i can think of plenty of arguments against a touch device:
- a finger is a fat 3 dimensional object, not a stylus, and tends to hit many points on the grid simultaneously, causing unintentional results
- by having to touch a region of the screen, you have to move your finger and consequently your entire hand in the way of the screen, blocking your view of the screen

therefore, mouse & keyboard will always be superior in some way - the cream will rise to the top baby

windows 8 isn't just one big advertisement, its an insult to the intelligence of computer users and an assault on the computer-using world's posterity

No, that's every windows ever. this one is no more or less "dumbed down", if anything it's more difficult to figure out because nothing is where it used to be


is that apparent to a casual user?

It's on the metro menu which replaced the start menu, it's no harder or less intuitive than it was before and in fact may be more intuitive because you don't even need to click anything to make that menu come up

How many times am I going to have to prove you wrong before you admit you've never even seen windows 8 and you're pulling all of this straight out of your ass so you have something to soapbox about?

[Plug Drugs]

hmm i dicked around with it for a while, i was basing that off of videos i saw on it because i vowed to myself to never use Windows 8 again; although i might get it and just download the classic shell
The same applies though: casual users are only going to do what is immediately conveyable to them. If you put shit in random counter-intuitive places, most casual users are going to just do their best to live without using it, and only use shit like IE to check facebook, etc.. and never learn more about their computer

And I have said this again and again: If you can agree that Windows 8 is a dumber interface than Windows 7, and can agree that using the GUI is going to distance people from knowing more about their computer, then Windows 8 is going to increase that gap and breed more GUI-dependent users

Is my AMD phenom ii x4 955 3.2 Ghz processor compatible with Windows XP?

Totally qualified to say windows 8 will breed computer illiteracy, I wasn't giving this guy enough credit he certainly knows his shit

[maks]

I'd believe that if you had any fucking clue how to use it.

Doesn't sound much different than
"I can use Windows 8 in desktop mode when I have to or want to"

You have neither the inclination nor the ability to learn DOS, if you were the power user you like to pretend that you are you'd already know it. I'll bet you don't even know how to add a snap-in to the MMC.

Not at all; Microsoft is stacking the cards against those users.

Keep telling yourself that.
First of all, there's more than one way to skin a cat. Second of all, if someone changed all the characters to random Chinese symbols, rearranged all the keys on the keyboard which would also be in chinese, then you'd be completely lost and you know it.

When I want to or have to, I can learn it to the extent I need to to get it to do what I need it to do. If I can use it to my benefit, then that's all that counts

[maks]

There really isn't, there's a ton of shit that can only be done via DOS or powershell and if you don't know either of those things you've obviously never done them

you're a typical home user who knows how to do incredibly basic things. there's nothing wrong with that, but it does mean you should keep your fucking mouth shut when it comes to technical stuff and you have no place criticizing people who only know slightly less than you do.

Everything in DOS is incredibly basic; why bother learning it unless I'm using it for something. As an example, I had to set up a static IP to host games, I figured out how to do that with written instructions.

Also, I am not criticizing those people beneath me, rather I am defending them; I want it to be as easy as possible for those people to be able to learn about computers so they do become smarter about computers - that can't happen if there's some leech stacking the cards against them.

[maks]

I agree, as a basic home user who doesn't know shit there's no reason for you to ever touch the command line. You're in here posing as a power user, denouncing anyone who isn't as computer literate as you, anyone with that attitude should at least know how to use the fucking shell.

There's no reason for me to ever touch the command line? Lol, it's saved me from countless viruses, I use it to be able to host games, blah blah blah.
I think the real reason you're so defensive is because you don't like feeling like your trade isn't special or unique.

I can do all sorts of shit on a computer that a lot of my peers are clueless about. Me and my best friends in highschool were the "computer guys"; we were the guys showing everyone how to get on game sites in the computer labs using proxies; sending messages to every computer in the school simultaneously using the command line; playing N64 games in the computer lab with emulators on flash drives; when we took webpage design and the other kids were having brain farts over the concept of an HTML tag, we were showing the teacher javascript. blah blah blah

I am working my way through studying Qabbalah, and learning Tarot in order to complete the correlation between the two, which I have been told is of the utmost importance for a complete understanding of either and for the work as a whole.
I Ching has been my divinatory companion for 10 years but Tarot seems to hold a more comprehensive and complex symbolic framework as well as more vivid archetypal imagery, not to mention an invaluable companion to the whole Kabbalistic system, which the more I study the more fills in the gaps that I have been unable to fill in my work.
I have several works and magical formulae that are unfinished, the basis for a zodiac/calendar sort of thing, an article or two in the works. Need to find a group to join and a temple or something. I don't groove with the OTO, although Thelema is very appealing and I self identify to an extent I don't really like reading Crowley. I was thinking about joining the local Rosicrucian lodge, still have yet to find the time to go check them out. But I definitely need a group, and a temple. I guess that is next. Kabbalah, Tarot, group, temple, and finish reading Initiation into Hermetics by Franz Barden. Good stuff in there, I think that once I get these things rolling I will enter a new phase in my work.
