Electrolytics question

What would you suggest I do? Apart form insist they stop using Irish electricians?

It's not my building, I have no say in who works on the electrical system.

The flood of stupidity from you never seems to cease.

The responsiveness of a system is dependant on the whole and not one 'process'.

is slower.

I don't find it credible when you fail to 'find' what is reported as a common problem by scores of others.

system is much better at copying (you get more choices if files are to be overwritten for example, and renaming files doesn't highlight the extension).

The extra file copy options are good. Removing the navigation buttons and folder status is not.

just upgrade it a little. Memory is cheap and is the main factor preventing a newer OS from functioning well.

The 'context' was you guessing as to the ''intent'.

Me, and it was the thing you were supposedly arguing with. But since you're unable to remember what the heck you're arguing with, and too lazy to look in the message to find it, I'll quote it here: "But needing twice the memory to run the same thing as before isn't any 'better' than needing twice the processor for the same performance."

Because that was the stated criteria.

faster. From the network logon prompt to everything being loaded and at full speed is about the same.

You seem to forget you're not the only one using the thing.

Besides that having nothing to do with whether transparency is 'useful' or not it's utter nonsense.

For obvious reasons Microsoft doesn't publish a list of incompatible programs. You get the good news at install when it informs you of what 'might not work right' after the upgrade and which one's it insists you remove before proceeding further.

And all you're doing is demonstrating your limited experience.

I didn't know the world was supposed to copy you on the memo.

Try responding to what I wrote instead of writing childish comments.

Yes, but there must be something specific that you find slow. Display of graphics? File management? Opening an application?

It is only a problem evident on machines with limited RAM. I insist on at least

system is much better at copying (you get more choices if files are to be overwritten for example, and renaming files doesn't highlight the extension).

The only thing I've noticed missing is the "up one level" button in some "save as" dialogs.

I'm nowhere near a Vista computer right now, so I don't know what navigation buttons you're referring to exactly.

It was me assuming you'd understand.

Windows Vista 64 bit on that machine

would expect it to be slower if anything.

All I was arguing about was that it runs just as fast with more memory. The precise amount more that you require I haven't measured, and is unimportant.

Why would it be slower depending who is using it? Computers don't have favourite users.

You don't think a pleasing look is useful? Do you have plain brick walls in your office and not paint them or hang pictures?

I've never seen a complaint from an upgrade apart from the odd utility which was installed years ago and nobody uses anymore. I usually delete it or get a newer version.

There are 750 computers where I work.

What on earth do you mean? Do you think people won't complain when something I did fails?

graphics? File management? Opening an application?

System responsiveness.

that is slower.

least 1-2GB for XP and 3-4GB for Vista. Memory is dirt cheap, you may aswell put in as much as the motherboard will take.

That you apparently have money to burn wasn't the issue. The issue was being slower than XP on the same hardware and taking 'twice the processor and 'twice the RAM' to get back to essentially where you started.

And telling me that all it takes is to upgrade the processor and double the RAM is saying the same thing despite you irrationally trying to claim it isn't.

I did understand. You were, and apparently still are, guessing.

would expect it to be slower if anything.

Then you're arguing for no reason because that's the same thing I said: that it takes twice the memory to get back where you started.

unimportant.

I've got a dozen machines here so, since memory is 'unimportant' to you, kindly pop 36 1 Meg sticks in the mail to me.

faster. From the network logon prompt to everything being loaded and at full speed is about the same.

It wouldn't be. Nor faster, Which is why you arguing against the millions of other users with contradictory first hand experience is silly.

You apparently think so, mainly you, because you deny every experience of others and keep insisting that if three monkeys, hear no evil see no evil speak no evil, you "haven't heard a complaint" then there aren't any.

Which is why I said "You seem to forget you're not the only one using the thing."

You really have no idea what a GUI is for.

I don't claim that decorations make spreadsheets work better.

And since you will, no doubt, be completely lost by your own strawman diversion, the issue was what's *useful* vs just 'pretty'.

That reminds me of the interview who said he had 20 years of experience and the interviewer said looks to me like 1 years worth of experience repeated 20 times over.

Replicating a fortunate combination 750 times simply means you have

But go ahead and tell me you currently run every software product ever made.

What makes you think everyone in the world even knows you exist, much less inform you of every problem they encounter?

Stop responding to this retarded f*****ad. He deserves intercommunication with no one here. The little bastard deserves to be ignored by all of Usenet. The level of stupidity that he oozes is beyond compare. His eyes are brown and there is a foul stench emanating from his ears. Hucker is full of s*it, essentially.

He even has a sad grasp of computational tasks. He doesn't seem to understand that a slow hard drive and I/O interface can slow an entire machine down... ALL processes, when it is on a box that utilizes an OS that swaps to HD constantly.

He claims to be the tech support in a computer firm but in the original branch of this thread he claims that his employer hired an incompetent electrician to wire a new extension to the building, who allegedly phased the neutral on the new ring mains. He kicked off with "8 failed electrolytics in one day" but continued to modify his fairy tale as more people picked holes in what he claimed happened.

I just don't know how much he says can be believed!

graphics? File management? Opening an application?

You mean reacting to clicking? Are you complaining abut the aero interface? Maybe you should turn it off - it's probably not slower because of the computer taking it's time, it's just slower because it has to animate things.

that is slower.

least 1-2GB for XP and 3-4GB for Vista. Memory is dirt cheap, you may aswell put in as much as the motherboard will take.

Which part of dirt cheap did you miss? The cost of the memory is nothing compared to the cost of the OS. Depending on memory type, I've seen 1GB of memory for as cheap as £9.

I never mentioned the processor.

Then you misunderstood.

Windows Vista 64 bit on that machine

would expect it to be slower if anything.

So what's the problem?

unimportant.

You mean 1 Gig I presume. Assuming you didn't make dodgy copies of Vista, you've already spent far more than the cost of those sticks on the OS.

faster. From the network logon prompt to everything being loaded and at full speed is about the same.

Have all those people upgraded the memory accordingly?

I know the people I support, and they certainly WOULD complain!

It doesn't have one specific purpose.

Why is it you think an office should be decorated and a spreadsheet not? People stare at spreadsheets for longer periods of time than walls.

I run a big enough selection. If you run some unusual small-time third party rubbish, then you may experience things differently.

I was obviously referring to the people using the computers I work with.

Sure it does. It points out total retards like you for what you are.
