Yeah, really... wish I had some popcorn or something. Watching (or reading, perhaps) Octane argue with the mods is hilarious... he comes so close to being moderated, and yet doesn't quite go over the line.

And he's right, you know... there should be a separate "Miscellaneous" forum, or something like that, to hold all the threads about non-Mac or non-Apple stuff. Or just call it "Tech News, Rumors and Discussion." Or something.

Unfortunately for the Mods, Yes, he is right! :) And he is right even on the Windows case of: "win2k/xp is every bit as reliable as osx, as long as you dont make yourself vulnerable"

If that ain't the maximum twist of reality then what is? ::ha::

2K/XP every bit as reliable as OS X? Yeaaaaah... Sure... On a cold day in hell :rolleyes:

Day dreaming is bad for some peoples' computing health :eek:
 
First off, if you're going to have a pop at me, which you clearly did in your first post here, don't come over all surprised and hurt when I come back it you the same way.

octane, last i checked I, fryke, and captain code are moderators...

Not sure were you're going with that, but go on...

Im not of this forum, so my statement was merely an opinion based on your very very biased posts over last couple months. one could believe that youve never worked with a nt kernal based machine, and if you have, you didnt know how to work it. because quite honestly (this is coming from someone who owns 2 macs, and no pcs) win2k/xp is every bit as reliable as osx, as long as you dont make yourself vulnerable.

I've been using pc's longer than I've using macs. In over a decade of computer usage, pc'sc have proved themselves to be incredibly unreliable.

This isn't anything to with poor set-up, bad configuration or dodgy usage, they just don't work.

I've seen main-boards burst into flames in front of my eyes. I've smelt network cards frying, I've watched them restart of their own accord .. the list goes on and on.

so please do yourself a favor, calm down with the rhetoric, if you think windows sucks, thats fine, but no need to slam it down everyones throats time in, and time out, especially since it has nothing to do with "apple news and rumors"

I find an article, I post it. What happens with it after that is up to the other posters. Where was my 'rhetoric' in the starter post? It's a known flaw, so I made a tabloid-style headline out of it.

You have a choice; don't read this thread or if you feel it's not relevant, get a moderator to delete it.

It's pretty simple.

It seems that we've got quite a crowd of people intent on making an issue where there isn't one.

And just for the record, I am quite, quite calm. Upset / angry is a _long_ way off, yet...
 
i get the feeling that hulkaros' strapline might equally apply to you, octane...

i.e.. "Don't make me angry... You wouldn't like me when I'm angry"!!!

This is so much better than Coronation Street / Eastenders / Melrose Place / Friends!!

tee hee...

I like a little fun, a joke here and there and I'm really just one big pussy cat.

If you follow my posts, you'll see I'm fine if left alone to my own devices. But that's clearly not enough for some.

I seem to be picking up a theme; whether a moderator is right or wrong or if they come at you with some obtuse, terse and otherwise less than cordial tone, you're meant to move along.

I've had standing rows with police officers before now .. and walked away with my pride intact safe in the knowledge that I was right and they were wrong.

If I know I'm right, I simply will not back down. If I'm wrong, you get an apology, that kind of thing isn't below me, whatever people might think.

Now that does get me angry! I HATE soap operas :mad:

Smile, it's sunday! :p :D

Germanic is collective term, so yes you are .. and so are Sweden and Norway but sadly not Finland I'm afraid.

Strangely enough, so am I.

And just to nip this one in the bud, what I said is in no way a racist sleight. It's a turn of phrase like German efficiency, or British resolve...
 
My part of Switzerland is not German. It's Latin. Like France and Italy.
 
well actually sweden may have language similarities with Norway (but certainly not finland) .. of course swedish is influenced by German also.
but swiss and german is a diff thing. u DO speek german chevy dont u ?
well i dont speek norsk :) or finish either. or russian either :) ... that is what i meant !!!
 
and Windows is not FINE if u keep urself safe.
coming from an old pc-user.... there is NOTHING u can do about a blue screen or any random restart (it does happen often even with win2K)...
of course i did have some kernel panics with oS 10.1 and even fewer with 10.2.... none with 10.3..... (u get what i mean..)
 
OK, if this thread doesn't get kicked into touch, it's certainly going to end in the Café the way it's going.

As far as I'm concerned, I've said my piece. Unless anyone else wants this thread to drag on -- which it no doubt will -- or further antagonize me, I'm off!

Work, social life, that sort of stuff...
 
well it should have been placed in the Cafe when u first started it :)

it doesnt have to do with Apple news and rumors... its only a good idea to post it here because the forum is busy...
but the cafe is more appropriate :) especially for a guy like u who likes to have fun and joke around (which is not bad)
 
my region is speaking French, I've learned German (not SwissGerman which is another Germanic language, like Dutch) and English at school (and Italian later).
 
let's face it - most Mac lovers hate windows... (I'm not going to bother capitalising the "w")

If we can have an "Apple Rumours and Discussion", can't we have an "m$ rumours and discussion"?

I used PCs for 15 years - I tried 95/98/NT/2000/XP Pro - I spent more than $7,000 per computer having them custom built for me - but they all f***ed themselves up - from nothing more than day to usage...

Don't tell me windoze is the same as OS X!

Sometimes, experience counts!!! ;-)
 
It is such a nice sunny day out today. What a waste to spend it in this thread. Lets' get a bit fresh air, have a nice walk and breath deep...
