Considering Apple's reputation for software which "just works", their recent offerings on Windows seem to be doing anything but.
Apple's reputation is software for people who don't know anything about computers and they freak out and think something is broken as soon as their screensaver kicks in.
That deadbolt analogy is horrible. A firewall is nothing like putting a locked door over a keyhole...it's more like making the door appear to be gone altogether.
So, for example, I shouldn't need a firewall restricting SSH access to my machine by IP because SSH on its own is good enough? The fact is, even though I'll be safe almost all of the time, bad guys can still try to guess my username/password. I'm sorry, but I feel a lot safer knowing that bad guys can't even ATTEMPT to log in.
Oh yeah, and you forgot the part about FruitCylCo's propane tanks being compatible only with FruitCylCo's overpriced brushed aluminum gas grills.
I noticed that they also took down the graphs on the G5 page showing how the G5 was 8 million times faster than a P4.
So, if the new P4 Macs are 4x faster than the old Macs, and the old Macs are faster than a P4...does that make P4s infinitely times faster than themselves? Please help me out, Apple marketing is confusing.
My brother was suspended for getting in a fight with another student. AT HOME. When I found out about that, I was very disappointed that my mom never stepped in and said anything.
Oh great. He says that he doesn't want to spend $80 on a Windows license, so your solution is to buy something even more expensive and proprietary? Yeah thats insightful alright.
Your point is pointless because, when talking to other Americans, Americans do not have a foreign accent. Of course American accents are foreign from a British person's point of view - THEY ARE FROM A FOREIGN COUNTRY.
You sound like those people that travel to non-English speaking countries and commenting on how there are so many foreigners there.

oh right, they dropped the pentium name. big deal, you know what I meant.
BTW, is there a way to filter out posts written by nits under the age of 25? I would turn that option on in a second...
yeah, but you have to log in first

As a linux user, I prefer not to be associated with your overpriced proprietary mac shit.
I know! Who are the ad wizards who came up with this one!
Shouldn't they be using an Apple product instead?

Oh, schools...why do you hate freedom?
Get A BRAIN!
you don't have much else in life to brag about, imo. ;)
That's true for a majority of game nerds, though.
I don't see anything listed on the site, but I hope there is an ISA version. My Trident 8900 is really starting to show its age.
I just upgraded mine over SSH. It says you have to boot into single-user mode a couple times, but my install worked fine without that.
You don't get it. Wires are not cute enough for Mac users. At least, not until you can get a brushed aluminum firewire cable.
go to mlb.com in firefox (on linux, at least), its awesome
haha you said "apple" and "reduce the prices"
Yes, because "Illegal P2P movies" is the only thing that could possibly fill a hard drive.

Chrysler, actually. Same thing though, pretty much.
