[Ghryphen]

poor poor hamma

[Hamma]

Although I must admit the swing arm on the LCD is kinda cool.

Thats about it :lol:

[Giovanni]

poor poor hamma


He can't be that poor if he has a brand new mac :lol:.

[Ghryphen]

at least before he got it you mean

[Hamma]

Hey it isn't mine, I would nevar do such a thing.

It's school property, I am in the process of locking all the macs down so the kids cant load their fancy torrents and crap anymore.

They are gonna hate me when school starts again.

No choice really it's your job. Atleast you'll be doing a better job then the techs at my old school, I barely had any technical knowledge back then and I could bypass they're locks....

Then again those guys were sitting around all day playing doom 2 and the such.

[MattxMosh]

the tech at my high school hated macs too.

oh wait, its the same person.

[Disconnecting]

MAC: Most Awesome Computer. I think its about that time to start a new thread.

[Hamma]

Somehow I had a feeling you would show up.

the tech at my high school hated macs too.

oh wait, its the same person.

:rofl: Indeed

OS X is much better than the crap I used to deal with there, I can actually integrate the macs with the windows active directory servers :brow:

[Setari]

I wouldn't be against getting a macbook pro, but first I need to win the lottery. :rolleyes:

Gweneth Paltro (sp?) Named her Kid Apple, later I found out it was beacuase she was a fan of Apple Computers. Only one problem: The kid wont be compatible with any of the other kids at school. HAH!

Then send her to Boot Camp! (http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/)


Oh ye biased people who no so little.

I can't wait until my Macbook Pro gets here.

[LimpBIT]

down with macs. My school uses PCs, but they suck. i think they said something about getting new ones

[Mag-Mower]

Why would I want to run windows on a mac? Why would I want a mac? How would owning a Mac with windows on it benefit me?

[Disconnecting]

This will allow maximum pc to finally do apples to apples test. Macs vs PC tests. So in my case I can compare how my mac professionally benched at 60 fps for tetris will wtf pwnt your gaming machines.

[Infernus]

HEY! EVERYONE! LETS BE ARGUMENTATIVE FOR THE SAKE OF IT!


Seriously though, I don't really know whats too hard to accept about this.


Transitive Property:

The Macbook Pro is actually a good machine.

The Macbook Pro is a machine that can run windows.

Therefore, the Macbook Pro is actually a good machine that can run windows.

Lets-not-be-dumbfuck property:

People hear the name "mac" and suddenly get all up in arms without ever looking in to anything.

People; therefore, are dumbfucks.

[Hamma]

I have always liked the looks of some of apple's laptops. Except for the iBook :ugh:

Zing!

[Setari]

The iBook isn't usually brought up in mac circles...now, let's all be assholes about our favorite operating system! Hurrah!

[Mag-Mower]

I have no favorite OS. Linux cant run the games I want, Windows keeps crashing, and OS X just isn't my style...

[Setari]

Then stop talking.

[Infernus]

So you effectively contributed nothing to this thread.

Good going, you wasted bandwidth.

[Kam]

My first computer was a mac, back when they still had games. (I played Warcraft II and Marathon on that thing.) If it weren't for the lack of games I might still be on a mac, but frankly windows is fine and Vista looks pretty good.

[Baneblade]

And here I was going to say:

DELL

+10 cool points for me?

You gotta be shitting me. Vista is teh biggest crap Microshit will have ever made. The best OS that company from Gates made was Windows 2000 Pro, which I have running. Runs all games that run on XP and doesn't eat up as much resources, yet still is stable.

[Setari]

So what makes Vista worse than every other OS they've ever made, in your opinion?

[MrVicchio]

I got stuck in the boonies for 6 months at my aunt and uncles ranch, no internet sans a mac laptop with dial up.

A one button mouse.

I am NOT going to learn the secret mac button combo's to cut and paste, or anything else. I hated that thing. Yes I know there are NOW two button mice..

And I haven't had XP crash on me but a few times, in the three years or so I have been running it.

I know that VISTA is going to address a lot of the resource issues that Windows has, and that it will be more stable then XP.
I can't wait.

[Infernus]

Was it an iBook?

If it was an iBook, I do feel sorry for you.



Also, you should experience the glory of the mighty mouse.

[TX3RN0BILL]

So what makes Vista worse than every other OS they've ever made, in your opinion?

Have you even taken a look at the Vista's minimum system requirements? Especially the Vista Premium edition's system requirements make me shudder... That's just for the operating system, ffs!!!

I marvel at the Windows 2000 Pro how it can handle the software made for WinXP with a fraction of it's system requirements, let alone Vista... meaning all your power goes to handle the software running on the operating system, not to handle the operating system working beneath any software you're dealing with most of the times...

Alas, setting the record straight: DOS was one of the best operating systems out there, and it wasn't even made by MS originally (Sierra...). After that... well, I wonder how they can always screw up a half-decent operating system... Example: Windows 98 Second Edition was good and Millenium I think holds the title of worst OS Microsoft ever made... And many people kept buying Windows 2000 Pro even after Windows XP came out, so... oh well... Maybe I should get myself a Mac laptop! :lol:

[Setari]

DirectX 9 framework
Windows Display Driver Model
32 bits per pixel depth with 64MB of graphics RAM
2.4GHz processor
512MB RAM
Graphics card capable of handling Windows Presentation Foundation

It's not really that excessive. For a new generation operating system, I think those give a reasonable bottom line for PC vendors. Obviously it will take 1 GB of RAM to run things completely smooth, but unless you, for some reason, can't afford what is now a fairly cheap upgrade, there are probably more pressing problems than a new computer.

[Infernus]

I'm probably gonna get Vista Home Premium or whatever it is when it comes out.

The requirements to be called a Premium Ready system aren't really as bad as you're making them out to be.

[MattxMosh]

Ive been playing with the vista beta. It seems alright, though lacking a lot of the features.

[Giovanni]

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but that's why they call it beta isn't it?

[Setari]

Yes but, and I don't really have any evidence, IIRC there were some pretty important features missing from Beta 2, as in ones that were supposed to be main features.

[MattxMosh]

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but that's why they call it beta isn't it?

Actually the point of betas is to test features, isnt it?

[Giovanni]

Actually most programs are usually incomplete while they are still in the beta phase, no?

[MattxMosh]

Actually most programs are usually incomplete while they are still in the beta phase, no?

Wow captaion obvious. Try the vista beta...everything they were talking about.. essentially nonexistant still.

Its xp with a theme, still, and annoying security pop ups. every 2 seconds.

Its damn pretty though.

[Giovanni]

So... it's like the Fable of OS's uh?

Lot's of promises, not alot of delivery and a whole lot of eye candy?

[Setari]

Unlike Fable, they have time, and they don't have Peter Molyneux.

[Hamma]

I havent tried it out yet - I should install it on a machine here at work and mess around with it a bit.

[Infernus]

They don't have Peter Molyneux.

Which is saying a lot.
