I have to take my finals next week then its on to the second half of the school year.

I have an OS practice exam... (OS stands for Operative Systems)

[mrwiseman]

Far more interesting that databases (I'm working on that this week). To me, at least.

OSes was one of the only matters I found a pleasure to do here (it's not that I don't like CS, I don't like university - just plain old, theoretical stuff and math, you gotta learn the useful shit by yourself after you're done with all the crap).

[melfice]

OSes are cool, unless it is Unix... Unix is an old thing... okay, Solaris, or other distributions may have nice graphic environments, have true Multitask-multiuser suport, and be completely network oriented, but this is hard Unix-script programming... and i find much more interesting C programming, to tell the truth... at least we can use the books

[mrwiseman]

Unix is good for servers, network applications, and a few particular things. My personal favorite operating system family is Windows NT (I use Windows 2000 (formerly known as Windows NT 5)). It has its advantages, but I don't like some things of Unix (*), plus Windows is way better for graphics and sound, games, desktop applications, etc.

I do like Shell scripting though, it may be useful for automatic tasks and stuff. For example, my (Windows NT powered) computer is full of BAT and CMD files to do stuff like partial defragmentation, temporary file purges, control OS services, etc. Windows NT has a slightly improved batch system, but I miss some things Unix has. The Windows Scripting Host could be even more powerful than Bash, but it's harder to learn.

(*): Like the absence of decent text editors... all you have are those vi and emacs pieces of bull shit - I'd rather cut my fingers than use that crap again. (Only very few new, rare, unpopular editors in some Linux releases are decent enough to be used.)

you don'r know what to put in your sig? leave it empty! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

[Daigotsu]

What does it say?

[mrwiseman]

Ryudo's sig? The previous one said something about needing or finding Skies of Arcadia hentai, I can't remember. His current sig means I don't know what put in here.
