Sparda Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I was just talking about this with Cody (P Christian), the Linux OS is called Linux becasue the kernel it uses is actualy the Linux kernel (before the OS adopted the same name). However, windows is just called windows becasue they wanted to call it windows, there is absalutly no theme or reason behind it. I guess MAC OS has the same problem... but you can't theme an OS based on the word "Macintosh", but windows actualy exsist, and so you could give it a naming convention based on that. Example posible naming theme: Taskbar becomes Shelf The Desktop becomes the window Desktop shortcuts becomes bugs (bugs on a window, get it ;)) Wen you display a web page on the desktop (How many people actualy use this feature?) you arn't just displaying it on the desktop, you are taping it to the window ;) Open windows becasue panels (couldn't think of any thing better) At least thats a themed naming convention that follows the actual name of the OS. Couldn't think of a better name of windows explorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spektormax Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 you know your an ub3r n00b when: your password is the same as your username/name/date of birth/SSN/or credit card pin. you think AOL or Internet explorer IS the internet. you go to random crack's, warez, and porn sites in IE and then wonder why your computer is so slow. you think that email is encrypted you think that SSL is fool proof. If you are not behind any form of NAT router. If your computer's case screw are not striped off form constant opening. If you think that linux is tin foil ( I knew a girl that when I asked if she knew about linux, she answered that tin foil company??) you think bill gates invented the personal computer (MIT's altar 8800) you see bill gates as anythign other than the devil. Your password is on your monitor, keyboard, or under your desk the password for your bank, login, and nasty forums is all the same. you've never heard of IRC. If you think that java and javascript are the same thng. You might be somewhat 1337 if: Your router had a heat sink. If your computer weights 5 lbs more beacuse you put a heatsink on every square inch of silicon. If when you bought your comptuer you thre your mouse out the widow. If you password is longer than your phone number anc contains Alt+num keys. If your hdd has more storage than the pentagon. If you use an encrypted lien to talk to your mother. If when you comptuer turns on, the whole town looses pwer. If when your computer starts up, peopel think thers a jet takign off. If your computer provides enough heat to heat your entire house. If you have more than a 24 pack of empty cans of any caffenated soda all over your room.. If you've ever forgoten how to walk because you've been in the comptuer chair for so long. If sleep is only tsomthing you read abotu on the internet. If wikipedia is your only source for school projects. If you have more friends on IRC then you do in real life. if when you watch wily cayoty, you stop and calulate the velocity at witch coyoty hits the ground (we did this at out physics class) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooper Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 you know your an ub3r n00b when: You send on chain letters as the message says doing so will get you free swag, or get some sick boy into the guiness book of records. You tell people you're going to be millionaire based on an email you got from some African guy. (did I mention that some of my co-workers are sheep?) You might be somewhat 1337 if: You host your own IPTV show. ;) when you move into your own house, the first thing on your agenda is to designate a room as 'server room'. People come to you asking for advice, and follow it. You can't remember the last time you bought a complete PC. You spend more money on computer gear than you do on clothing. You keep your machines (yes, you need multiple) on 24/7, and only turn the monitor off to ease up on the power bill. You actively use multiple monitors. If you have more friends on IRC then you do in real life.I like that one. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manuel Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 You know you're a noob when you panic because your desktop icons refresh and you accuse the system admin of hacking into your computer. You know you're a noob when you have a screen resolution of 1024x768 and have 15 columns and 9 rows of icons that are overlapping by 3 times each column and you think theres is nothing wrong with it. You know you're a noob when you store important files in the recycle bin. When the admin comes around and empties the trash, you panic becasue the most important file of the year was "saved" in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
