Also: I do like the name “yackwhicks.” 😉

i would hope you like your name, why else would you have chosen it?

My name is yackwicks. It’s a random combination of words with no meaning.

Proof: I got it from random.org.

thats not how proof works

Is this better? (I joined on May 23rd of this year)

yikes. well, if it was anyone else i would consider it proof, because who would take all the time to doctor their search history to prove a point.

Shouldn’t that make my proof more trust-able?

I did not do try to “cheat” at this. Even your version of me would think it’s a waste of effort. What more proof do you want?

Because I’ll give you all of it.

i don’t need any proof. you can’t prove things on the internet.

but you seem like a nice person, so sorry for treating you like you are not a nice person (just proving that i understand markdown, because it felt like a lark. but honestly, i believe all people are deserving of respect, so i am am going to try to act like it and give you more respect)

Don’t bother trying to give me a fake genuineness of being nice to me, as you seem to be doing by all your strikethroughs.

no, that was me having a lark. should have made those two comments in two posts i guess. to separate them more.

I agree, but what you say should also apply to baseless haters of a particular system; “anti-fanboys”, if you will.

you raise a good point. I wasn’t making any of those statements, but they are in this thread. So i don’t hate your use of OS X. In fact i applaud it, because you are using the best tool for your job. i do hate yackwicks arguments in favor of OS X, because they are dumb.

I am standing by the ‘its a tool’ statement because that is all there is to it. I don’t hate Apple, i don’t hate Microsoft. I do hate Fanboyism.

If the software you need is only available on one OS, then of course that is what you should use. why not?

If you work on lots of windows based business software, then you probably should be using Windows.

If you manage lots of linux servers, then maybe using linux is a better choice.

but as soon as you make statements about an OS that are not based on its utility to you, then i ignore you, because you are a fanboy.

and that is its utility to YOU. so don’t push your opinions on others.

said as someone who uses most of the OS’s on a regular basis.

I’ve been trying to get the download links for the three 25 GB movie only discs, but njvc did not respond to my PM. He probably just missed it and will reply at some point but since my download speed is quite slow and he wants to take them down soon, I was wondering if anyone else could send me those three links so that I can get these masterpieces while I can.
Thank you very much 😃

PM’d

Just curious, has anyone downloaded the Bonus discs?

OPTIONAL BONUS DISCS (fanedits)

STAR WARS: Adywan’s Star Wars Revisited (DVD5)
THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK: njvc’s Pulp Empire (BD25)
RETURN OF THE JEDI: TMBTM’s War of the Stars Parts I&II (DVD9)

I have the links to everything else but not these for some reason. I’m especially interested in Pulp Empire, I believe that is v2 and I only have v1 right now.

PM’ed

Consider me interested too, i just checked my history and i thought i had links for these, but don’t 😦

Solaris (2002)
6/10

i haven’t seen this in 12 years or so, but it seems just as good now as it did then. But is more of a psychological sci-fi and doesn’t really try to wow with special effects, so the special effects still seem to work just fine. I like that it leaves its meaning open to interpretation. (basically, it still confuses me, hah)

has anyone seen the 1972 version of this? worth seeing?

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.

Just means he knows an ability Vader does not.

I wouldn’t even say “knows” as it implies it can be learnt. Emperor simply has an extremely rare given ability/potential that Vader does not.

So in theory before Disney bought Lucasfilm Fox may have planned a x-men star wars crossover where the Emperor was proven to be a mutant? And maybe Magneto was using the force?
