I agree. I found it hilarious that my OS 9 manual didn't include information about how to enable pre-emptive multitasking or a non-graphical user interface. I found it somewhat less hilarious when I realized that not only were the authors not joking, but there weren't any glaring omissions in the manual. (There were omissions in the OS, though, of course.)
Thank Jobs that OS X is finally out. It kinda sucks having to use a GUI that brings my 800MHz G4 to its knees, though. And it sort of sucked having to wait two years for a native port of Photoshop. And the GUI is less customizable than MS-DOS. The GUI is also somewhat non-functional -- when it's not wasting CPU cycles with useless animation and morphing effects, it's getting in my way.
This is why I also have several Windows machines, for when I want to be productive. Windows isn't perfect, but it's a hell of a lot better than any Mac OS. Apple is the best competitor that any company could ask for. I'll bet that if Apple went into the petrol business, Enron execs would feel a lot better about themselves.
Oh well, at least Apple still has its hardware. Sure, it's dreadfully underpowed, and sure, it's horribly overpriced, and sure, Apple ignores open hardware standards in favor or proprietary garbage, and sure, Apple shuns backward compatibility which would allow users to remain productive without upgrading. Oh, wait. I guess the hardware sucks too.
But they do have the industry's only one-button mouse! And that's the kind of innovation that gets you rememberd.
Wow, you're really quite a moron. Do you practice?

Slashdot didn't "write an article," you dumbass. Someone sent in a link, and one of the Slashdot janitors added a stupid comment and posted it. It's a link repost. Jesus, if you think that's an "article," no wonder you fucktards consider JonKatz to be a "writer."
LOL, thanks to Apple's proprietary hardware and lame-o software, the PC is practically ubiquitous, and Apple computers are only used by the ignorant. So, yes, Apple's desktop did quite a bit for the PC.
Is Brad Smith saying that Levy will help Digital Wireless competitors by applying the old Apple curse to this new keypad? Good job! And I'm sure that the product was designed with that inexpensive, featureful and easy-to-find Crapintosh software and hardware!
Apple Computer: destined to fail, and the best competitor any company could ask for!
Uh, nope. Sorry, Americans are too busy being the biggest technological and financial juggernaut in world history to be concerned with such things.
Oh, and sorry 'bout your empire. It must suck to have to be ashamed of your national identity. Hell, I'd rather kill myself than live in your world. Thankfully, the US is rich and hasn't completely succumbed to the influence of Euro-Socialism, so I don't have to go anywhere. There's a reason why the US has the biggest intake of immigrants and the lowest expatriation -- sorry, that's a big word, and I know that text messaging has made your minds quite weak in that area -- of citizens of any country in the world.
But please, continue your pathetic attempts to insult us! It won't make us any less powerful or dominant, so if flaming us helps erase the image of the US publicly sodomizing your castrated government, you are welcome to continue.
You could always move to Japan and get your terrorist ass off of our continent. And the Japanese aren't xenophobic racists! Every non-Japanese who has tried to live there and comes back telling horror stories is just making them up, really! You'll do fine! Now get the fuck out!
No -- it's no secret! Read the front page for a few days, and you'll find some of the biggest luser wannabe newbie morons in existence behind that drivel.
Netscape sat on its ass for four years and did nothing while MS bowled right over them, you fucking dumbass. I switched to IE for the same reason that everyone else did: since 4.0, it's been faster, and since 5.0, it's been more standards-compliant. Mozilla/Netscape 6 aren't an amazing improvement, by the way -- but if you'd actually written a web application in the last two years, you'd know that. IE is a godsend. And if the.1% of idiots who think that "Linux is ready for the desktop" can't use it, well fuck them in their idiot little assholes. Those of us using Windows, Mac OS, and UNIX are enjoying IE very much. You have no market share, and most of your users are 12-year-olds trying to escape "the evil empire." Your sad little whining isn't helping your image. If you had any experience in the way things work in the real world, you'd be begging Microsoft to let you port IE to Linux.
Thank you for restating that fact. I'm amazed at the number of people who feel that it's their right to drive an automobile, like that terrorist dyke in Florida who sued the state when the DMV told her she was required to remove her veil when having her photo taken. Driving is a privelege.The State licenses you to operate heavy machinery on roads that are built, maintained, and operated by the State. If you don't have the "right" to burn down a government building, then you don't have the "right" to drive a car. And if you don't like that system, then fuck you! Leave the country!
I'm not speaking to you, Crusty Oldman -- you have your head screwed on straight. I'm just using this opportunity to rant at all the losers out there. I listen to talk radio and recently heard a caller who was ready to kill the host to prove that he is "given the right to drive a car in the constitution." Sure, you have the right to drive a car on private roads that you own. But once you move onto roads that are owned, operated, and maintained by the taxpayers and the state, then you are must be licensed to abide by the laws of the state. It's a privelege granted by the state.
Stupidity never ceases to amaze me. Never. I'm constantly amazed by the filthy fucking hoardes of people who live here and don't understand the basic principles upon which all modern forms of government and society are based.
Eh. He's probably too busy standing in the hall and plotting the deaths of the "jocks" and the "preps" to actually pay attention. It must be tough, being too weak and ugly to be popular, and too stupid to be a geek. Let's only hope that he kills himself before he has the chance to unleash his stupidity on the real world!
Ha. Yeah, I'm sure that you were "just kidding" after he exposed your level of ignorance. Why don't you go back to listening to Limp Bizkit and playing Counter-Strike, you little kiddy faggot?
You're just wannabe-Europeans, like Canadians. Nice militaries, there, bub. Oh well, I guess that someone has the be the girly-country... England can't carry that burden itself you know! Especially with those pale sissy arms!

The Japanese are morons.
The code itself is pretty funny too. Unprofessional garbage usually is.

Serves those communist dumbfucks right for using Linux.
Shut up, you fucking loser.

Lamer.
You too? LOL, I use 90210 for every single one of my fake Hotmail accounts. Microsoft must think they have a lot of fans in Beverly Hills.

Preach on. Also, methinks the lamer should spend less time yapping on /. and more time studying for his English class.
