cmd.exe is the only RUN command you need.

So far its impossible to run OSX on a PC. And I think its better to simply install one main OS, The one you're gonna be using the most often and then install each OS on top of that virtually, using something like Virtual PC 2007. If you have a decent PC, it'll run smoothly. However if you plan on running games on both Vista and XP, I'd suggest installing them separate on different partitions.

Ubuntu Or Kubuntu What is the difference
zachwyler replied to srujanlive's topic in Operating Systems
Ubuntu, is the main Linux OS distro, Kubuntu is its variation using KDE for the desktop. Its pretty much the same thing. What I don't understand is why The Ubuntu people can't allow people to simply select between Gnome and KDE, at installation, it would save a lot of confusion. -
Google left the invites in place, so you can invite people who dont use Gmail yet. They think it'll be more easier than simply telling your friends about it.

Google improved Froogle, and now they call it Google Shopping Search (or something like that).
-
use something like box.net or another official free file storage system. Or wait for Microsoft's Live Drive, or Google's own storage facility. Using this utility is against Google's TOS

Google Desktop is a very crappy piece of software, use Copernic for Search and KlipFolio for the sidebar.

Area 51 isn't viewable from satellite, they have sophiscated technology that gives of a hologram of sorts, that satellites capture, and thats what you see from Google Eart. Indeed Area 51 isn't some place where aliens are held captive, rather it is a millitary research area, and although you maynot believe me, the technologies that they are working with wont become public until at least another two to three hundred (thats right HUNDRED) years.

Genocide means, to kill all people of a certain race/religion,etc. So if you kill all the Jews in the world in would be a genocide. On a smaller scale if you kill all the Jews in America, but not in the whole world, it will also count as a genocide, but only that of American Jews. Some people are accusing George Bush of trying to commit genocide on Muslim, because of the recent wars in Muslim countries, although that is a pretty serious accusation, that is probably untrue. He is however guilty of several war crimes.

Color Has An Impact On Your Emotions What does it represent?
zachwyler replied to Laurie's topic in General Discussion
Actually, colors by themselves, don't represent anything whatsoever. Its the meaning we attached to it over the years that makes us interpret them differently. We associate Pink with feminity, and white with purity and Black with ate, anger, evil, etc. because thats how people have done it over the past years. Indeed a lot of colors have two or more meanings attached to it, red could mean love, or it could mean danger. Similarly green could mean Safety, or it could mean envy. -
What Is Static? not static electricity - tv static
zachwyler replied to itrainmonkeys's topic in General Discussion
Actually, every TV, or rather every different brands of TV, have a specific static pattern, which it displays when it doesn't get any signal, or receives corrupted signal. The reason it doesn't have any color is because, there is no specific information being sent, so it simply displays the default pattern of static, which is made of a minimum set of instructions.. -
Thats what I was talking about. Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger, and Hotmail and Yahoo! Mail, are so widely used by so many people that making users of one service which over to the other unrealistic. Microsoft simply has no choice but to keep Yahoo! separate from the end users point of view. I think Microsoft purchased Yahoo! simply for their customer base

The Future Of Web Browsers Where do we go from here
zachwyler replied to zachwyler's topic in The Internet
I don't know bout that. I'm expecting browsers to be more like Flock. If you don't know about Flock, Check it out at flock.comGenerally, its a modification of Firefox. They included certain "web2" features in the browser. Like integration to social bookmarking sites, and to media sharing sites (flickr, youtube, etc.) as well as blogging tools, and many other useful features. This is integrated very smoothly so its better than Firefox with extensions doing the sme thing.However recently development seems to have slowed down, and I think that project isn't heading in the right direction. -
Actually I'm sure that Microsoft will keep Yahoo separate, because they have a lot of similar services, (search, mail, messenger, etc.) and the user bases of both hate each other. A Yahoo! Mail user will never switch to Windows Live Mail and a Windows Live Mail user will never switch to YAhoo! Mail. If Microsoft decides to do that, it'll risk most of their users to switch to Google. Microsoft needs to be very careful.

What Does Wikipeadia Think About Google mmm??
zachwyler replied to grimreaper423's topic in Search Engines
There's whole lot of wrong info on Wikipedia, concerning topics that a lot of people are passionate about (on the tech side, articles concerning Microsoft, Google, Apple, Firefox, etc.) These pages get a lot of vandalism, but some of them are very smart, and manage to re-word sentences, that reflect there opinion. -
I'm tired of people saying that Google is the new Microsoft, Google isn't anywhere near Microsoft. Not even the Microsoft of 1980. Google is ofcourse very similar to the Apple of old, right down to the multi colored logo. Anyone who visited Apple's headquaters three decades ago, can tell you that its very similar to Google's, not just in the interior deorating, but the attitude of the people working there as well.

Google, The Traitor How Google betrayed me, in a search engine way
zachwyler replied to Spyda's topic in Search Engines
A lot of ppl dont know this, but u cud simply email a google employee, preferrably one who works on the Search, and tell him about it. Google Cares About YOU!!! -
Try submitting ur site to Google. They have a site submission page (google it to find the link). A simpler way is to simply link you site from a page that is being indexed by Google. Such as Xisto.com!!!If it still doesn't work submit your site to Digg.com, it usually works.

Racism exists. Sexism exists. If the teacher was black, or if he was a dude, then it wud have turned out differently. Just another sad fact of life.But I have another question for you, where were these teachers when I was in school?

Actually there has been a lot of asteroid in the past that were predicted to collide with the earth. None did. Divine Intervention?Maybe.But from a scientific point of view, I think that the position of the earth is such that it'll never fall in the pathway of an asteroid (all asteroids follow strict mathmetical and defined pathways) which is why it survived long enough to support life and allow it to evolve.

This is absolutely huge. I was thinking that this was just a rumor, but a lot of reputable sources are reporting this. I just hope Microsoft doesn't screw up Yahoo!Microsoft shud let Yahoo! exist as a external entity, and not try to integrate it into MSN, Windows Live, etc. Like how Yahoo! did with Flickr and del.icio.usThis is good news for me cause I hate Google, and hope this stops them from "world domination"

Getting Fresh Water From The Ocean - My Idea
zachwyler replied to dazappa's topic in Science and Technology
Actually, that idea is great for getting the salt but not water. In fact that is how people around the world obtain salt. Then take water from the ocean and leave it in the sun, the water evaporates leaving the salt. In order to get water you wud need to condense water vapor, which is pretty uneconomical. -
Apple And Emi Make A Deal To Remove Copyright Protection
zachwyler replied to Saint_Michael's topic in Software
Its about time that everyone is realizing that DRM doesnt stop piracy, it barely slows it down. The only thing the DRM managed to do is annoy users. And I'm not just talking about DRM in music, but all kinds of copy protection schemes.
