Thanks for not taking my post the wrong way even with the moderation it got. Don't forget you could install windows on the mac now anyway. I also suggested the mac because of its stability and the fact that there are tons of educational titles in those Apple stores so you'd never be stuck for anything.
Waiters don't "convince" people to change their order based on their personal preferences. They "recommend" or "suggest" and are polite about it, they need not say anything else.
Besides, who says he isn't fixing their computer by suggesting a different OS?
Is this a delayed post from 1999? You talk of P-II, Cyrix and 64 megs, these things called Mhz and you mentioned Debian, I thought all this died years ago?
I like your analogy, MS has made the house and the 3rd party companies fill said house with furniture. The only problem is with this analogy is that MS forgot to build the house with any windows or doors!
I don't know, I don't remember but I liked it because the episode had a decent ending. The bit where is dad walks back in from work but is supposed to be dead.
I'm going to assume its a collection of things which fit under your definition:
God damn Emo's, Moshers, Loners, Art Students, Mac users, Goths, the kids who where Che Guevara T-shirts and wear their caps on the side of their heads with baggy denims who think they are sticking it to the man and any other type of juvenile group who have ideals that don't conform to mainstream society. You know the ones that think they are at the forefront of everything which their own parents experienced when they were younger.
I just worked back through the conversation and I believe you should have been venting at the original poster, I am not AuMatar:

Dude you got the wrong person.:) Don't worry we are only human. But you are right in one respect towards me, I WAS pulling stuff out of my ass, but purely for comedy purposes.
Er just one thing, you do know my original post WAS purely fictitious, I shouldn't need to point this out either unless it was really *that* clever, its purpose was to take the piss. Are you replying to the right person here? I just made shit up to make a point based on what I thought (so i didn't need to cite my sources, I was the source! That was the joke, to parody your original post. I also never mentioned anything about something being 10%.
This was my original post:
"25% of what you said seemed logical, 35.4% of what you said seemed to be plausable for arguments sake and with the remaining 39.6%, i refuse to believe, not yet, you haven't convinced me. Maybe in 2011 what you say might be 100% true. But for now that is how the statistics speak and incase you are wondering they speak for themselves."
Listen friend, with a 5 digit slashdot UID you should know better. If you took a step back from what you original posted you'd see you was a bit overboard with your argument, you threw a lot of facts and figures around without anything to back it up.
Here I am sitting here thinking "that sounds like a load of shit, where is his proof of these estimations and calculations?"
I don't mean to be a prick but I'm here discussing this with you so you raise the quality of your input when discussing stuff. No offense.

I was joking, the post seemed to come from the past, I haven't heard some of those words for years which was why I had to mention it.
Buy your daughter a educational iMac, don't skimp on your children.

Plus its a mac, we mac users just lap this kind of shit up!
Its not a fucking race... but i'm first!

If you know what it says then you are just as smart and I can finally change it.
The melting of the arctic ice doesn't effect sea levels, its the Antarctic that we should be worried about.

The first episode was quite good.
Those were good times... :)

The point is, you cite percentages and estimations but you cite no sources, or provided links, so in my view its all made up.
