Vista seems kind of like that to me. It seems like there's less control and and access than previous windows. Of course, this has been happening since DOS, so w/e. In any case, I'm sure after I use it for a while I'll get used to it and figure out how to control it better, and it'll feel natural.I don't feel like I'm operating the mac so much as I'm just there sharing the mac experience. And if I can do something useful while the mac is willing, so much the better.
There's more and more control with every edition, you just need to stop assuming you know what you're talking about and find it. Just like you need to find the control in a graphic nix/bsd environment where not everything is spoon fed to you through the start menu either.CompWiz wrote:Vista seems kind of like that to me.

Not to mention group controls, services management, etc.Searches for strings in files.
FINDSTR [/B] [/E] [/L] [/R] [/S] [/I] [/X] [/V] [/N] [/M] [/O] [/P] [/F:file]
[/C:string] [/G:file] [/D:dir list] [/A:color attributes] [/OFF[LINE]]
strings [[drive:][path]filename[ ...]]
/B Matches pattern if at the beginning of a line.
/E Matches pattern if at the end of a line.
/L Uses search strings literally.
/R Uses search strings as regular expressions.
/S Searches for matching files in the current directory and all
subdirectories.
/I Specifies that the search is not to be case-sensitive.
/X Prints lines that match exactly.
/V Prints only lines that do not contain a match.
/N Prints the line number before each line that matches.
/M Prints only the filename if a file contains a match.
/O Prints character offset before each matching line.
/P Skip files with non-printable characters.
/OFF[LINE] Do not skip files with offline attribute set.
/A:attr Specifies color attribute with two hex digits. See "color /?"
/F:file Reads file list from the specified file(/ stands for console).
/C:string Uses specified string as a literal search string.
/G:file Gets search strings from the specified file(/ stands for console).
/D:dir Search a semicolon delimited list of directories
strings Text to be searched for.
[drive:][path]filename
Specifies a file or files to search.
Use spaces to separate multiple search strings unless the argument is prefixed
with /C. For example, 'FINDSTR "hello there" x.y' searches for "hello" or
"there" in file x.y. 'FINDSTR /C:"hello there" x.y' searches for
"hello there" in file x.y.
Regular expression quick reference:
. Wildcard: any character
* Repeat: zero or more occurances of previous character or class
^ Line position: beginning of line
$ Line position: end of line
[class] Character class: any one character in set
[^class] Inverse class: any one character not in set
[x-y] Range: any characters within the specified range
\x Escape: literal use of metacharacter x
\<xyz Word position: beginning of word
xyz\> Word position: end of word
For full information on FINDSTR regular expressions refer to the online Command
Reference.
And you think I'd buy a dell? They're overpriced as well. What are the specs of the apple. I guarantee I could build one for a lot less.threefingeredguy wrote:The new Mac tower: $2500CompWiz wrote:Also, you would have to be an idiot to spend hundreds more on a machine that's almost identical to a pc one you can buy.
Dell's price for the exact same parts: $3000
$500 dollars more and I have to use Windows? No thanks.

Come back when you want to change any configuration option that's anywhere in a GUI, without having to do more than click an icon or run a fully automated script (script = easy peasy) that can not only implement the changes but also respond dynamically to other changes in settings from any source.There's no annoying registry that programs scramble however they want.
And how is this a good thing? It's a plain indicator of the monopoly Microsoft has on the operating system market, outside of the geek/nerd/photographer niche.CompWiz wrote:well, yes, they bundle some nice programs, but they kind of have to, as all the freeware won't work on a mac. I'd really hate having to buy special programs at a premium so I can run them on a mac. With windows, almost every program will run on it. If you download something, chances are it'll work. If you buy some program at the store, it's probably a windows program. how can you stand that?
