When I got my pc back in 208, it ran like the wind. Its a sager gaming laptop. Years of use and abuse has filled a 150gb harddrive, cluttered every inch of space, and reduced its performance for games like oblivion. If I reinstall womdows with a completely clean slate, can I expect old...

What do you use? Which do you feel is superior, generally speaking? What stereotypes do you believe to be untrue about them? I use windows computers. I think it is a superior operating system due to the availability of programs for it (especially engineering software). I have worked four...

How do I use a Unix-originated makefile on Windows Vista? Is there any simple guidelines for migrating the makefile such that it works?

I think this problem has to do with the space character inside "C:\Program Files\...": I'm trying to use g77 on Vista. The makefile I'm using is supplied by the developer (it's for MadGraph), but when I "make", this is what I get: a bunch of successful "g77 -O -i4 -c <somename>.f" lines...
