Also, I've looked into animated backgrounds, (They use quartz compositions, right?) but do they take up much memory? It things aren't running optimal, I **** bricks.

Im sorry for your loss man. I mean truly you must be Gorge W. in the flesh if you can afford to pay 1,000,000,000+ for a Mac. While I don't agree with your choice of computer I will fight to the death to defend it (kind of).

Macs dont cost that much.

If your right leg, arm, nut, and eternal soul don't mean that much to you I guess not....

I agree that Macs are expensive. But can you list any other valid negative points?

Well, as a gamer, I'm quite turned off by how few companies support Mac games.

Yeah, I know. Legible, right? I hope.

Macs are niether cheap NOR are they customizable as far as adding new hardware NOR do they play 80% of games on todays market. And OSX SUCKS! I have to admit when I first saw the paper thin laptop on the commercial I was amazed, then I saw the apple on the back of it and wondered to myself if Bill Gates could even afford somthing as such.
-
THEN WHAT'S THE POINT OF BUYING THE MAC?
Better operating system, high quality computer.
Putting windows on there is like having your awesome cake, and getting some ice cream to eat with it.
Anyone who can actually criticize OSX 10.5 has never used it, or has used it with a terrible attitude for less than two minutes. The system is superior in every way. EVERY WAY.
Also, as shown above, Steam can be ran via Crossover, which I think crosses off 40% of that "Games that aren't supported by mac."
-
Only millionaires and people with guns to thier heads would like macs.

So now that we're done advertising Macs, back to topic please?

Linux is nice.

Linux is nice.
Yes

How about that Unix...

How about that Unix...
... *mario voice* no?
-
Linux is nice.
Yes. But it has the same problem as Macs, I think.
-
I found Linux fun, I played with it in an OS course.
-
Linux is pretty cool.
-
Linux used to be my OS, but then my computer fried, and I couldn't find anyone to fix it, so I reinstalled it with Window's
Then that died, so now I have a different computer
-
The best part about Linux is that no one makes viruses that crash Linux OS. Most are made for windows since most people use windows.
Linux on the other hand is a lot like Mac. But more customisable and free.(well, obviously I mean the OS, not the computer). You just download it and install it. You don't need to pay more than enough for a computer to get it.

I think you've went a little off-topic again.

I am actually using most of the shortcuts on my desktop. I haven't cleaned it in a while, that's why such things as the vertrigo is present.
My icon is in an order that i myself can understand, which is the important thing :P

I've always been down with animated wallpapers, but I like to make my own stuff. Since I don't have the time/money/tools/know-how/etc. to properly create or apply my own, I found the idea useless (well, for myself, at any rate).
-
I opened up Quartz Composer (for creating screensavers) for a few minutes. Slid some bars, pushed some buttons... The interface was very welcoming; It looked clean, sleek, and idiot-proof.
Then I decided I was too lazy to figure out how to use it. BUT ONE DAY!

BEST DESKTOP EVER:

Here is my current Desktop

Thats cute.
-
Is that C&C 1 I see? And what's with the alternate Mozilla Firefox icon? Mine's not like that.
-
What's a démarrer?
-
Gets rid of Mars.
-
Is that C&C 1 I see? And what's with the alternate Mozilla Firefox icon? Mine's not like that.
Nah it's The First Decade. But it does contain the first C&C though.
And I found the Firefox icon somewhere on the Internet. I just don't remember where exactly.
What's a démarrer?
"Démarrer" simply means start (for a machine, car, etc.).
-
1. Cool desktop picture.
2. Firefox icon is kyooot.
3. What the hell is Neo Steam?
4. HEY, STEAM! ADD ME! (Uberpwn_w00t)
5. You have Blood Frontier, but you don't have Sauerbraten? Get Sauerbraten, gogogo sauerbraten.org
6. lolcharas
-
Neo Steam is an MMORPG which I think is on Open Beta. It's based on the concept of SteamPunk, which is what interested me (since I first heard/read about it here on Charas). However, it's very laggy so I don't play much.
I can add you on Steam but I don't play much of the games, though. My computer sucks and I lag on most games. Oh and I suck in CSS.
I actually don't really play Blood Frontier, I just haven't removed the shortcut. I'll check for Sauerbraten.
Oh and Charas is one of the place I visit the most, and usually the first place I go when I open Internet, that's why I have it on shortcut.
-
It's not that laggy
I just stopped playing for....I don't know...
Hmm...
And it was released a few weeks ago.
-
Maybe it's that laggy because my computer suck, then.
Also, the first MMORPG I played was WoW so now every free MMORPG I try seem not good enough, which is also one of the reason I don't play Neo Steam that much.

Nothing about this dazzles me just kind of gag a little. Im sorry Macs are crap. But anyways here the new desktop since the computer crashed the other day.

How bland, Rahl. I mean, I enjoyed Oblivion, too, but... Spiff it up or something.
-
Star Craft is a great game.
-
Im pretty much an oblivion addict right now. And yes Star Craft IS and awesome game. One of the best RTS out there still.
-
It was alright, I guess. I'm not much of an RTS man, so that may alter my opinion of the game, but it felt like Micromanagement: The Game.
Not very interesting most of the time.

This is mine
-
OMG dude, Persona 4 white rider!
-
Am I the only one who thinks white backgrounds are not that good looking?
-
I think it depends. In general, though, yeah. White tends to look like they took an image the wrong size, and said "whatever, let the white take over from here".
-
It's a scan from the artbook. It was a large image, so I decided to wallpaper it.
-
Nothing about this dazzles me just kind of gag a little.
Fair enough. But was it really necessary to dig it up from page 5 just to say that?
Im sorry
Don't be.
Macs are crap.
You know, I don't think you've listed a valid reason as to why you dislike Mac yet.
-
I just prefer Windows, it's what I grew up on is all.
-
I grew up with Windows too. I don't prefer one over the other, to be honest. It just annoys me when people bash an operating system without anything to back up their statements. Be it Windows, Linux, or Mac. I've seen plenty of Mac fanatics bash Windows without good reason too. It all vexes me, really.
-
I like Windows. But I started liking Linux recently.
-
Funny thing, I grew up around Macs, but I prefer Windows. I want to try Linux, but I'm afraid that I just don't have the patience to learn how to use it right now (plus, I'm a bit afraid that I'll **** something up big time while switching. Not exactly the most OS exchange or dual-boot savvy fellow out there, you know).
-
I don't dual-boot either and I'm afraid of it the same way you are. So I just never have done it.
-
Pfff. I triple boot.
And yes, I'm serious. Here's a video. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkLbC_my5Lo)
-
Eh, I guess it's just that I don't have a reason or use for that kind of system other than play older programs/games.
-
Admittedly, I did that mostly for fun. And to show off. xD
-
For fun, I do stupid stuff in Doom. Maybe I should make a screenshot into my next background XD
-
Speaking of Doom...
I've usually preferred Linux.
I just like it more.
Plus I don't like Mac's, mainly due to the fact that in my experience, they crash more than Windows (I'm not kidding).
And I'm not all particularly fond of Windows because even though Mac's crash more (in my experience), Windows crashes for no ****ing reason whatsoever.
-
Speaking of Doom...
I know, I know. I'll be getting back to it soon. I'll be implementing Bluhman player and fix up the character icon's missing frames.
Windows crashes for no ****ing reason whatsoever.
Yeah, I've had this happen a few times, most of the time it was me being stupid though. >_<

Ctrl-Alt-Deleting Explorer.exe?

I don't want to talk about it...
-
Ctrl-Alt-Deleting Explorer.exe?
...
I don't want to talk about it...
I usually do that if it starts acting up, like it won't show new files unless I refresh manually. Fixes the problem for me by closing Explorer.exe then restarting it.
-
Plus I don't like Mac's, mainly due to the fact that in my experience, they crash more than Windows (I'm not kidding).
Oh God, I'm having flashbacks...
I'm sure they're more stable now, right? I mean, they keep bragging about it in all their commercials, right? It's like it's their only real selling point, right? It must be 100% true, no exceptions, right?
Right?
*remembers the seriously fucked over crash noise*
It's a quarter to three. I'm about ready to hit the sack. I will be having nightmares now.

On the topic of operating systems:
I have 10.4. It never really crashes on me, but every once and a while it will freeze, and require a reboot. I'm not afraid to admit that Mac OS has plenty of issues. I've used Mac OS 9, 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5. None of them are perfect. They are all far from perfect.
That being said, I'm not afraid to admit that Windows has a lot of flaws as well. I didn't have a Mac as a home computer until 2005/6ish. I used Windows up until that point. I've used Windows 95, 2000, XP, Server 2003, and Vista.
Coming from a guy who has ample, unbiased experience from both ends of the spectrum... Neither is better than the other.
Even if you did start to compare them, you'd have to make sure everything was fair. You'd have to have to make sure the system specifications of the two machines were the same. You'd have to make sure each OS was out-of-the-box unaltered. Files they came with, software they came with. You'd have to make sure they were both the same architecture (32bit, 64bit, etc.). Running at the same resolution. The point is, at that point, what´s the point? (pointpointpoint) In making it fair, you're making it unfair, because obviously these are very strict conditions, and they certainly don't apply to any normal situation. It's just not worth it to even start to claim one operating system is better than another.
Which is why I find Rahl's anti-Mac stance so abrasive. I couldn't care less if you prefer one operating system or another, but for ****'s sake, say that. Don't phrase it as if it were a fact, because it isn't. And if you're going to go ahead and say "Macs are crap", at least have some valid reasoning behind it.
And no, [Insert joke about Apple overpricing their products here] does not count as valid reasoning.

Ok these are my reasons for hating Mac. Pros-Cons of both systems.
Mac Pros-Cons=
-Its cool that mac only has a monitor built in computer.
-Some of the little effects that Mac have are cool.
-IPhones are just awesome
-Mac Laptops are thin as hell and that pretty awesome.
-They run pretty smooth
-The average user has to take out a morgage on thier house to get a mac. that you could pay 1/3 of and get a PC with the same or BETTER stats.
-You can't play older games and many newer games on them.
-I hate the one button mouse.
-The file arrangement system blows, you can never find anything.
-The commercials say macs dont get viruses I say BULL S HIT, becasue my friend got one that fucked his computer to hell, viruses are for Mac people jsut BUILD them for PC's becasue its easier and more people use PC's.
-Mac do NOT support adding new hardware or customizing you computer, which means you have to take out another morgage on your house to buy the new one when yours is out of date.
-Those paper this macs Look cool, but the thinner they are the less sturdy they are as well.
-Macs are good for making graphically media, and THATS IT.
PC Pros-Cons=
-PC's are very customizable.
-They are very affordable.
-They are extremely gamer friendly.
-They are very easy to use.
-They use a root folder system which makes things alot easier to find.
-The are compatible with nearly everything.
-Most things are made for them.
-And again you can CUSTOMIZE them, which I can't stress enough.
-PCs are often unstable which is often not the developers fault but rather the people that make the virus, and also often the reponsibility of the owners which download movies and songs from unsavery websites and sharing software.
-PCs inevitably slow down after so long after the installation of the operating system, but this is because they more you add to it the more it has to read through, and the more you surf the net with it the more viruses its gonna get.
-You hear PC owners constantly complain about viruses when there are **** loads of free anti-virus scanners out there, and they just need to not be stupid abotu what they do to begin with.
For the most part my severe dislike of Macs come from people who keep bashing PCs instead of thier own stupidity, people who hype Macs all to hell. I mean its like the hybrid of computer now, theres so much damn smug I'm choking on it (view south park for reference). So yes I hate Macs with everything in me, and yes "pizzing on a Mac" is on my bucketlist.

Several of your points are severly wrong, but I can't be fucked telling you why.
-
I don't think he's used a Mac in the last ten years. Some of those issues are long since resolved. *coughonebuttonmousecough*

The only problem I have with macs is that their commercials are incredibly vague and miss informative. They don't seem to focus on their real advantages or selling points.
Other than this, their (Mac's) Wolfenstein 3D game had some pretty high-res graphics. Wish I had a copy but alas it is unobtainable on the net.

True dat.
Also, one thing people fail to understand when comparing Mac OS with Windows... Mac OS is an operating system. Mac OS is not synonymous with Apple computers. In the same way that Windows is not synonymous with Dell computers. Thus, points like "Apple computers are too expensive" and "Apple computers are not customizable" are irrelevant.
You don't compare an operating system to a computer, you compare an operating system to an operating system.

Mac OSX isn't compatible with all PC's.
It's even in the first paragraph. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh)

Windows wouldnt be compatible with Macs if Apple didn't go out of their way to make it compatible via Bootcamp.

I believe you reversed my statement...

That's just Apple being greedy. Technically, not much is stopping you.
-
Another example of apple being greedy is that Mp3s can be converted to be able to be played on Ipods, but that format cannot be converted into mp3s in my experience. So you can download all the damn music you want from itunes, but if you get anything other than a mac product your scrood.
-
I agree on all of your pros to the Mac.
All 'neat,' no 'need'.

Uh, that's sort of completely wrong. You can get regular MP3s off of iTunes.

Now, every song available on the iTunes Store is an iTunes Plus song. That means you get high-quality music with 256-Kbps AAC encoding, making every song you download virtually indistinguishable from the original recording. iTunes Plus songs are all free of burn limits and digital rights management (DRM). So the music you buy will play on iPod, Apple TV, all Mac and Windows computers, and many other digital music players.
Oh hey, and it's DRM free, unlike most of your shitty alternatives. See, another pro to a Mac, is the fact that Apple designs all of their products from the ground up for compatibility with their computers, kind of like how Microsoft supplies with you calculator. Only all the software that they include is actually fleshed out and fully functional, so you don't need to go and buy/download a shitty third party alternative (EX: Winamp, Firefox (and no, don't misunderstand this, I AM calling Firefox shitty, memory whore.) and garbage like Trillian.) You pay for what you get; A steak with all the sides, or goulash, with random **** thrown in, in hopes it works properly.
This post has been automatically spell and grammar checked by OS X, a feature it supplies by default to all programs written for it, which don't worry, along with a dock-ripoff, I'm sure Windows 7 will have.

Although that awful DRM crap was courtesy of the music industry, to begin with.

This should go without having to be said, but **** the music industry, we (not including me of course.) support them over the years, only to be bombarded with the lousy **** they push on us now, (IE: Nickleback, whom should die in an incinderary lightshow as soon as possible.) and THEY complain about the things WE do? Apple is the best damn thing that's happened to the music industry in a long time as far as pushing sales goes (They have statistics, look them up and present proof before arguing against it.) and then Apple shows that they have hairy man-balls by telling them to shove their DRM **** up their asses.
We all complain about McDonalds because their **** sucks, but it's the number one fastfood in the world because it's available and it's cheap. For those of you who are unable to make the connection, same goes for windows. Excuse me while I pay a bit extra for a man-burger from Hardees. (Carl's Jr for those who have those instead (Same restaurant, different name geographically for whatever reason.))

**** the music industry
I hear ya brotha. I wrote an essay on this.

I third this motion as well.

Hey man, if you got the money and the house to morgage for a Mac book be my guest, I just hate everyone that gives windows such a hard time when it completely superior to a Mac. Most I LIKE CUSTOMIZATION. Yes Mac comes with everything you need but NOT everything you want, when Macs are customizable and get heads out of thier arses I'll give them less crap, till then I still dream of the day I am a millionare and can afford a Mac, even though I'll go broke I'll buy it just to be able to pizz on it and die a happy man.

All I know is I tried it with my friends account and could not for the life of me convert it.

You couldn't have stated "I have absolutely no idea what I am talking about." better than that. Bravo.
It's okay man, people fear the unknown.

Being a recent Linux convert, I have to say that Apex is being the perfect example of a Mac user right now, and Rahl isn't doing it right.
-

Over here, its actually pretty damn expensive. Its like, ten brazilian bucks for a tiny "big" mac, a coke and some fries, when you could be paying 5 bucks for a huge sandwich (that tastes way better) on some other fast food thing.

No Im not using Windows XP, though I still think I like it better than Vista. I think windows 7 is gonna be pretty awesome. But yeah with the whole Mac sometimes I can troll quite a bit about it, because I just want to blow the smug off of ever mac user's face with a 50cal at point blank range. I get a little overenthusiastic when people bring up macs because its not all about macs, its hlaf about the people that OWN macs. You would think that macs are the new feminism when it comes to computers some kind of movement that when combined with the smug from San Francisco threatens to destroy life as we know it.

Now thats a small monitor... I like it, though. Somehow more empty than my desktop, I have 4 icons.

Yeah, small is all I can get. It costs money to get a new one, and money is something I don't have much of.
Over the years, I've grown fond of this now substandard monitor size.
Also, going to whittle down my desktop population. It's getting awfully cluttered.
