    v60 is exactly what the name implies, an engine with 60 cylinders, which sounds as much as a waste of gas as coffee is a waste of cash.

    Apple devices turn off when someone with a fedora is trying to use them.

    Thick framed glasses would have been a better apparel choice than fedora. I was going to say that fedoras would be more along the line of linux users, but then I remembered that Ubuntu isn't a true linux in my books.

    Speaking of Linux, I tried to install Ubuntu again the other day and I realised why I and more than half the world are still on Windows. Insallation process is a hassle, lack of software, OpenGL is a piece of shit, etc.

    The fact that nobody seems to give it much credit doesnt make it shit.

    Look at java, its being used fucking everywhere, yet all i hear about it is how much of a cock it sucks.

    Ive actually found out the other day that witha usb linux, i can actually acces my windows partition files no problem. Being upset about the action of plugging a stick invalides having a fucking password on the computer aside, i find some potential in using it sparsely for using scripts to sort shit out.

    As for the software, its a mixed bag for me. On one hand you have lots of programs, but on the other, finding shit to suit your needs is fucking impossible. Thats just finding a program mind you, finding out if its any good is an excercise in futility. Im yet to find 2 nux guys to agree on something. Also, some programs run by you typing their name into the console, others need to have a fucking nanny and you absolutely need to have a full path. Its just like naming conventions in modenr biology, no fucking rules whatsoever.
    Call me a casual, but i fucking hate not being able to use spaces in filenames in linux. typing underscores is a chore unlike any other. Its one thing i'd like them to copy from windows. I just don't see a downside.

    Im in no way a security expert, but I'll ltell you that it's most definately not common knowledge.

    If you're saying I should use actual encryption if i want to have any degree of safety, maybe, though i'd like to see some usual means being harder to break than that. What i did was below fucking script kiddie shit. Also, i dont really feel like i need that anyway. Whats gonna happen? I keep all my shit backed up anyway and unless I'll visit GB or australia, no one would pay attention even to my porn folder. Like anyone would care to scrutinise 65k files. Have fun.

    I really wish it wasn't. On top of this, I've had more problems with OpenGL compared to any other API.

    I'd jump to Linux in a heartbeat if it covered all the software / games I use and if it was more user friendly compared to Windows.

    As for Java, it breaks all the time, is full of security vulnerabilities, needs to update very fucking day and for some reason eats through a fuck tonne of RAM in certain programs.

    Passwords don't provide encryption, they provide authentication. Major difference between them; if they were actual encryption keys then they'd take fucking forever to type out and would make your computer run slow as shit.

    There's a program that you can install on a USB drive that allows you to just straight-up unlock and wipe the password on any Windows account. I use it all the time for fixing people's shit when they forget their password.

    Actually, there are proper rules. When you type a command into the prompt, it searches every location in the PATH variable for the file with that exact name. If your path contains ".\", then you can access a program by typing its name directly while being in the same directory as that program. If it doesn't, then you need to explicitly state ".\[NAME]" to run it.

    There's actually a very good reason for it. Because the command line uses spaces as a delimiter, if you type a filename with spaces, then it'll only read the first word in the filename as the entire filename and the rest will be seen as more arguments. If I type "nano foo bar", it can't tell if "foo bar" is supposed to be one filename or a filename followed by an argument or an argument followed by a filename; it'll just read it as two separate arguments. Generally, this'll just cause the program the spew out some error, but if you're unlucky, you can seriously fuck things over. Deleting files by accident isn't uncommon because people use spaces in the filename. Really though, you can use almost anything you want as a delimiter. Some.people.use.dots, some-people-use-dashes, some_people_use_underscores, SomePeopleCapitalizeTheFirstLetterOfEveryWord, although that last one isn't recommended because Linux is case sensitive.

    Though, if you absolutely have to use spaces, you can escape them with "\" or just wrap the entire name in "double quotes".
