  6. Fuck Mac Users, you thiefs! on Apple Updates Power Mac Line · · Score: -1, Troll

    I got a mac mini a few weeks ago and listed it on ebay

    Someone bought it and paid with paypal.

    The address didnt match the name and it seemed fishy so i refunded the money and relisted it

    It sold again monday, i got paid, shipped it later that monday. yesterday i notice the payment is gone and paypal emailed me saying it might have been paid with stolen funds

    Some theif paid with a stolen paypal account but this time i shipped it so now i have nothing

    The moral of my story? All you mac users are damn criminals who will steal to get your fix

    I hate you all

  14. Re:What about iPod Photo? on The Sony/MP3 Saga Continues · · Score: 1

    because it's still an ipod mp3 player

    i dont know a single person who has an ipod photo that actually uses the photo part of it

    they want an ipod for music, its whats available so they buy it

  15. Re:Egh on The Sony/MP3 Saga Continues · · Score: 1

    you could always buy an fm tuner or microphone adapter

    lots of features can be added.. i only use my ipod to listen to music, why would i want to pay more for a microphone or fm tuner? let that be a separate addon like it is right now so the people who want it can buy it

    ipod looks great and works great and that's all that matters

    (and i got mine for free so that helps too =P)

  21. Re:WTF? on Hoary Hedgehog Ubuntu 5.04 Released · · Score: 5, Insightful

    i'm a windows user (dont hurt me), and ive tried tons of linux distros over the past 10 years. ubuntu is the ONLY one that "just works".. everything of mine worked, it felt fast and clean. No spending hours trying to get it to work with my display, or trying to navigate the thousands of directories with multiple versions of applications that all do the same thing. Every distro ive tried just seemed so bloated and confusing, there was so much stuff i could never find what I wanted. But Ubuntu loaded right up, everything worked, it was super fast (i always wondered how people could use linux, it always seemed slower than a bloated windows install..but not ubuntu), i also like how theres only 1 gui to choose from. It's just fast/clean, and i may eventually switch to it

  22. Re:Does the LiveCD write anything to the hard disk on Hoary Hedgehog Ubuntu 5.04 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    A few months ago my psu went out.. it caused my hard drives to keep shutting off.. and for a few days i needed an OS to use while i waited for my new psu to ship. I used Ubuntu Live.. what a life saver, best distro ive ever used

    But anyway, my drives were disconnected and it didnt give any errors so i assume it doesnt write anything

    I also tried like hell to crash it since it was all in memory, i tried loading everything i could think of, did tons of complex tasks, etc, i couldnt crash the damn thing! =P
