Sorry bout that mate.

As you can so abundantly see, I am a newbie to your forums here.  Im rather vocal about fallacies when it comes to hardware and software, though, and like to help also, so I couldnt help but jump in.  

I apologize for being redundant.  But reinforcement never hurt....yeaaaaah, thats it.

Is that really the code for win95? It seems a little compact, i expected winows to take up a lot more space than that!)
Reply by VoidMain:
Are you serious?  I *thought* that even non-programmers could read that and find humor in it but I guess I was wrong.  It's structured in the format of a C program but if you actually read it I think you will see that it fits most of our gripes about M$ (well at least all of the gripes that have been with us since around 1995-96 timeframe when this was written).


Sorry, Sorry, Sorry!
We really need a sarcasm tag!  ;)
I thought your win95 source code was hilarious and very apt, but i just moved on ito sarcassm mode without even thinking about it! i do that all the time!   :D

I'm sure I saw it in PCPlus about 2yrs ago but there was a gentleman in UK who removed browser from Wimpdoze without any ill-effex (except waste of his life for several weeks).
I don't understand this 'source code' thing - surely the win op system is on your pc so you have all the info there which you can take to bits/ play with/modify ? And, another thing - I now have Mandrake 8.1 cd which I'm going to install on 'D'. I know little (read sfa) about linux but will use f8 (to command prompt) to boot linux instead of Whingedos and will use mozilla?? for browser after I understand system but can I use Word, Excel etc. through Linux or what alternatives are there? Win3.1 worked, never crashed (ever - in 2yrs!)(after I 'played' with it) but at the moment I'm stuck with '98 (fil's pc)and I've already re-booted 3 times by booting pc (literally) this week. Where do I find info on Mandrake / Linux (everything from how it works to 'source code') 'cos pc is set up & works (except when it crashes) but I reeeeeeeeely want an alt. OS. Any help would be appreciated. I want to know how to 'program', alter, understand Linux.
Thanks,

Well, you can start by going to http://www.mandrake.com and reading everything you can get your hands on, they should have plenty of links to other sites like the Mandrake forum....

First of all, check out this article.

 
quote:
Judge Colleen Kollar-Kottely has followed up her interesting decision that Microsoft should allow Windows source code to be independently reviewed by appointing someone characterised by Microsoft as a professional anti-Microsoft expert witness to review it. Which is possibly even more interesting.

She has however denied the States' request for a court-appointed expert.


Now can somebody please tell me what good this does? Microsoft more or less gets to choose who they want to review their source code.  And I was just starting to get my hopes up about this entire ordeal . . .   :mad:

Hell, M$ will pay them all off anyway.  It's all just "smoke and mirrors".  I'm sure the "anti-Microsoft code looker" is being payed, judge whatshername is being paid..  I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Yes, that one was a good one too!  But I think we have the code wrong.  To be accurate the win98 source should be "win98.vbs", win95 source should be "win95.vb" and win3.xx source should be "win3xx.bas" (gw-basic on the latter).

I think www.vcnet.com has a piece on it somewhere about two students who stripped IE from Whingedope with no ill effex but I can't find it again.
& I'm struggling with install of mandrake still (I think the 'mount' command got me confused or excited.....  ;)

what's all the panic? i used IEradicator to remove iexplore from my WinME install and if anything, it's MORE stable than it was before!

The only problem with IEradicator (from '98lite' in case you're looking for it) is that it only removes 99% of the "internet desktop integration" bullshit in order that Outlook will still run. Well since i don't have outlook either, i wish it had removed the extra 1% as well! oh well...

Forward the apocalypse!
