  1. What Would Jordi Do? on PC Not Booting Until a Different Phase is Used? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Did you modify the phase variance?

  2. Mac downloads? on Students Compete at Video Game Creation · · Score: 1

    Why is it that the only mac game is the one without a download link?

  3. What if your system breaks? on The Death of Used Game Sales? · · Score: 1

    Approximately 2 years into owning it my PS2 broke and I got a new one. Or what if your drive breaks under warranty and Sony replaces it? How would this new system act under these likely and legal situations?

  4. Plug and play not pioneering on Windows on Is It Wrong to Love Microsoft? · · Score: 5, Insightful
    From the story:
    ...(plug and play springs to mind) but it was a pioneering effort. No one was even close to the ease of use that Windows offered. Sure, Mac OS was a lot prettier but then it cost the moon and the stars along with both your arms and legs.

    Plug and play was by no means a pioneering effort by Microsoft, the Macintosh has had it forever, so long in-fact that it had no name on Mac OS, not until it was a new feature in Windows did Microsoft give it a name. We Mac users just knew it as "stuff working when I plug it in just like it should"
    Also I would argue (and I know there are many on both sides) that the Mac OS was prettier, cost more, and was easier to use as well.
  5. What about guns? on Supreme Court Rules against Grokster · · Score: 1

    This ruling is not consistent with their previous rulings on companies that produce firearms--who are not held responsible for the actions of their clientele.

  6. really? on Death of the Indie Game Store · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Indie games are alive and well on the macintosh, I doubt that I have any mainstream games on my computer.

  7. SubEthaEdit on A Simple Note Taking Software - Which One? · · Score: 1

    SubEthaEdit is good (if you have a mac). The best part about it is the ability to take notes in a group via bonjour.

    For some reason Japan isn't all that keen on nuclear weapons.
