If I can find some kind of STABLE OS, I hope to become proficient in
Photoshop to augment my photography. work. I'm just tired of having to
hack everything to get the damn think to work and that until the next
upgrade.
There should be a standard FORCED upon developers to use a uniform
method of writing code, not whatever fits their particular fancy, As
long as every guy can write his/her own code in their particular manner,
its going to full of incompatibilities (bugs) and it will not run with
any consistency. Work arounds, PERL and shell programming languages are
just stop gap measurers to make the stuff run and lead to compatibility
programs. The bueaty of UNIX is it is a kernel, inividual programs that
do one thing and do it well tied together with scripts. Modern OS
structure is a bunch of spaghetti code trying to do everything for
everyone and not doing anything very well. Mickey$oft is a great
example; those clown know the use of malloc but have never heard of
free. Nuff said.
