[QUOTE=.ediT;26209337]Am I talking to a wall? I just gave you an example of something that they make that is "new and revolutionary" that no one else has made cheaper or more effectively. That directly contradicts what you said. [/QUOTE]
Behold the iPad, totally new and revolutionary. Except stuff like that already existed, and had even superior hardware.
Behold the Magic Mouse, totally new and revolutionary. Except Logitech made the exact same thing a couple years before.
Behold the new and revolutionary function in the new OS that lets you install apps on your computer directly from a store. Except Windows and Linux have shit like this since the 90's
[QUOTE]The point is that you bash apple because everyone else does and it's the "cool" thing to do but you have no actual argument against them or their advertising. In fact, MS is just as bad if not worse with their ads but I don't see you going after them do I?[/QUOTE]
I bash Apple because I think their products, while undoubtably neat, cool looking and simple to use, are DEFINITELY not worth those prices. I bash their ads because I find them extremely annoying, and I never denied that Microsoft has pulled a lot of dick moves. Especially the "Linux is gun die hurr durr" thing and their Polish branch removing a black guy. That was seriously retarded.
MacTrekkie stop rating dumb, we all know your standpoint in this discussion.

[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;26209418]I hate all operating systems equally, but with Linux I don't have a company to hate[/QUOTE]
I hate none of them equally. because it's just a plain sad way to spend ones time.
"OMG CNT FEWL SCREAN!!!! WHYZ TEH "MAXIMIZE" BUTTEWN IN DEH WRON PLAEZ!!! OGMOGMOMG SHIIIIT OWEZZ!?!?!?!?!??!?!?"
that shit's sad. Even sadder is "hating" the user whom you have no contact with anyway.

So, disagreeing with your opinions about apple counts as dumb to you? How mature. It's not like we don't have a "disagree" rating or whatever...

Disagreeing with me is fine. It's the way you go about it that annoys me.
I said that they are actually pretty neat, but I don't think they are worth that price. Then I said I find their ads annoying.
And boom you rated me dumb. If I annoyed you with THIS, then I say you have some issues...

No but seriously, Dumb =/= Disagree.

Yes I have issues. I have many issues. If I started writing a book about the issues I have, I would not be done with it by the time I die. What's your point?

That you should keep your issues off FP,
just look at what happened to fatfatfatty.
MacTrekkie, you're outnumbered. As a macfag, I order you to stop posting stupid shit because look what happened to mr fatty.
Also yeah, post content and flame on

I don't know why I covered up the names, it's not like it's hard to go on my steam profile linked from every one of my posts.

Wow, I must have changed in the past six months.
I am officially declaring a change of subject. We are now discussing "why do shitty musicians think that doing a downsample (aka bitcrush) on a vocal track to sound more robotic makes their music sound better?"
Seriously. This befuddles me. Maybe using it once, on a single line, in a song where a mechanical/robotic sound would make sense, might make sense, but I've heard it used for entire songs, which weren't even about robots or anything, even metaphorically. And it's not just the robotic sound you get from autotune - I've heard it in rap songs, where there IS no tune. Seriously, pop music. What the fuck?

I have spent many hours trying to figure that and other stupid music related questions out. I honestly think they do it simply because 'everyone else is doing it.'

Indeed. Hint: I'm the one on the bottom left.
[QUOTE=gman003-main;26206436]Since we seem to be on a Mac-hating spree, I bring marginal content:
First day of my Web Design class. They stick us in a lab with some pretty good computers: iMacs, 27" screens, Core 2 Duo processor, 4 gigs of RAM and a Radeon 2600. They might not be optimal for top-edge gaming, but they're definitely overkill for a class built around notepad and IE.
We were there for about 45 minutes, working on stuff, when the power to the room suddenly just cut off. Not just "flickered enough to shut everything down", actual zero power. Well, you know how when you build a computer, you have to make sure the PSU can give it enough power? You also need to do that when setting up a computer lab. The room actually can't supply enough power to run every computer in there. We have since been told to turn the screen brightness down to minimum, which is still sufficient given the lighting, but I just find this an example of "fail".[/QUOTE]
Way to be electricity illiterate, the breaker just turned off because there was too much current passing through it, the wires and breaker probably aren't rated for that high of current. Nothing to do with NOT ENUF POWR.

But it makes no sense! I mean, it makes sense occasionally, when you're deliberately trying to make a particular lyric sound more unnatural (it's used in some live performances of "Master of Puppets" for the descending "Master! Master! MAASSTTEERR!" right before the second (or is it third?) instrumental section), but when you do it, there needs to be an artistic reason.
Maybe some artists use it to try to cover up the auto-tune? I guess if you can't even understand what they're singing, you don't care that they can't sing. Which is still stupid.

Uh, what? I would count "not checking to make sure you can supply enough power for these computers" as a pretty major fail in pre-purchase research.
