Macs
Time

I want to know what kind of Macs you own.

But I also found some really cool apps.

Disk Inventory X

A simple program that scans your disk and visually shows what files takes up how much space, good to visualize if you are running out of space and you have some size hogs.

LiquidMac

Once again using the motion sensor in a laptop. This program fills the screen with water which you can play around with by moving your computer.

MacSaber

Let your Mac become a jedi. Once again using the motion sensor makes cool lightsaber noises. Don’t let the mac fly out of your hands as it has with a couple of people.

NeoOffice

An Open Office port to Mac, like Microsoft Office, except its free.

Vidalia

A GUI controller for the Tor anonymity network. One click on, one click off, simple and easy to use. Best of all its free.

EvilMac

Turn your Mac evil. Not literally, of course. Not even close, actually. All this app does to turn my Mac evil is invert the colours. You could do the same thing by invoking Cmd-Opt-Ctrl-8. But watch your friends’ faces when you start this application. It’s even funnier when they accidentally start it themselves. They might even panic a bit!

Hide Folders

Have you ever wanted to hide certain files from view? Well, there’s the long method. And then there’s Hide Folders. Launch the app and simply drag anything you’d like to hide into it. And boom! The files are gone! It also allows you to add a password which needs to be entered before the files can be revealed.

After getting all these apps I need more ram.

and can anyone get me a link to Quicksilver? All the links seem to be dead.

Crossover for Mac
Time
lordjedi said:

Valve games are notoriously difficult to run through Wine (what Crossover essentially is).  The game may run, but it'll likely be pretty unstable.  Not only that, but none of the Steam features will work (Steam friends, community stuff, etc).

If you have Vista installed, you're much better off just booting into that when you want to play games.

So why on earth did you get a Mac if you wanted to play Portal and HL2:EP2?  You'd save a ton of money by just building a PC with good quality parts and installing Vista on it.

 

He said he doesn't play many games. Why would you get a computer just to play 2 games?

 

Also, what kind of Mac was this?

GA26, you're retarded.  It really is that simple.  I take offense to your implication that people who say they can drink responsibly might one day not drink responsibly.

How is it foolish to know ones limits?  Seriously, answer that question.  If I know that as long as I'm not sick, I can drink 1 or 2 beers per hour (that's not very much either) and be totally fine, what's the problem with that?  What, am I going to lose count of how many I've had while the empty's are stacked on the counter?  Am I not going to notice that I'm getting a little drunk if I have 3 or more in one hour or even over 2 hours?  Do I not have the capability to stop?  To simply say "No thanks" when the waitress comes by to ask if I'd like another?  Or to just not grab another one out of the fridge at home?  Even when I was getting plastered on the weekends, which was over 10 years ago mind you, I knew I was getting plastered and wasn't stupid enough to go anywhere (yes, we always put the car keys away and never went out for more liquor).  If/when I have a bad cold, I simply don't drink.  And yes, it really is that easy to decide "hey, I can't drink tonight because I have a bad cold and I don't want to make it worse".

Maybe in your world people can't think for themselves.  Maybe in your world people have such low self-esteem that any kind of offer or "pressure" makes them cave.  In my world, people don't have to drink if they don't want to.  And if they do want to, they can be stopped from going overboard (yes, I have taken keys away from people before) or they know when they've had enough.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Your totally right "it can never happen to me" nothing could ever go wrong. Everyone knows their limits and those who do have never had something slipped into their drink. Seriously nothing can ever go wrong when your drinking and responsible. Its not documented at all that motor skills decrease even with a couple drinks, and since thats not true someone could never misjudge something simple like a step and fall down stairs. Heck every convicted murderer need only state they are now a different person and they will never do anything criminal again and as long as they make a statement like that we should with blind devotion believe it. I mean living in a world based in reality how could anything go wrong. Everything is always totally and 100% controllable in life, there are never any exceptions to the rule. Outside factors are never important, and everyone always always makes the right choice in every situation. Murphy's Law is a total fabrication and everything always goes according to plan. And it would be completely unreasonable to not believe any of that :p

 

The people in this world are too miserable and sad to not drink. Give them some slack.

Will the The New J.J. Abrams Star Trek destroy the Legacy of the original 1960's series? Discussion
Time

Has a remake ever destroyed the legacy of the original? I don't think so. No matter what special edition or sequel Lucas makes the original Star Wars will remain Star Wars. It really doesn't make a difference because it is not like there is anything we have lose anyway. If you don't like it don't see it. It is that simple. You can even make up your own continuity.

Good to know you have better fashion sense than to wear gold crocs (or whatever the hell those retarded plastic "shoes" are called.

Congratulations on the dog. You still sticking with the name Yotsuba? It's not a bad name, very unique.

 

The name is from this manga which if you never noticed was a favorite of mine due to it's liteness and sillyness.

Time

That wasn't me or my house. I have yet to get her yet. I have to wait a week because she has to stop nursing. She is still nursing because she was the only surving one of her litter and I guess her mom is still attached to it. The lady had 6 dogs and a cat and everyone is really happy around there and I got to see how a mother and a pup bond. After that we went to PetSmart.

Also possibly her father.
