Other Discussion / Re: XP or Vista?

« on: November 13, 2007, 08:30:13 pm »

My laptop was specifically built for Vista...yet Vista runs incredibally terrible on it. Admitidly the Punkbuster problem could be fixed with a Patch I dunno. And User Account Control? No, there is nothing good about it, except maybe if your a complete !@#$% retard and feel the need to wipe the entire C drive...

That is a big problem right now. Computer manufacturers are building computers that say they are powerful enough to run vista. I did some research and the best laptop for it was $1800. So i bought it and everything runs great.

I prefer Vista Business and Home Premium. Compatibility? UPGRADE YOU CHEAP BASTARDS!

I've got to ask. What is there too actually like about Vista?

And before some says. 'Its looks' It looks !@#$% horrible. Now please...go back to your acid or whatever you take.

I like the fact you can search for something in start and it comes up instantly (something xp doesn't do).
I like the more intuitive tablet stroke recognition (I use my Wacom alot)
I like the reliability monitor since I have a network of 10 computers to keep running (only 5 are running vista though)
I like the new layout of explorer
I like the new network center
I like the game explorer (not really that cool but I like it)

I like alot more features but I don't want to list more.

Most of them if not all could be done on Linux. I'm not about to preach linux though, As I'm sure XP also can do them.

People bring up Linux and say how great it is even though nothing is compatible with it. Yet you bash Vista for compatibility issues. Why would I buy Linux when they do not sell software for it in a store? I haven't run into a reason to downgrade and I am running Business and Home Premium with no problems. But then again I own power machines with 4 gigs of ram and Geforce 8800s.

Linux is free... All software is gotten of the internet for free, and theres Wine for the incompatible software. Again I wont start preaching about it though.

I hate Vista because;

• Its greedy with resources
• It likes to take control over your pc what with the User Account Control, which I find VERY intrusive with what I'd like to do with my computer.
• I do a lot of video editing and I had to spend days searching for suitable codecs for their media player.
• There is no possible way to get Vista to run at a comfortable standard on Laptops
• Games like Battlefield, on multiplayer when playing on Servers with 'PunkBuster', well you cant play on them as Punk Buster doesn't support Vista. Wouldn't bother me much, but Well over half the bloody servers run PunkBuster.

Those are just a few of the reasons why Vista is a terrible operating system. It should NEVER of been released.

I don't know where your getting that vista is unbearable on laptops. I'm running vista on my laptop and it's working fine. I haven't run into the punkbuster problem yet, I've played many matches in team fortress 2 with punbkbuster on (while playing on my laptop I might add)

The user account controls are extremely easy to disable. I life that feature, I plan to leave it enabled on my mom's next computer.

« on: November 13, 2007, 02:59:15 am »

I hate my sister's boyfriend well... now her finance also. So I feel for you. He cornered my mom and told her how she needed to send my little brother to a psychiatrists because my brother wont speak when he is around. My brother only talks to people who are not assholes. More recently my father chased him down in a pickup when he found out he was selling and doing drugs around my sister. You don't want to !@#$% of my dad, he's 280 lbs and knows how to beat the !@#$% out of people.

WHAT THE !@#$%?
She's dating a a drug dealer? And she's just going on like that even though you all know?
=/

No no. She's not just dating him anymore. Revan said they are engaged.

Yep they have a F'd up relationship. She left her diary when she skipped town and my little brother got ahold of it. It said that her boyfriend (Thomas) contemplated suicide if she ever left him, then in another part my sister talks about killing herself. My parents were surprised to see what a wako she really is. She is extremely emo but not in the way she dresses but in the way she thinks.

o.o Why dont you get your parents to disown her if she continues to kid herself with that !@#$%?

Thats what upsets me, she's 21 years old and not living here anymore yet my mother gives her all of her attention. I don't need much but my brother is the one who need my parents right now. I'm getting real tired of hearing about her every single day, she hasn't even called me in 3 months and my mom tries to convince me she's not incosiderate as I think. I believe my parents are so wrapped up with my sister is because for years she pretended to be a different person then why mom or dad wasn't around she'd turn into Hitler.

« on: October 22, 2007, 07:53:06 pm »

I've taken some of the kinks out and shaded it with charcoal.

Great drawing, though it follows the Dracula stereotype more than the original character, although the spirit of that character would be hard to capture.

I've always enjoyed this look for Dracula the best, I've never really been into the other aspects of the character.

As usual, I like it.

You didn't ask for critiques, and chances are I don't need to point them out, but this is what I see.  First off, it's not that one eye is higher than the other, it's that his left iris is slightly skewed and is slightly off centered, and also his left ear is higher than the right.  Outside of that, my only gripe is that the nose could use a bit more definition around the nostrils...they're not very uniform.

Again, I doubt that I needed to point anything out to you, you're the best traditional artist here by far, (I'd like to say that I am, but no, that would be false...I basically only do surreal art which isn't very traditional, and even so, you are much better.).  And then there's .Takam and many others that are pretty great, but still, good job.  Keep it up.

No, I want of criticism. I am still learning. With this sketch I was focusing on speed. I'm still not very good at drawing likenesses yet. Next semester I'll be taking my first art class. Thanks for the feedback.
