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

  • 9 months later...

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.

    • I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years
    • Hello, Paul. Thanks for the editorial. It was interesting. I'm going research more into the app and its concept. Of course, if you know me at all, you know that I'd say your articles needs some editing! I a;ways do, don't I? For instance, the article occasionally mentions a concept before defining it, e.g., relays.
    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.
