8/22    For all you Mac fans, a description of Apple's current offerings (from
        http://www.aftermath-technologies.blogspot.com
                "As for the macrophilliacs out there. I am so sorry you
                 spent a stupid amount of money for a crippled *nix box
                 in a shiny package. But face it, you are running an
                 expensive,poserific,drm loving piece of enviromentally
                 damaging,disposable, x86 crap."
        \_ Nobody ever asked you to buy a Mac. It's interesting that
           anti-Mac people are far more vocal than Mac fans are.
           \_ no they're not
              \_ And in this one thread, you have an anti-Mac and
                 anti-Mac-user blog posted on the motd and anti-Mac
                 people aren't more vocal? Mac people aren't trying
                 to pick fights with you. The anti-Mac people, on
                 the other hand, are.
        \_ If crippling *nix is what allows average person to use it,
           that's not a problem, x86-ness irrelevant to users, and I
           don't know about DRM-loving.  BUT, I do agree that Apple
           products are environmentally damaging to some degree.
           \_ All computers are environmentally damaging.  If you want to
              save the environment, bring your computer, ipod, stereo, home
              theatre, vehicle (yes your prius too), and the rest of your
              western techo frills to an environmentally sound waste disposal
              site and be done with it.
              \_ That would be stupid.  Most of those devices are undamaging
                 in regular usage.  The vast majority of the damage cause in
                 production.  So if you want to save the environment stop
                 buying new toys, keep the ones you have and treat them well
                 so they last a long time.  Don't throw what you have away,
                 that's just adding more toxic crap to landfills.
        \_ Uh huh. -dans
        \_ I dislike Macs as much as anyone, but this guy's blog is really
           stupid.
           \- what is there to dislike about macs except for the price?
              [and the still crappy power connectors, but that boils down
              to price too]
              \_ the users
                 \_ Spoken like a true BOFH zealot.  Have fun storming the
                    castle. -dans
                    \_ "storming the castle?" I *am* the motherfucking castle.
