  1. Not to mention on Scientists Create New Form of Matter · · Score: 2, Funny

    Being able to do that cool thing where you take a metal toy and then put a magnet under the desk and make it move around, you know that thing, now you can do it through walls.

    Still got that old iBook laying around? I'm in the market for one.

  3. Re:Like does anyone care? on Apple Releases Security Update 2004-01-26 · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I understand though. I think the problem is in the fact that Apple had to make certain design decisions when trying to make their os palatable to the geeks and the users alike.

    On one hand you have all the power and flexability of the *nixy goodness in the backend that the geeks love and on the front end you have the polished eye candy that the users love, but its all closed which pisses the geeks off.

    Similarly, I think that is the same compramize that is going on with software update. They can't just give you the source and have you compile it because thats not luser friendly and its not all hush hush for the closed src parts of the os. ... I could go on, but I'm boring myself and probably you too.

    Unless you need the patch don't patch it on important servers. Patch spares and dick around with them.

    Give everyone a chance to install it and test things first.

    Uh, actually you can turn case sensitivity on in OSX, but you have to format your drive that way.

  12. Re:Mac Opinion on Macintosh's 1984 Debut · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I'm telling you there is a definite sexual orientation correlation here.

    Not that mac users are gay, but they are at least much much more likely to be gay or metro-sexual.

    Not that there's anything wrong with that, but unless apple decides to go after the straight masses they're going to stay in about the same situation.

    That being said, its disturbing that macs are so prevalent in education, especially k-12.

  13. Re:Mac's Popularity on Macintosh's 1984 Debut · · Score: 2, Funny

    Its because having a mac is like being gay. If its what you're into its great. If your not into that sort of thing you just aren't.
