2019-06-10 at 7:04 PM UTC in Why is Windows XP so fucking lightning fast but Windows 10 is absolute garbage?I use WinXP mainly for the ability to play the old classic MS-Dos/Win based games, like Warcraft II Tides of Darkness, Starcraft, HalfLife, Medal of Honor, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Quake/QuakeII, Blood, Recoil, RedLine, HitMan, etc,. The kind of games you can come back to years later and they still deliver. The games of today are complete and utter garbage. Who wants "real", when you're playing a game!? An epic game should be fun, not real.

It was perfect and there is no reason to ever abandon that format and here is why:
You didn't have to be an expert artist to be able to prop up a website
HTML is efficient and very low bandwidth so anybody can load the pages in an instant
BB code forums are still the perfect format
The internet circa 2005 is still objectively the greatest
I still have a bunch of old server utilities, like Serv-U. Remember that one? You could setup an FTP server on your own box on any port, and then host any kind of files from it, including HTML. Host your own site right off your own computer, complete with user permissions.
Then there was FlashFXP, where you could "side transfer" files from one site to the other without actually uploading or downloading from either. Pretty cool stuff back then, when users had actual control. -

But the only "desktop" I had was "Calculator", "Organizer", "Calendar", "File", "System" and "Document", nothing else. $4,999+ tax for the whole system.

Amiga. Commodore 64...

the limit of NTSF is 2tb.
The maximum partition size of NTFS depends on the smallest cluster size. NTFS maximum size = cluster size * (2^32 -1). By default, the cluster size is 4096 bytes, so its limit is 16TB. Therefore, to break 2TB file system limit, you can convert the disk to GPT disk and format it as NTFS. -

Originally posted by WellHung You telling me if rhonda rousy was beating your ass, you wouldn't fight back?
Only time in my entire life I've ever hit a woman is when my cheating girlfriend dragged her dumb ass to the door of my new place at 1am and saw the shoes of my new girlfriend through the window and started kicking a hole right through front door, yelling and screaming, then came through the hole she had bashed through and started punching me in the head really hard. I took about five or six good shots to the face and head and body, then I started swinging. The whole time she was throwing punches and swinging around like a wildcat, biting and clawing and kicking, while holding onto my hair. I gave her a good ten shots straight to the head and she still kept clawing and punching. The whole time, my new girlfriend was standing on the bed with a sheet wrapped around her, screaming at me to stop her. I finally managed to get her in a tight headlock and I literally dragged her and then threw her back through the hole she had made in the door. Then she left the property. Neighbors called the cops and asked if I wanted them to go arrest her and charge her, but I said no. A few days later, I saw her, and her head and eyes were all puffed out like a puffer fish and her skin on her face was deep purple. I just kept walking. -

So idk but….like Bill Krozby said feel free to post a video of you on a speed bag or someshit.
Over here, LP can nail you to the pavement if you even twitch, and if you take a swing, you'll get your head pounded in. -

2019-06-10 at 6:44 AM UTC in Why is Windows XP so fucking lightning fast but Windows 10 is absolute garbage?Try PrivateFirewall 7.0. Very nice and free product, and a wide variety of easy-to-use blocking/enhancementing options, including process monitoring, and also a very nice customizable rule-set builder.

also it's shameful how M$ has completely dropped support for WinXP.
You can't even download the service packs from their site anymore …
You can download the standalone service pack 3 install executable. Works perfectly.

2019-06-10 at 5:17 AM UTC in Why is Windows XP so fucking lightning fast but Windows 10 is absolute garbage?That's why I use it. I've been using it ever since it came out and never switched. Never had a single issue with it the whole time, never had to reinstall anything, totally compatible with all the good older stuff, and as you say, lightning fast. I just use a manually configured rule-based firewall to stifle off any and all unwanted connections and security has been flawless for years.

You get all kinds of bad asses. Tag-teams of professional boosters, too. Out in the parking lot with a gang of thieving hardcases, you better know how to fight.
