Mission failed.
You failed to take into account some mission parameters, I think.
1) avansc owns a mac
2) avansc calls people names
3) most people don't bother ignoring the sentences where avansc calls people names
I realized the moment I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned.

I think we have just found the inverse of "what you don't know can't hurt you".

I guess I'm a little late.

One thing I learned about avansc since I came one here: if your opinion isn't the exact same as his, he will start non-stop cyberbullying you. Seriously, wasn't hurstshifter's post something along the lines of "I don't like it." He didn't say
OMGZZZ U GUYZ APPL FUKKIN SUX. LINUX IZ SO MUCK BETTAH!

I honestly CANNOT take sides on this subject, I PERSONALLY love Debian and Ubuntu over any other OS... AND they're free, no 30$ (Mac), or even more than that (Windows).
I can't take sides because, I was not experienced with Mac or familiar with it at all until 6th grade when that was our class computer OS. So I had already loved Windows. However, now, I have come to the conclusion that the more you do your self (In my opinion) the better (Linux/Unix). Their are many reasons why I like Windows, and multiple other reasons why I like Mac whether they are similar reasons or not. I have found that I prefer some of Mac's applications that are 'built into' the operating system a lot more than many of Window's. Although I have found that I prefer Bash terminal over desktops in general anyways so I cannot say which interface I prefer. Windows (aside from Vista) has a clean and relatively easy to navigate interface. Where as Mac has a less colorful, more chrome, and yet (again my opinion,) semi-more attractive interface but harder for ME to navigate, because I am not used to Mac. I'm not saying that it is all that much different from Windows but it is a bit so.

PS: I run on XP, Debian, Ubuntu on this PC. I run on Leopard and Ubuntu on my other.

*EDIT: You have to learn to deal with Avansc's comments whether they start out nice or not. It's smarter to smile and nod in any case.*

I prefer to call people names in front of their backs, they tend to hear easier when they're facing you.

As was that comment, but be more constructive with your feedback jerk-off.
haha no im just kidding!!! But seriously why even bother with Windows and Mac if you know how to use Ubuntu. (In my own personal opinion)

The fact remains that a similarly priced Windows/Linux based PC/Laptop will drastically outperform a Macbook Pro. True, they may not be quite as shiny, but that is something that I'm willing to sacrifice however hard it may be.


Oh, and I don't need to hold 6 + 4 when booting up to run in 64-bit mode, it's pretty cool :)
I dont really care about this argument but, WTF? Charging 230 dollars for windows vista HOME PREMIUM, not even the fully shit version is raping the consumer hard dont you think?
