tintin++ is transparent between all platforms.

I personally don't really see the point of a Mac unless you work with movies/graphics.

Death_Claw June 02, 2008 12:02AM

Its simple. If you know what you're doing, buy windows.

When I met my physics advisor a while back, I asked him why he had a mac sitting under his desk.

Inquisitor June 02, 2008 08:27AM

One word: Bash

See, for someone's who is like you, Isildur or I, then I could see Mac/Linux.

Death_Claw June 02, 2008 05:10AM

Okay, two things then: 1) it's pretty, and 2) Paradox of Choice

Rade June 02, 2008 07:12AM

My first computer is a mac.

Splntrd June 03, 2008 12:17AM

What do you need to do on a windows machine that you can't do on a mac besides play video games?

Inquisitor June 02, 2008 01:30AM

Stupid argument.

Death_Claw June 02, 2008 05:17AM

Tell that to my mother and my mother in law. And stupid argument is a stupid argument.

Inquisitor June 02, 2008 07:58AM

Its pointless to argue with someone who doesn't consider vendor support a benefit. n/t

Death_Claw June 02, 2008 10:58AM

You consider vendor support a benefit? Wow, okay, now I understand.

Inquisitor June 02, 2008 11:20AM

Heheh.

Try a different binary. I use Version 1.96.3. No bugs on my end.

Isildur(VIP) June 02, 2008 08:32AM

Hmm, yeah. I see what you mean.

Isildur(VIP) June 02, 2008 12:50AM

Mostly meaningless argument...

People who install dumb screensavers from nefarious sites deserve their fate. n/t

Death_Claw June 02, 2008 05:26AM

I'd rather save them from themselves. nt

Isildur(VIP) June 02, 2008 06:13AM

Fair enough. "Mac: the system for the mentally challenged."

Isildur(VIP) June 02, 2008 05:33PM

Hmm... think about it man.

Krilcov June 02, 2008 11:58AM

Computers aren't guns though.

Death_Claw June 02, 2008 04:24PM

My mom's pretty smart, she's just a technophobe. My physics professor was just tired of learning new OSs. Its kind of more about avoiding stress and tedium, really, than a form of mental retardation.~

Inquisitor June 02, 2008 11:22AM

Seconded.~

RE: Adium

Splntrd June 02, 2008 12:27AM

Nope. nt

Isildur(VIP) June 02, 2008 12:34AM

Time for me to uninstall/reinstall. nt

Splntrd June 02, 2008 12:55AM

I'm running all the latest stuff. OSX 10.5.3 and the latest Adium. nt

Isildur(VIP) June 02, 2008 12:59AM

I guess it might be a conflict between the latest version of Adium, which came out after 10.5, and OSX 10.4.11

Splntrd June 02, 2008 03:08AM

my favorite thing about adium...txt

Isildur(VIP) June 02, 2008 04:00AM

Woah, that's a pretty smart feature, I'd never heard of that. I'll have to get that when my Dell ships. nt
