Yup, I get modded down as troll for criticising Macs and their users and parent get modded up as funny for making a snide remark. Proof that mac users are zealots. Or just plain assholes.
You can get all that and more with Linux. On a PC. And on a Mac. And on a shit load of other architectures. Don't equate Windows or any other OS to x86.
Why doesn't anyone else see this? This is what Apple users look for in their computers -- how good looking the chassis is, how cute the icons are, how pretty the drop-shadows look... And then the advanced, leet, expert mac users nitpick on things like how the file-browser's side-pane displays folders containing 34 image files and a link. I've never seen any Mac/OSX user give any *conrete* reason why Macs are good (let alone better than PCs). I wonder if it's because there aren't any or because the users are too stupid to figure them out.
What? Just because you quoted something from grand-parent, you think mods are going to be decieved and mod me down as troll? Oh wait, this is slashdot...
BTW, might want to get rid of that immediate link to the DVD copy crack on your site, http://brainglass.com/downloads.htm Them there RIAA, MPAA and SPA folks are monitoring this site, ya know.:)
Can't you see the flaw in your logic? If you're that stupid, here's what I mean: Don't upgrade to a new kernel if you don't want problems. With Windows you don't have the option to do otherwise, but with Linux, you do.
The release of knoppix was announced few hours ago but things like the kernel are added much earlier. Like days or weeks earlier. They're not added at the last minute, because distro maintainence is a tough job. And many times ditros contain not the latest version of programs available at the time of the release. There are a lot of reasons. On a side note, people who want infiniband will be able to update the kernel on the knoppix cd.
When Microsoft uses BSD code it's piracy, but when Apple uses BSD code it's contribution? I know that Apple has released some code (Darwin) but it hasn't given back much. It hasn't given its GUI code. It's using BSD code to make profit.

I've heard this many times, what does it mean? Did he do that at some expo or something?
How the fuck is parent offtopic???
Small theives have laws against them. Big theives have laws that regulate them. Really big theives have laws for them.
word.
Of course not. But no one seems to care about ethics.
I'm a troll for pointing out a grammatical mistake?
Would love to see Ed or someone else expand...
It's "I would love to see...".
Uh, PCs support sleep mode too. (with different names of course)
And after one mod mods wrongfully, all other mods blindly follow the original mod without checking whether he was right.
These comments *still* get modded as funny?!?

Clue train: Windows != x86/PC. We have Linux (which works on Macs too).
You can get all that and more with Linux. On a PC. And on a Mac. And on a shit load of other architectures. Don't equate Windows or any other OS to x86.
Windows != PC. You can get all that and more on Linux. And it runs on Macs too.
I agree. But I'm probably the only one on slashdot who agrees with you.

Intel's upcoming Mini PC features all the sleekness and portability (physical, that is) of the Mac Mini with none of the Mac benefits.
And mac mini will not have any of the pc benifits. Mac zealots never miss an oppurtunity to piss on PC.

Q: How low can a Mac user go?
A: Low enough.

Only on slashdot does a post like parent not get modded down as troll.
