LOSER! If you don't like any of the candidates, write one in!! You live in a country where you have the right to voice your opinion by casting a vote... yet, you blatantly give up that right! THEN DON"T FARKIN COMPLAIN FOR THE NEXT 4 YEARS, ASSHOLE!!

What possible advantage (other than maybe the ability to run photoshop) is there over having a Mac then just creating your own Linux desktop system? I've been running Linux as my main desktop system for over 3 years now and it just keeps getting better. I have 3 computers in my home office all running Linux, the best one cost $800, the other two around $400.
So, lets see:
hardware: mac-limited, pc/linux-tons, lots of it cheap
software: mac-lots (of commercial, compared to Linux), pc/linux-tons of open-source
case/design: mac-limited, pc/linux-tons of cases available in different colors, shapes and sizes
Under corporate control: mac-yup, pc/linux-NO!
Superior attitude: mac-lots, pc/linux-lots
Ok, that's awesome! Thanks for the info, I didn't know that was available. Now I might think about getting a console.
(meaning I can dump windows altogther and just run Linux)
Here is a fine example of a Mac zealot not realizing that a person with low income cannot afford "equivalant quality parts"... hence the reason they go out and buy a $500 gaming PC, which can play more and newer games than a high-quality Mac anyway!
So, let's see, $1499 for a Mac, $500 for a PC. That's $1000 difference!!!!
as a troll... I'd like to say that this poster is absolutely correct. No matter how much Mac zealots love to claim it's just a myth! A person can buy a computer that can play the *most recent* games (although not very well, unless you turn off graphical extras like shadows, lighting, etc..) at around $500. No matter what you say, you just can't do that with a Mac.
debian: you value freedom overall
gentoo: you value a fast/ultra-tweaked system
slackware: you value conventional standards
knoppix: you value the ability to upgrade by just burning a new cd
linspire: you value being able to get stuff done without any dirty work
mandrake: you value being able to get stuff done without much dirty work
suse: you value the ability to get stuff done without much dirty work, and you hate the french
redhat: you value supporting the "big" distro
fedora: can't afford redhat, you value being a guinea pig for the "big" distro or are too scared to try anything new
caldera: you're a f****** idiot!
I once tried a new way of water-cooling by hotglueing the entire motherboard... yes, I basically coated it with glue and lowered it into a bucket filled with icy water. I obviously kept the power supply and harddrives on a table next to the bucket. All the cabling was also well glued at the connection points to the motherboard. No pumps needed, no CPU fan.
Anyway, now I can overclock my P4 from 1.8 to 2.4 with no problem... and anytime I start getting lock-ups, I just throw in a few more ice cubes from the freezer.
I don't know how others do it, but I rip all the CD's I purchase into mp3 and then burn them to CDR. I then use those CDR's as my daily music source... while I keep the originals in dark storage bins. I rip to mp3 because I know everything will play them... and when i'm listening to music at work on crappy computer speakers, 128bit mp3 doesn't sound any different then playing them off the original CD.
If a CDR ever dies on me, I just re-create it from the original CD's. Easy, no?!
anybody else here in Canada notice that "The Sony Store" is easily the most expensive place to buy their products? I don't even bother stepping foot in one.
Why don't the ISP's just dump all their usage logs to/dev/null ? For the sake of customer privacy.
Can't really expect the ISP's to come up with data that they don't have, can you!?

I'm a Canadian that feels deeply disappointed that so many Americans can still vote for someone like Bush. Yikes!

Yeah, just doing my part in posting to get the comments quantity to reach new record highs!
I don't need to worry about the cabling inside my computers, it's all round. Who still uses those flat ribbon cables anyway?
to see the fabled folding of the "art cable"!!

So what is the benefit of using a Mac??!!

Yes, sad but true.
Oh come on... we all know that this is just a LIEberal scam to get more money to "protect the environment". [/sarcasm]

1. I AM RICH
2. I like to be elitist
3. I also hate redmond
As far as that linux "freedom" thing goes, I'm sure it's overrated.
(I love firefox, IE can go suck eggs)

Please post bittorrent links.... thanks!
Forgot to include that in the previous post. And because the previous link wasn't hyperlinked,
