Install Slash on Mac OS X

bcapps2012 writes "I just saw this on Slashcode.com and thought it would be of interest to many apple.slashdot.org readers. Pudge has gotten Slashcode installed on Mac OS X. As jwachter notes: 'For those of you who haven't been following the issue of how to get slash running on OS X, various Slashcode posters have been asking how to get it done for roughly 2 or 3 years now (essentially since the first preview of OS X was released).' Finally Mac OS X has joined the family."

    isnt it a little self-serving to post a story about a story posted on another website written by you?

    Most OSX users are retards who can't use computers (hey, they can only handle one mouse button). It's easy for competent people, but remember we are talking about artists and homosexuals here...

    I don't want to start a holy war here, but what is the deal with you Mac fanatics? I've been sitting here at my freelance gig in front of a Mac (a 8600/300 w/64 Megs of RAM) for about 20 minutes now while it attempts to copy a 17 Meg mp3 from one folder on the hard drive to an ipod. 20 minutes. At home, on my Pentium Pro 200 running NT 4, which by all standards should be a lot slower than this Mac, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. If that.

    In addition, during this file transfer, Netscape will not work. And everything else has ground to a halt. Even BBEdit Lite is straining to keep up as I type this.

    I won't bore you with the laundry list of other problems that I've encountered while working on various Macs, but suffice it to say there have been many, not the least of which is I've never seen a Mac that has run faster than its Wintel counterpart, despite the Macs' faster chip architecture. My 486/66 with 8 megs of ram runs faster than this 300 mhz machine at times. From a productivity standpoint, I don't get how people can claim that the Macintosh is a superior machine.

    Mac addicts, flame me if you'd like, but I'd rather hear some intelligent reasons why anyone would choose to use a Mac over other faster, cheaper, more stable systems.

      Jeez... Who modded this a troll? Sorry if it came off that way, I am a big OS X fan (which anyone who bothered to check all my other posts before modding me a troll would have seen!), and was actually trying (perhaps badly) to make fun of all the Apple's are for Fags trolls. Oh, and I am a fag so I guess I should be able to make fag jokes if anyone should.

      So really sorry if this came off as a troll, I really do think Pudge's success is laudable!

      Lord Dallan,
      Apple using fag and proud of it

      Dear Mr Trovalds,

      I am a homophobic sexually impotent Geek with no life. I have no real skills because I spend all of my time in chat rooms playing video games and lying about my non-existent sex life with other homophobic sexually repressed geeks. Before Linux came around I was classified as a totally useless waste of human skin, with no skills or abilities. Now that Linux is popular a whole new world of completely useless sexually repressed homophobic have been opened up to me, we can do things like bash windows, RIAA, DMCA, and any other organization that does not think the way we do. Mr. Trovalds, there is a very bad thing that has happened, the other OS company Apple has come out with a product, Its UNIX based, highly engineered, and worst of all it actually does something. At this point all we can do is use our homophobia and sexually impotent ignorance to bash apple as the "gay computer" but this isn't working that well, we really need some kind of new ammunition. Since we have the IQ of a brain damaged lemming we are a little out of sorts, please help us maintain our sexually repressed homophobic sexual pseudo superiority or we will have to go back to jacking off in the bushes in front of high schools.

      No, I'm a real life gay man who was making fun of said homophobes. I am also very sorry that I did a bad job of it. My intention was certainly not to offend.

    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.
