Apple's core user base sustained them through the dark years of the '90s, and we're certainly capable of keeping them afloat again. You Johnnies-come-lately can go right ahead and switch back to Dell hardware. Don't let the door hit you.

These guys installing OS X on their PCs make me sick. What do they hope to accomplish? It won't make them stylish, fashionable, or aesthetically intuitive, it won't liberate them or make them creative, and it certainly won't make them as beautiful or interesting as we old-school Mac users. You can't change who you are. You can't polish a turd. As the saying goes: Once a PC user, always a PC user.

Damn right. No true Mac user would be caught dead toting a PC.

Once a PC user, always a PC user. After years of careful study, it is now known that while one's personality may determine his or her choice of OS, the reverse is never the case. In other words, nothing can rob these happy souls of their superior creativity, intellect, and style--but then neither, alas, can anything be done to rescue people like these from eternal virginity. No matter how much time they spend in Mac OS X, Darwin, FreeBSD, or Pianos, they are doomed to live as shadows among men. The more fortunate among us should mourn them--for theirs, truly, are the lives of the never-been. It is nature's cruel will.

HD-DVD's fate was sealed the moment Apple endorsed Blu-ray. Everyone knows that Apple and its users lead where others follow.

I've got friends who swear by those pads they use in diners to take your order. Alternatively, I think this guy can point you in the right direction.

I was thinking of winamp avs myself. Was reminded of fÜk - afterburner remix.avs, it has all the terrain generated by music.

Uhm, yes?

At least you got the right city.

Pah! What is this? We aren't just some "other people"--we're the smartest, most creative, fashionable, and beautiful people on the planet. Certainly we make butt-scratching troglodytes out of the average Win/IE user. In my humble estimation, then, we Mac users are more entitled than anyone to copyright protection. The Copyright Office should be ashamed.

This makes no sense. Don't those boneheads realize that Win/IE users aren't likely to create anything of value? In my experience, the creative ones tend to be Mac users. And everyone knows that no self-respecting Mac user would touch IE with a fifty-foot feather.

Bah. The whole thing makes me sick.

129 comments when I start to write this post, and it doesn't look like anyone paid much attention to what this guy has done. Read his description: "Being a Linux Zealot, this is the first time I've actually seen it, but I've obviously heard lots about it. So, I think, lets see what Microsoft makes of a Linux box then.....

clicketyclick. copy-paste-code. clicketyclick.

What copy-n-paste code? I've done WGA tons of times, and I never had to enter any codes?! Then, if you look at his screenshot (here), you will see a dialog box that says "Copy and paste or type this code into the dialog box in Step 2. Then click Validate. Once the code has been accepted, close this Window." Very unusual. It seems to me that he's doing something sneaky. I've never had to do anything with WGA, as stated before, much less enter any codes. Why has no one else noticed this?

Am I paranoid? Yep.

Boo.com was a beauty/fashion portal, wasn't it? What on earth were they thinking? I'd say old-school Mac users are at least as fashionable as most PC users, not to mention a damn sight easier on the eyes.
