At the time, practically everything had a different CPU, so the whole PC or non-PC is irrelevant until several years later. At that point in time, Apple was not a "PC" by the terms of geniuses who think a CPU architecture determines whether something is a Personal Computer, because a "PC" used x86, and Apple was using PPC CPUs. In fact, I'm pretty sure IBM was their major supplier of CPUs for a while. Regardless, all these occurrences are separated by years, and probably shouldn't be thrown together into one argument.
1. Watching the video, I see nothing that couldn't be achieved with ExtJS.
2. Chrome often has multiple processes listed in task manager. In their video, they conveniently cover all those process names with another window so you can't see them.
3. Suspicious overuse of "pwn". No company worth respecting would use "pwn" in a press release.
The problem is that JavaScript is just not performant enough, and it's restricted to browsers.
Yeah. QtScript, V8, Node.js, and any of those other out-of-browser Javascript/ECMAScript implementations just don't exist. How nice it would be if only everyone based their imaginary worlds upon reality...

So, just because you don't plan on buying it, means that a significant portion of software simply doesn't exist. I think your logic is broken; you should look for a new one.
Where logic is concerned, a balanced discussion is impossible these days on Slashdot. Oh, sorry, did I twist your words?
Microsoft has not supported Windows XP for several years. If you're still running Windows XP, you're SOL. They still support XP SP3 (and possibly SP2, but I'm not going to bother to find out), though. The same applies to Linux. Nobody supports 12 year old software if you haven't bothered with the service packs.
1. You're comparing Red Hat to XP, but you seem to have used the price of Red Hat Enterprise Server. You should have selected Workstation.
2. Red Hat Enterprise Workstation with a 1 year standard support package, which includes unlimited phone support during business hours, and 1-4 hour responses for the two highest severity levels. Does XP Professional come with that level of support?
3. RHEW costs $300, or £180. XP Pro currently costs $300, or £180. Did XP Pro cost more when it was first released?
Show me the 10 year old package that isn't supported and hasn't had a drop-in replacement, first. You must provide the proof that such a thing exists, rather than others providing "proof" that it doesn't exist. Once you provide that proof, somebody will probably name a drop-in replacement for you. Good luck.
The original Railroad Tycoon had an anti-piracy check like that. The first two pages of the manual were pictures of various engines, and on startup, it showed a picture and 4 or 5 choices of engines. Pick the wrong one, and you were limited to a total quantity of 3 engines while you played.

Apple are PC's, So were all their competitors

After Amiga, Commodore and IBM and the rest fractured the market.
Amiga was a Commodore product. Perhaps you meant Atari?

The quality of those off-brand "logic" things just doesn't measure up to real logic.

I do watch what happens, sometimes for long periods of time. What happens? My game runs just fine, often even better than in Windows.
So who ripped us off with all those 74 minute discs?
I think you will find that it is Asperger's, not Asberger's.
Paedophile was never a correct spelling. Pædophile might have been, though.
You might want to sit down for this one:
Apple isn't God.
There's no need to lick the muddy water from Apple's footprints; it won't lead to salvation.

The Christians try to sell me 100% coverage...
There's some facts that need untwisting first.

Got any more numbers that "don't lie"?

Try again. If you want to argue SI vs IEC units...
GB = (10^3)^3
GiB = (2^10)^3
There is no "Ge".

The cloud is a puffy white thing in the sky. Who's in marketing?
Your suggestion that you don't want to have anything in the cloud is moronic. Most of what you do is on the Internet. The Internet is the cloud.
Your usage of the common ignorant fool's definition of "cloud" is moronic.
If it's made by man, it will eventually fail and will require service or replacement.
So hire the monkeys and their koala and prairie dog minions to make it for us, so it won't fail.

It's free now, though. Props to publishers who release their old stuff rather than suing anybody who dares to try and obtain a game that can't be bought anywhere.

He promised to give people hope, and he fulfilled that one. Never mind that he dashed it all shortly afterwards. So, he did actually keep one promise.
And yet, nobody mentions Fluxbox...
You mean by changing the colors on the ball from black and white hexagons to plain brown leather? Same goal, same game, different era.
