Not everything you disagree with is BS.


More importantly, who uses which computer operating system is really
about as unimportant an argument as things get. The output is the same.
The output is what matters. How one gets there has to do with choices
based on priorities intrinsic to the individual. Your priorities and
your choices create no incumbency on anyone but yourself.

Further which O/S is better depends on application and the users'
needs. Again, only the output matters.

And PC World did a very interesting article a year or so ago, so you
can, in fact, look it up, (and they did an update again, this year,) in
which they compared Apples to PC's point for point on performance, and
found that to purchase the same performance that comes standard in an
Apple, a PC user would have to spend, while buying the most cost
effective solutions available at the time, nearly $1000 more than the
price of the Apple. And they found this to be true of notebooks AND
desktops.

So, again, not everything you disagree with is BS.

And your needle is still stuck.

which they compared Apples to PC's point for point on performance, and
found that to purchase the same performance that comes standard in an
Apple, a PC user would have to spend, while buying the most cost
effective solutions available at the time, nearly $1000 more than the
price of the Apple. And they found this to be true of notebooks AND
desktops.

So, again, not everything you disagree with is BS.


Yeah, they compared a mid-power PC to a MAC ... my nephews blows them
out of the water ... and, if it the article I am viewing, the
comparison
is to a 400 Mhz processor on the PC, and single core to boot!

The PC is superior to MAC in many if not most ways ... but that can
ONLY
be appreciated by the people which run them ... or, simply, I would not
ask a garbage collector for "his opinion" ...

Yeah OK, good fodder from a gamer! That's who the whole tech world
really listens to...

Fact is, soon as you buy a MAC, you are going to find out here are tons
of applications and hardware which is not supported and is beyond your
use ... ever ...

Most all of which you won't actually care about, that is IF you even
knew of the problem. For the vast majority of users, the OS isn't all
that big a deal.


People are the ONLY importance ... the computer is just a tool ...

Regards,
JS



Even more insane BS ... as anyone purchasing a MAC, and using software
for demanding tasks (well, even video games, for that matter), will
shortly find out ...

If you don't need a powerful computer, you can probably get by with a
MAC and remain ignorant to the differences ... that is like, DUH MAN!
roflol

Or, simply, why buy a Peterbilt if everything you haul fits in your
pickup ...

JS

If you weren't playing games all the time, you'd know that most of the
big gains in the last 2 years are really being wasted.



I don't know, my wife is fascinated with the algorithms exploiting the
chaos theory and the "unreal number set" (An imaginary number is any
number that is the product of a real number and the square root of
negative one (-1)).

She doesn't think the printing out and giving away of TONS of these
things is a wasted ... indeed, "they" actually have the gonads to call
it "art!"

I call it a waste of ink ... but I do see trees, snowflakes, elves ears,
corn cobs, mushrooms, leaves, demon faces, etc. in the drawings ... and
I don't have to smoke pot to see 'em, that is a plus!

I never said that Microsoft doesn't set specs or defining things.

You, again, seem to have a real problem with semantics ... usually a
problem for those with no or inadequate educations.


"YOU can build a driver using the Visual Studio development environment,
or YOU can build a driver directly from the command line using the
Microsoft Build Engine (MSBuild). To build drivers for Windows Developer
Preview, Windows 7, and Windows Vista, use Visual Studio and MSBuild. To
build drivers for Windows XP, YOU must use the Windows 7 WDK and the

almost always has been ...

If that crapola you just posted was true, we'd all be using it. But
Windows and most other desktop OS's represent a set of compromises so
they can do what they do in a mostly good fashion.

There are and continue to be, other OS's that are better suited to some
particular task but they don't get in the news and aren't used by many.

And PC World did a very interesting article a year or so ago, so you
can, in fact, look it up, (and they did an update again, this year,) in
which they compared Apples to PC's point for point on performance, and
found that to purchase the same performance that comes standard in an
Apple, a PC user would have to spend, while buying the most cost
effective solutions available at the time, nearly $1000 more than the
price of the Apple. And they found this to be true of notebooks AND
desktops.

So, again, not everything you disagree with is BS.


Yeah, they compared a mid-power PC to a MAC ... my nephews blows them
out of the water ... and, if it the article I am viewing, the comparison
is to a 400 Mhz processor on the PC, and single core to boot!

The PC is superior to MAC in many if not most ways ... but that can ONLY
be appreciated by the people which run them ... or, simply, I would not
ask a garbage collector for "his opinion" ...

Yeah OK, good fodder from a gamer! That's who the whole tech world
really listens to...

Fact is, soon as you buy a MAC, you are going to find out here are tons
of applications and hardware which is not supported and is beyond your
use ... ever ...

Most all of which you won't actually care about, that is IF you even
knew of the problem. For the vast majority of users, the OS isn't all
that big a deal.


People are the ONLY importance ... the computer is just a tool ...

Regards,
JS



Even more insane BS ... as anyone purchasing a MAC, and using software
for demanding tasks (well, even video games, for that matter), will
shortly find out ...


You realize that Mac are preferred computers for doing film editing,
right?

That's pretty demanding.


If you don't need a powerful computer, you can probably get by with a
MAC and remain ignorant to the differences ... that is like, DUH MAN!

Or, simply, why buy a Peterbilt if everything you haul fits in your
pickup ...

There might not be another president and the president we have now could
become our dictator. All he needs to do is pull off another false flag and
this time impose marshal law.

What was truly amazing, is EVERYTHING which was needed to construct the
original MAC was already laying about on the shelves, just waiting to be
picked up and assembled into a working unit.

Jobs and Wozniak were able to see that and assemble it ... however, the
really important question is, why were all these parts just lying about?
Why had the components been created without the realization of what
their real purpose(s) was/were/are?

For most people, it went over their heads, and still does, for that
matter ... still, jobs and wozniak were pretty smart guys to solve a
mystery which had escaped the rest of the world ...

The list of living criminal presidents keeps growing ... indeed, they
are batting 100% -- not one in the bunch aren't deserving! But, that
number is dwarfed by the number of senators and representatives
deserving the same ...

They have certainly went on with MAJOR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. I see
it having the effect of taking the morons minds off of the inside job
and murders at the WTC.

The trail of death and destruction left behind by this administration of
criminals eclipses the last ... the future false flags will be of
monumental proportions to take our minds off these ...
