The ultimate shootout: Apple Mac OS X vs. Microsoft Windows Vista

[iMav]

reality hahahaha some 1 needs a crash course in ease of use and user friendly os ... once again congratulations prakash ... u gave the entire computing fraternity the most easiest way to cut files between drives fellow members mac has a cut option in terminal .... find the file destination, by heart it coz again finder doesnt give u the entire addrs for copying it then open terminal paste it give horribly long commands ... to do wat ... cut a file ... windows just wants u to drag the file .... prakash .... seriously man iv been on this forum for some time now .... this is the most stupid/ridiculous statement iv read .... use terminal to move files in a GUI OS

 

[infra_red_dude]

nokia cellphones are like SE ... bole toh SE and nokia are the same ... desperation

hmm... lets keep that topic as a separate thread. i'm sure it'll run into the same number of pages as this thread!

anyways, ontopic: mac os x has cut+paste option via terminal mv command. the finder has no cut option. everyone agrees to that and as to what i remember the winboys here said the same thing: finder has no cut option, which is true. i don't understand now on what topic the fight between prakash and winboys is going on??!!!

 

[iMav]

tht was an example ... ok this 1 would suit better ... htc has a fone like ifone which acc to prakash would mean tht both are same ....

Yes....reality . To move a file from one folder to another, use the terminal & command line interface.

Wow, isn't according to Mac OS X EULA & Apple, it is the most convenient OS out there. Hey arya...you are the sales...I mean Mac genius, you tell us is it convenient to use CLI to move one file to another location in Mac compared to cut or drag & drop.

Fellow members, this is how to u move a file from one folder to another in Mac OS X using CLI

1) Go to the file which you want to move to another location. Right click on that file & select Get Info, or press command+i. This will give u a file properties dialog, there U will see the path of that file. Don't close this properties Window cos you cannot copy the address shown in properties Window.

2) Now, go to the folder where you want to move that file. Select any file & right click & select "Get Info", keep this properties Window open & see the path of the file

2) Open Terminal & write this command by looking at the properties of the file to see its location.

<xyz> : mv /first location/ /2nd location

Press enter & wait. There is no notification or sign or anything that the file copy operation is over. Wait, wait wait.....when the file is copied you are given a blank terminal window again.

Wow, its so convenient to the Windows Explorer's way of Right click -> cut method or the drag & drop method of Mac OS X Finder

Just go & tell this on any Apple forum. "you should move one file from a folder to another folder using the command line as mentioned above". Then come back here & tell us how many people called u idiot, how many called u stupid & how many called u moron

@ Anirudh

We are not fighting, we are just laughing at the statement given by Prakash, lolz....even arya will laugh at this

 

[kalpik]

^^ OR you can just use drag and drop?

 

[iMav]

^^ in os x u cant ... u drag drop and then delete the file u dragged if u wanna move

 

[praka123]

sorry to burst the bubble,
In Finder,cut option can be enabled,if mac users are ready to use terminal
but it just moves the file to .trash(not uses mv) google for that.

Also is Filecutter-

FileCutter is a contextual menu plugin that brings two new file management features to the Finder context menu.
In addition to Apple's offered ability to copy and paste files, FileCutter lets you cut files before pasting, and lets you paste an alias to a copied file rather than make a duplicate file.

though i agree that finder by default dont enable cut option-that seems to be a stupid decision from mac.

Unbelievable...you guys are giving someone grief over the fact that they can't do something in GUI that your OS can do? Get over it!

How about this? How long would it take you to rebuild your OS from source code with different settings? Oh, I forgot...you Winboys can't do that =P

Mac can't either (AFAIK), since Apple closed the kernel source...

Hrmmm...who can do that? Perhaps Linux? Perhaps BSD?

What about the neutered "Command Prompt" that Windows has? Last I looked, you couldn't accomplish much of anything useful with it...Does that mean Windows is doomed to failure because people like me can't get anything done without resorting to using a bloated, overweight GUI? What about running *without* a GUI? Can Windows/Mac do that? Last I looked, I can run a Linux system without X and get complete functionality (well, ok, maybe I can't watch movies...THAT'S WHAT MY DAMNED DVD PLAYER AND TV ARE FOR!) for around 12 MB of memory usage...when was the last time EITHER Windows or Mac could do that? And don't give me the "GUI's are required" bit...they AREN'T required!

The more I read the more I'm convinced that you guys are just looking to fight...you certainly aren't looking to *prove* anything, because someone's choice of OS is independent of your opinions! If you're trying to prove that one OS is better because it's easier to use, then let's talk on the other end of the spectrum again...let's talk security! OpenBSD isn't easy to use in terms of GUI's and all, but it's MUCH easier to secure than Windows or Mac...

Oh, you can't live without your GUI? Sounds like a personal problem to me...

 

[gxsaurav]

^^ OR you can just use drag and drop?

Yes, we can. Indeed. Then go to the old location & delete the file.

We know this, we already told this 15 pages ago, still Prakash came here cos Mac OS X has DRM DRM DRM DRM DRM DRM DRM DRM

 

[iMav]

^^ we have tht extension since some time ... bubble nahin burst hua ... u just emptied a whole bucket of watter on u use terminal to move files

the title of the thread means something ... read it again ...

u hav no idea of what the mac boys made os x sound like ... we started a thread where we reviewed the os x but the truth hurt the mac boys' feelings and the thread got closed out of sheer desperation an apple saleman started this thread in an attempt to show case and highlight the flaws in his os

 

[gxsaurav]

sorry to burst the bubble,

Lolz...Hey, iMav.....didn't u posted file cutter in the other thread like 1 month ago. Sorry Prakash you are late.

@ Rocket,

Linux, BSD. Yo, this thread is about Mac OS X & Windows Vista. There security & ease of use. Why r u bringing Linux/BSD in here? We are not discussing that here

And don't give me the "GUI's are required" bit...they AREN'T required!

Holey f***, Good luck making a spreadsheet, Powerpoint presentation, Photoshop painting using Command Line. You are actually telling us to go to 1994 , you really are stupid.

OpenBSD isn't easy to use in terms of GUI's and all, but it's MUCH easier to secure than Windows or Mac...oh, you can't live without your GUI? Sounds like a personal problem to me...

abe security ka achchar dalun if it can't play a porn movie

P.S. - You know Hindi?

 

[rocket357]

the title of the thread means something ... read it again ...

I see the title...I'm not talking about this specific thread!

All you guys want to do is argue with each other. That's it. There's nothing going on here other than "Windows this" and "Linux that" and "Mac this"...

Sigh...

This has got to be the most closed-minded group of people I've ever had the displeasure of knowing. Seriously...get over yourselves! There's no truth floating around here other than "Winboys got a posse that can talk smack" and "Macboys run for cover when the sh!t hits the fan", etc..

Edit - have fun playing with each other...Peace...I gotta get to some intelligent conversation before I lose it haha

And we wan to talk & discuss about Windows Vista vs Mac OS X in this Fight club thread. So....there's the door. Seriously, Linboys don't belong here. We are not talking about security here, so BSD doesn't belong here. Which means you don't belong here. Plz leave the thread

Man, one last comment then I'll leave you guys to your debate...

All I'm getting at is doesn't it EVER get old running through the same "Windows sucks because of Microsoft" and "Mac can't cut files in GUI" stuff? You said so yourself that the topic was brought up a month ago! And here it is, you're still pursuing this train of thought.

Just curious...but whatever. Go argue about your GUI's a bit more.

aah rocket.. you are new here.. welcome to thinkdigit... a forum to discuss err.. fight about.. apple.. mac...windows.. linux..drm.. and nothing else.. everyone has their rocket launchers ready to fire on the other... people boast about the OS of their choice coz not everyone uses it.. then people install OS' so that they can simply bash.. then again people fight about something which will hardly affect them in anyway.. yet behave as if its their 'life support system'!! well initially there were const. critisisms.. but now its like kids fighting over chocs... seems extremely silly now.. whatever be the topic... but don't worry.. you'll get used to it!! welcome again

 

[gxsaurav]

Well, I think you should have a look at some of the pages in this thread in which we posted about 24 flaws of Mac OS X in just 2 weeks of using it.

Oh wait, u didn't see those, right?

See, we are doing just one thing. From the time Andy got Mac in this forum he has been praising them. Arya bought his Macbook & became a sales man. Goobi,well he became a Designer macboy. Nepcker....well, his stupidity is well known when he tried to insert a Intel XEON CPU in Core 2 duo socket trying to prove that Mac Pro can be upgraded, or better yet, when he compared ACDSee 1.6 released in 2001 to iPhoto 6. :d

However no one mentioned these flaws of Mac OS X ever in this forum & were always trying to show the good of Mac OS X. Come on, Mac OS won't even let u resize a Window from any side, just from the south east corner. You still call this GUI good?

This thread was silent, until prakash decided to pwn himself.

@ anirudh

nah, i prefer BFG10K. Hai koi mac ka lal ....mu ha hahahahahah

Oh wait, Mac has no games, so I better define what BFG10K is.

 

[infra_red_dude]

....so BSD doesn't belong here.

of corz it does... darwin is a derivative of bsd!

 

[iMav]

gx its our fault that we decided to point out a few features of the OS X ... infra we reviewed the OS point by point the mac boys turned it into and ego issue ... we just played the ball as it rolled coz we knew after using the os x where it stood as compared to windows in terms of prodcutivity and ease of use

 

[gxsaurav]

Yo...dude, we are not talking about kernel in this thread. You think darwin = BSD kernel? Look again, Darwin is more like BSD kernel, remade for Apple Mac OS X.

BSD Kernel is not exactly equal to Darwin kernel, it is a derivative & highly stripped for use in Mac specific things. You cannot make a BSD system using Darwin kernel.

 

[iMav]

hey gx look at the design and ui of darwin its so cool
