I doubt that this is an issue of shoddy American Workmanship either. After all MACs are also made in the USA and they work just fine. So is other hardware.
Are you kidding me? ⒶppŁe is even more totalitarian over your computer experience than MiKKKroSSoft! As an example: Try to dd if=<the Mac's hard drive> of=<your PC's hard drive> and see what happens. Your computer will end up unbootable -- just like AppŁe wants.
The more I hear of those stories the more I am starting to think that they are just urban legends. They never really happened but were made up just for entertainment purposes. It is really hard to believe that an adult person can be that dumb.

has many stories where you think that people really can't be that dumb but apparently indeed are.
of course take it with a grain of salt, since you can't validate the stories as real or not.
Still, some very good laughs there

So Microsoft's now a mix between a bunch of christian racists and a German armed forces division of WWII?
And then you go whine and run and make a big fuss when someone calls you something?

Totally agree with that, who deals out blows has to take stick. (Wow, is that translated right?)

your right the next thing you know we will spend 7 years in other countries looking for a bad guy.
Microsoft is a dinosaur it is a media marketing tool that is maintained by admin people that absolutely use linux to fix it.

The KKK are NOT real Christians. They CLAIM to be, and they are OBVIOUSLY wrong because the Bible does NOT condone that kind of OUTRAGEOUS behavior. In fact, the Bible LOOKS DOWN UPON such behavior. To say that the KKK are real Christians is completely OFFENSIVE and RUDE.
Their stance with white supremacy is OBVIOUSLY hypocritical, and they are simply using CHRISTIANITY as a vehicle to drive an INSANE agenda.

Totally agree with you my friend!! But there are also a lot of other groups out there that are "banning" things because its not in the bible. Gay marriage, abortion, violent video games, teaching evolution in schools etc. However, WE DON'T FULLY KNOW WHAT'S IN THE BIBLE!!! Books were taken out of the bible WAYYY back when when Constantine was emperor of the Roman Empire. Our modern day bible is the same one that he distributed to his people. So many books were destroyed and never read by us. We also have books like the Book of Thomas which is blasphemy to read in the Christian religion. Honestly, the religions are just as corrupt as the people who take it too far sometimes. Always has been, always will be.

How about we get off of theology and back to the Windoze /Linux /Mac confrontation as NOT everyone is a card carrying Christian or Muslim or whatever ...NOBODY Knows what lies ahead of us when we die and frankly I don't give a damn ...I'll be dead !!!
If Kenny would stop his stupid likening of Microsoft and Apple to the Nazis, etc, then maybe this thread would stay on topic.
Question:
If someone's dual-booting XP and 7, is that what they call double-glazing?
