  1. So where were we with the Apple meltdown? Right, down 5% today. And 15% for the month. Because I-phone suppliers had their orders cut.

    Who is right? :)

    It's weird that it's the liberals who have become defenders of open and free markets and conservatives that have become proponents of heavy regulations, protectionism and taxes

    It's not that weird. Liberals have gotten older and wiser while conservatives have gotten even older and senile.

    Again, your original claim was about non-muslim countries, are you intentionally ignoring that?

    No, it is covered by "everywhere else" in my post. Notice how many continents are listed there? Those are not muslim countries.

    Please stop slithering. You wrote "the clear majority of muslims in non-muslim countries want to replace current law with sharia law."

  4. Trump tax on stupidity on 'Why PC Builders Should Stock Up on Components Now' (pcmag.com) · · Score: 1

    Trump imposed a tax on stupidity. This tax will end when the stupidity ends. Note that Trump doesn't actually have the authority to impose tariffs, that is the purview of congress.

    Pardon me for quibbling. There are 50 majority-muslim countries but only eight use sharia for criminal law, the others mostly restrict it to family law, and generally to muslims.

    In my opinion, theocracy is always an unsound foundation for the rule of law whatever the religion, and as such, detrimental to the economic well being of a nation. Economics will ultimately prevail, it always does.

    why is it not okay to be against someone who is against you?

    Because it makes you an extremist too. Instead, be for the rule of law, and if you are fortunate enough to live in a land governed by the rule of law then be thankful for that. Do your part to ensure it stays that way.

    You claimed this: "the clear majority of muslims in non-muslim countries want to replace current law with sharia law". Which is absolute unsupported and unsupportable bullshit.

    Even in muslim countries it's split.

    the last global survey found that the clear majority of muslims in non-muslim countries want to replace current law with sharia law.

    Really. And what global survey was that? It took me about one minute to find a respectable survey that says even in most muslim countries most muslims don't want sharia law.

    Cite your sources. (I'm not holding out much hope that you will or can)

    Fox is a disgrace. WSJ a shadow of its former self. Others are mostly on the side of democracy.

    BTW, you are obsessed with my posts, are you ok?

    OS X: Linux that sucks. Less efficient, less stable, less customizable, less hardware support, can't read the source let alone improve it, built-in spyware, it goes on and on. Linux now drives all advancements to Unix, Apple falls further and further behind. Slow as hell updates with forced reboot and long downtime. You have a choice of exactly one GUI and if you don't like what Apple wants you to like then fuck you. Metal. Feh.

    As if we needed any more reason to detest Apple, pull a stunt like this. 1) It will be circumvented 2) It doesn't really matter, Apple hardware is rapidly becoming irrelevant, with nothing new to contribute except price inflation. Soon will only be phones and music rental.

  18. That is a COMPONENT in a computer, NOT A COMPUTER!!!

    WTF? You're seriously claiming the 2400G isn't a computer? Four Zen cores, sorry I had to explain it in one syllable words. Hey maybe you better just keep your mouth shut when it comes to anything technical. Or just keep your mouth shut period.

    it has a TDP OF 100W

    Wipe the drool off your chin. It's configurable 45 - 65 watts.

    And that's my point. Mac Mini is a piece of shit, it's thermally challenged for anything serious and stupidly overpriced for low power roles a NUC does perfectly well. Why did Apple even bother, oh right, because it's populated by drivelling idiots like you. Dried Apple.

  19. So where, pray tell, in a case like that, is a Vega going to find sufficient cooling?

    Dumbass, the 2400G has Vega on board.

  20. External GPUs are a fantastic idea.

    Please explain to me the logic of getting a mini then sticking a bunch of peripherals onto it to make up for its defects, making it not mini after all, instead a mass of cables taking up deskspace all for a stupid amount of budget.

  21. Or maybe 2400G to fit in a tiny case. Some decent onboard vega punch and just say no to Apple's external GPU, what a bad idea.

    If you actually want to do something with it, Mini-ITX makes a lot more sense, lots of AM4/Ryzen motherboards available for cheap. Stick in a 2600 for a highly respectable compact PC.

  23. It doesn't really matter, this thing is way too expensive for anybody to want it. What is Apple thinking, I love it.

    You want a small computer, get a NUC. You want a decent computer don't get a mini.

  24. Now you're being the idiot, not to mention a dick. You go right ahead and tell the WLinux guys what they can and can't call their distro, and if they tell you to fuck yourself then complain to your mother.

  25. OK, I'll hand back the crack pipe :)

    I'll still disagree with OP, using the Linux kernel APIs means it's sensible to call it Linux. And now I see how the project explains the Window Store price as support for Indie developers, they should frame that message better.
