Well, my iMac G3/500 seems much snappier than my father's Pentium4. Of course, his machine is much faster for things like emulation, but OSX itself (10.2) is more responsive than WindowsXP. And it looks much better as well!
You know what'd help? Other than getting 10.4, you could always use RAM, because OSX is a very RAM-hungry beast.
CIRCUMCISION. A pointless, destructive, and monstrously painful procedure. This is something to be expected from savage tribes of irrational beliefs, not from physicians in the world's richest country! More info, click the link in my sig.
No big deal. Here in Brazil, many high profile politicians -- such as chief-of-staff José Dirceu -- are former Cuba-sponsored communist guerilla fighters (fancy left-wing way to say "terrorist" making it sound somewhat good). What's shocking, actually, is that most people don't give a damn about it.
Be? That'd be interesting, since Be sued Microsoft. But it could work anyway... which brings the question: now that Be is dead, who owns the much praised technologies of BeOS?
Okay, everyone knows TV has gone downhill, but what about videogames? There are some really good sci-fi-themed games out there. Wing Commander series, anyone?

The Dvorak layout was designed by August Dvorak and William Dealey in the 1920s/30s. I couldn't find John C.'s birthdate, but I guess he's younger than that.
In my college's library the situation is similar. There's a lot of Marx and other left-wing stuff; but no Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich von Hayek, or Ayn Rand at all. Well, at least they have some Milton Friedman...
Yes, but how many non-Chinese speak mandarin as a second language? Contrast to: how many non-British and non-American speak English as a second language?

Applele has been making mock-up Apple products for a long time - and some of them look pretty good!

A huge difference: every major OS X update - believe it or not - IMPROVES performance on the same hardware, despite all the new features.
I'm guessing 3 is "time travel, back to 1955"...

Yeah, I got ADSL service... but that's because it is the -only- company that serves the area where I live, and I really wanted it anyway.

No way, it's going to be Condi '08!

Yeah... you know, there was a time when people thought 3½ floppies were "hard disks" because their casing was somewhat rigid - unlike 5¼ floppies.
Oh, of course: there are almost no Mac games. Even though Apple's online store has around 130 games listed - go check if you don't believe me. Wanker.
Well, that's an operating system, not a suite.

Wow, I bet these new books will be unreal!
Cyan did that?! Ah, should have guessed - that interface looks confusing like a puzzle from Riven!
Puh-leeze. While everyone knows Microsoft cheats here and there, it's not really his fault that average Joe is too clueless to look into alternatives.
I have been beaten to the joke too, you insensitive clod!

I like Soviet Russia jokes, you insensitive clod! And, in Soviet Russia, jokes like ME!
My current graphics card has only 16MB, you insensitive clod!

Nah. They'll just blame pirates.
Umm... Wikipedia, anyone?
