Mac OS X 10.3 vs. Linux

M.Broil writes "This is a nice and fairly complete 'first look' at Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther), but author Chris Gulker, who I happen to know was an Apple PR guy years ago, spends a lot of time comparing the Mac 'Panther' release to Linux, which he seems to use most of the time these days. He obviously likes a lot about Panther, but he doesn't think many Linux users will switch to it, and that a lot of 'Classic' Mac OS users may not want to move to it, either."

Welcome to the new alternative voice of Slashdot. Articles Slashdot won't print.

Don't like the article about Apple and Linux? Then how about reading this one instead? Even an omelette needs a little spicing up every once in a while.

And now back to the article of wackiness (with some truth sprinkled in) for your amusement:

I interrupt your daily Two-Minute Hate for something a bit more constructive. Yes we love Apple.. and we all hate Microsoft..... and Darl McBride.. boo hiss! It just makes me mad thinking about him, grrr! There, that felt better. Now that I got that out of my system, it is time for a few news items that I'm sure you'd find interesting. Just this quarter, the U.S. GDP rose to levels that are the best seen since 1984 . Yay America! Go go, you're the best, keep it up, rah rah rah! Also, I would also like to thank our Lord and Maker for George Bush who will protect us from pornography this week. Might as well look at stuff like this before the Bush administration wakes up from the hibernation mode it assumed during its war on Afghanistan (the U.S. people are freedom loving moderates, not Islamic killjoy extremists like the Taliban) and switches to full-fledge Christian foe-of-freedom fundamentalist extremism. Remember, pornography is not just about naked bodies, it's also about the grotesque. George Bush will protect you from all those smutty photos of dead Iraqis blown up by rockets for this week and forevermore. Now it's time for your government mandated daily one minute of silent reflection.. starting now.

Props out to Anti-Slash.org.
Oh yeah, and props out to Argon Vile. Your shit's the funniest.. now if only the rest of the world had balls like you.

And I think I speak for everybody when I say a nice big "Fuck you!" to all who compulsively mod down dissenters. But just in case I haven't offended enough people to get this post modded down, here are some more thoughts that the Sheeple won't dare let you debate:

• Apple's hardware is some of the most proprietary locked down machinery in existance.
• Microsoft develops software that people are actually willing to put down hard-earned cash to buy. Now, compare that to the Linux people.
• The average Linux enthusiast's main concern is that the software they use is free of cost. When's the last time any of you Linux people actually bought a distribution and not copied it from someone else?
• The RIAA produces music that people love enough to *cough* steal. Yes I know it's not really stealing because the RIAA still has a copy of the music and nothing was taken away from them and you wouldn't have paid for the music anyways. Yeah, whatever cheapskate! Americans have so much disposable income I find it hard to believe that you couldn't spare a Benjamin for the hours you will spend listening to music. Now, we may not all like Britney Spears but there are hundreds of other artists to choose from. Somebody must like to listen to at least some of it, otherwise Kazaa would be dead. The RIAA is right in sending lawsuits out to people who are caught distributing their music. And no, you aren't fighting for the little guy when you steal RIAA's stuff, you are expanding the profitability of the broadband industry and reducing the profitability of selling music. Because the broadband industry's growth thrives on filesharing, the industry must ensure that there are more files to share to keep growing. Thus, megacorporations develop such that the broadband industry subsidizes music production in order to continue the profitabil
