dholm,

Im not taking threads of topic, I clearly want to reject that statement.

It was not me who started talking about possible bugs in browsers.

I tried to explain why I choosed to use pre instead of code in the first place. Because when I did try in different browsers, I found this to look most identical in various browsers. However that was a while back, so it might have changed. I also changed to code when you asked for it. Not the first time, but the second time, and You changed the first post yourself. No problem for me, Im happy people are satisfied with how it behaves and look.

So forward I will try to remember to use bbcode and code if pasting similar texts or such.

Yes, end of discussion. Smile

kozz,

Great, You are the master !

I checked, and text is left-held now, as in other browsers I also have checked.

Another important factor in MorphOS is the lack of memory protection. By not having memory protection you gain huge benefits in context switches and you do not need to invalidate the translation lookaside buffers. On the other hand, MorphOS wouldn't survive a day as a mainstream OS without memory protection. Que viruses, worms and friends.


That isn't an important factor as far as an OS is concerned. If an OS is supposed to cater for morons who don't know what they are doing with their own computer (ie: if they require it to be secure and let it be insecure) then they deserve it. As a computer user/owner/programmer I want my computer to do what I want, if I want to poke around the memory or crash it, so be it. Same with software I run, if I wanted to I could choose to buy all software from specific vendors which might give me a false security in knowing that they will not crash my computer or do anything I don't want them to do. In the end, the OS is there to help the USER do what THEY want to do. If you took M$ Windoze as an example, if M$ really wanted to make it better, they would get rid of all the crap memory protection etc and just fix their networking so that just the networking is secure. People who want to use a web browser in a trusting way can run it in a sandbox. Security or memory protection on my OWN computer is just a pain with zero returns.

How the fsck can someone say that MacOS X is only 'Good' when it comes
to ease of use. There is no easier OS in the whole world than MacOS X.

Windows is years behind OS X when it comes to ease of use.


Yet I still cannot just copy my operating system from one partition to another easily.

For most people the computer is just a tool, I would not trust a user to always do the right thing and run the "right" programs on it. Didn't you know that the goal of an OS is to protect the computer from the user Wink

yeah right Wink the OS is there to make the user's job using their computer easier whether 'using' means poking around in memory or running a spreadsheet. I definately don't want protection from myself on 'my own computer'.

Yes. AmigaOS was allways about getting close to the system. And I think thats part of what made it fun to use.
And also, I dont think MOS/AOS will ever be the avarage user´s system of choice. It will remain with people who knows what they´re doing and have a great interest in OS´s in general. There will allways be a greater % of the users who will code for such OS´s than f.ex windows and MacOS.
That makes the users more alike on MOS/AOS and therefore such a close community! I do think linux has a bit of that also but not comparable nowdays.

as it is, it never has a possiblity to be anything else than a play ground, but even with important improvements MOS/AOS/AOS4 will still lack hardware drivers, software and games to have to be anything else than somethign people use of sentimental reasons.

For me, no sentimental reasons but because its:
very customizable system and yet easy to use,
boots much faster than f.ex linux,
looks much better on the screen,
more responsive,
close community,
it makes me different,
it has separate screens,
its somewhat a more colorful experience than linux.

I use WinXP mostly because there I can do my job whatever it is, I also have Fedora core installed but rarely uses it because it gives me about the same feeling as XP but does´nt have some few apps I need (XP also boots up much faster). And since I lack interest in such big OSs I prefer XP and would rather have MOS/AOS4 or maybe even Zeta to play around with for fun.

Actually it doesn't boot faster than Linux. We proved that with the CrabFire iso as it booted in about 10s from power up compared to MOS which boots in like 12-15 seconds?

I read somewhere that MOS booted to full desktop in 5 seconds from firmware! Is that bull?
