And in what way are TPB like selling legal drugs? TV-series addiction? Ok on that one.. Porn addiction aswell maybe.
But I found it pretty obvious he mean illegal drugs, and over here in Sweden only Apoteket are allowed to sell both prescription and non-prescription drugs (as in medicine), only Systembolaget are allowed to sell alcohol over 3.5% or whatever it is and it it's not a restaurant, regular stores are however allowed to sell coffee, tea, tobacco and just recently nicotine gums aswell.
See my reply to the other guy, I find it hard to know how to write some words because it's not as simple as always typing them together when you say them together, but it's not as simple as never type them together either:) (I think? But then again maybe all the words which are written together in english are supposed to be words on their own so to speak and not written-together-words.)
I don't know how to use to and too either and I sometimes fail with simple stuff such as is and are;D
But as long as people understand what I mean I don't bother so much.
Ok, but a very limited amount of words in english are written together? But then I get it, and ofcourse I didn't mean noon (I don't know if it's ofcourse or of course either, the later seems to be when you are going out of track;D)
In Sweden all words which sounds like one are written like one, which many swedes fail at doing nowadays because they don't care or because of english influences or something. But anyway, I guess that's one reason which makes it harder for me to know which way is the right one. (Like, I shouldn't type "of course", "any way", "mid night" I guess?)
You know Avast suck but still use it? I guess it's not worth than those people who PAY for an antivirus which are as bad or worse than Avast. Personally I found Avast rather annoying. AOL doesn't offer their free version of Kaspersky longer but I guess Avira Antivir are still ok. On my sisters computers I installed firewall, antivirus and antispyware from Comodo. I have no idea if their antivirus are any good but their products doesn't annoy you, are free and I really like their firewall so why not use the rest aswell:)
And yes, I know this are offtopic, but who cares, I like my Internet forums/threads/IRC/whatever for discussion, no mather what's the subject.
Funny that you got moderated offtopic for that. Sure it's right but if you had started to bash some Microsoft product you had been allright afterwards anyway. I guess someone likes firefox a lot or just can't handle any critisism. (And yes, I prefer Opera to but I'am mostly in Safari which suck and don't even have Firefox installed.)
But macs are expensive to begin with, sure that doesn't help, but I guess it doesn't add as much on the price as if you compared one of the cheapest dell boxes with similair equipment.
I to would choose most bang for the buck quad core 2 duo, ddr3 and a single pci-express card thought.
But then most of their consumers probably don't want to bother with sockets, fsbs, and supported CPUs and memory speeds, but then again I agree that being able to use lots of ram, 4 graphics cards and lots of xeon cores are overkill for most and especially me.
But as others have pointed out, they probably belive (and are right) that there are way to little money in the lowend market, and that the additional features of the mac pro doesn't cost that much more on top of the already high price.
Hate: Gay, post didn't worked and then I clicked something else and notice my post wasn't posted. The text was still there so I pressed submit and the got a message saying bla bla cut your tounge, so I pressed edit and my text was removed. Good work Slashdot! Why not use the text in the text area instead on the server... Ok, pressed back and the message system was shown, pressed this thread and my post came back. Fucked up. Anyway:
But are there really any difference on the cards except firmware? Nvidias Windows-/Solaris-/Linux-/FreeBSD-drivers supports all the cards, why wouldn't they work with all cards in OS X? Especially since so many cards works even now once one add their id number on a hack.
If different means retarded I guess you are right, but I don't like that kind of different.
Like one have issues with graphics cards in PCs.. Or like I would call someone in india to resolve it.
Sort of almost all graphics cards works with macs, just don't original ones, yeah, great! If Apple wanted of course even more would had worked.
I call bullshit and just old fashion / being able to sell the "mac" graphics cards themself at even higher price/profit.
Especially considering the macs use EFI and not BIOS, but then again the hacks works nice with BIOS graphics cards so it can't be that much of a deal if Apple wanted to use them. To require a special mac graphics card are so fucking retarded I don't know where to start.
Probably not as much "because he knows people will buy it" as "he knows he would have to somehow guarantee that whatever hardware you wanted to throw in would work", that's the only real argument for why they haven't done so yet. Eventually together with "it would make it easier to copy OS X since it would have to support more hardware anyway" aswell.
Mac hardware are special, but not in a good way;D, or well, the computers and mp3-players aren't, the access points and phone are.
If there are no agreement why the fuck are they using it? Do you run into a bus or train and when your ticket are controlled you yell "omg I haven't signed a contract!! What did I do wrong?! How could I know I had to buy a ticket?" (I guess that may even work..)
Slashdot be the highest concentration of retards anywhere...
Also why are everyone assuming anal sex are something bad? Afaik more girls seems to have a positive attitude towards it once tried than a negative. And since it's likely to be even better for men, or atleast as good, it probably are for them aswell.
I know the answer to the last one: OS X in case the application in question supports multiple documents/projects/... Because in that case it assumes that you may want to make or open a new one. If you wan't to quit the application in case of just the document/project you are working with just quit it. It's not that hard to press apple-q you know.
I was confused to at first thought. But I'm not here to say either approch are right or wrong.
It would be fucking annoying if you indeed WANTED to switch document or make a new track and the whole application closed down when you didn't wanted it to.
Also it speeds up eventual relaunch of the application in question and doesn't "cost" anything if you already have enough ram.
I don't think it's good that Apples restricts it. But I won't say it's bogus and unenforceable.
But it's just so retarded to pretend that you are right and didn't understood better and that whatever you don't like must be wrong.
I'm a pirate, I copy whatever software and games I feel a need for and can copy, and some music and some movies. But I'm not pretending it's right an all ok. I just do it anyway. I'm not shouting "noone who makes software, music or movies should be paid for their work!", I just don't pay knowing I took it without paying.
If you want to hack OS X and run it on your machine, you may do so, don't just pretend and try to make up excuses and tell people how it's all ok. It's not, but you did it anyway, fine.

Maybe he was dealing suspects to the law ;D
I don't know, maybe because selling drugs ARE a crime? Atleast over here. Hosting a torrent tracker may not be. Time will tell.
They don't really tell, they can be octal or hexadecimal for all we know aswell, or something completely else.

I don't get the point, and if noone wasn't the right word to use, which I doubt, I say fuck it and only reply with: English isn't my native language.
Depends on how much memory mapped IO you have. Without or with a low memory graphics card, no soundcard, usb and firewire disabled, and so on maybe.
Of course Vista can use more than 3GB of ram? So yes, you are misstaken.
(And no, noone have to reply to me because I know the issue, but he still failed.)

Same with europe I guess. How did great britain, spain, france and so on get their money in the first place? ...
I'm quite sure all cards do work in VESA mode on hacks, but very many work in accelerated more with quartz extreme and core image acceleration aswell.
ATI 3870 X2 works on a hack, but only one of the GPUs because OS X doesn't support SLI. What are the newest one you can use on mac pro?
But then most of their consumers probably don't want to bother with sockets, fsbs, and supported CPUs and memory speeds, but then again I agree that being able to use lots of ram, 4 graphics cards and lots of xeon cores are overkill for most and especially me.
