Got bored, Come watch OS X own all :D


Recommended Posts

i tried 1337x on Vista .. only did 1054 tough :x

Ps .. the Word one doesn't count as it uses an shared subsystem .. doesn't (really) matter how many you open...

(Again .. MS Office 2007 ftw ^^)

Notepad.exe sucks tough haha.

ps .. this is really useless @ 3:41AM haha

I have something better :p

Thats basically how I run my macbook 24/7 :p

Anyway I gave it a shot.

Expose didnt work :(

It would have been awesome to see this in Spaces with Expose, but none of it worked, damn GMA950.

For some reason my macbook will NEVER use more then 1.5gb RAM... I have 2gb total and ALWAYS 500gb is either free or inactive, with all that stuff running, that normal? :huh:

very nice, my vista crashes (right click stops working, cant open folders, etc) when i open 30 IE tabs

Crashes for 30 tabs on IE :|

lol, I run about 4 Safari windows with about 15-20 tabs on each (one window on each space, for different purposes) and I will get ****ed off if it happens to crash after about 9 days uptime (it has crash like this once :( )

Guys seriously, this is the Mac discussion, make your own thread :D

Seriously, if you didn't want people trying this on other OS's, you shouldn't have baited Windows/Linux users in the thread title.

Speaking of which, I'm not sure how the Windows taskbar would handle such a preposterous number of windows. Running this number of applications is not really a good benchmark of OS performance seeing as how it's so far out of the realm of standard use cases. There are no real world scenarios where a Mac OS X user would want 1000+ windows open. That being said, it is impressive that the underlying memory management and GUI subsystems are robust enough to handle this meany open applications.

XP and Vista group multiple windows from the same app by default if you have too many windows making it an Leopard stack-like presentation (just not flow-ey and stuff)

I know, but then it pops out a menu...with 1000 items..., i'm just not sure how it would handle it that's all. Tell you what though, I have more faith in Vista being able to do it than XP, that's for sure. The DWM is a lot more robust than the GDI engine.

Can someone tell me how to/or make a script/automation that will open 10,000 textedit windows? Wana try it on this Mac Pro :D

I already posted one back on page 1 which everyone seemed to miss and do this tedious task the hard way. Being able to start 1000 processes by pressing 1000 keys is something even the first computers could do :sleep:

1) I wasnt baiting, I was stating a fact

2) It's not a benchmark, it's boredum, if I really wanted to I could have made a really simple app that does nothing in XCODE and opened that 1million times

Sorry to revivie such an ancient thread people, but now that I have a PC I'd like to mess around a bit and build a script that'll open 10,000 Notepad files, I've got 8GB of RAM, so why not.

However if I'm to build a simple batch script like:

cd C:\Windows\
notepad.exe
notepad.exe
notepad.exe

It'll only open one instance at a time, anyone know of a way around this?

start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe 
start notepad.exe && start notepad.exe

... and so forth. Tested with Windows Vista SP1 32-bit on a P4 2.8GHz/1GB RAM/Intel Graphics. I got up to ~800 total processes before I stopped it.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
