XP and Vista are even MORE scrooched in that they've added another layer of "rotsa ruck." It's called "not responding" and is definitely windows being hosed. Here, windows now pings a running program every x amount of seconds. If you TOUCH it while it's busy in an uninterruptable thread (heavy calcs) then windows will pop up a "not responding" making you think the proggie's died (sometimes it really has) when it actually hasn't.Ah, the "you are drawing way too complicated a subway map for your hardware" message! My interpretation of that one is "for fuck's sake, hit CTRL-S". But at least stupid messages like that are better than the way some crashes happen in Linux -- like the one I managed when I input rather too much data (thankfully from various files) into Google Earth and it just disappeared -- POW! (And incidentally that's how I noticed the really stupid thing about how Google Earth is written -- it's a shove everything into memory and save settings on exit program, which is a really great recipe for losing tons of data.) |
