    yeah, the ps3 and wii are made by japanese companies.

    good points, but I would like to bother you by pointing out that trash dumping is actually the illegal dumping of trash in places other than landfills.

    I think they took out that feature last year, because of the mighty mouse (old firefox + mighty mouse = extreme "GODDAMN IT STAY ON THE SAME PAGE WHEN I SCROLL" issues)

    huge difference:
    wmp= Critical system component, painful to remove; iTunes= Drag to trash, click delete.
    IE=Critical OS Component; Safari=Easily removeable web browser
    those are the 2 that immediately come to mind.

    It's unfortunately a self-perpetuating windows monopoly. However, with your wireless problem, ndiswrapper is probably your friend. I like the new ubuntu (6.06) because it supports almost everything (I took a quick look at synaptic and it turns out that ndis is bundled in, with large amounts of wireless drivers, so you're set).

    It's most likely an unfortunately acquired habit. A fairly exotic one at that.

    I want to throw up at the shear amount of bullshit posted by this anonymous fuck.

    What high OS prices? Windows costs roughly the same as OS X, particularly taking into account that Apple charges for point releases, while Windows service packs are free.


    Yeah. point releases. Just because apple uses a different versioning system than windows, doesn't mean that there aren't huge changes in between, say, 10.2 and 10.3, or 10.3 and 10.4. Unless Windows XP SP1 came out with exposé for free. Apple service pack releases are the 10.4.x format, and they offer differences similar to xp sp1-sp2.

    And Apple upgrades aren't optional, because Apple software isn't backwards compatible. If you want to program in the most up-to-date XCode, for example, you need the most up-to-date OS X. Compare Windows, where Visual Studio 2005 runs perfectly happily on any version right back to Windows 2000.


    Touché on the xcode v. visual studio thing. However, Apple software is backwards compatible when talking about, say iTunes (10.3.9 min, not 10.4.foo), iWork 2006 (again, 10.3.9 min, or 10.4.3), iLife 2006 (10.3.9), or most other software (not the hardcore pro-level apps though, they require tiger).

    Besides, most Windows users never buy the OS anyway. It's free with their PC. (If it's adding a significant amount to the price of a new PC, how come Apple computers are so much more expensive?)


    Do the research yourself, and come back to me with results. That look nice. And if you're comparing the iMac or the Mac Mini, make sure the cases match up. Good luck.

    My condolences go out to his family. Unfortunately, it appears that he was not wearing a helmet while riding his bicycle. I wonder if a charity for bicycle safety will start in his name
