apparently, when you configure a windows software raid, it works… not convenient…
in linux rebuilds use limited i/o, it’s configurable, let’s say, %10, and users still can use the array while it’s rebuilding, while in case of windows, the i/o value is %99, and it seems impossible to find a way to change it. and mouse movements are interrupting. (:

this windows console - cmd, if there are spaces in the path you type, puts the path in to the quotes. that’s smart.
however, when you press tab, it does not suggest, but autocompletes the line with the first possible option.
and after that, it moves the cursor to the end of the line, outside of quotes, and you have to come left yourself. which isn’t that smart. (:

this was back ~10 years ago, at the Microsoft event, where they were basically stating that years of freebie passed, and we have to buy officially licensed Windows copies. As an answer to those, who were whining that Armenia is a poor country, and may it be they can sell licenses cheaper, a guy from M$ answered:
— you buy cars, right? why do you agree to pay for cars, but not for software.
Then there was a voice from auditory.
— can you sell us second hand copies of 15 years old windows installers?

My father has almost no computer literacy. He used to Debian at home. He only uses graphics, no command line, obviously. Recently he eventually bought himself a notebook. It had Windows preinstalled. Surprise, surprise! He was unable to use it. Asked me to come to install Debian, so that he can use familiar environment. Also, he uses MATE, because that’s what he used to since GNOME 2. Which means, the switch is painful. If someone is used to GNU/Linux GUI first, switch to Windows is not less painful for him, than vice versa. That’s not a matter of usability. That’s a matter of habit.
Same story with my mother. I don’t think she can ever work with Windows.

apparently, it is possible to copy file in one remote windows terminal (rdp) and paste it to other. amazing.

I know these three guys, who are making that game. One programmer, Bagrat Dabaghian, who have been written also a rendering engine which is used in the game(codes 16 hours per day), one artist(don’t know him well actually) and one composer - Serge (nice one, always liked his works).

The Full Story of #Nokia and #Microsoft - How we got here, and why Microsoft will fail with Nokia handsets just like it did with Kin http://communities-dominate.blogs.com/brands/2013/09/the-full-story-of-nokia-and-microsoft-how-we-got-here-and-why-microsoft-will-fail-with-nokia-handset.html
Ok the news is out. I told you literally two years ago, that the Windows Phone strategy would be the death of Nokia’s handset business, and today we have the final nail in that coffin. I honestly, truly with my hand on my heart, hoped this day would never come, and that my prediction would be seen as wrong. But unfortunately I was correct (once again). I do tend to know this industry. And I was the first to tell you, on this blog, that Nokia’s handset business just died. I told you when it happend, and more importantly, I told you why it died. It didn’t die with the crazy Burning Platforms memo, nor with the announcement of Microsoft Windows Phone either. So this is my (first) full epitaph to Nokia. And we have to have a bit of history. (Long blog warning - this runs 12,000 words, so get yourself a cup of coffee, this will take about half an hour

Any sane CEO would look at the disasterous Windows Phone failure in the market - come on, before this alliance, Windows has 5% market share in smartphones, now ‘with Nokia’ it has 3%. This after Nokia has sacrificed 31% of its smartphone market share on Symbian and Maemo/MeeGo

i think we have the right to know, if we choose, exactly what the technology is doing and how
so closed systems like windows and mac, i feel they abuse my rights and insult my intelligence
i give many thanks to the creators of open source operating systems and applications, without them i may not even be aware that i have rights :)

I don’t like when the word #folder is used. As far as I remember we had no #folders before #microsoft #windows. We had #directory structure and #directories.
Why do we keep calling directories folders?
Also, I feel that it does not make deep sense even for a native #english speaker. Why folder? I can understand #file and #directory of files. #terminology
