    *best* is debatable. Vendor lock-in is a bigger risk with the potential for suddenly losing access to your data.

    When people realize their only hope is to train to be a successful obedient slave they have a tendency to seek measures that will help deaden the pain, and deceive themselves into thinking they really are having a great time. The bonus? They get to pay for it all themselves and go into lifelong debt for their efforts.

    Should have picked a trade before choosing the rank and file of paper pushers, report carriers, metrics analysis and professional privilege checking.

  7. Taking anything without permission is most certainly stealing.

  8. You're full of shit. Try telling a cop that catches you with a stolen item 'I was only borrowing it'. Watch how fast they cuff your ass.

  9. A thief takes something away from the owner dishonestly without the owner's consent, regardless of whether or not they plan on returning it.

    I have, and will again, beat the shit out of anyone I catch stealing as I described above. Most sane people will also. Involving the police will get the stolen item locked up as 'evidence' for years.

    My 'fix' is 100% accurate. Especially if I catch your ass.

    I was talking about sharia law.

    The very real fact remains that I mentioned Sharia Law in reference to it being considered improper to photograph women. Granted in the states I was thankfully proven wrong for our country. I do not condone sharia or it's practices but was using that as an example.

    You can pretend to assign a geographic reference by your own personal assumptions and abuse of logic to declare what another person has on their minds till the cows come home. It makes no difference to me, but you may want to see a psychiatrist for that.

    I can't wait until Summer is over and you kids go back to school.

    Most OS are designed to run on actual hardware. Virtualization is great for servers where the primary focus is the NIC(s) and not the GPU(s).

  23. Wow, way to over-think things.

    What I am saying is my experience with a Mac was wholly under-whelming. You may have been able to make things work. Bravo for you. My experience with a Mac has been trying to get a square peg to go into a round hole.

    Photoshop, some involves Maya and or Lightwave. Some involves PowerPoint, and some involves Excel

    Everyone can do this. It's not hard. Hell my *phone* can do it. Altering text files to configure two disparate systems to speak with each other? Fantastic.

    But what can your Mac talk to as far as equipment is concerned? Industrial automation? Sensor to shooter systems? IC2? PWM? High traffic network servers ?

    No.

  24. You and everyone else just made my point about consumer-level 'work'.

    I am talking about interfacing with real hardware. Big industrial one-off stuff.

    Go back to your photoshop, Maya scanners drones etc. Play-things for adults.

    Sorry to burst your bubble.

  25. imho, Macs are great at giving people the impression they are getting shit done, when in reality a lot of times it's really only consumer level word-processing that's going on.

    Hell you can barely game on a Mac. I gave one a real try when I was a DOD contractor. There wasn't squat I could do with it but use it for the web, email, and making documents.

    When you want to connect external peripherals to interact with the rest of the world you aren't going to see Macs. You're going to see PC's running Linux. There are no professional Mac embedded systems that are mature, robust or widely known.
