Well, Maximizing every window isn't even a noob thing.. not a part of the whole stereotype.
In fact, I know lots of people including myself that do it to use the screen real estate. Alt-tab (or apple-tab) or switching screens is pretty simple. Yes, I switch screens on my work Windows desktop. I was tired of being constrained to one screen, so I downloaded an open source app named VirtuaWin to have easily switchable virtual desktops.
While I like American Dad, it's pretty much one type of humor, done in many different ways. It's NOTHING like Family Guy aside from being made by the same guy and having the voices intermix.
The difference is that virus would need administrator access to write to the boot sector. Any writing goes through the kernel to the disk. With Windows (or DOS), there was a direct disk access capability.
Right, and I'm not saying this to be snide at all but I consider Apple to be kinda like Linux in that regard. "Viruses" aren't what people think they are, even on Windows it seems. People always think if something gets onto your system and makes it do something you don't want it to, it's a virus. I hate that, since that's just a trojan, and isn't really a problem with spreading to others... unless the user just randomly runs apps as administrator.
For those that can't seem to fathom the concept, a virus is a piece of data that finds a way to spread itself to other machines by it's own volition. (without asking for admin password)
It is now official. Netcraft has confirmed: *BSD is dying One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered *BSD community when IDC confirmed that *BSD market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last [samag.com] in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test. You don't need to be the Amazing Kreskin [amazingkreskin.com] to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time FreeBSD developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: FreeBSD is dying. Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers. OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts. Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house. All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS dilettante dabblers. *BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.
Being non-UNIX based does not magically fix all the security holes in Windows. From what I have seen of the hacker contests, Windows was shown to be less secure than even OSX.
Then factor in the stupid nonintuitive UI (My Computer? bawhahaha, nice app there dimwit) and well... it ain't so great
There, FTFY... it's just as dimwitted in reverse as it is forward. All you did was speak some fiction, then throw out some attempts at diminishing character
They didn't try to arrest them, they simply refused to sell one of their items to someone. If the company doesn't approve of it, they can let go of that individual. Otherwise, life goes on until there's a bunch of Iranians protesting in front of Apple stores.

HUNDREDS? Christ man...

you taint Sagan's legacy as far as I'm concerned.
No, it's not true, it's opinion.
That's only true for you.
The fact that you think like that tells me I would hate to know you.
While I like American Dad, it's pretty much one type of humor, done in many different ways.
It's NOTHING like Family Guy aside from being made by the same guy and having the voices intermix.
Wow... you sure do put a lot of thought into how people around you want to do bad things to you, don't you?
Then you're missing the joke in a joke. It's not meant for you, obviously. Move along.
So you're saying that a Mac users' disposable income is about $1-2k total?
Tubs in luxury hotels are not like the one in mom & dads place.
No, that's alienware. Apple hardware isn't shiny, it's actually quite non-reflective aside from the monitors.
Cheap food is a benefit. You may not like it, you may see other problems, that's not MY problem. Undocumented workers do provide a benefit.
A benefit on the backs of people being abused.
You're a wonderful person, I want to know you.
Too many people have been randomly slicing people.
nooooo... Apple & Linux are awesome, Windows is lame!

When you reboot into OSX you're fine, then ;)
Not from the factory (what this is talking about)...
That sound only happens when an email i sent, not when your homosexual.
Name one UN sanction against Russia or China. (CURRENTLY)
Unlike Iran.
That goes both ways, both were American citizens and broke no laws.
It's like a gun salesman proceeding with a sale after the guy tells his friend next to him, "after I get this, I'm gonna blow that fags head off.".
That's her choice. No one has any business "protecting her for her own good."
You must be a pot smoker, that's kinda the argument one of them would say about that argument too lol
