Two of the cheapest people in the world, Woodie and the Indian mathematician who invented ZERO.What's wrong with that???!!!!????
Given a choice most will opt for free than having to pay, NO???....
Compiz Fusion
- Thread starter WoodPeckr
- Start date
ROTFLMAO!!!!
Ande you seem sooooo brilliant throwing away your money on an over-hyped pricey product!
Now who looks like the fool???....
Another Compix Demo.
It mimics M$, OSX and then Linux which blows M$ & OSX away!
Since Apple claims to be so advanced in graphics it's surprising Mac has no app that beats the pants off Linux here.......

Well, yes and no-- And it's gotten increasingly this way in Linux land as well-- Apple very tightly wraps those BSD underpinning in their GUI, and there's a very big physiology gap between Apple and Linux users. A mature Linux user, one who fundamentally understands their OS and Distro, when compared to their kin on the Apple side of the fence are often two very differnt critters, who's cultures encourage some very different things. Part of that is self selection / marketing, and part of that is 'cultural reinforcement' from your peers. (And there's no blanket exclusion there one way or the other...)
Not sure about the GUI stuff as i work in the terminal and vi mainly and sometimes Joe .... but most of the OSX users i know and have worked with are old unix admins and OSX is a full blown BSD with a pretty GUI ... so i really think the difference here is what u and i consider skilled .... my last position full time was on a site in the top 500 on Alexa .... and we used OSX and rarely the GUI ... i consider the 10 on my team skilled OSX users .... and could easily pop into any Unix admin position anywhere. Now i have many designer friends that are skilled Adobe users ... but not skilled mac users.... am i making any sense here?
Does Apple have to have a clean sweep?
Let's remember this piece of eyecandy the next time you say anything about how much people are paying for the looks of Apple's machines.
Just thought it strange Apple has no advanced app in this regard since their graphics are rated so highly.
Woodie;
I'm still trying to figure out the point of your post #44 woodie. Your showing Compiz Fusion program but it being shown on a OSX desktop, I'm guessing Leopard. CF is available for all three platforms so it's basically a moot point. If you want to see other high end 3D animated graphics on OSX try Beryll or others.
With what I know about high end 3D graphics and it's not that much, you're split hairs as each one has the things it does best and the things it does less so. Then it comes down to which interface/menus you like to use. As I understand all usable on a Mac.
I've seen high end stuff done on 3DsMax, LightWave 3D, Maya, Softimage, and Bryce ( mostly the middle three); all great programs with strengths and weaknesses.
It's like high end video programs. Basically two camps, Avid and Final Cut. The rest are just fringe players.

Compiz Fusion followed Beryll.
I just started playing around with CF.
That video was showing how CF ran on Windows Vista, Mac OS Expose and Linux for comparative purposes to demonstrate there are far more features and special effects available on the Linux CF version.

Not many people are interested in being able to write across their desktop like that. In fact, I don't even use any of the special effects from the Dock, I just want to get my work done without going through crashes and, in the case of Linux, having to deal with 'libraries" or opening up the terminal to get a program working.
I've never had these crashes you experience but then you've always said you have such darn bad luck with Linux.
The repositories are simple and so easy to use and using Terminal is even quicker if someone gives you the proper code!
What does Mac offer that is easier for adding/removing apps?....

Hmmm, drag and drop. No need for proper codes. Couldn't be easier.I've never had these crashes you experience but then you've always said you have such darn bad luck with Linux.

So if you want to install some app like Gimp, you drag & drop it from where to where and it installs the new app automatically?
Why do I want to install Gimp? What's my motivation to do so? Is it on a USB key? Is it on a disk? Is it a download? Come on Woodie. Give me something to work with here.
Gimp was just an example....you seem befuddled...
OK then, say you want to install some app like XYZ (because it does something you want) do you drag & drop XYZ app from where to where and it installs the new app XYZ automatically?
Ok. Program is on a USB key. Plug in the key and an ikon/folder appears on your desk top, double click on the icon/folder and double click on the program title in the window and follow the easy installations instructions that are sure to follow. I don't remember the last time I had any trouble installing any OSX program.
To remove it, right click on the program name or icon and press delete OR drag to the Trash Basket and drop it.
Did I miss something people?
So you need a USB key to add any new app????
What if you don't have that key???
Even with that USB key it seems like a lot of steps to add a new app!
Linux is far easier.
Say I want to add audio app.... Audacity.
All I do is open a Terminal
and that's it!
Audacity is installed!....
No further instructions are given you have to follow as in Mac....
Heck even using Synaptic Package Manager is easier than what you detailed in your Mac 'app install procedure'.
No you don't need a USB key. It could be a disk, a link, an address, an icon on an e-mail; any number of things double click and go. A guy with Parkinson's could do it.
One question, how do you open a terminal? I know you're holding something back.
How much do you guys want to bet that Microsoft is going to go the route of a some type of linux o/s in the future?
I can see they have started that way for awhile now.
Allot of you guys boost how linux is great and wonderful, of it open source etc etc. But you have to take into consideration that most general users/younger generation are not linux friendly. To get into linux you have to get in dept with the codeing and commands, and not the regular joe blow will know anyone of this. Yes I give credit to you guys that know your stuff, but step back and look outside the box.
It is funny though linux has been around for ages, and it is still in use of those torrent site and private warez site ops, who get those "free" copies of movies, application, games to your computer. Why? because it is secure, but in doubt in every program that a programmer releases he/she always puts a back door in their software. Speaking from a programmer point of view, it is widely know that most or all of us do this, to protect out work. So don't think it is a kick ass free and secure o/s.
