And the Unix filth did it. Without moving files to trash can. And there is no way to get anything back, because WORSE IS BETTER and the the shitty Unix unlinks everything even when filesystem has enough free space. Why? Why Unix cant die and be replaced with a good OS?

Teenage *nix, you know by now, Do not feed the trolls

*nix was designed to be useful to developers. Windows was designed for users. I hope OP, you enjoy windows 8. It is leap for your future

Face it. UNIX and its spawn are useless to both developers and users. No one uses it unless they're faggots.

* Google's data centers
* Amazon's data centers

* Pixar's rendering farm
* Large Hadron Collider
* Windows Vista

Most of these things were built on *nix.

One was build on .NET.

But Google has banned use of Windows internally, while offering Apple's substantially more expensive Unix-base Macs to their employs [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/google/7792685/Google-bans-Microsoft-Windows-on-office-computers.html].

Pixar also use Mac OS X internally. As does Facebook, despite the fact that they are close business partners with Microsoft.

http://www.mcpressonline.com/operating-systems/ibm-i-os400-i5os/journal-management-on-the-as400.html
The journal receiver-the container into which OS/400 writes its journal entries-is a true audit trail: no one on the system can manually modify its contents, so there's never any question about its accuracy. You can, however, display the contents of the journal receiver anytime. Inside, you'll discover a surprising number of different types of entries, including a time stamp, a user ID, a job ID, and (if the journaled object is a database file) a picture of the actual record after it was changed. You can also configure the journal receiver to maintain a picture of the record before the record is changed.
If you ran a server that contained anything valuable, what would you rather have: OS-level file journaling that protects against accidents and malevolence, or rm -rf * .oops? No malware for either OS/400 or VMS has ever been discovered in the wild.

OS/400's journaling and VMS' Files-11 are two very different things. What they have in common are (1) they aren't pure filesystems, and (2) they both have significant computational and storage costs. As long as you're muddying the waters, why not compare Oracle DB, Volume Shadow Copy, and ext3 too.

The entire internet and the web and the whole entire infrastructure that depends on Unix is just a really big toy.
The internet depends on PHP and JavaScript too. Unix is a toy because it was designed for single-user non-networked operation, like MS-DOS. Unix ("castrated Multics") was to Multics what MS-DOS ("Quick and Dirty Operating System") was to various DEC OSes. Both are cut down toy versions of OSes that were big for their time but small by today's standards. The whole idea behind Unix and MS-DOS security is that nobody would try to attack the machine on purpose. Microsoft realized that DOS was obsolete and created Windows NT.

Here are more different things: Trash/Recycle Bin and FAT Undelete. What they all have in common are (1) ways to recover a file that has accidentally been deleted and (2) they aren't part of Unix. Ext3 journaling is more like the USN Journal which are not ways to recover files that have accidentally been deleted.

Networking was a bolt-on thing for Multics too. Not that Multics is the best example of this anyway - the canonical ARPANET OS was Tenex.

Windows NT is hobbled forever by its Win32 userspace.  The kernel is the only part of NT that's even remotely defensible. As of the 2.6 Linux kernel, there isn't even a whole lot left that's special about *that*.

Saying that Unix and MS-DOS were non-networked helps explain that they were "secure" because "nobody would try to attack the machine on purpose" when they were created. They were toy OSes, not designed for the real world of the internet and/or multiple users on one machine simultaneously. In the modern world where everything is connected to the internet and there are malware writers, Unix and MS-DOS are inadequate. ``Fixing'' a buffer overflow by writing a note in the man page doesn't work anymore.
Networking was a bolt-on thing for Multics too.
Of course, an OS created before the internet would not be expected to have ARPANET networking until it was actually invented.

Hell, even desktop Linux has a Retard Bin.

Name: Anonymous 2012-08-29 3:39

>>104-5
The Desktop Linux Retard Bins are actually superior to Windows and OSX, because Window and OSX change the icon when something is in them, almost like a notification. Instinctually, I empty the bin whenever it's ``full'' just to keep it ``clean''. Whereas on my Linux machine, there is no trash icon; I have to open Nautilus, ctrl+l, "trash:///" to even see it, so just about every file I've ever deleted on the desktop is still in there, because it isn't always in the corner of my eye begging me to delete it.

As it so happens, I've never had to recover anything from it. Ever. Because I don't delete file I want to keep. So complicated!

Wrong.

Windows inherited much of the socket API from BSD Unix.

The sad thing about the Handbook is that it still stings, just a little bit. (Whatever happened to all those theoretically wonderful, persistent, capabilities-based systems? I'd like to have one of those ``toys'' to play with sometime...)

Capabilities never made it out of academia because people are too invested in Unix and Windows. ;-; GNU was exploring how to get capabilities in Hurd. Unfortunately, multi server capability design is very difficult to do properly - just like the rest of the Hurd architecture.
