Death Threats? Emails telling the guy hes going to go to hell for what he did? Yeesh. And to think I, as a long time PC supporter, was starting to warm up to the Mac Community and the possiblity of one day owning one myself.

I especially like the quote at the bottom from the parent who said that if their kid did something like that, they'd kill them.

The advantage is is that you can 'borrow' movies for long amounts of time without him remembering that you borrowed them.

The disadvantage is the pizza cheese grime on the DVDs

No. Actually it was a Mac. That.. was the whole point.

The point was that Mac users are fanatical. We killed tons of Iraqi soldiers because their dictator was fanatical and crazy. I think we should've focused on the Mac corporate offices. Let's take Steve Jobs down.

I'm using a mac right now (I'm in a computer class at uni) and I can't really see why people like macs so much. Sure,Mac OS X is stable and doesn't crash, but come on, it doesn't even have a floppy drive,(for the sake of backwards compatibility) much less a second mouse button. Furthermore, this is an old G3, so the strain of running OS X is pushing it to its limits, thus making it slow as hell.

To make matters worse, the staff refused to install the mac version of firebird, so I have to use some sort of crappy "safari" browser, which is kind of like firebird but is definitely inferior.

------------------
Most people regard me as the dark and immoral side of Massassi. At least I'm getting what I want out of life.

I don't have a floppy drive... Well actually I do, it just hasn't worked in 2 years and i've never actually needed to try and fix it.

Yeah, Safari uses the KHTML redering engine, which, unfortunatly, has some trouble rendering frames. . . . But I hear they fixed that in the latest dev...

The future is here, and all bets are off.

Hm i don't know if i'm just dumb but what exactly did he do... "gutting a PC", just putting PC components into a MAC?


------------------


Sweet irony...

He pretended to take apart a G5, gut it, and put a PC inside it. But it was all a hoax, he didnt actually gut a G5, he got his hands on a spare G5 case.

The sad thing is, you would probably get similar flaming emails from GBK if you announced that you were uninstalling Linux in favor of Windows.

hehe... reminded me of the part in American Wedding where Stiffler says something to the effect of hating not hating Finch. To which he responds, "Well, I did **** your mother. Twice."

I've done that 3 times. First was Red Hat, then Libranet then finally Debian. Now i'm back to good old WinXP. *hugs Windows*

Thats probably why i didn't get it.... the extreme emails and complaints there were confused me...

I had to laugh at that.
