boot test

[koaftder]

Comparing boot times from an amiga to an xp pc is retarded in my oppinion. I don't use a PC like I use an Amiga.

My 1.4 GHz pentium D laptop with Xp boots in 75 seconds. This seems like a long time doesn't it? But I only have to boot this thing every 4 or 5 months. When i'm done using it I just shut the lid. With the lid shut, and unplugged from the wall, it floats for 4 days. When I want to use it again, I just open the lid, and its up and running in 2 seconds. Same thing with my powerbook.

My desktop PC stays up for months at a time. I just leave it on. You don't get to do this with an Amiga because you'll be resetting that sucker every single day.

More useless ramblings from somebody who obviously doesn't have any experience developing software.

Nice point by point response there!  When did I claim to have experience "developing software?"  So programmers are the only ones who can be knowledgeable about computers?  Thats mighty pretentious  

You are not going to get a point by point response from me because your arguments do not warrant it.

You did infer to have some knowledge in software when you claimed that you could crash xp kernel by writing zeros from 00000000-0000FFFF in a userland process. You still have a check right here for $100 dollars if you'd like to demonstrate it.

You want me to demonstrate a corrupted registry?  I think I remember mentioning that.  Anyway, that box has already been fdisk'd windoze reinstalled on it.  Next time one of my windows machines {bleep}s its registry though I'll be happy to show you how such a program could take down a windoze box, no problem (you won't have to wait too long, promise).  

That silly little program you claim to have compiled with lcc and crashed your xp box had absolutely nothing to do with the registry.

Show me a registry key you can set from an unprivilidged user account that causes xp to bluescreen.

I bet the vast majority of your problems with windows are related to you installing all kinds of crap programs while logged in as administrator like 90% of all the other windows users.

Ive seen a lot of amiga systems where the user has installed wads and wads of useless crap and guess what? Their systems guru and are bogged down as well.
