/jp/ - Otaku Culture

it must hurt to be holding that buzzsaw in her hand like that

>>9938503
Looks like it already took a few fingers too.

I guess that's their only hope of ever selling this piece of shit.

in the end... it's true that, as was rumored, Windows 8 had the neccesary components to run XBOX 360 games?

I used XP for 9 years; I feel I've barely gotten started with 7.

>>9938525

No.

That's nice.

Now where the heck's my Windows 7 /Sweet Memory/ wallpapers and other fun goodies? Nanami is better than either of these uninspired sluts.

Why does Japan like non-free software so much?

>>9938579

Piracy is actually somewhat illegal there.

>>9938579
They can't into programming, so the amount of Japanese documentation for free software tends to go towards 0%. Coupled with Japan's inability to into English, this effectively prevents large-scale deployment.

>>9938583

I don't think you understand...

>>9938583
Free as in freedom not free as in gratis.

>>9938497
So is there a pirated version of this yet?

>>9938579
Rich people love expensive things.

I don't think Japan's tendency toward proprietary software is anything unusual. Though I'm still blindsided by how lax they are with standards. Most every online DL store I've used has relied on some pointless ActiveX control downloader that silently fails in Firefox without telling you what is going on.

I used to think the conversations about Japanese websites being stuck in the 90s were just stylistic complaints, but it seems like they lag a decade behind on everything.

>>9938566
I’m STILL using XP.
One day I will have enough money to buy two modern computers, on one I’ll put Win 7. Or Win 8 I guess?

And they better stay like this for as long as I live.

Anyone translation please.

I have no idea what he is talking about. Thanks for the translation thouhg, weeaboo.

>>9938591
There's a whole Japanese Gentoo documentation; it's full http://www.gentoo.org/doc/ja/index.xml

But you're right - English is not my native language either, if I didn't know it the way I do now, I wouldn't be able to move comfortably around the *nix world.

VistaはクソOSでなかった、というと必ず「いやクソだ」て人が出るんだけど

translate it, dweeblords

WINDOWS 8 A SHIT

a grat beat one

Did they at least fix the problem with images and folders? You know, the problem that you can't sort them by hand.

>>9938956
少なくともこのスレでは英語はなせよ。そんなに日本語使いたいなら他のス
レいくか、２ちゃんにでもいってろ

You should write in english on this thread. If you write in Japanese by any means, go out here and post that on 2chan.

>>9938974
In summary, Although there are many people who say Vista is rubbish, it is actually not bad.

>>9938737
I was wondering what "reishisuto" meant...

Why can't I stop laughing?

i only switched to 7 from XP for the system sound mixer. it has more quality-of-life problems than improvements, though. windows 8 is probably a shit.

>>9938988
I just want to be able to have libraries that don't go and section the folders off by drive. It defeats the whole point.

>>9938613
It's not about being rich but being intelligent.

>>9939029
But being materialistic is the opposite of being intelligent.

You're just a voluntary slave to your possessions.

>>9938956

「Vista wasn't a shit OS. But that said, there necessarily people claiming "this is terrible shit. There was probably some kind of religion telling people Vista was bad. Somehow I remember that from when XP came out. At that time since 256MB was a lot, it was claimed that "XP is bloated".」

>>9938999

I think it would be cool if more Japanese people posted here in Japanese, but it's usually a burden to tell them apart from copypasta and regular Western posters trying to troll, so people don't bother to respond.

Honestly, I just don't see why I would want to upgrade, rumors are floating around saying that it's backdoored which I honestly wouldn't doubt, it would explain why it's cheaper then Microsoft's other operating systems, why as much effort wasn't put into it and why they're handing out free upgrades, yet still keeping the piece of shit closedsource so I'm not going back to "big daddy" Microsoft, I'll stay here with my Debian installation.

>>9938497
fuck all these comments about language vista or open source shit.
Question what the fuck those tissues are for in the op image???

>>9938629

This is my dream before I die.

>>9939216
That makes me ill

>>9939216
XDDDDDDDDDDDDD
MY SIDESSSSS


Really, my sides hurt from looking at this disgusting pile of grease.

>>9939053

Why would we want some japanese talking in a language that the great majority of /jp/s population can't understand.

I can approve of one thread in which Japanese can be used but not in every thread or the comunication will become a mess.

anyway, there are a lot of persons from all over the world here and english is the common language because every one of us have basic knowledge of it. Why can't the japanese make an effort to learn it if they really want to post on this board?

>>9938685
meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

>>9939229
Which language do you think is otaku culture?
English?

>>9939216
They should have really tried that in America.

>>9938623
I wouldn't mind if it was the good part of the 90s. Clean HTML 4.0/4.01, for example. But instead we get spacer GIFs, Java applets, Flash, and websites made entirely out of tables or images. I seriously don't give a fuck about the "semantic web" or "content over presentation" or whatever. If I see a website and it looks fine but it's poorly put together, I don't care (Hacker News is a good example, half the hipsters there would have a fit if they checked its source). Unfortunately, the Japanese web is outdated, poorly designed, and an eyesore to look at.

Someone needs to launch some proper Japanese documentation on how to write HTML and CSS. There's already a W3C/HTML5 Japanese Interest Group:
http://www.w3.org/html/ig/jp/
They could draw cute little girls with speech bubbles that tell users <marquee> is bad, and that people should be using an excess of <div>s instead of an excess of <td>s.

>>9939234

Go to 2chan then.

>>9939254
Don't you mean Futaba Channel or 2channel, you baka gaijin? "2chan" appears in a bunch of URLs, but it's no website I've ever heard of.

>>9939254
I can't post there.

>>9939241
>They could draw cute little girls with speech bubbles that tell users <marquee> is bad, and that people should be using an excess of <div>s instead of an excess of <td>s.
This is a good idea

>>9939211
those are shopping bags

>>9939241
>spacer GIFs, Java applets, Flash and websites made entirely out of images.
But those are normal even on major western websites. Tables not so.

I do agree that some popular japanese websites like, oh I don't know, futaba and its derivatives like yotsuba? Those are objectively goddamn ugly and some even still use things like frames!

>>9939319
>But those are normal even on major western websites.
Save Flash, they've gotten pretty rare.

>I do agree that some popular japanese websites like, oh I don't know, futaba and its derivatives like yotsuba? Those are objectively goddamn ugly and some even still use things like frames!
Maybe you're being sarcastic but I think those are actually fairly decent designs, if only because they're more text-driven rather than having images and shit all over the place.

they should have put an onahole inside, this way, the sales would be satisfactory enough

Is it just me or the officialy created Os-tans aren't really all that popular?

There was so little fanart of Madobe Nanami.

I wish my PC stuff came in cute packages with cute girls on them ;_;

>>9939486
Stop being so beta.

>>9939518

>beta

You know all this time I don't even know what this means and just ignored the word so I had to look it up. I fear when I get older that I'll move further away from trendy internet lingo.

Thinking of upgrading to Windows 8 because I am a masochist. Does VNs work fine on it?

>>9939567
Bitch if you're so masochistic why don't you go and install Gentoo?

>>9939216
I haven't been to Mcdonald's in 5 months, you have no idea how delicious that looks right now.

>>9939656
Mcdonald's is garbage and you should feel like garbage for thinking otherwise.

>>9938629
Windows 7 and 8 run better on older computers than Windows XP.

>>9939450
Memes don't work the way marketers want them to. If they're not adopted naturally, people won't care about them. The OS-tans represent the love and ideas of hundreds of creative people working together. Madobe Nanami is just Microsoft's shallow attempt to cash in on the same idea.

>>9938956
Vista was perceived as terrible because 1.) it wasn't resource efficient like 7, so it required better hardware to run, and 2.) it wasn't sold with better hardware [on prebuilt computers in stores]. So people ended up with something that ran like shit.

>>9939753
> Windows 7 [...] run[s] better on older computers than Windows XP.

Pentium 4 3.00 GHz, 1024 MB RAM, GeForce 6800 GS here. You are lying. I've disabled all services and I'm using the classic theme with no animations or extras, it's slow as fuck. Just poking around the operating system's applications is unresponsive and time consuming compared to Windows XP.

Fortunately, Debian runs like a charm.

>>9939765
That is not to say it didn't have real problems, but I think that's the most common experience that people had with it.

>>9939777
Isn't it odd that in English, if you want to say one thing runs, you would say "Windows 7 runs" with an "s" on runs, but if you say two things run, you would say "Windows 7 and 8 run" without an "s". Fucking English.

>>9939792
How is the hat odd?

>>9939777
Many people have been able to run it on older hardware with good results. If you meet the requirements it should work. If it doesn't you are an exception.

>>9939802
Because an "s" in many situations denotes that something is plural. If you're talking about a singular thing running, you use the "s," but if it is a plurality of things running, you don't use the "s." It's backwards from what you would expect logically.

>>9939792
>>9939818
In the early days of the printing press, the letter "s" was the most likely to get caught, so they had to balance out the number of "s"es (this is also why the long "s", "ſ", was created).
The idea was you had an "s" quota, and one of the solutions was to balance out the number of "s"es that you used. So you could have, "The dog runs," or, "The dogs run," but never, "The dogs runs," because that would cause the machine to get stuck.

>>9939857
lol what a nerd

Theme upload where?
