Rush Limbaugh Begs Steve Jobs For Bug Fixes

jlgolson writes "Yesterday, Rush Limbaugh complained on his radio program about some problems that he was having with his Mac: 'Mr. Jobs, please help me. I know we don't agree on anything ... But can you put me to somebody that can get this going, because I know it's gotta work for most people. What am I doing wrong?' Eventually he shared that he was running into actual problems with Time Machine and Back to My Mac. Can you fix them?"

It'd be kind of nice if instead of the usual "Republicans are evil" flamefest...

I'd say, "You're new here, aren't you?" but your slashdot ID is 100k lower than mine.

iii People like him cheerled us into a war where hundreds of thousands died. It would be amusing if politics had no actual consequences (ie it was arguing over what color wallpaper to make government buildings) but in this case I'm too upset to find the humor.

What is it about you people that means you can't accept the fact that people may have considered an issue as carefully as you have and simply come to a different conclusion?

1) History.
2) Open debates.
3) Ideas founded on reality, instead of fear.
4) Although many things are, you can't pretend everything is somehow neutral. Some things are right, and some things are wrong.
Wouldn't you agree that sometimes there is a wrong way and sometimes there is a right way?
5) Your leaders. (that's enough right there)
6) Republican values tend to come from "faith based organizations," as opposed to open discussion and debate.
7) Enough homophobia to shake a stick at.

There are some valid issues raised there. Unfortunately, according to the nature of man everyone is a hypocrite, you just have to wait long enough for them to espouse views that seem mutually exclusive. Those views may not at odds at all, provided you have the correct context.

Cramer, of Kudlow and Cramer, is a shill and villain. He himself admits that at times he has manipulated reporters to get a better stock price for himself. (That goes back to my First LAW: Trust no-one on television.)

Tax breaks for oil companies? It's actually a suspension of wack-ass royalties or a method of paying a company back for royalties they have to pay to another government on oil. Otherwise, they don't drill or do neat things like bitumen reclamation because it would take at least fifteen years to break even. (Unless you don't like plastics, nuclear materials, and your car I would look elsewere.) It's an attempt to balance out gov't interference with more gov't interference. Sort of like tax rebates, not the optimal solution but better than a sharp stick in the eye. (Disclosure: I work for one of the top 10 oil companies in the world. I used to work for a largish movie studio, trust me, Hollywood's fucking you hard. The oil guys are generally cleaner about their business.)

I'm atheist, and I'm anti-gay marriage. Not in the ceremonial sense of the word. I think you can do whatever you like as far as ceremonies are concerned. However, I do think that the gov't should encourage breeding amongst people who are productive as they tend to produce more productive people. (There is a bell curve here, the 2nd generation wealthy tend to be schleps.) Gay's have a particularly hard to cross threshold regarding the breeding thing. It's inconvenient and inefficient for them.

Flag burning sucks. What a bestial and primitive way to express yourself. It is protected speech. If only I could get punching people like that in the nose declared protected speech. Almost makes me as angry as those wack-ass evangelicals screaming at soldier's funerals.

As an atheist, I have never found it difficult to express my views. As a rule atheists spend more time attempting to restrict religious people than the reverse. Mucking about with Christmas and Hannukah traditions is just rude. Your argument is a bit of a canard. Atheists need to spend less time trying convert people and more time showing that you can lead a moral and kind life without a paternal heirarchy based on imaginary friends.

Just one conservative guy's $0.02.

The only reason Steve Jobs co-founded Apple was so that he could eventually get even with assholes like Rush Limbaugh. These bugs were invented just for him.

We're doomed.

Oh, lord. A story that brings together the Mac-vs-PC debate and the Conservative-vs-Liberal fight.

It's the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups of Internet flame wars. I predict a global meltdown of the entire Net within a week.

Now they've got IT people working it out.

"Yes, Mr. Limbaugh, if you just open a terminal right now ... then type rm -rf ~/Library/Mail to initialise the backup... Have you got your Time Machine plugged in? Good, if you'll just open Disk Utility, select that disk, and 'Erase' ... yes, Mr. Limbaugh, it's just to erase space for the new backup... Have you disabled the firewall yet? It needs to backup things from the local network, you know. ... Now open Safari, type in g-o-a-t-s-e-dot-c-x, yes, that's a virus-checking website, it'll make sure there are no gaping holes in your security ... What's that, Mr. Limbaugh? It's found a gaping hole? Oh no! We'll need to cleanse your firewall with FIRE! Get the matches, Mr. Limbaugh! This system must burn!" ...

And so on.

huh?

[NewAndFresh]

Maybe I am somewhat new here, but this place seems to be overrun with Republicans.
Yeah, there's plenty of moderate opinions (known in America as "the left"), but the amount of right-wing posts and moderation here seems a little strange. (election year?)

No, techies and trekies tend to focus on the problems they think can be solved through the use of science and technology, and call the potential solutions smart, even though they may not necessarily work in the real world.

They also think that they are being quite successful thanks to their wit and they can't see why everybody cannot do the same, and consequently wonder why they should pay for social security. Hence, they lean to the right. Techies are not very good with empathy, usually.

However, when the whole planet catches on and starts threatening their job, they call for government intervention.

Re:How about this one?

[thePowerOfGrayskull]

I dislike Rush as much as the next guy, but is it really so amusing to rehash template jokes to take pot-shots for no particular reason? Well, now that you mention it...

Rush Limbaugh and his chauffeur were out driving in the country and accidentally hit and killed a pig that had wandered out on a country road.

Limbaugh told the chauffeur to drive up to the farm and apologize to the farmer.

They drove up to the farm, the chauffeur got out and knocked on the front door and was let in. He was in there for what seemed hours. When he came out, Limbaugh was confused about why his employee had been there so long.

"Well, first the farmer shook my hand, then he offered me a beer, then his wife brought me some cookies, and his daughter showered me with kisses," explained the driver.

"What did you tell the farmer?" Limbaugh asked.

The chauffeur replied, "I told him that I was Rush Limbaugh's driver and I'd just killed the pig."
