  1. Re:It's not "the" guide on The Hackintosh Guide · · Score: 1

    Not trying to be a troll or anything, I'm honestly curious. I thought the entire point of buying a mac was the software. I was under the impression that "Mac hardware" is basically the same thing as PC hardware. What exactly makes Mac hardware nice?

    (Note: Apple has done some interesting things, like the iphone. I even own one apple product, a first gen 16gb touch.)

    Well first off TLDR.. I did read the first few lines though, and you have a logic issue.

    Well you said:

    Anything that had a beginning must have been caused by something else
    Therefore, the universe was caused by something else (a creator)

    Our universe could easily have been created by another universe. We could be living inside a black hole.

    Now I know your response.. What created the other universe? That would be another logical fallacy. Who created the creator would be my reply.

    Ebay has HDMI cables for 50 cents a foot.

    $2.74 for a 6 foot w/ free shipping. Its even shipped from a US company, so no over seas/customs wait time.

    Best Buy charges $30 for the same cheaply made cable. I think more then a dollar a foot is highway robbery.

    It took about as much labor as the bag boy at the grocery store pushing my cart out to my car, and I only tip him 3 or 4 bucks... Hell, hes happy getting 3 bucks. Most people only tip them a dollar.

    This isnt geek squad going to the house and setting the wireless up, and updating the firmware, and setting the parental controls. This is geek squad opening a box, mashing 5 min worth of buttons, repacking the box, and charging 30 bucks.

    Then they no longer have PS3s that havnt been "improved" by Best Buy. You have to pony up an extra 30 dollars if you wish to purchase one there. So when the little grandmother walks into the store to pick up her grandsons toy, she gets bent over the barrel for 30 dollars by the lies and misdirection that Best Buy always propogates

    If you can find one for sale you can buy and fly it. (Im pretty sure no weapons on it though.) There are a few people out there who own migs of one type or another. The hard part is finding one to buy.

    Fascism is state sponsored business. Fascism is the complete opposite of socialism. Which could be called state sponsored people. This country has been torn between turning fascist by the far righties, and socialist by the far lefties for the last 100 years or so.

    Both are wrong, but get your terminology straight.

    Fascism:

    Scholars generally consider fascism to be on the far right of the conventional left-right political spectrum

    Fascists seek to organize a nation according to corporatist perspectives, values, and systems, including the political system and the economy.
