Every time you post a note in your MUD, Windows explorer dies...? That doesn't make any sense... can you give a little more information?

(And shouldn't this be in a different section than 'announcements'? :-P)

Are you trying to make an announcement here on this forum? And when you post it, the Windows Explorer crashes? Or the web browser? If so, how did you post the message about the crash?

I think what he's trying to say is that he's trying to post an announcement message here and he's using some crappy browser like IE 6 which is crashing on him when he tries to post.. he should probably upgrade his browser to Firefox or Opera or some such and give it another try, maybe even upgrade his OS to linux.. :P

This might not be the answer you want but may I suggest a better browser, like Firefox?

Indeed, but it's the kind of thing always worth repeating. :P And I liked your suggestion of upgrading to Linux too. ;)

You have a Linux shell without having Linux? Not sure what you mean... do you perhaps mean remote access?

And yes, Linux is "like" Windows XP in that it is an operating system, an environment in which you operate your computer. But it is nothing like Windows in very many ways; some people will tell you it is far superior, others will tell you that it's harder to operate and therefore not worth your time. It is true that you have to be willing to learn how to get around it; it's not for the faint of heart. Still, it's not too bad, especially if you have experience with the command-line interface.

And many of the modern Linux distributions can be made to look and feel so much like Windows XP that you'd be hard pressed at times to know the difference. The only thing I find Windows still better than Linux at these days is gaming, and that's only because so many developers insist on making their games rely upon DirectX or various Windows DLLs that just don't translate well. Otherwise, I'm in the camp that David referred to who believe that Linux is far superior to Windows.

Yes, but unfortunately under the hood it's quite different for non-trivial changes. I'm of the camp that it's sometimes better to avoid superficial similarity in order to avoid giving the impression of deeper similarity.

But yes, I also believe that Linux is far superior, at least for the vast majority of my needs. I also keep Windows around, but just for gaming.
