Well it deny's all my windows CE applications saying they aren't windows CE, and the framerate is so fucking skippy that you can't really watch movies on it. I don't use it at all.
Just a minute ago, as I was walking over here to play WoW, I saw my dad's computer was downloading an update for Norton... I have no idea why he still uses it... (cause it was total shit back when it was on the only computer in the house, along with McFee before it)
Norton still IS shit. As is McAfee.
I use Common Sense 2010.
I heard on the radio that Macs are 100% recyclable, any truth to that?
[QUOTE=Chris122990;20838961]Norton still IS shit. As is McAfee.[/QUOTE] I have McAfee, and it has never failed me yet. That and I use common sense.

[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;20852427]I heard on the radio that Macs are 100% recyclable, any truth to that?[/QUOTE] I'm glad they tell you just how to throw away the product. :raise: what about PCs? Anyone know if they're "recyclable"?
Yes. They're also recyclable.
So I am texting my friend and my friend is having trouble putting a file on a CD. I ask to have the file so that I can look at it and see why it won't write to the CD. I get this "Well if we could send the file we would just email it. The reason I have to use the CD is because my mom said that sending it would crash the computer. I don't know if I should risk it." WHERE DO THEY COME UP WITH THIS?! [editline]02:14PM[/editline] The file is ~10 minutes of audio.
I don't like the cases with all the plastic spanglies on, especially not the ones which are just cheap 5mm thick sheets bent into shape that feel really cheap and you have to open up to get at the DVD drive or USB ports. My case's just a black box, and it's fine how it is. [editline]06:25PM[/editline] also a guy I know kept asking what "giggaram" my computer was. I was like :what:.

[quote]PC user: Wow, look at this great Alienware machine I can get. I can get it custom built with the AMD Athlon FX-60, and Quad Nvidia 7900 video cards!! I can get it with 4GB of ram, 2 23” moniters, and 2 1TB internal hard drives all for only $3999!!! If you wanted to get a mac that powerful it would cost at LEAST $10,000!. Mac user: (Shaking his head in disbelief at how stupid someone can be). Alright, let’s put this to the test. I’ll buy a Quad G5 with 4GB of ram, the Quadro FX 4500 video card, 2 23” moniters, and 2 500GB internal hard drives. It’ll cost me about $9200. PC user: Why would you want to do that when you can get a computer more powerfull for less than half the price? Mac user: Because it’s that much better, and it runs the worlds most advanced operating system. [/quote] Makes me rage everytime.

The thing that I find funniest is when people say that Windows 7 is good, just because of the visual effects and window snapping. I heard someone complaining because my friend was using alt+tab instead of windows+tab, and had it set back to classic theme. Like who the fuck cares if he doesn't want the transparent taskbar, it's the same damn thing. Or when people say that open-source software inherently rivals proprietary software. Someone tried to tell me that Audacity rivaled professional recording tech like Ableton Live or Pro Tools. Don't get me wrong, there is plenty of open-source software that rivals or even exceeds proprietary software. IE and Safari are terrible compared to Opera and Firefox, and Linux has legit applications. But still, this doesn't mean that this is always the case.
Windows 7 is good because it's not as bad as Vista and it has DX10-11 Support....well and some other minor things :P
"You need Direct X 10 support for almost all recent games" is another one that makes me LOL.
When I get older, I am going to set up a Mac Party and bring every mac fanboy I know to it. For the main event at the party. I will show them the power of a PC. I shall show them that the Mac is pure shit and is no better.
