Choosing Parallels Over BootCamp for OS X
juusan writes "Sysadmin Jeremy Randall outlines his installation and impressions of Parallels for Mac OS X. Is it better than BootCamp? Does it run succesfully on a Mac Mini? Does it pass the scrutiny of a fairly picky system administrator? Yes indeed, on all counts."
That's funny. I'm running about 10 different applications right now, and when idle, I get an average CPU usage of less than 1% (only thing that was taking any measurable CPU time at all was Gaim, if you're curious). It's interesting how Windows on Slashdot always tends to be 10 times worse than when I ever use it.
People who are forced to use a particular operating system because they feel a need to use applications that are not available on any other operating system are addicts.
How we know is more important than what we know.
Ya know, some people use the exact same excuse for voting republican. "I'd vote for someone else but there's no good alternative!" As for having your information locked into proprietary formats, that just proves they're addicted.

Welcome to the Windows world. XP, sitting doing nothing, on a native PC install, uses between 4% and 11% of the CPU on an Athlon 64 3000.
You are either bullshitting to try and make Windows look bad, or totally retarded.
This is the Apple section, so either or both seem equally possible.
Sheeple will admit their flaws, will the zealots?
This is being typed in Safari on OS X.
I just wanted to quote those 2 lines from your post next to each other for the delicious irony. Only a fucking sheep and a zealot would feel the need to tell us what application and OS he used to type his worthless post.
If you can't manage this task, you need to step down from your high horse and accept that all your friends aren't willing to make the sacrifices that you are in the name of supporting Linux.
I was thinking of switching to OSX. Unfortunately I wasn't willing to make the necessary sacrifice, namely being a stuck up little wanker with a superiority complex.
