Bill made it famous @0:50 lol! Oh that's bad! For those who don't get the joke, a lot of programs tend to lock up and CTRL+ALT+DEL is the only way to stop the process (when pressing the close button doesn't work).
Either I don't get the joke, or it isn't very funny. Before MS Windows came about, CTRL+ALT+DEL used to mean "instant system reboot" so you would use it to reboot the machine when something went wrong (Microsoft or otherwise). Windows changed it to bring up the Task Manager instead. In this role, its use doesn't mean Microsoft software is crap, which I presume it what the joke is about. It's just a handy keyboard shortcut to the Task Manager (or whatever it's called these days).
Old Window systems used to be rather unstable, so one might think he was referring to that. "People always had to reboot Windows 95/98/ME". Joke's in when he saw Bill's expression and defining further that he actually meant the log on screen of NT (and not the unstable Windows'.
It's just a simple joke about Windows' reputation of locking up all the time. In other words, before Windows, this function was rarely used, but now it is used all the time.
LOL! perfect foot in mouth item and then back pedaling as fast as he can ...
Have to admit it was a good one that he actually called to mind that ALT-CNTRL-DEL was used for NT Login. Still is used on Windows Server too for Login.
Correction: if you're using Windows and it keeps crashing, you're just an idiot. User error is the cause of over 9000 crashes every day, most of it has nothing to do with Windows. Or it's hardware failure. And don't say other platforms don't experience hardware failure, I'd have to kill you.
Sorry dude, but LieutenantClone is right. You might not be able to make it perfectly robust against user error, but any piece of software can have one metric of its quality be measured as its distance toward that goal of perfection. And compared to other OSs, Windows is pretty far away from that goal.
lolwat? Firefox is the fastest, most secure, AND most extensible browser to date. IE is shit, Chrom is alright, Safari sucks, and Opera is mediocre at best.
And Linux has a trash, which is comparible with the Windows recycle bin, and as for undeleting undeleting, that's a blessing. It keeps people from snooping your deleted files.
Know what you're talking about before you post next time, please.
Safari 4 is noticeably more... uncompliant than Safari 3, I agree. But as for being level with Firefox, that I disagree with. If I want firebug, noscript, and other extensions, I'll use Firefox, but since I'm on a Mac, Safari's UI feels a lot more integrated and smooth with the general Mac UI. Just a personal preference, though.
I'll check out Arora, thanks for the heads-up. I won't take your word that it has none of the security exploits of Safari, but I'll be sure to browse the source ;)
Firefox is widely known as a bloated RAM hog. If your ff is crashing "9001" times a day you either have way too many extensions running or you're just a moron. The idea that you actually think a kernel has anything to do with non-privileged applications crashing is just idiotic. FF barely even makes any system calls.
PS. "Linux" doesn't have a trash. A few of the many bullshit and unstable X managers do. Gnome/KDE have crashed on me more than FF ever has.
As someone else already said, there will /always/ be a way to break a piece of software. You're likely not experiencing user error because you know enough of computers to not break them; however, that does not make you correct or better.
By the way, I don't know why you think Firefox is the greatest, it sucks RAM like a Taiwanese hooker. And it's interface is unrefined. It lacks over 9001 features. And most secure? The instant a browser is that popular, it's going to be exploited.
Bill has absolutely no sense of humor. He's sittin' there thinking to himself, "ok well I'm just gonna' have to go ahead and release some hiv robo mosquitoes on your ass ok...thanx."
What a dummy, you dont ever tell a man like Bill gates the truth. Especially that is greatest accomplishment freezes like...... well freezes like a windows computer.
I personally love ctrl+alt+delete, simply because of how easy it is to access programs and processes that are currently running, as well as see the system resources. It makes dealing with unresponsive programs very easy, and makes controlling annoying software a bit easier.

Windows is an unstable platform. I have firefox crashing 9001 times a day on my work computer. I can't even save a goddamn file without it breaking.
And a GOOD OS resists user error. I've never experienced unstability on my Arch Linux laptop, my Sabayon/DragonflyBSD desktop, nor my Debian server.
90% of Windows' unstability is its own fault for shitty kernel coding and not resisting user error. The rest is hardware failure.
xAetherxx 2 years ago
"I have firefox crashing 9001 times a day" -- because firefox sucks.
Funny how you mention resisting user error and you bring up Linux as the example? Ironic, for an OS that has yet to implement undelete.

Safari's pretty decent, although Safari 4 still has a bunch of bugs to iron out. I prefer webkit to gecko though, so I'm quite biased ;)
oldoldoldoldold 2 years ago
Safari has almost as many bugs as IE.
It's got a long way to go before making it to be level with Firefox.
Try Arora, it's a small WebKit Browser, and wicked fast. And with none of the security exploits of Safari.

Safari, and really the Mac UI in general has always, in my opinion, felt clunky and unintuitive. [Except the dock. I fucking LOVE the dock.]
And I seriously can't browse without Ad-Block. Oh, God, I love Ad-Block.
Anyway, check Arora out, it's great for a lightweight browser. And if you're on a mac, you might want to try out Camino as well.
