robodude · 03-21-2004, 02:09 PM

We may say that now they're very alike you know. Now Mac OS is Unix based just as Linux but it's a lot more user-friendly by whipping out a lot of the freedom of choice you on linux. though they never said they would create a new linux. They never said that. They just wanted more robustness and stability for a system with a more than well suited graphic interface.

interesting but linux is still free

Aren't you technically asking this in your "witch is beter" thread and poll? We necessarily don't need different threads for Linux vs <fill-in-the-blank> all over the forums.

And Linux vs Mac, there is no comparison really now, Linux is an OS, mac is hardware that OS's run on... etc. Or were you wanting a comparison of Linux vs OSX which is basically another form of a Unix operating system that Apple now uses on their systems... ??

It's http://www.linux.net/compat.php,
not http://http//www.linux.net/compat.php

Guess that makes it one cent ;)

He probably didn't type http://http like that, this forum engine sometimes screws up making urls into links.

XavierP · 03-22-2004, 05:14 PM

No. What he probably did was not overtype the "http://" which is automatically inserted in the url helper under the "post reply" option. Using "[ url=http://....... ]...[/url ]", I have never encountered the problem.

edit: spaces in front and behind 'url' so it shows up.

Tinkster · 03-22-2004, 05:20 PM

Hmmm ... in that case wouldn't he have also
had a second ":"? Like in

Code:

http://http://

?

Cheers,
Tink

So maybe he didn't use the [ url] stuff. The forum engine still tried to make a url into a link. Example:

http://timecube.com

XavierP · 03-22-2004, 05:22 PM

Maybe he typed it in, rather than copy/pasting? Only Robodude knows the full answer to that one

I love how his posts always have a tendency to go way off topic.
