      yeah well it got from "3" to "2" in 5 minutes, and then from "2" to "-1" in 5 seconds. i guess that's what they call the ``editor bitchslap``. either that or a rat must be crawling on tacos keyboard again.

      but guess what, my karma can't go any higher than it already is! that's right, slashdot staff fails it!

    Way to be fucking gay; listen asshat, this whole comedy thing isn't that easy. Stop attempting it. What the fuck is a baster? I mean, you want to bust the original poster for mentioning 12 year old software and somehow imply that they were referring to 12 year old children, which makes no sense but then you make a fucking typo in your post you stupid faggot. FUCK YOU!! You could have done a little better with a joke like, "What do you want with the Barbie Makeover game?", implying that the 12 year old software is referring to software designed for 12 year olds, but even that is a stretch. Get a fucking life you cock-smoker.

    False, at least from a technical standpoint (I don't care about sales numbers, I care about getting work done). I write xplat Win/MacOS software, and this is not the case. 10.0.4 sucked, but 10.2.n has been a breath of fresh air.

    If even .5 of Apple's "It'll just run faster" claims are true, my back-ordered dual CPU G5 will be worth it.

    (gotta run, Timbuktu tells me that the .NET compiler hung my Windows box trying to clean a build again...)

  8. Mac Zealots and their mod points by Cornflake917 · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I've been browsing the comments of this article with points boosted for flamebait and trolls. Almost all the flamebait/troll posts are people merely saying "I can get what I want for a cheaper price" or "The new Mac is too expensive for me."

    WTF!? Why are these comments being modded down? They are just opinions. I know that most of you disagree with that opinion but it doesn't make them a troll. It seems like no one can get away with saying something negative about Macs around here. These type of posts get modded down faster than racist or religously offensive posts. I think this is rediculous. I've had/used Macintoshes since I was in 5th grade, and I think they are quality products. But there's no need to start a holy war for them. Please save your mod points for something more useful.

    Dear Apple,
    I am a homosexual. I bought an Apple computer because of its well earned reputation for being "the" gay computer. Since I have become an Apple owner, I have been exposed to a whole new world of gay friends. It is really a pleasure to meet and compute with other homos such as myself. I plan on using my new Apple computer as a way to entice and recruit young schoolboys into the homosexual lifestyle; it would be so helpful if you could produce more software which would appeal to young boys. Thanks in advance.

    with much gayness,

    Father Randy "Pudge" O'Day, S.J.
