  10. Comparing windows to mac on A Former Microsoftie Forecasts Microsoft Doom · · Score: 1

    Ok both windows and macs are OS's but that is the only thing they have in comin. Mac has one big advantage/disadvantage in my mind. Mac only runs on mac hardware. I am sure if microsoft sold windows on there own hardware, windows would be a more stable platform.

    I have owned a Mac, I have used and still do use linux, but for my home use and for work I use windows. I think there is way to much anti microsoft hate in the world, and it just slows down progress.

    If you don't like microsoft, don't use it.
    If you don't like linux, don't use it.
    If you don't like Macs, don't use it.

    I have used windows since dos days. I bought a Mac G4 when they first came out, loved it for awhile but lack of software got old quick. I even got tired of windows in 2001 and switched to linux (mandrake) for 3 months, but I switched back. Why, even if windows crashes 3 times a day, gets stupid errors, or is slow sometimes it was not as hard as getting linux to work on my pc and keep it work. While on linux I had alot of problem with the gui crashing. Sure it would crash to a prompt, meaning I lost no data but its still a crash. For my life I choose Window for home, windows for work, linux for my server, and macs are pretty to look at in the apple store.

  12. Comparing Sears Catalog to Ebay on Is eBay Worse Than Early Sears Catalogs? · · Score: 1

    How can you compare ebay to a sears catalog. Sears is one company selling to many users. Ebay is many sellers saling to many users. Each seller on ebay has there own refund, exhange, warrenty rules. Ebay is providing a easy connection between the buyers and seller, they are not responsible for each item on there site.

  13. CSS - Reality in my eyes on Core CSS (2nd ed.) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have never used only CSS to design a website solo for the fact it is still browser dependent. I find a good mix of common CSS, good old HTML, and common sense works best.
