Wintards, UNITE! (In The Dumpster)

Posted by Mop On June - 26 - 2008

Before we start, groupies, BE GONE. If you reply to this and post absolute trash, nothing constructive, I will ban your IP and send your sorry ass to meatspin or some other nasty site every time you look at any page I have semi or complete control over. Be constructive. Don’t complain.

Ok, so as some of you know, I am an enthusiastic mac user. Why? It’s better. YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH, windows is terrible.

It Is Slow, And The Windows Task Manager Lies & Fails.
You have obviously been lied too. Ever look at the task manager and seen 99% cpu free? COMPLETE LIE. That is IMPOSSIBLE, it’s never doing nothing. I’ve seen windows repeatedly limit the speed of processes, which is annoying and plain STUPID. If the CPU is 50% inactive, WHY NOT USE IT? Ever had a really frozen program? “END TASK” or “END PROCESS” never kills it and you will have to pull the stupid plug, and watch windows drop 3 nuts next time you boot it.

How does Unix & Linux compare to this?
*Nix is a straight up real gangster, keepin’ it real since 1969. Type yourself top to see your unix version of the task manager. You can even add -u to order by usage, -U <user> for a specific user’s processes, or -s <time> for update time. Right across the top you’ve got how many processes and threads, none of this splitting it all over the place bullshit. Next, load averages and percentages which actually tell you how bad you’re tanking, library files, and ram usage. Below there you’ve got the list of actual processes, and if you want, the actual command used to run them. How to kill them? KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF THAT MOUSE, it’s so simple you don’t even need that. kill <processid> or killall <processname> blows them out of the water in not even a second. And get this - IT ALWAYS WORKS.

Security Center Wastes Your Money, And You Know It
The Security Center Sucks, And You Know ItThis is a familiar scene to everyone - you just turned on your Personal Sanity Remover running windows XP, and that f*cking word bubble that everybody dreads pops up 2 inches from your face and demands you install a billion updates that Bill Gates forcibly shitted into your hands through a tube. So you click the motherf*cker and, oh lord, now instead of the security center its suddenly the update center which really has nothing to do with security whatsoever. It just sets up more stuff for malware to tear right down. So now you just bought your brand new 2 million PC which Microsoft says has “Tons of improvements” and now you have to go spend ANOTHER arm and a leg to protect the damn thing from other PC assholes that think its funny to break other people’s PCs (Which it is).

RUNDLL32 Says: You're Fucked!RUNDLL Sucks, And So Does Your Face
How come every time you boot up the damn computer that you paid 3 body parts for, it tells you that BILL GATES FORGOT TO GIVE YOU A PART OF IT that the damn thing needs to run! Which, is BULL. Now, back to your good friend, Unix! They simply don’t forget anything! It’s easy as that! If you need something, you pretty much apt-get <it’s name> And BAM! You got it!

Shiternet Explorer Can’t Explore It’s Way Out Of An Ass KickingInternet Explorer
This is the final abomination that I have time to rant about. Microsoft must have some nerve to put this piece of shit on their computers. Why? Windows is an INSECURE OPERATING SYSTEM. Why the f*ck where they thinking, putting this INSECURE BROWSER ON IT FOR CHRIST’S SAKE!?! NOW THEY’RE ASKING FOR TROUBLE! Thats not even the half of it! Their design plan for this piece of crap was literally, “Web Standards? What’s that?!” Here’s a perfect example - These are pictures of Microsoft’s home page displayed, Properly In Safari, and Like Shit In Their Own Damn Browser! Are you kidding me? Your own browser can’t go on ITS OWN SITE? Rediculous. 

 

The Final Word
Go open source, it’s so much better. Don’t complain about not being able to fix something, spend some time to learn some C++ and improve it yourself. Linux is obviously the best choice, next to Mac.

Alight, I’m done ranting. Post it up and keep it real, all.

End Of Classes / Trip

Posted by Mop On June - 14 - 2008

Alright! My last day of high school was last friday! Well, day of classes that is. Still got 2 weeks of review classes and a Physics state test ahead of me. 

 

Well anyways, on that last day, the students from AP Biology and Environmental go on a  trip to the Biodome in Montreal, and the insectarium.  I took a LOT of pictures, but here are some choice ones. Click for hi-res.

Cats.

Posted by Mop On June - 6 - 2008

So today is the end of the last week of real classes in my school, and in AP Biology, we spent most of this week dissecting CATS. YES, CATS! They had been sitting in un-refrigerated boxes in the back of the room for half the year, so, oh yes, they were RIPE. (As in stinky, you idiots).

 

Inside, the are surprisingly similar to pigs and humans, the only difference between them and humans is the liver structure, and the ribs. The ribs were surprisingly weak, I actually accidently went through all of them with a scalpel. 

** A word to the animal rights people out there: These cats were from a legit company, they were stray cats who where dying of painful diseases, and they were euthanized. No pain.

 

This link is to a photo gallery that a teacher put photos from the dissection in. If he’s added more and they are no longer on that page, look through until you see “Cat Lab”. I managed to dodge the camera, so you stalkers will just have to wait. ;-)
