm not interested in C++. Maybe ClassicHasClass could shed some light when he catches up on TenFourFox.

Found a wood/particleboard desk on Craigslist for $150. It is 400lbs fully assembled. It is turning out to be a very nice desk. Unfortunately my new place has carpet

since the other place I was gonna get fell through. At least this one house was built in 1910 and has some neatness to it.

while at the lower border the 2.6.17-rc4 is pretty working with a few issues about XIO_PCI and IOC3
2.6.18 is … untested, and personally i have never tested anything in the the 3.* line

about 3.14, what about the SMP ? is it really working ? what about the XIO_PCI ?

any detailed description about what you have tested, what is working, and what is not ?
i have filled an ewiki page with a precise description about everything i am doing on 2.6.17

actually i have no time and no working hardware to do tests.
i am waiting for a new IP30 has my machine is unfortunately dead.

I've been following your conversations here and on Gentoo's various lists - why are you so hung up on 2.6.17 IveLegacy? Kumba is working hard on the newer kernels getting them working - he has a seriously good point that anything 2.6.x is ancient and not worth messing with.

In any case if I was in Italy I am going to be selling an Octane2 for a friend in a few months - it would be a perfect replacement for you, but alas, its too far to ship the system to the EU and still arrive with your finances intact.

I actually found the email CEO of the new SGI/Rackable Systems: ##removed##

Maybe the right person can light a fire under his arse, preferably a customer with an active contract, to do SOMETHING, like I dunno, offer a hobbyist license program for IRIX in the vein of the VMS one, or something.
