:golfclap:[QUOTE=Kasai;20569351]You do realize that it's probably comments like these that most likely make them dislike it. Firstly, the fact that you say it's "obviously more useful" is not only a total ultimatum but at the same time debatable depending on what you want to do. Secondly, what are you doing other than putting them down for using an equally/more useful operating system? I say equally/more useful because, as I stated earlier, it's not only dependent on the situation. I'd bet that the stuff they're using their computers for, probably gaming, simple internet, regular non-techie stuff, will get them more use from windows than linux. For example, I'd never use linux because the main thing I use my computer for is gaming and in that category, linux is definitely not as useful as windows. Mainly what I'm trying to say (and all that mac bashing falls into this category as well) is that not only does saying that one OS is "obviously better" make you look like a class A jackass, but it also simply isn't true. In addition, it causes both groups to develop more fanboys, which I can safely say we all equally despise.[/QUOTE] :golfclap::eng101: all in all, a perfect post.

Oh god haha. This just happened 2 minutes ago. My sister is uploading a video to Youtube. Which makes my ping on any server go up to about 700. I go to see her and say "Can't you do that over-night? You're using up MAH INTERWEBZ [sp]jokez[/sp]" She replies "Calm down, just use a different browser or somethin'". I laughed my ass off until I couldn't breath

Last night before I got off the computer, I was reading my email, which had a message informing me of a password change to one of my accounts (not saying what the account was for), and my sister walked over, and she could see the screen (where it said what the password was) before I noticed it and minimized the window. I was like "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!? THIS IS PRIVATE STUFF!" and she replied with "But only the person the Email belongs to can see that stuff." The impression she made of how stupid she thought I was made me rage so hard... I got my dad to yell at her for indirectly calling me a moron. (he [b]NEVER[/b] does that)

[quote=Mom]Stop downloading that stuff! It's giving our computers viruses![/quote] She's referring to me downloading singleplayer cheats for Overlord II. (nothing illegal about using cheats in SP :D) And she's referring to both the computer that solely belongs to me, as well as the computer that only I used to use, now only my dad uses it. I swear, she thinks [b]everything[/b] that is at all downloadable is a virus. It's driving me nuts. :saddowns:
My teacher once said that vectors are round pixels, and as I tried to argument with him, he threatened me with detention.
[QUOTE=Croix;20631925]My teacher once said that vectors are round pixels, and as I tried to argument with him, he threatened me with detention.[/QUOTE] Tell him to research with more than google before telling someone they're wrong. If he gets mad at you, shoot him. With a bee gun. And then feed the body to mutant bunnies.

Prepare for Mac fanboys shitstorm in few months. Steam is coming to Mac OS.
[QUOTE=Ezhik;20632474]Prepare for Mac fanboys shitstorm in few months. Steam is coming to Mac OS.[/QUOTE] :suicide: [editline]1:11[/editline] I'm... KIND of curious how that's going to be carried out with system requirements and all that... maybe giving them their own version of the steam store... but then, what would be in it at the start? :raise:
[QUOTE=Ezhik;20632474]Prepare for Mac fanboys shitstorm in few months. Steam is coming to Mac OS.[/QUOTE] No... NO. HOW COULD VALVE DO THIS. :bang:
Portal 2 is being ported to Mac.
"Linux is Mac OSX and Windows put together" I spent ten minutes correcting this statement to the person who made it.
[QUOTE=Ezhik;20632474]Prepare for Mac fanboys shitstorm in few months. Steam is coming to Mac OS.[/QUOTE] May the gods save us all....
The thing that pisses me off the most is that they're porting their shit to OSX but NOT LINUX!!!! AHHHHHHHH FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
PEOPLE, We dont give a shit about Mac windows ect MOAR CONTENT
[QUOTE=Boris-B;20633793]The thing that pisses me off the most is that they're porting their shit to OSX but NOT LINUX!!!! AHHHHHHHH FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU-[/QUOTE] Valve is overdue for a Linux version of Steam and at least the most popular games. I hate how the Mac gets it but not Linux users. I'm currently waiting on a new HD for my computer, on which I will put Ubuntu and on only Ubuntu on it. The <10% that uses Linux systems should get their own Steam version as well. /rant But this whole conversation is offtopic.
