"And you are being very misleading about your OS X statement. The jump from IBM to Intel made a huge performance difference right out of the box. When OS X came around, coded specifically with Intel chips in mind, it was a little faster on Intel machines. Try running OS X on an older IBM CPU machine and it is quite the opposite."
Sorry, I have a ibook G4. Jaguar to Panther was faster, Panther to Tiger was faster, and Leopard is a bit slower (but not much). The same thin...
"and i could'nt agree with you more, this should now just be re-named to news4sonyfanboys.com. not only is it full of them. they've all got approbal rites to boot aswell."
Meh... if Sony released another Rootkit every article about it would be all over. See all the HD-DVD apologist articles.
It seems like it's all news4sony because that's what draws your attention. Sony fans will see the opposite. The only group I see that's under-represented on this site ...
Yeah, I was shocked by the same sort of thing every time we got a blu-ray/hd-dvd story that had nothing to do with the ps3 or 360 drive.
"It is completely ridiculous to think that a newer OS with more options and a bigger footprint is going to run faster than an OS that has less than half the minimum requirements and has been out for years."
Actually, most other OS's do this by default. Most OS X releases, for example, are quicker than the previous release on the same machine. Same thing with larger linux releases like Ubuntu. Sure, there are the occasional hiccups like with Leopard or Feisty, but, for t...
I promise PUPPIES!!!
Come an' get 'em! :p
"The problem doesn't lie with the gamer, it lies with non-gamers selfishness."
Sorry. You're saying that if someone starts playing a new game and suddenly stops talking with his wife, spends all hours on it... that it's her selfishness that breaks the marriage?
Hobbies are one thing, obsessions and addictions are another.
Sure there are people who want too much attention in a relationship, but there are also insensitive, selfish people that don...
...and they probably will.
Like it or not, a lot (notice I'm not saying all or even most) of the more hardcore gamers will have a hard transition from single life to marriage. It often seems like there's less and less time for everything.
I go to work early, come home at six. My wife has classes some nights, but even our off nights consist of come home, talk for a bit, eat dinner, and it's already 7:00-7:30. We can talk for hours and we find ourselves really strategi...
"Lol, Vista blows XP out of the water as a functional operating system. The biggest problem with Vista is people do not want to upgrade."
Hmmm... examples? Operating system functionality is pretty universal among non-beta/alpha operating systems. Win95 was functional. Basic file system actions and command interpretation/compiling is the largest part of what you need for a functional system. You don't even really need a gui to be functional.
Now, features......
"Would someone tell me how this happened? We were the ****ing vanguard of processors in this country. AMD was the processor to own. Then the other guy came out with a dual core processor. Were we scared? Hell, no. Because we hit back with a little thing called the Quad-core. That's four cores. But you know what happened next? Shut up, I'm telling you what happened—the bastards went to six cores. Now we're standing around, selling four core processors. Four or no, suddenly we're the chump...
these are always great questions.
Will Pluto be sucked up by a Black Hole tomorrow? Ever?
Stupid headlines.
Anyway, Apple does have one good advantage... iTunes. A relatively tech-phobic user (from their computer) only has to hear that there's a neat app or game, click itunes, click a link and they're looking directly at games/apps. Or just click App Store directly on their iPhone/Touch and there they are.
Google needs a central repository...
And that's not christianity's purpose, nor Buddism's, nor a most religions' purpose.
Exactly, agenda trumps all. So, religion is just an excuse, but do you really believe agenda would change just because there was a lack of religion?
So, there are predominantly christian nations who can boost the same thing.
Religion isn't the common element, human greed is. Your country's lack of religion doesn't correllate to it's peacefulness any more than religion co...
Hmmm... not sure what to think here.
Sorta Apples to Oranges?
First, price... 19500 South African, ($2400) or $600 more expensive.
1.2 C2D vs. 1.6 or 1.8, significantly slower.
Second, screen... 12" vs. 13.3" so smaller than the Air and not LED backlit. So inferior in that.
We have no idea how good the battery life is. So far the six cell this uses is vaporware.
Weight 7 ounces less than the Air, probably because of the smaller scre...
"All actions are consistent with the teachings of a religion as long as people keep interpreting it's writings how they want in order to justify their cause. I'm sure both G.W. Bush and whomever he's fighting(Iraq? Terrorists?) can justify their actions through interpreting their religion as they feel like."
Not really. They can be reinterpreted but past reasonable discussion they begin to stray outside of the realm of orthodox thought. Christianity has a reasonable set...
"-Switch to other OS (that play the same upgrade and leave the old OS to die one day game) "
Yeah, but when another OS upgrades it's either free (Linux) or significantly cheaper (OS X, five licenses for $200)
"I've had no problems using Vista with two different setups since it came out. Opteron 170 with X1950Pro and 4GB of ram ran great. My new setup a C2D @ 3.4GHZ with 2GB of ram and a 8800GT 512. "
That's cool, man, but most non-gamers have far inferior setups. 90% of non-gaming/non-enterprise users probably have less than a gig of ram. The majority probably have 512, same as your graphic card.
"While we XP user's sit back with less and less virus's"
ha... I wish. It'd make my job a lot easier. Unfortunately it hasn't worked that way for any previous MS OS. Too many holes, even now.
I'm hoping you were using the sarcasm tags there.
While christians have certainly gone over reasonable lines at times and don't mind using new media/trends to re-package basic christianity, using ANYTHING is a self-defeating concept.
For example, if I run an Alcoholics Anonymous group. We all decide that we'll do anything to get people off Alcohol. To do this, we get new members addicted to Heroin, and will only give them hits if they remain alcohol-free. This would ...
The question is really not "what have christians done?", it's "what actions are consistent with the teachings of christianity?"
Well... maybe. I run linux at home, so I certainly sympathize.
Most people will live with what they have on their computers now, and, if they get a new one, whatever comes with it. For business, we still have the MS Office and little business apps to deal with. Open Office isn't quite a solution yet for some.
People will continue to use whatever comes with their computers as long as they don't perceive it as 1) costing extra, or 2) impeding their functionality. Cost...
Nah... not an admin. Plus I enjoy brawling at times, so I'd have to behave a bit more if I was.
I agree though. There are definitely people who game the approval process, as well as the moderation system. Unfortunately that's pretty impossible to fix. Eventually that sort of thing either kills a site or makes it into the sort of place that no-one decent wants to visit....
