I’d like to see a Mac top this.
Just need to telnet to that address in Terminal for the Mac. Not that hard, pretty much every internet connected machine on this Earth can do that.
Yeah but PCs are affordable.
Just that the ones you’ll get will be terrible to use.
Yeah, much better to pay twice as much for the same parts so you can use a question mark in your filenames.
IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT THE FILENAMES!
And they’re not the same parts. I’ve used a lot of what people say the “affordable” PCs that use the “same parts” and they’re absolutely abhorrent to use.
OK, very tempting to call you a little whippersnapper right now. A computer is a tool, at least it is to those of us who make a living using them. Windows has its place, OS X has its place, Linux has its place, BSD has its place, Unix has its place. But it is lame/wrong to think one of these is perfect for all uses.
If only I knew how to use markdown I could get my point across better!
Some things are better designed than others. It’s not all opinion in everything, there is an amount of objectiveness.
(bringing this into the off-topic crap-fest where it belongs)
dude, you are not only wrong, but you are annoying while doing it. what do you even use computers for that you think your opinions matter in the slightest to others? In other words, why do i care that you love a mac and hate windows? if its just because you like the shiny, then please stop talking.
its a tool. tools are designed for a purpose.
if you are building a house, you probably have like, at least four different ways of hammering a nail into wood. pneumatic nail-gun, framing hammer, pneumatic finishing nail-gun, soft-face hammer. Probably more. don’t tell me about other hammers i forgot, take that to the “different types of hammers” thread that you are suddenly and compulsively tempted to create. The point is, if i ever met someone who said they built houses, but went on and on about how their soft-face hammer is the best because it never marks up the wood, i would know that they are not really building houses. they just like holding hammers.
if you are still reading, sorry for how harsh i am in this post (that is why this is off-topic right?) but i feel like you deserve it for creating this thread.
JEDIT: ok you didn’t create this thread my bad, but you did bring it back to life for some reason.
