SoapCoin - For each Soap you drop you get a block treat Undecided

That's what? A JailCoin fork?  Grin

Again you take everything strictly...  Roll Eyes

"Passed trough your head"... and, man, that sounds like a hard to do task!

I wasn't comparing FPS's, I was stating that on high end hardware it will be always - or almost always - above the user's human capacities. So it doesn't matter if you use Win/Linux/Solaris/BSD/MacOS... it will flow smoothly enough. Unless you've some benchmarking numbers in the corner of the screen - means; if you're a freak gamer - you wouldn't be noticing any difference within that example, even if CS ran at 100 fps under OS X and at 200 fps at OS Y.

English isn't my native language and I don't quite give a fuck for your corrections as the message seamed to pass through anyway, it under performs on ALL flavors, you just won't be able to notice such on high end machines, unless you come up with tools to show you that CS is running at 100 fps here and 200 there, whereas your eyes can't see any difference above ~25 fps, so big deal to have 200 fps if for usability it's the same as 50 or 100.

OK, to give you more data, as I set 3 machines here, all to the same outcome on performance (SuSE was just set in the Sempron LE):

Atom D525 4 Gb DDR3 SO-DIMM - Ubuntu 11.04 64bits - Gnome desktop;
Zacate E350 4 Gb DDR3 DIMM - Ubuntu 11.04 64 bits - Gnome desktop  and KDE (Kubuntu)
Sempron LE-1250 4 Gb DDR2 DIMM - Ubuntu 11.04 64 bits - Gnome desktop

From the applications one can benchmark - existing for both Windows and Linux that is -, like VLC, Aptana or Libre/Open Office, Linux under performs hardly on all of them.

With an i5, i7... you probably won't notice differences because those machines have power to spare to out perform you on all levels and OS's. At low end where resources are ratiocinated you can easily see the low performance of Linux when compared to Windows.

Dude, you surely look like Star Trek's Spok.
Non-Linear Logics is the ability to think outside the box, get new perspectives and keep changing them, not to be expecting to be able to calc everything on the way, but adjust as data flows, goes better with Chaos when things don't need to be either strict or accountable to come to existence. Like it or not, happens a lot in this planet and your brain isn't a computer... it's meant to be much better.

I still think that either you gave a whole load of work for that i7 to chew, or you're simply and plainly lying. And still, the "variance" you try to imply would make sense if I would say "I can't out-type this Zacate with Win7, but I can easily out-type that P166 with Linux", but I stated using the very same hardware set.

"Thousands" is an expression, it doesn't represent actually 1000+ or even close. You've some issues with non-linear logic, don't you? Everything you came up with has to be under "some strict metering and accountable".

There's a normal confusion between experience and insistence. Some people just stop to use unsupported or know to nag features to insist to stick with one thing and will start to believe they've the best experience with that limited thing they're using.

For the bright side, I found Linux better than Windows... hummmm... in the price of the license. It's OK to server without X and that's it.

Now... out typing an i7, I would check what's going wrong with that thing. Low in memory?
1567  Other / Off-topic / Re: "Open-source is bad!" on: August 29, 2011, 10:05:54 PM
Most of my installs are from scratch unless I've a pre-built image of a computer, which is a rare thing... as I don't work on assembling computers but often come across repairing them.

Not confuse also "experience" with "insist until you get along"; humans, if insist times enough, are even able to eat shit.
For me the most undeniable fact of Linux poor performance is within typing, I can type many chars per second (not quite quantify them, but quite many as I use both hands and don't need to look to keyboard), yet at Linux, unlike at Windows in the very same hardware, I found myself waiting for what I typed to show in the screen.
1568  Other / Off-topic / Re: "Open-source is bad!" on: August 29, 2011, 07:55:16 PM
Both, either from installer or image, depends where and what I'm doing and why I need to do it.
EDIT: It's part of the job, I didn't mean I keep reinstalling my own machine.  Grin

Yeah right, compare coins to miss (messed) graphics... but hey, both Red Hat back then and Ubuntu nowadays worked in that same config SuSE proved to be a fail. Go figure...  Roll Eyes

But I give you some credit, at least you hadn't come up with the normal «Linux fan-boy» "suggestion" that I should buy "Linux compliant hardware".  Grin

Worth more? For the time NMC has been around it worth pretty much nothing. Value/Time around, not just "nominal value".

That's probably the most retarded way of measuring value I've ever heard of.

Is it? NMC is now over 6 month old and never managed to get anywhere above 0.03. SLC has 2 weeks and already passed it then retracted and eventually will pass it for good soon.
The "value" has a time frame.

IPvX is just an addressing protocol, doesn't add or diminish anything nor threats anything. IPv6 comes around because IPv4 range is depleted and more addresses are needed, nothing else.
The same "by country feature" exists in IPv4 as the public internet addresses are attributed to ISP's.

...and if it had.  What would be your conclusion.  That they would be equal?

Hardly, I make thousands of Windows installs per year and never happened.
SuSE scores 2 in 2 with 7 years in between - means 7 years and same shit - (when Linux I normally use Debian, this time decided to give oSuse a try... again)

Lately, as changing machines, I gave Linux a new try on desktop, just to come across the very same old nags

OpenSuSE: Screwed the graphics, installed nVIDIA's drivers got screwed for good.
So this never ever happens on Windows and single cases imply general cases?

Never happened to me on Windows, unless the graphical card was really screwed.
With SuSE/OpenSuSE it's the second time. First was with a laptop (unable to switch LVDS on) now in a desktop with totally out of sync graphics. It's not like giving 800x600 graphics, it's fail hard with bogus kernel modules.

The only desktop to stay with ubuntu is my daughter's due to gcompriz and my wife's because she just uses it to browse Facebook, a purpose Linux can suit.

NR: Please note, I'm stating DESKTOP, for SERVER I do prefer Linux or BSD.

OpenSuSE: Screwed the graphics, installed nVIDIA's drivers got screwed for good.

Ubuntu: had to compile the module from RaLink for the wireless to work and, most funny, had to edit the code before compiling.

Either way, the system was dead slow compared to Windows.

Sorry folks, Linux as desktop is just crap, use it if you've no other needs than "browse the web" and "read email", other than that forget about it.

@joepie91 ;

If Windows has "HKCU|HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" so does Linux have .bashrc on your home folder to start things at boot time. There's nothing "inherently more secure on Linux", other than nag its users and narrow their options, such as everything to be installed under /usr and umask 022. Security that nags people isn't security, it's a nag. It's like if you've a bodyguard looking over your shoulder every minute.
Microsoft came with a similar nagged "sudo" for Vista, and when you deactivate UAC you got a warning every second about it... finally they removed that dumbness of Windows 7.

I0C
Namecoin - not quite a fail for the service it's meant to provide, but other than that is a "single purpose coin" and shouldn't be taken into the account of an alternative currency.

How is Namecoin single purpose if it's able to do more stuff than any other coin yet? Pretty ridiculous to liken Solidcoin to silver instead of Namecoin, as it doesn't serve any purpose other than being a currency. Not to mention that NMC are worth more than SLC.


Worth more? For the time NMC has been around it worth pretty much nothing. Value/Time around, not just "nominal value".
And yes, it's a "just a currency" because that's what currencies are for; be "just a currency". You don't have a coin for groceries, other coin for clothing, other coins for coffee... etc. Have an attached sole purpose is what makes NMC NOT a currency, it's like a casino chip, just has some value inside that casino for the games it suits and that's all.

Being one of the first ones to speak out about the need for secondary chains, back when btc worth only about 3 USD, this was more than expected for me, except I wasn't thinking on have this popping up with a load of alt-chains at the same time.

Well, this is, IMO, how it looks so far:

AuBTC - Bitcoin
AgBTC - Solidcoin - like silver over gold, Solidcoin has technical and property advantages. Yet is cheaper.
CuBTC - Ixcoin - a cheap replacement for silver.

Failed:

I0C
Namecoin - not quite a fail for the service it's meant to provide, but other than that is a "single purpose coin" and shouldn't be taken into the account of an alternative currency.

Here's a list of potential coins:

NullCoin - Already being discussed

VoidCoin - Your coins just jump into the void

419Coin - Dear sir, I'm Ban Ki-Moon and just need your help to take 500,000,000 coins out of Nigeria. All you need is to pay a "not-that-small" transaction fee up ahead.

ScamCoin - You get 1,000,000 coins just by installing... but they will vanish a few blocks later.

PaypalCoin - 6 blocks after each transaction the coins return to the previous owner. You can also be blocked, banned or limited at random.

SpamCoin - Will email all your friends if you solve a block.

FacebookCoin - It will just keep posting at your wall what you're paying with them and how much you've.

GoxedCoin - Will be available tomorrow... or not.
1577  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: NullCoin - An alternative cryptocurrency. on: August 27, 2011, 02:03:56 PM
And how about VoidCoin?

But DON'T use abacus! That's unfair advantage for NullCoin, you should solve the blocks using your fingers only (no, not by sticking your fingers there, damn it! By using them to counting)  Grin

I second BombaUcigasa on SummerCoins, those coins would just be able to be used from June to September on North Hemisphere and December to March at Australia and New Zealand.
1578  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Compare coins on: August 27, 2011, 02:46:25 AM
Yes, but that's more "fast reading info" for speculators and traders, has not much interest for miners, other than check the current exchange values.
1579  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SLC passes NMC on: August 26, 2011, 02:06:30 PM
Free market let the guy call it what he wants. SLC or SC who gives a fuck.

Could not, even if I want, the 3 letter code is a standard for exchanges. I don't know where coinHunter came up with his 2 letter code idea, but would crash most of forex programs made to split currency pairs (EURUSD, AUDCAD, GBPYEN.... etc), if solidcoin ever make that far.
1580  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SLC passes NMC on: August 26, 2011, 01:33:22 PM
This is nuts..

I would say it's its initial bubble. Will blast soon to middle or so.
