I can't seem to find it, but I've read a letter from Teksavvy's CEO about needing to throttle some users in some over-subscribed areas, to the point that they couldn't accept new subscribers anymore and adding people to a waiting list. They had problems leasing more lines to increase capacity or something.
It's not that OS X is slower than Windows, it's that most companies doing so-called Mac "ports" don't port their code at all and wrap their Windows code inside a wrapper like Cider. If you have to emulate the OS calls AND translate the Direct 3D calls to OpenGL calls, of course it's going to be slower.

It's Zombies and Androids! Run!
Something's wrong, the reading I'm getting is -573 days.
You mean similar to this, but with more sane options?
And the future is now!
They already tried it. It became a human.
And some people want money for their manure. Does that make shit legal tender?
Maybe it's similar to being Nook'ed.
That's why everybody should drink Brawndo!
If it had done something it wouldn't be art! /sarcasm
You have no idea how many great games you missed.
Night Stalker, D&D, Astrosmash, Bump'n Jump, good (for the time) arcade ports, etc.
I smell a Waterworld+Armageddon movie coming up.

That proves their system works!
Replying to remove the "funny" mod... stupid pull-down menus with auto-submit!
Canada has similar ranges. We got above 35C a few days ago and it went below -30C last winter.
Also, from -40C to 30C is a range of 70, not 90.
Yeah, who the hell has $100 for Starbucks these days!

Can we bring those improvements to Mac OS X?
Save the Earth, use Linux!
You don't care about the environment? You know, that place you live in? The only one available with no alternatives?
Okay then.
Save your wallet, use Linux!
Linux Desktop? Nope. Desktops are dying anyway, almost everyone has moved to laptops.
Year of the Linux game console, perhaps?
Oh crap, they've switched from lasers to nukes!
The plans are free, the software is free... they should call it free-printing!
Announcing Windows 15!
Or you can wait two weeks and upgrade directly to Windows 19!
Microsoft Windows Mountain 8.
Indeed. 98SE is the best!
