What would you use, Word? For simple text-only notes, less is better. If I need to jot down a phone number quickly before I forget, I'm just gonna hit notepad (or pico on unix) and be typing it in seconds; I don't want to wait several minutes for Word to get it's bloated ass in gear.
Damnit, I can't wait until someone that idiot pisses off one of the few gamers who are crazy and violent, and gets himself shot or something.
If there was any justice in the world, god would have struck him down with a bolt of lightning by now.
I should mention, though, that that's exactly what I do. I have this Mac right here, using Adium and Thunderbird and Firefox and iTunes and such; then I have that PC to my right, running Steam and Tribes 2 and Quake and Doom and such.
For 95% of games worth playing, Games = Multiplayer. Multiplayer = Network connection.
You can only play the single player Starcraft campaign so many times before you crave a real opponent.
The thought of using one of my own computers and not having absolute, immediate control over it, makes my skin crawl.
I rule each box with an iron fist.
Macs are hardly immune to this slowdown. My eMac needs an archive/install every two years or so, at least.
And besides, you're an idiot. You don't get an opinion.
Flashblock and NukeAnything Enhanced. Blcoks flashes from playing until you tell them to, and allows you to remove any objects from a page, just make it dissappear.
I'm trying, but plane tickets to Sweden are expensive, and Australia is even more so. Canada's already packed with fleeing hippies, and France would lynch me.
Anyone wanna take bets as to who's ass this statistic was pulled out of?
I doubt it's a completely baseless claim, though. I know several people who have already or are considering switching to Mac, in light of how much the company overall has improved in the later half-dozen years.
Yannoe what I think it needs? Linux specifically, anyway: a GUI for _everything_. Joe Average Outlook-user is terrified by the command line. Fix it so that he can pretend it doesn't exist, and he'll be much happier.
Open-cell foam is what's commonly used in cases that have filters. It seems to work pretty well. You could also use a metal screen, like those used in windows. That way, it'd be reausable and easier to clean.
Of course, dust filtering in my case is near impossible. I've got a Cooler Master Centurion 5; the whole damn thing is covered in ventilation holes.

How do you figure? I'd rather have annoying bloat slowing me down while reading a note than while writing one.

Someone hit that guy over the head with a copy of 1984.
What unites people more then a common goal?
Perhaps a common enemy?
Yes, but it would make me feel better for the tens seconds before I realized that.

A shockingly valid point. I use windows entirely for gaming, and when I need to use that PC for something else, I boot Ubuntu.

You got them already? I ordered mine the day they were released, and still got nothing.
Tear out your normal furnace altogether. Then install some ducting and fans, and use the room to heat your whole house.
You're entirely right. I justed needed to RTFA all the way through. Terribly sorry, please excuse my momentary idiocy.
Seems to me this might be a response to the Video iPod.

Grab one cheap out of the clearance section, if you like, before they're all gone.
http://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/ Read the FAQ for details, but the gist of it is dirt-cheap prices and enourmous flexebility.
I'm going to make a game that ends in the player killing themself, hype it up a whole lot, and let the problem solve itself.

I know, isn't it great? I do that to people all the time, and they rarely figure it out. Oh, did you mean for actual usage...?
