Linux is actually the system I would choose to have in the most wide
spread use in all areas of computing ... however, since it is given away
for free, fools cannot recognize the value ... hence, not a large enough
market share to interest game developers and other large market share
uses ... it is a crying shame and demonstrates the truth to the

But, dual boot to windows 7 and linux is well worth it ...

John:

Mac OS X does pretty much everything that Linux does plus it was better
support from software and hardware manufacturers.


Can it load up windows libraries and run windows binaries?

MACS are weak, and you will have to abandon any hope of running most
free/shareware apps or even popular mainstream apps ... they just aren't
written for the MAC ... the bitter truth.

I'm not sure about its non-Apple support being better. For instance,
I have to tell Word every time that I want my Kodak printer to print
duplex. Linux has to support all hardware and software.


Howard: pretty much any piece of Linux software can be recompiled for
Mac OS X. So if it works on Linux, you can make it work in precisely the
same way the Linux guys do: compile it and install it.


Better yet, just dump the crap OS X OS and load up linux ... your choice
of apps and games will be MUCH LARGER! Only problem then with be the
actual MAC hardware, which you will have to deal with and upgrade, if
possible.

Nope. Because with Mac OS X you can run Linux apps and games, but Linux
can't run Mac OS X software.

Linux is actually the system I would choose to have in the most wide
spread use in all areas of computing ... however, since it is given
away
for free, fools cannot recognize the value ... hence, not a large
enough
market share to interest game developers and other large market share
uses ... it is a crying shame and demonstrates the truth to the
statement, "85%+ of American are idiots."

But, dual boot to windows 7 and linux is well worth it ...

John:

Mac OS X does pretty much everything that Linux does plus it was better
support from software and hardware manufacturers.


Can it load up windows libraries and run windows binaries?

You mean using WINE? Yup.

MACS are weak, and you will have to abandon any hope of running most
free/shareware apps or even popular mainstream apps ... they just aren't
written for the MAC ... the bitter truth.

Incorrect... ...as usual.


No, it is true ... all of my text ... anyone doubting it needs only
purchase a MAC and find out ... end of story. Let 'em put up or shut up.


Quick:

Name a Linux app you claim the Mac (please note that "MAC" is an acronym
for Media Access Controller, among other things, not the name of Apple's
computers).


Hey, let them buy the MAC and find out, most of us will enjoy a good
laugh. They have been warned ... alright already.

Trust me, if they come back and want to thank you, more power to them,
and you ... roflol!

JS


So you can't name one, then?

I woke up with a gurgling sound comming from my stomach. Of course, Iknew what was going to happen next !
 
So I climbed on top of Markie. I was on all four, with my fat ass
right in the fat ****er's face. I held back for as long as I could.
Then, when I could hold back no more, I just strained as hard as I
could. This let out a loud fart right in Markie's face. As fast as the
fart slid out, along came a rush of liquid ****. Liquid ****, sprayed
all over Markie's face. Some of it sprayed on the sheets and wall.
There was **** every where! Not to mention Markie's beard. Markie face
was caked with my warm ****!

Markie went right to work. He douched my asshole with his tongue.
Markie then placed his lips against my hole, and sucked out even more
****.

By now Markie was stuffed with my ****. I could see he was thirsty. So
I squatted over markie's face and filled his filthy mouth with my
****.

Satisfied, Markie fell asleep, and I'm here on the computer.
