Ironically, the switch to Intel is one reason I haven't tried the latest & greatest. Frankly, I'm not too impressed with OSX, but other than the OS and the slow speed, I love the G4 iBook. The battery kicks butt compared to my Intel laptops. I do like the Intel box in the winter; who needs the furnice when you've got one of those to keep you warm.:-P
I have mixed feelings about the Mac. Maintenance is the BIG advantage of the Mac. Doze is famous for viruses, and some of the anti-virus software is worse than the viruses *coughNortoncough* However, OSX is noticably slower than Doze, and the GUI isn't really any better, just different. Crashes aren't a major factor anymore. My Mac is slightly better than any of my Windows boxen, but it's not perfect, and Windows XP is very good there.
From a technical POV, I'd probably choose Windows for compatibility, speed, and familiarity, though I'd certainly get a Mac for my Mom. Though Microsoft's evil could still push me toward Apple.
Really though, I get unending jokes because I'm a big guy with a beard and long hair, so....everyone's like, when did you start working for geico. Jerks.
I don't have much trouble IRL, but I'm always getting caveman jokes online, and I can't figure out why!
So yes, I love Vista. I'd stand behind any claim saying it is the most innovative operating system Microsoft has released
I'll go along with that, though some would call that a low bar.:)
IME, Vista doesn't suck (compared to other Windows versions). There are some things that aren't as good as XP, and other things that are better. Overall, I'd still recommend XP for most people, but I don't go frothing at the mouth at the mere mention of Vista.
Who cares if the burger-flipper at the local fast food joint believes that a bus can jump a 50-foot span?
Well, if that burger-flipper ends up driving the bus I'm on because the regular driver got shot, and he can't stop the bus because it has a bomb on it, I hope he has a decent idea what that bus can and can't do.
In a sense, it is, but that doesn't mean it's fully controllable. It always seemed to me that NOT time-travelling was harder in ST than time-travelling was.
How is your modern Islamist all that different from your average KKK or Nazi party member?
That's an easy one. The KKK doesn't control a country, and the Nazis haven't controlled a country for over 60 years.
The Islamic radicals either control or seriously threaten to control numerous countries, many of which have significant resources, and one of which has nuclear bombs.
ROTFLMAO! I was once on a website that filtered wristwatch, tycoon (last 4 letters are racial slur), and our VP's first name. So I made a point of bringing up those topics of conversation, just to show how stupid the filter was.
You're going to go all RIAA and start suing people who were never even at the theatre, who've never seen the movie? Amish parents? A dog who wandered in?
But, anyone who doesn't go to the theater is depriving them of their money, and should be sued! Ditto for Amish & dogs, neither of whom buy tickets.

What happened to the "C" version? And was there ever an "A" version?
Also, what will they do when they hit "Q"?
I dunno. Windows Ex-pee doesn't really sound that professional to me.
Is a bear Catholic? Does the Pope s**t in the woods?
Doesn't work from work. I get message about firewall or Java settings. :-P
Sounds familiar. The last time I complained to my boss about not having enough to do, I got stuck in boring meetings for months.

Running water is also a luxury. My great-great grandparents did just fine pulling water out of the well and using the outhouse.
Oddly, I had better luck with Gateway machines than I did with either Dell or Compaq.
I still haven't ruled out that possibility.
So, the guy who said the French were revolting was wrong?
It's a mobile home! A very fast mobile home.
Did you think it was fine when Clinton did it, but not when Bush does it? If so, FOAD.

3) He left for other reasons, but since he was leaving anyway, he was free to state his REAL opinion about Vista.
I'll go along with that, though some would call that a low bar.

The best way to learn such things is from someone else's mistake.

I've always thought that Bush was smarter than he looked/sounded. However, that is a very low bar.

The problem with voiceprints is, what if you have a bad cold?
