It cost me $1 to buy a cheeseburger this afternoon, and to my knowledge no person was killed in the process.
So I guess with your logic, the government should spend billions on cheeseburgers.
Well, I wouldn't mind.
I would get an older, sturdy laptop to use. I have had a Dell Inspiron 7500 (300mhz, can't remember) that has lived forever.
I also have a Powerbook G4 Ti, that thing is indestructable. I accidentally ran it over with my car (late 80's Mercedes S-Class. Basically, a tank with leather seats) and it was completely undamaged.
Real users don't run everything Microsoft (although they should;)
That's like saying real car buffs should buy cars that will break down five miles down the road.
[I]Also it's "bourgeois", for someone who's telling me to read the Communist manifesto, I'm surprised you can't spell the word that is probably the most used in the text.[/I]
What position are you in to critique somebody's spelling skills?
In case you forgot, here are a few gems you've dropped in this thread alone:
indepth (in-depth)
co-inside (coincide)
ironey (irony)
evenally (evenly)
interlectual (intellectual)
bitter-sweet (bittersweet)
Don't get me started on your grammer, capitalization, punctuation, and logic skills. I need to be somewhere in a few hours.
Hold on... You state that/.er's love the ideals that 'co-inside' (you have a way with words) with communism, and they blast the threads that are pro-capitalism...
You call this 'ironey' (again, a lovely way with words)?
Sounds pretty consistent to me.
But you see, that is just a niche. What about the thousands of freelancers, web designers, etc? Graphic manipulation software are tools used to accomplish something.
You can use an expensive table saw to cut through a block of wood. You can also cut through that wood with a handsaw, circular saw, it doesn't matter, because in the end the task has been completed.
Different strokes for different folks.
Is that because you've been using Photoshop for years and just tried out the Gimp and realized that it's not set up like Photoshop (gasp!)?
Well I thought the same thing the first time I gave it a whirl. But I realized that if I've been using the Gimp for the past seven years, I would have had a hard time adjusting to Photoshop. It's all relative.

Yeah, I set it down because I was cleaning out the interior at the time. I meant to put it back in after I finished, but completely forgot.

You realize that most people are on a budget, right?
I'd assume that if they could get the cpu to run at 10GHz, it wouldn't be that much harder to get the fsb to run at a decent speed.

And there will still be some guy going "FIRST POST!" then BAM
Why would I need to watch TV on my laptop when it's 80 gig drive holds hours of porn?

You know, the three step program.
1) Distribute OS for free
2) ???
3) Profit!
All successful companies follow it, and so far, it hasn't failed yet.
In other news, beating dead horses has reached an all time high.
