    Thank you sony plant!

    it does not auto associate in os 7 (fuck it might with stuffit v2 but I am using 3 something, I am too much of a free spirit to use the version that came bundled with the machine so maybe thats why)

    and thats funny, as everything on mac is shoved onto 1 huge hard to manage menubar that totally changes the behaviour of the OS depending on what app is running

    I did it fucking Thursday and no it does NOT associate on 7, it does on 8 so right there are 2 things that took over a decade to fix, not being able to select multiple files and not being able to associate with 3rd party programs consistently, both which windows nailed. By 9 the OS was so broken they sought a total replacement as fast as possible, the reason it was one of the shortest lived major releases.

  5. Re:Corporate sales? on Corporate Mac Sales Surge 66% · · Score: 1

    well I didnt go to dell but here is what I found out in 3 seconds of looking

    for 699$ I can get a mini, with a 2.4ghz core 2 duo (really? I didnt even know they still made these) and a spacious 2 gig of ram

    OR

    for 549$ over at gateway I can get a dual core 3ghz i3, and 4 gigs of ram, clearly the better machine AND cheaper

    How much is this going to cost the people who's credit information was stolen? fuck Sony I don't care how much it will cost them!

    you know 66% of jack squat is still jack squat, yippie for apple, they sold a trendy mall store (that sells oversized rubber boots to 12 year old girls) some mac minis, 12 computers sounds lame so lets call it 66% growth

    does that include training for a entirely TCO different OS to each and every employee who has never used a mac in their life?

    "people are convinced that Macs are more expensive than their PC counterpart. This is just because you can't find a cheap mac, but you can find craploads of cheap PCs."

    that would make macs more expensive then wouldnt it? besides when you just need office and email what is wrong with a 199$ celeron and a 17 inch monitor, not every computer needs to dedicate itself to my iLife, or be the best, heck even apple understands that but you genius fanbois are still willing to plop down damn near a grand for a fucking atom in a mini case (stupid)

    who said anything about realism? you can see the bandsaw edges and pixels the size of grapes on a console, try this run a game thats available both on console and PC, like fallout 3 side by side, you will punch your mother

    not true, most consoles struggle with 720 and there are games today that run at 640, and consoles seem to not know what AA does

    Multifinder was just a task switcher, you could find those for any platform and it was inspired by a pc program during a magazine interview

    um no not even close, you have not used mac os 1-9 recently have you? I have a SE with 7 on it and yea its so much better, lets say I want to open some stuffit files

    open hard drive
    open folder
    open folder
    open app
    go to finder
    close the 4 windows I have open cause now finder is sucking down 2/3rds of my memory
    go back to the switcher find my app, did it pop up? i cant tell the damn taskbar looks the same, ok yes it did now maybe I can fucking unstuff these 5 things
    shit I cant select multiple files got to do each one manually, and they are double stuffed so 10x the clicks
    close stuffit
    spend 5 min rearranging icons on desktop cause mac just vomits them anywhere and if you tell it to clean up it just snaps to a grid

    yea that much better than the windows 3.11 version, run winzip select files hit 3 buttons and move on with life

    I have yet to find this usability that gets touted so much, how is a system finder and a icon wheel o fortune that much better than just having shit where you can see it?

    Agreed, it became a issue at my workplace with the guys on the warehouse floor, they are moving large heavy objects while operating forklifts while constantly texting. You cant get their attention cause its also jacked into their ears for MP3, and if you ask them a question they cant tell you what they did 5 seconds ago cause they are totally unfocused on their 1 simple task.

    Starting Monday if we see a celphone on the floor your gone, period.

  18. Re:Waste of money on ARM-Based Arduino Competitor At SparkFun · · Score: 1

    I have a couple pic32 boards, I like avr's better but those things pack a pretty decent punch, and since its a real MCU it can handle more load on the pins and those pins are 5 volt tolerent (well the non ADC pins are) and much more GP

    course I am basing that vs my arm M3 board
