Well, actually Jopuma got the things wrong:

Apple would definetly be for GUI and security (OSX is based on BSD and BSD systems are the most secure of them all - see http://www.openbsd.net/ - Only two remote holes in the default install, in more than 10 years!). OSX's gui was proven to be the best (there are actual benchmarks available: http://pfeifferreport.com/trends/trend_vistauif.html ).
For stability, it would be a tie there pretty much especially since winXP has become pretty stable.
As for eye candy - beleive it or not, but even Vista is far behind OSX and linux running beryl. I really suggest you download some linux live cd that has beryl included. It works awesome even on low end graphics cards!
Hardware compatibility is still Microsoft's domain. How many devices don't work on XP?

How about Miliplesoft?

That doesn't incorporate all three OS providers, Linux, Apple, and Microsoft.

Your suggestion is just gay and besides I was making a joke about the names. Hence the ":lol: " after "Linplesoft" which is Lin(ux)(Ap)ple(Micro)soft.

Can't you take a joke?

And Miliplesoft does have all names: Mi(crosoft)Li(nux)(Ap)ple(Micro)soft

Hey guys, and girls if there are any here.

Anyway, it's good to be back.

Hmm couldn't tell considering I've never used your computer.

Btw, Yael is a staff member as well.

Congrats to Yael and Pabl0z on their way to NFSUnlimited staff stardom.

Just me though.. =]

I agree, 8g for a PC sounds like a waste of money, if he's telling the truth he needs to get out a bit more, cuz 8g can get you a lot more than some POS computer

Hey guys, solve this problem and get $1,000,000,000 for it.

x2 + 1 = 0

(note: that the x2 means x squared)
(hint: the x can be replaced with any number in the numerical system whether in the negatives or positives.)

Good luck.

Post by **Bojan** » 30 Mar 2007, 20:09

x = i^2

Will you send me a check?

A complex number should meet the requirements of your 'numerical system'...
