OS-tan theories and disscusion

[Smokey]

New Jersey sounds like my kinda' place

[Bella]

OMG,... now that's what I call "deep thinking". @v@

*hippie impersonation*

Yeah, man...even I blew my own mind with that observation...

Nah, I just think too much

So you could almost say that UNIX-sama and Linux-sama....... might as well be soul mates of sorts? ^____^

You said it, not me...but I guess you could look at it that way. ^////^

But I imagine this kind of connection between the two has got to get on some of the Unixes' nerves...either by making them really jealous that this "stranger" is getting more attention from Unix-sama than some of her children, as would be the case with SCO-chan; or peeved that someone as benevolent...and even innocent...as Linux-sama would be so kindred with Unix-sama, who has a much darker past, as I think Plan 9-san would view it...

Then there'd be the occasional Linux-tan who's envious, like Slackware-chan. She is the most Unix-ish-y after all, and all she gets is the way of attention is the occasional whack upside the head.

So different yet so much alike, bridging past and present, and living out eachother's lives while striving for a common future... I reckon Carl Jung would have a field day with this.... -v-

...I'm the one having a field day here! A field day out at a maple farm collecting sap, that is!

Both command respect, but very different degrees of it. UNIX-sama you respect because you FEAR her and what she can do to you. Linux-sama you respect because she INSPIRES you to be more than what you feel you're fated to be.

Technically-speaking, Linux-sama's respect should be more prone to abuse -- in practice, though, the drive is so deep it often reaches theocratic proportions (aka, religious zeal), which as history shows can be underestimated at one's own peril.

Exactly.

At this rate, it won't be long before she suspends you over a vatch of noxious chemicals (Jersey-style).

Woohoo! We finally got C-Chan to make a Unix/New Jersey joke!

New Jersey sounds like my kinda' place

Ah, makes me think of my time in Northern New Jersey...

I once visited some friends there for a few days...we only got to visit New York City once, but the rest of the time was spent touring the countryside, taking in the local culture. Contrary to popular belief, the state isn't one whole toxic waste site...Where we were, there are lot of suburbs, as well as acres and acres of plant nurseries ^_^

[Smokey]

Well, i was told never to believe everything i hear, but i actually meant the new york/new jersey attitude...

[Toki]

An OS-tan with a bronx attitude?! o.o

[Smokey]

Hihi, yeah...

[ShinzuiUindo]

      *eyes burning* It hurts!
Here is a black-haired version, (but I prefer brown) and you can clearly see that it's not about the color. Take a closer look at the head. OMG that's totally not XP-tan! *sigh* Oh well. This is my first non-SND styled sprite edit after all.
btw the posture (if that's the english word for it) is from here:

[Smokey]

Yeah, you're right, brown does look better...

And, Posture/Pose/Stance, who cares...

[NejinOniwa]

Hm. If you find an Asakura sprite, that might be a good try to edit...

[ShinzuiUindo]

I've downloaded Asakura for mugen, but to extract a sprite from it I must figure out how to open a .GCA file.

[NejinOniwa]

meh

Added after 29 seconds:

(didn't care much and had nothing to little to say)

[C-Chan]

Fufufu... Guess the conversation about the XP-tan fighting game sprite oozed out of its home thread.  ^v^;

But no matter cause it's very neat, and besides that comprises "game theory".  ^___^;

You said it, not me...but I guess you could look at it that way. ^////^

Awww, how sweet.  ^///^
Reminds me of the cosplay idea I had for Fried Chicken Linux-tan and Abraxis-tan:

Oh it's far worse,...

Most of the time it's BOTH issues that plague many an arrogant UNIX descendant. However, there's also a bit of paranoia mixed in too.  Some believe that Linux-sama's charm and the rise of the Linux-tans is one coordinated "Red Scare"-style conspiracy to destroy the remainder of the Family. Others believe UNIX-sama has grown old and senile, and in desperate need of being dethrowned (by force if necessary).  ^^'

Sadly, in the world of *Nix, politics is more complicated than a Honeywell Kitchen Computer, and is rife with intrigue, plots, unholy alliances, and infighting up the wazoo....  ^^;

Then there'd be the occasional Linux-tan who's envious, like Slackware-chan. She is the most Unix-ish-y after all, and all she gets is the way of attention is the occasional whack upside the head.

Case in point, the Linux-tans have evolved their own left-leaning versions of intrigue, plots, unholy alliances, and infighting.  The Novell, Linspire and Xandros sell-out is just the tip of the iceberg.  ^^;

Please treat me to some pancakes some time.  ^.^

Oh come on, that BARELY qualifies as a cliche.  -v-;

I've done the same, so I can vouch that New Jersey really is 90% woodland, greenspace, and pre-Sprawl era suburbs.  Even comparing the transit system of the NYC metropolitan area with that of the Port Authority and Hudson County transit light rail, the former is in a putrid state of decay, while the latter is a vision of relative cleanliness and efficency (emphasis on 'relative').  

However, NJ does have a problem with its water system due to the legacy of its chemical and watefront manufacturing industry.  In fairness, NYC has a similar problem (drinking water straight from the adjacent rivers is insanity), but has managed to mask that by importing water from the Catskill mountain area in northern New York.

This is why it's been able to get away with claiming some of the "healthiest tap water" in the country, although like many other things that's been slowly changing for the worst in recent years (admittedly, due more to the aging infrastructure).  

[Smokey]

What'd ya expect?
NY is a huuuge metropolitan area wich has a insane building density...
Try digging a hole in a random place in downtown NY, you'll find the ground to be filled up with, well....basically anything but dirt...

Nice job! Looks like XP-san is about to kick some arse.

Awww, how sweet. ^///^

I can't see that picture, darn

Yeah, that sounds like something the more old school Unixes would think...

And then there's the occasional Unix-tan who thinks that they can get into greater favor with Unix-sama by being more like Linux-sama...which I believe would be Solaris-san's attitude (of course, under the guise of having had a great epiphany).

Case in point, the Linux-tans have evolved their own left-leaning versions of intrigue, plots, unholy alliances, and infighting. The Novell, Linspire and Xandros sell-out is just the tip of the iceberg. ^^;

I know! I bet there's all sorts of infighting between the libre types, the gratis types, the M$-huggers, etc, etc.

Please treat me to some pancakes some time. ^.^

Now now, Maple can be used on all sorts of foods...maple cookies, maple milk, maple-glazed salmon, maple oatmeal...

Mmmm...maple....

Oh come on, that BARELY qualifies as a cliche. -v-;

Give me time, I'll become one. Lawl.

Hey, another person who doesn't buy into those bad NJ stereotypes

Hah! That's the word i was looking for! Stereotypes!

Fufufu... well I've been to Toronto, Chicago and the like and they're several orders of magnitude cleaner.   o_o
Granted they're smaller and newer cities and likely not tied down with the same level of beaurocracy, but I've always reckoned that the state of any city (or any town, village or hamlet) is a direct reflection of the mindset of its people.  Mexico City, for instance, feels like a city that people gave up on decades ago.

Oh now, the last thing you need is to turn into Linux-sama's personal punching bag.  Is it your lot in life to get hounded by every living, breathing OS-tan?  ^v^'

*imagines Amiga-sama throwing Amy at Bella*  ^^;

And then there's the occasional Unix-tan who thinks that they can get into greater favor with Unix-sama by being more like Linux-sama...which I believe would be Solaris-san's attitude (of course, under the guise of having had a great epiphany).

Riiiiiiiiiiiight,... an epiphany....  ^///^

*chort chortle snicker snicker*

I feel bad for Solaris-sama.... I mean, she tries and all, and used to be cutting edge stuff.... But now she can't shake off the impression of being a wannabe.  ^____^'

And now she gets no respect,... I mean, come on!  She has miniature versions of herself using her morning coffee as their personal jakoozees!  ^v^;

I know! I bet there's all sorts of infighting between the libre types, the gratis types, the M$-huggers, etc, etc.

You'd be surprised how much trouble that "Free as in Beer" among the more,... literal-minded Linux-tans.  ^v^;

Now now, Maple can be used on all sorts of foods...maple cookies, maple milk, maple-glazed salmon, maple oatmeal...

Mmmm...maple....

Well,... as long as we're not including maple-glazed prok, I'm on.  ^___^

*opens maw to await insertion of some random tasty food item*  ^0^
