most jet fighters can reach around mach 2.2 - i think much faster and you have problems with heat and u have to use stuff like titanium. though few jets actually go at this speed, once they are actually loaded with missiles and stuff (i.e. can do something useful) then speed is less. mach number varies with altitude anyway

mac users either use the apple menu all the time or hardly ever in my experience. i am the the latter group =P
same with the control strip, whats so great about that anyway that the dock doesn't replace already (and with the CD audio dockette) it replaces even more. but once again... it depends what u used...

"the UI "feels" too much like Windows and other, similar half-assed graphical frontends for my liking"

why can't geeks use Macs? gee how narrow minded are you!
celerons are crap, last year i bought my wife one at the same time i bought a new iMac, they cost the same (and the PC has lots more MHz so gee it should be faster!!) but hell the PeeCee is soooo slow, its the fastest PC we ever had but compared to a G3... and this is the slowest available Mac btw. the iMac monitor is better than the crap one that came with the PC too.
but DS9 is the best ST series ever! Voyager is ok, not as bad as some maintain. most of the criticism of it comes from people who sound like they only saw the pilot
they not pushing it out the door early, the OS is done, whats late is stuff like the DVD player s/w. which sounds like an app to me. its like saying Microsoft release Windows X early because Office Y is not ready.
now come on guys, this is getting beyond a joke. what a none-story has been posted here. yet again accusing apple of X, Y and Z. what is it with slashdot? are they THAT scared of OSX killing Linux or something?
no doubt some ppl will flame you but in the commercial world stupid clients and managers insist on bad things like pixel widths for pages and all that bollocks.
but as for your comments, do you wanna use the cutting edge stuff because its there or because its the best way for your page. in most cases all that whiz bang shit is not needed.
Slashdot Mirror
mac users tend to do work on their boxes and not spend time worrying about themes and stuff y'see...
it seems strange to me that you base your choice of computer/OS on how well you can customise the interface...
mind u some r well up for it, check out kaleidoscope.net!

you ought to try OSX, you could do with the system wide spell checker
basically iMacs rule
i kinda expect it to be slow
some people have just too much money!

well you usually only voluntarily enter a war you know you will win

never underestimate your enemy, it can be fatal
what about the alien that looked like a bird/giant insect they had in Voyager a few series ago?

i thought OSX PB has colorsync already?
maybe he, like the majority of mac users, doesn't have DVD drive in his mac?

it should do, how much ram u got?
this post is satire of course, but similar to the crap ppl write about BSD or Macs or whatever whenever a magazine or website closes.
