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.

    • Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
    • Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
    • I made a new Cinematic/Trailer for the game, this will be the intro, still a work in progress!  I also updated the Steam page with a ton of new screenshots! 👀 https://store.steampowered.com/app/3925340/Incoherence_Dark_Rooms/
