Take note what version that was (not in the mood to look at that UI ever again). It was NOT 6 or, i believe, 5. They changed MUCH of the UI because of the major backlash from all sides. Outdated jabs at something, unless pointing out a pattern, is really stupid. As the site says (i remember it, ok), apple is a company which usually has no problem with UI.
DEAR GOD!! How many of you all have guns?! There are a startling number of posts indicating that they do indeed own a firearm. A tad disturbing... and seemingly proving an interesting point brought up by Michel Moore in Bowling for columbine. (Yes, it is edited. congrats. you understand film making. yes, it is biased. Congrats, you understand reporting.)
um... sorry? Are you using that sad, age-old ploy of "macs don't have any software"? No, we don't have the plethora of crap games that only the compulsive and very stupid buy. The really good ones have ALL (sans that damn HALFLIFE!) been ported to Mac. Next you are going to do that whole "but they only come with one button on the mouse." Get over yourself. I interface with net parties rather well and i am usually the only Mac. And, please, QuickDraw was before Direct X, if i remember correctly. That would be another item that Redmond has taken from the smaller company.
Soon we will have improbability chips powering our processes! It will take us where ever we need to with out even a graphics card or ram! That is until some odd white robots come and take our chips away. Damn Kricket bots!
I have to say, this is not new. The Communists in Russia looked at nature like this conquerable thing, so did the british, and so do we. No respect. Sadly that is the way it is and will be until our whole culture changes on very basic levels, like, not thinking we are the best and be all of all beings. That would be nice.
Well, we will have the UN trying to brow beat us if we ACTUALLY establish a colony. now, we are not a monarchy, are we. You are defining colony in that reference.
What economic empires with armies attached do with colonies is, without establishing colonists, turn their "protectorate" or whatever into a source of income or as a power piece.
China can do neither because we have them cornered on every market (except actual labor that may be their salvation and key into international business) and are not able to fulfill their expansionist dreams.
so, in reality, tho separated by an ocean and very distinct cultures, our govt's goals are all the same. To become the leading superpower in the worlds greatest penis comparison.

oh.. and not everyone else is our enemy. A very unhealthy way to live. that goes for the US and the PRC!
i believe there are several hundred posts to this tune. It has been out for several months now and the firmware is rather solid on this little machine and being "dependent" on apple is not too bad. they try to keep up with problems as much as possible and do well at it. Yah, it is the stuff that was publicized, get over it. that is what you payed for and nothing more.
that is why you employ the use of "verbal meaning" tags. Many common ones are as such:
/rant
/sarcasm
/troll
and
/im a normal/. user who has never read the articles before posing in my life.
while the last one is not used as explicitly, it is easily inferred by accounting for their user no. and the amount of asinine content in their post.
ok. so about 6 years ago these old guys, like my 99 y/o great grandfather, got board and decided to get nostalgic and broke out their version of the internet, telegraphy machines for the younger ones and then the manual ones for the "vets." so, when these guys would start it was fast, old rail signals and such then, at about 8:30 everything would go silent and the OLD guys would get on. 3 guys around the country, my gGrandfather and two others on the west coast. Blew everyone away with how fast they still were. These guys built the ancient infrastructure and they are almost ALL still doing internet stuff, at least until they die. Truly incredible.
The simple fact with that is that those are now considered antique and actually worth money now! It would run you quite a lot to get one, well... one that functioned not as a fish bowl or something froofy like that.
Truthfully, many European countries seem to have this rather down. The Dutch, which i know a bit about, have the nearest to a transparent society, at least on the govt. level, that i have ever seen. EVERYthing is televised from what i saw. all documents that are not TRULY national security (with a non superpower, that is most everything) are open to the public and easily accessible on the internet. If there is corruption, you have the ability to know it. The US needs to take a page off that book and get a bit less secretive with things. EVERYTHING is not a mater of national security.
nah... i did the same thing for the reason of understanding where they went "wrong," or twisted. What is interesting, i just recently found out that that kind of thinking can make you a lot of money if your work for the Govt. The anti-terror boom allows people to come up with the best plans, given particular access to materials and knowing the general psych profile, for carrying out terroristic attacks. These are written into reports and then sent along their way where the security problems are addressed and looked for.
These kids just wanted to escape their world. they tried really hard. I have met people who have done the same thing with D&D. Tho i have not played it (tried too late, too much to learn w/ too little time) i have watched a few sessions and noted the difference of the players. The scary ones (not necessarily the good ones) were way too into it. they BECAME their characters for the whole night even during breaks. They wanted to BE them, as it would give theme power in their sad little lives.
I have seen it in people who delve into Martial arts. They tried to be someone else entirely. Someone with power. I have seen it with some wilderness guys, trying to get away from a life they hated. These kids just got too much into something they, with their lives and personalities, shouldn't. Violent games can be a good tool of stress relief. And it can be a dangerous obsession for neglected and troubled youths.
Sounds like they liked the Matrix too much and had no grounding in a favorable reality and had no way to cope.
To get rid of that, i would recommend that you head over to http://www.haxies.com and get the APE program you see there and the deMetalizer offered there. They also have several other programs that are VERY nice for interface changes (making the dock clear for one). It is a great help, if you hate the metal thing so much. It can get rid of all metal on the desktop but iTunes and DVD player (there may be more, but i don't use them).
nononoNO! that is not alcohol. You are mixing up one taboo with another. One you do with your hand and your mouth and the other with you hand and... erm... welllll... you know. That and harry palms too, right? or am i mixed up?
Hmmm... carbon... Coal fueled laptops!! THAT will work! it is an old technology and should be easy to implement. Just has to have the right sulfur content, around 40% and it will be PERFECT. it would work GREAT in planes and would be a HIT in places like California! Schweet. Now i just have to wait for the money to roll on in...

and thus, a hell of a lot of power.
Well, i would offer them a cookie. LACED WITH ARSENIC!!! Oh...erm. sorry. i just hate MS tech support stuff.
