Why don't all the people who are fed up with their health insurance start their own health insurance company? They can get the socialist healthcare people to join them as well as the poor who cannot afford their own healthcare and that's already a large group. They charge a low fee to be a member, and they guarantee to pay for anything you need.
I mean, it's a free country with a basically free market. Why not take advantage of it and open up competition if you hate all the existing companies so badly?
Moore could lead the funding with all the money he makes off of his lie- I mean movies.
I'm going to say that any system that steals from the working population to help the people who refuse to work is a system that is nowhere near perfect and quite a ways off from ideal.
Yeah, because yearly updates that cost money are needed by all. Ohwaitno. Nothing's wrong with iLife '06. Relax. Go play Madden 06, 07, and 08 while you wait.
Selling gold, of course. Even if they've sold off IGE they still made INSANE profits when they owned 'em. Considering how IGE has been more or less endorsed by Blizzard, you just KNOW they made a shit-ton of cash.
I have something like a star field cluster for a background. Pretty much a bunch of black with greenish white dots. There's some of the cluster behind the "Help" menu but it doesn't keep me from being able to read "Help" and it doesn't look bad, either. The regular menus being transparent over my open document/browser/whatever actually is pretty cool.
I've had leopard installed for about two days now and the semi-transparent menu bar is actually pretty nice. It doesn't jump out at you when you look near the top of documents.. It's just kinda.. there, but in the background.
The reflections from the dock are also very nice. It actually reflects everything, even video.
I get higher FPS in games under Vista than I did under XP. I can use the same logic as you did and say that THAT means that Apples are made out of liquid metal.
You just want to bash Microsoft and Vista. At least have a reason.
I work at a hospital and we just upgraded from 2000 to XP for desktops. Hell, we just upgraded from Pentium 2s to p4s. Which amused me. I can use Firefox, Outlook, and Meditech and I have a P4 with Hyperthreading.
I'm a Mac user but I have a desktop with Vista on it which I use for watching movies, TV Shows, playing games and listening to music. I have yet to encounter Vista being ridden with DRM that is bent on controlling whatever crap I do with the computer. Actually, the only DRM I've encountered was through the iTMS.
Without a monitor? Mac Mini. Except the specs on that are way higher than the Ubuntu computer Dell's offering. But Apple's not a budget computer company. If you want one, and can afford it, get one. Else, stop crying. I love my MBP and I also love my home built gaming desktop. The desktop computer was a grand total of like $800 (without hard drives or monitor) and the laptop was $2600. They both have their uses, and I'm not saying you HAVE to use one or the other.
Honestly, I'm going to stop being nice. You're just being a shithead about this.
You haven't made one fucking point. Except to brag about being a nerd longer than Microsoft has existed. Good work? But what does that have to do with you saying "lets hold back the possibility of inventing some cool new shit because when I was young we invented new shit that we never used."
Honestly, if you're this negative you should probably end your life. Or find some strong medication.
How does using a different brand of computer make you a "douche"? I think it's the average mac user themselves who think that because they own a Mac they're superior. Actually, I think they thought that before they even got the Mac. I'm a recent switcher, 6 months now, and I don't think I'm any more of a douche than I was before. I'm not a hippy and I'm not artistic, I just like it because it's something I've never used before and it does just about everything I need to do and it's more stable/easier to use than Windows.
And if nobody gave a shit about Macs, why does Apple have a bigger market share than Toshiba and currently has the same size market share as Gateway? Oh, and Apple's market share is growing every day much faster than either of those two companies.
"1) Proprietary system that is only in small part, OSS"
I can agree there.
"2) Standard PC hardware with fancy plastic that is much more overpriced than the same hardware minus fancy plastic"
You're going by old info. You can configure a Dell and an Apple with the same specs and the prices are quite close.
"3) A OS that is more expensive over it's life that even Winblows - and Apple CURRENTLY charges serious coin for major OS updates"
$129 is serious coin? And remember, this is for the MAJOR updates. Also, they're lax on the DRM, since you usually have to have the hardware to run the OS.
"4) A secure coding and patch release methodology that is *years* behind MS"
Patch and release when it's found, not once a month?
"5) Apple regularly lies about the performance capabilities of its' machines"
For example? I'd love to see some examples here.
"6) Apple uses Solaris and Windows (Apple china ran it until 03) because of their superior stability compared to OS X."
Proof please.
All in all, you're arguing against the Apple that no longer exists.

I'll say it again, but this time add something else:
Don't let your fanboism level of hate for something you wish you could have, but could never afford, get in the way of you actually learning things.
Learn Things, Fuckteeth!
Not posted anon because I want you to know you fail on epic levels.

"Why does Apple hate DRM on audio, but not on Software or Video?"
Their OS includes no activation or DRM.

Actually, the new numbers say there are over TWELVE MILLION active World of Warcraft accounts.

You're now taking the place of TMM in my foe list.
Happy downmods.

Go back to Digg, gaiafag.
So you're making fun of.. yourself? That's interesting.
So you're, what, like 13 years old? "lol raed gamer forums"
That's not PROOF, guy.
Plus, gamers tend to lie and exaggerate. Constantly.

You just want to bash Microsoft and Vista. At least have a reason.
Really? Because the processor load in Vista while doing anything isn't 20-30% higher than it was in XP.
Do you have any proof?
It's not much to look at, reminds me of Windows 3.1 actually. But it works VERY well for all departments. I've got no complaints about it.

I'll quote my quote from your quote of me.
"If you want one, and can afford it, get one. Else, stop crying."
"I got a call at 3am in the morning"
As opposed to 3am at night?
