lol pc.

[murda-c]

No but it is something you know you'll probably be wanting to upgrade relatively soon.

but you can build an awesome pc for hella cheap.

[punxva]

i love my 17in macbook pro, welcome to the awesome side

[shishcabobers]

I honestly despise laptops, the reason being once I buy one a month later my laptop is obsolete and the fact you can't really upgrade them.

[worangejuice]

Why you gotta start shit???


this shit is hott

[punxva]

wow throw back, mad props lol

[lflkajfj12123]

Do fish get thirsty? Take the dumb test now

[cc4usmc]

Ok, will someone explain in terms a 12 year old could understand what Linux is?

[lflkajfj12123]

linux is a name for the open-source version of the UNIX operating system

mac osx is unix based, windows is not

there are many free distributions of linux released by groups who design them with the open source code

open source allows for free; operating systems, development, customization

which the linux groups have strong community and are enthusiastic about further developing their os to share

a few examples of linux is ubuntu, archlinux, redhat

I've often been curious about a linux ran computer

[cc4usmc]

Ok.. I got that.. well.. a little bit of it. Thanks lol

[s13_ricky]

Guilty. Mac User.

[SochBAT]

The best aspect of linux is it doesn't fuck up unless YOU fuck it up.

If you don't mess with coding, you're cool

[PBucch]

linux! in yo mouf assholes

its fun, its free, it does everything every other pc+mac can, and all you have to do is goto www.google.com and type exactly what you want to find out and someone has already made a forum post about it!

Stereotype much?

[Pank]

few things.
theres really no such thing as a "mac" or "pc" anymore. They run the same hardware. THE EXACT FUCKING SAME.

Anyone who is bitching about Vista being unstable either:
1. hasn't updated their video drivers (over 70% of vista crashes were due to nvidias shitty forceware drivers. nothing to do with the OS)
2. hasnt used it.

This machine has been on for at least 3 weeks. I've played games, watched movies, torrented hella stuff. no problem.

macs are overpriced. this is easy to see now, when you can have a dell, or lenovo laptop with the exact same specs (down to part numbers) for literally half as much.

The OS is ok, but its not hard when you only have to support about 90 different software packages, as opposed to the sheer amount of applications available for the Windows PC market.

also, most mac users i've met are elitist for no reason what so ever. its like they're proud they overpaid for an underperforming peice of pretty aluminum and glass.

funny thing is i used vista since they released it in beta

i never had any problems besides with an old gamepad driver that was the only thing that i ever had a problem after using it for like 3 years i think now?

i did not switch because vista is so "shitty" i'm actually vm'ing vista on the macbook

oh yeah

also for those dickheads trying to mess with your pc lmao

i never ran any antivirus or firewalls after windows xp

there is no need and if you get a virus you're probably just an idiot

and yes i'd rather have a macbook for the looks than a lenova

seriously this notebook looks and feels amazing and it is built exactly how it appears

[Future240]

^^I call bs on that last one, vista for me devlops weird ass problems. for instance my network and sharing center doesnt exist anymore. It just says server execution failed, network status unknown. The network and sharing center freezes up everytiime it gets opened.

My tabs on IE7 get sometimes just say connecting and never open. Sometimes the window doesnt close, and you have to use task manager to close it.

My gf's laptop and her sisters closing one windown in IE7 will partially close all of them. (as in they all start to close, then freeze up and get stuck)

I have updated all the drivers on my desktop and gf's laptop.

[Pank]

I've used Vista at work constantly, as well as my machines at home, and i've never run into that problem. do you have any ACTUAL security software running? These machines aren't macs, you have to actively protect them from dickheads. Thats the price you pay for functionality.

[Future240]

^My gf's comp has the one the school provides. I have Norton 360, so does her sister. My roommate has an older model laptop, running xp and the same security the school provides and he has never had any of these problems.

All our our comps cept gf's sister is made by Acer. Her's is an HP, less than 4 months old

and btw while I was typin my first response as soon as I hit reply, my screen went black and I had to hard restart the comp. Its fine now. It happens sometimes

Why is it that Windows users are always on the defense?

That is so true. The only people I really see making a point and getting
all worked up, are PC owners.

I do not have a Mac, btw.

[Pank]

it had better feel great, for the price.
i've got nothing against either machine. PC's are prone to instability due to the insanely massive range of hardware and applications that windows has to support. Macs have a limited amount of hardware options that they need to support. nothing bad about it, its just how it is.

the fact remains that PC's control the VAST majority of the desktop market, and support more hardware (although that gap is rapidly shrinking, since there arent powerpc macs anymore).

that being said, i work on both of them all day long, so i pretty much hate ALL computers, since all they do is annoy the fuck out of me. (well....the users do more than the computers)

unless you connect to an access point thats not yours. or someone connects to yours. or you view a jpg. or a mpg. you can embed bad code in almost fucking anything.

[lflkajfj12123]

another thing that i only have problems with pre xp

[S14DB]

So other than the Bloatware Purdy interface. What is so great about Vista over XP? How is it an improvement?

[SochBAT]

Vista = Resources down the drainnnn!

XP = a lot more fluid without the funk and weight.

Macs are nice as shit, but not 3K nice. For that price, i'd expect at LEAST a ZJ.

from what I read, nothing. Just a few new mac-borrowed functions, and it looks pretty.

vista may be slow and buggy, but these are minor quirks compared to the price diff. If i had a mac, it would prolly be near 4.5K. Since it has a 2.2 quad core processor, with 3 gbs of ram installed and 500gb HD. thats an s14 and an rb25
