I think you need to prove that Porn is really bad

If your going to say porn should be censored because it makes you feel funny, then I'm going to say you need to be censored because you make me feel funny.
Oh wait, it doesn't work that way? Oh perhaps we shouldn't censor pornography then.
After all pornography is just pictures of people having sex. It's not like they are killing themselves or getting wasted.
Actually I thought it spelled itself out, but apparently not.
f9 changes your view from first person to various third person views. As an enchanter (I had to keep all the mobs in the fight in line, other classes had other roles) I used this constantly to watch the battle, but after I quit I realized I hit f9 considerably more than was practical. In fact many times when I was just standing still I would almost pound on the f9 button to kill time while waiting for replies to messages I sent to players. All my friends reported similar experiences when I brought it up once.
I personally have a theory as to why EQ is so addictive (other than the ones presented in the article above).
When I finally rejoined reality last year (all my friends quit at the same time) we started discussing the addiction rationally. The common theme we all found was everyone changed their view at least 10 times a minuite except when chatting. I don't know if everyone is aware of this, but when your mind gets confused spatially it creates alot of adrenaline and some morphines.
We eventually decided that half of the addiction to everquest was the simple act of pressing f9 to get an adrenaline high.
How is this redundant? There are two problems with that moderation. 1: This was the FIST POST. 2: This was a reply to the article, not a reiteration of the article. Modding it redundant is prety much idotic.
As for overrated, sure.
As for troll. I can sort of see it, but I was honestly expressing my opinion because I don't want to see these every day.
I sincerely hope some people get caught in metamod for this one. If you get it make sure to notice this was the FIRST POST on this article, and it is not a reiteration of the article.
Say no to redundant!

I meant next gen AMD/Intel offerings, which is what the 970 is designed to compete with as far as I can tell.
I can almost guarntee you if the 970 was released at 1.8g today no one would even begin to argue the 3g hyperthreaded p4 is faster at anything except select integer artithmatic computations (which would proy be very close to tied). The chip is built to compete with the next gen of arch's not todays junk.
Actually the 970 and the AMD/Intel offerings are all due out around the same time. They are roughly equal in performance. I wouldn't be suprized if the high end workstations are released in august and the rest of the product line makes the switch in january 04. iBooks will be running 1.3g TiBooks 1.5-1.6g Desktops 1.3g-dual 2.0g (remember thats easily doubled to equate the the x86 speed ratings, probably even more than a simple double)
Motorola is about to loose *all* of their apple contract. Motorola cpu's are going to be twice the price/performance than a 970, and they can't top 1.3g if they tried.
I've noticed this as well. The interface definatly doesn't slow me down, and I found my CLI usage droped to maby 20-30 commands a day when doing local things.
Actually apple did do one really bad thing since Jobs got back. Before he returned as CEO there was this "lifetime applecare" plan that was bleeding money from their support department. Jobs told the marketing manager to "Just Fuck Them[the customers]" and discontinue their service. The FTC ended up taking them to court and won.
I just felt obligated to point out Apple is in no way perfect, but they are sure as hell about 500000x better than Microsoft.
Erm have you used osx? What files exactly don't open. I'd really love to know.
Watching a movie was the first thing I did on my TiBook, I didn't even know how to install applications yet. Chimera has yet to display a single website incorrectly for me.
And games care to me not, I really don't understand why I see that point in *every single topic* about os's.
What I never understood is why they don't use the cd key + your account password as a private key or something really tedious like that. 99.999% of casual hackers would give up if they had to do that, and I can bet almost no one would type their EQ password into a "hacking" program (EQ account piracy is big money, remember those accounts sell for a few hundred each).

You are aware during brain surgeries on humans they are kept awake and required to continue talking?
Just checking.

I averaged 60hr/week while in school and working.
It's really not as hard as you might think, you have to remember that you do *nothing* but play EQ when your addicted.
Ok seriously you moderators are on crack.

Can you refrain from publishing every software update? The Software Update utility will inform me of them.
I don't mind important/critical updates being listed, but this one is just routine patching.

Fingerprint matching is more an art than an algorithmic process. There is considerable error in any current system.

Designers are often just as interested in customizable hardware
What the fuck does that mean. Your people customize your work machines? Hi troll.
None the less, are you telling me the G4 cube doesn't basically fall open? Are you saying Macs use all sorts of non-standard parts?
What exactly are you trying to do except troll?
I use a mac and I'm not a mac user. Perhaps you should consider looking into it.
If your not a gamer you have nothing to loose. If you are a gamer you would have to be amazingly hardcore to actually notice the switch.

When he starts blatantly exagerating figures in his conclusion to "prove a point" I discounted the entire article.
Are there any real benchmarks published by a larger editing firm by someone who *isn't* a pc or mac evangalist?
I agree. Those 64MB throbbers are amazingly durable and mine still works even after running through the wash.
I dare you to show me a washed floppy =p

I use osx thanks. The recent realplayer is quite a shocking interface compared to their prior crap.
Do you think you could find the Real Player 700 version? I dread to use anything windows media related.
Yeah it might be good if it wasn't a blatant attempt to circumvent their antitrust ruling.

Staff had to scramble to find old paper forms that hadn't been used in six years so they could transfer vital patient records and prescriptions.
I call sensationalist bullshit. It takes at most 15 minuites to switch over to a fully paper hospital here.
Either that or their hospial is really really shity.
