The war of desktop searchers
01.06.2005
First was Google, with his Google Desktop Search. I used it for some weeks, and was not bad, but when it was needed I didn't found what I was looking for, basicly because only search some specific kind of files. Uninstalled. Then I tried the one of M$ Windows Desktop Search. Everything was more integrated (obviously), and I was able to search more kind of files and the preview of the files was cool as well, was very similar to Apple's Spotlight. But somehow, the HardDisk is always scratching. It says "Windows Search will only search when your computer is Idle". Is it idle when I am watching a DVD? Uninstalled. Technology is a bitch. I'll sort my stuff. Oh! and also I hate the bloody ".DS_Store" files!

UPDATE: Uninstalling the MSN Search Toolbar just stops at 1/4. Very professional of you M$.

That war is making everything very silly.

Me uno a la guerra contra los .DS_Store files y los thumbs.db y toda la mierda de ficheros inútiles que generan los sistemas operativos... habría que matarles a todos!!!

no.. si Windows tiene el thumbs.db, pero por lo menos lo ves tu mismo y lo puedes borrar, tambien puedes hacer que no lo cree.

Pero archivos como ._.VolumeIcon.icns, .DS_Store, .VolumeIcon.icns .. el usuario de Mac no los ve, pero ahi estan.. consumiendo 22kbytes cada uno.

Teniendo en cuenta como es el S.O. no me extrañaria que hubiera alguna forma de que se borrasen... otra cosa es las consecuencias que genere esa acción...

jeje ya lo averigue, pero no se pueden desactivar, aunque se pueden borrar sin problemas (ya se encargara el de volver a crearlos XD)

Is not that I don't care about what you have to say, of course I do, but they are speaking louder and I lost my patience :(
