| DaemonFC | "I have a feeling that when you try to install OS X "Mavericks" on your pre-2007 Mac and find that Apple has deprecated something that you still might use every day, they're not going to help you do anything other than buy an expensive new Mac. | Jul 20 10:43 |
| DaemonFC | Linux still runs on all Macs. Even the Core Solo Mac Mini from 2006. | Jul 20 10:43 |
| DaemonFC | You don't have to wait for Apple to declare your hardware deprecated to upgrade to Linux though. Linux is for everybody. Your Mac will almost certainly even be faster than it was before after the upgrade. It's not like GNOME and KDE don't have their $20,000 toilet seats in terms of components that use system resources just because they want to behave more like Windows and Mac, but there are lots of options! Even the most piggish Linux | Jul 20 10:43 |

| DaemonFC | The real sticking points that will keep me from buying a Mac are the obscene price, the bad Apple software, and the fact that the hardware is frequently underpowered and impossible to upgrade or service by me, the end user. This comes together to create a relatively short usable life for a Mac computer. You're better off with Linux on PC." | Jul 20 10:43 |

| DaemonFC | For that price, you could buy five Android Ones, smash four of them, and still be $50 ahead. | Jul 20 11:11 |
| DaemonFC | 78% of all smartphone sales are <$200. | Jul 20 11:13 |
| DaemonFC | At the extreme low end, some people buy Windows phones because Microsoft is selling them below cost to try to create a market for them. Microsoft has tried introducing Windows phones with better specs. I've never seen anyone buy them. | Jul 20 11:13 |

| DaemonFC | Someone told me that Amazon made a Kindle "cloud reader" web app that runs in modern web browsers. I've never used Kindle before because of the Digital Restrictions Management[1], but I decided that since there would be no software to install, and Amazon does have some "free" books to test it out with, I thought I would give it a spin, just for kicks. | Jul 20 12:30 |
| DaemonFC | Thanks Amazon. | Jul 20 12:30 |
| DaemonFC | This is the most flagrant abuse of Javascript I've ever seen. Actually, it's not Javascript. It's more like "Obfuscript", to make it more difficult to figure out how their DRM works, so that you can't copy and paste text. | Jul 20 12:30 |

| DaemonFC | Interesting. I have the app on a somewhat old and slow 10 inch netbook with one of those Atom processors and it is also on my SG3 phone. On both devices, the app works great and is as fast as all three of my Kindles. | Jul 20 14:11 |

| DaemonFC | I have a Phenom II X4 945 and a Geforce 560 GTX and Amazon's cloud reader is so slow, it's like scrolling through a web page using the VESA driver from Windows XP. | Jul 20 14:11 |
| DaemonFC | Maybe I'll use Kindle when Amazon lets me save a file to my hard drive and open it up in Evince, without all this laggy encumbering Kindle garbage layered on top, so that you can't retain data that you paid for. | Jul 20 14:11 |
| DaemonFC | Seriously. I played Skyrim under Wine on this thing recently, but books lag? | Jul 20 14:11 |
| DaemonFC | This is clearly a regression. Real books don't render slowly and require piss poor software in order to read them. I also know that I can keep my real books forever, regardless of what Amazon's future business plans are. | Jul 20 14:14 |

| DaemonFC | No. They *should* just use the simplest solution that works, which is to give me the damned file. | Jul 20 15:37 |
| DaemonFC | This isn't the fastest machine in the world, but it's still faster than, say, a $1,100 iMac. | Jul 20 15:37 |
| DaemonFC | It still kicks some butt as far I I'm concerned. I still game on it. GNOME is fast and buttery smooth. Video playback is fantastic. Applications load at the snap of a finger. | Jul 20 15:37 |
| DaemonFC | I just wish people would ditch proprietary software that is designed to be treacherous and bloated, and to backstab their customer. | Jul 20 15:37 |
| DaemonFC | Then computers would work well and we wouldn't need to say things like "Damned computers. Why doesn't this work as well as what we had before?". | Jul 20 15:37 |
| DaemonFC | J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says: | Jul 20 15:37 |
| DaemonFC | The people running Amazon's Kindle store, and people who publish to it boil down to two kinds. | Jul 20 15:37 |
| DaemonFC | 1. They are ignorant. | Jul 20 15:37 |
| DaemonFC | or | Jul 20 15:37 |
| DaemonFC | 2. They're bad people who are doing disgusting things. | Jul 20 15:37 |
| DaemonFC | I generally prefer to think that most of them are #1s, because then they're simply misguided and don't fully appreciate the harm that they are causing, vs. #2s, who are just bastards. | Jul 20 15:37 |
| DaemonFC | J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says: | Jul 20 15:57 |
| DaemonFC | Is there a list, somewhere, of all the books available without Digital Restrictions Malware, so I know who I can do business with just by looking at a particular page? | Jul 20 15:57 |
| DaemonFC | By the way, I'm obviously very serious here. If I wanted the book, there are easier ways. Since Amazon is stopping me from doing business with them, and acquiring it without DRM might involve something equally dishonest as a publisher that uses DRM in the first place, and two wrongs don't make a right, I suppose that I'll just have to go to the library and/or continue buying old fashioned books. | Jul 20 15:57 |

| DaemonFC | Gizmodo reviewed the 2013 Mac Mini and had to go back to Half Life 2 (2004) to find a game that it could handle. | Jul 20 17:09 |
| DaemonFC | That's pathetic. For a $1,050 computer? Apple should kill themselves for this. It probably wouldn't know whether to **** or wind its wristwatch if you tried to run something from this decade on it. | Jul 20 17:09 |
| DaemonFC | Apple's the one that's kludging the crap out of their systems. Who cares if it has a fast CPU if you're stuck with integrated video and the hard drive is a dog? Really. Who wants that system? It's one of the most unbalanced systems I've seen. People buy these? | Jul 20 17:09 |

| DaemonFC | It's not really my computer that is struggling if Amazon's software is just poorly designed. | Jul 21 13:30 |
| DaemonFC | Google Docs does way more than Amazon Cloud Reader does, but Google Docs runs fine. | Jul 21 13:30 |
| DaemonFC | You can always come up with software that is so poorly built that it doesn't run on a reasonably configured PC. | Jul 21 13:30 |
| DaemonFC | I'm not thrilled to still be using a PC that's 5 years old, save for a nice graphics card upgrade[1], but I don't really want to buy a new computer right at this very moment. I'm in kind of a holding pattern right now, trying to get more time out of what I'm using while hoping that someone comes and fixes the PC market mess with something that you can just buy and use. Windows and Mac are not what I'd call "usable". Sorry. | Jul 21 13:30 |
| DaemonFC | The two best outcomes that could save the PC are that Steam OS and/or Chrome OS pan out. I'll tell you my line of thinking on this. | Jul 21 13:30 |
| DaemonFC | Steam Machines will be real computers, not just a video game console. You can boot out of Steam OS, which is a thin "Just Enough" OS built on Linux, which will be a great thing, because you will get better performance than Windows can give you. 1. Linux performs better than Windows anyway in a side by side comparison running the native version of identical games right now. 2. A JEOS like Steam OS will run them even better because it throws | Jul 21 13:30 |
| DaemonFC | out all of the stuff you don't need for gaming. | Jul 21 13:30 |
| DaemonFC | Valve's CEO, Gabe Newell, promised that you can reboot the machine into any normal PC OS to get your "boring" stuff done, so if this pans out, I could have a badass gaming console, that can reboot into Fedora, and that's just cool! | Jul 21 13:30 |
| DaemonFC | On the other hand, we have Chrome OS, which is Chrome running in its own "JEOS" version of Linux, and since Chrome is a powerful development platform which is only going to get more powerful, I think it's not unreasonable to think that we're going to get Chrome PCs with lots of RAM, fast processors, and decent video cards at some point. | Jul 21 13:30 |
| DaemonFC | Either way, I do believe that Linux is the OS of the future. The surge of Chrome OS to the #1 desktop on Amazon and the #1 laptop on Amazon kind of tells me that Windows and Mac are quickly becoming legacy operating systems, whose only defenders are like Japanese soldiers on an island in 1945 that didn't hear about how badly the war is going. | Jul 21 13:30 |
| DaemonFC | [1] And a nice graphics card can save you from a "blah" CPU these days, but a terrible graphics chipset, like we find in Macs and Walmart PCs can never be compensated for by a good CPU, which makes it all the more puzzling as to why Apple insists on fast CPUs with brain damaged Intel graphics chipsets. Apple has always been hostile to video game publishers, like going out of its way to make sure that games don't run on the Mac. | Jul 21 13:30 |
| DaemonFC | err, boot to steam OS rather *edits* | Jul 21 13:31 |
| Sosumi | nah | Jul 21 13:43 |

| DaemonFC | Now that the Microsoft software to sync the damned thing is abandoned, people who own one are up the creek without a paddle. I don't know what the most current situation is in regards to trying to get them to sync using other software, but from the looks of this article, Microsoft went very far out of its way to prevent that from happening. | Jul 21 13:44 |
| DaemonFC | If you want a portable media player, get one that has Mass Storage Class support, or keep walking. That's my opinion, of course, but I think it's ridiculous that you can't drag and drop files using your operating system's file manager on Zunes and iPods, while a cheap little Sandisk Sansa has always allowed this. No bloated crapware necessary. Get off my lawn! B-) | Jul 21 13:44 |

| DaemonFC | And Apple's statement about running Halo on a budget PC was pretty funny, because it ran OK on a budget PC. I know because I had a budget PC and Halo. :P | Jul 21 14:03 |
| DaemonFC | It wasn't a particularly advanced game engine. It ran on the original XBOX for crying out loud. The PC version was better because the XBOX version had no networking capabilities. Apple probably used it as an example of what you could do on the PowerPC Mac because it was one of the only 3d games that you could actually buy for a Mac. Microsoft kept Bungie's promise that it would work on a Mac, but Mac users got it two months later than PC | Jul 21 14:03 |
| DaemonFC | users. | Jul 21 14:03 |
| DaemonFC | Probably the only reason I got away with running Halo on my crappy Compaq that I had at the time was because the development target *was* a Mac. I still remember how butthurt Mac fanboys were when Microsoft bought Bungie, which was the only video game company that I'm aware of that ever *tried* to produce a Mac exclusive. (Notice how Halo 2 only runs on a Mac if you reboot it into at least Windows Vista, or maybe Windows XP if you apply the | Jul 21 14:03 |
| DaemonFC | Halo 2 XP "patch", but that's unofficial, and YMMV. And even then, good luck, because they weren't aiming for your crappy Mac with this one.) | Jul 21 14:03 |
| DaemonFC | I don't know. It's been enough years since Halo 2 PC came out that Intel integrated video in a Mac might be on par with a mediocre video card from 2006 by now. Anyone? | Jul 21 14:03 |
| DaemonFC | Apple's "budget" Macs are really nothing to write home about. It's budget PC performance at mid-range PC prices. | Jul 21 14:08 |
| DaemonFC | A $450 HP Pavilion with an AMD A10 APU will happily blow the Mac Mini right out of the water. | Jul 21 14:10 |
| DaemonFC | That's how bad things are at the low end of the Mac market. | Jul 21 14:10 |
| DaemonFC | Sosumi, Well, the nice thing about waiting to buy a new computer is that the longer you wait, the better system you'll get at any price level. | Jul 21 14:17 |

| Sosumi | the crap gpus across the board only started in 2009 | Jul 21 14:50 |
| DaemonFC | I had a Radeon 9800 Pro paired with an Intel Celeron at the time. | Jul 21 14:50 |

| Sosumi | instead of the gtx285 | Jul 21 14:50 |
| DaemonFC | I've noticed that a decent GPU can save you from a bad CPU in games, but a bad GPU means it doesn't matter what your CPU is. | Jul 21 14:50 |
| DaemonFC | Even though the current higher end i7s are more than twice as fast as my Phenom II X4, when you go to load a game with an identical GPU on both systems, the i7 only brings the framerate up by 5-10% usually. | Jul 21 14:51 |

| Sosumi | and I just use my computer for work | Jul 21 14:53 |
| Sosumi | testing with algos and so on | Jul 21 14:53 |
| DaemonFC | Modern game engines can create extra threads to take advantage of more cores, so your performance could actually go down with a dual core i5. | Jul 21 14:53 |
| DaemonFC | There's just nothing really exciting about getting a new CPU these days. | Jul 21 14:54 |

| DaemonFC | Apple tries to keep people in the dark about their new products. The only way you know that a current model is about to be replaced by a newer one is when stores start running out of the older model. | Jul 21 15:15 |
| DaemonFC | Apple knows that when you announce a new product, that sales of the old version collapse, and they want to keep people paying full price for the old model all the way to the end. | Jul 21 15:15 |
| DaemonFC | It makes it difficult to plan an upgrade cycle when you don't even know when the new hardware will be out. | Jul 21 15:15 |
| Sosumi | lol, it was apple who kept the 2011 mac pro going for 3 years with no updates and no price decrease | Jul 21 15:19 |
| Sosumi | and the sole reason they stopped selling it was because intel was going to stop manufacturing nehalem and westmere cpus | Jul 21 15:19 |
| Sosumi | and then they released the trashcan pro | Jul 21 15:20 |
| DaemonFC | Right, so right now the Mac Mini is 165 days past the average time between releases. | Jul 21 15:20 |
| DaemonFC | It's the 2012 model, and it's still selling at full price. | Jul 21 15:20 |
| Sosumi | crapple :) | Jul 21 15:20 |
| DaemonFC | People who buy it will see that in a month or two, there will be a new model that's twice as fast for the same price. | Jul 21 15:20 |
| abeNd-org | heh | Jul 21 15:20 |
| abeNd-org | yes, but people keep buying it, otherwise apple wouldnt keep the price where it is at | Jul 21 15:20 |
| abeNd-org | blame the same people who think they have a cousin who is a nigerian king that has millions for them | Jul 21 15:21 |
| DaemonFC | Right, so you buy the 2012 model, and then the new model comes out with a CPU that's very nearly twice as fast, and maybe double the RAM and the same price. Who wouldn't feel stupid for that? | Jul 21 15:21 |
| abeNd-org | most apple consumers wouldnt know the difference | Jul 21 15:22 |
| DaemonFC | I know. The people who buy Apple in the first place. | Jul 21 15:22 |
| DaemonFC | Even they must visit Apple.com now and then and see Apple bragging about how fast the new model is compared with the old one. | Jul 21 15:22 |
| DaemonFC | Also, Apple cuts off support for old products as quickly as they can, so buying the current Mac Mini means that you're already two years into its "life cycle", which means that if you wait and get the next model, you should be able to expect an additional 1-2 OS upgrades vs. buying this one. | Jul 21 15:23 |
| DaemonFC | Once Apple cuts off OS X upgrades, the pool of available software goes into immediate decline because they also rip out the ability for developers to target unsupported versions of Mac OS from XCode right away. | Jul 21 15:24 |
| DaemonFC | So, it's even more uncomfortable than continuing to use Windows XP. | Jul 21 15:24 |
| DaemonFC | So, even though you still have hardware that would be capable of running an office suite or a web browser, you can't even get current versions of those. | Jul 21 15:25 |
| DaemonFC | I prefer for my PC to gracefully degrade. In other words, new software that actually needs new hardware might stop working, but software that doesn't won't. | Jul 21 15:25 |
| DaemonFC | Because most new software doesn't need particularly new hardware anyway. | Jul 21 15:26 |
| abeNd-org | i will have to say my work phone, an old 4s, came out with ios5 & is getting the ios8 update, so that is pretty good for a mobile device | Jul 21 15:26 |
| abeNd-org | none of the sammy phones get upgrades anything like that, perhaps 1 major rev if they are lucky | Jul 21 15:26 |
| DaemonFC | I heard that the iPhone 4 line won't get iOS 8. | Jul 21 15:27 |
| DaemonFC | Besides, you don't need a new version of Android to run most Android apps. | Jul 21 15:27 |
| DaemonFC | People with Gingerbread can still run many apps. | Jul 21 15:27 |
| abeNd-org | you are correct, but that was released back in june 2010, so 4yrs old is pretty long in tooth when it comes to mobile devices | Jul 21 15:28 |
| abeNd-org | actually, my wife had to junk her 2.3.x android phone because of the new google calendar app wouldnt work with it, & the old one wasnt syncing properly anymore, & she is a heavy calendar user | Jul 21 15:29 |
| DaemonFC | That brings me to my other point. | Jul 21 15:30 |
| DaemonFC | Respectable Android phones are getting cheaper. | Jul 21 15:30 |
| DaemonFC | The Android One thing aims for a decent $100 Android phone without any subsidies. | Jul 21 15:31 |
| abeNd-org | hers was a at one time top of the line motorola | Jul 21 15:31 |
| DaemonFC | So, the iPhone 5c will still be $549 while a "good enough" Android phone will only be $100. | Jul 21 15:31 |
| abeNd-org | that motorola had on their 4.x upgrade list for the longest, then cancelled | Jul 21 15:31 |
| abeNd-org | which made that the last moto product we were going to ever buy (sure other things might have moto chips or such, but not buying anything with moto branding) | Jul 21 15:32 |
| Sosumi | back in the days of pocket pc | Jul 21 15:40 |
| Sosumi | the version of pocket pc or palm os you bought the device with | Jul 21 15:41 |
| Sosumi | was the one you’d also be stuck with | Jul 21 15:41 |
| Sosumi | same for symbian | Jul 21 15:41 |
| Sosumi | at least on the iphone, the have been doing good there | Jul 21 15:41 |
| abeNd-org | depending on the model, sometimes you would get no updates, minor updates, but i dont think you would ever see a major version update | Jul 21 15:41 |

| abeNd-org | yea, i think iphones usually received 3 major os revision updates | Jul 21 15:42 |
| Sosumi | with the 4 now being dropped after it was released back in 2010 | Jul 21 15:42 |
| Sosumi | while the only android devices that get regular updates are the nexus and google play editions | Jul 21 15:43 |
| abeNd-org | even the sammy flagship phones rarely get updates | Jul 21 15:43 |
| Sosumi | yeah | Jul 21 15:43 |
| DaemonFC | I just got my car insurance renewal bill. Bleh! | Jul 21 16:06 |
| DaemonFC | I'm switching companies again because I got a better offer. | Jul 21 16:07 |
| DaemonFC | I hate doing this. They want to ask you a billion questions. It's like canceling AOL. | Jul 21 16:07 |
| DaemonFC | Sosumi, I'm holding off on buying a new system because these upgrades haven't been really impressive lately. | Jul 21 16:09 |
| DaemonFC | I remember when the speed of a CPU would double every year or two, and it was just getting better at a crazy pace | Jul 21 16:10 |
| DaemonFC | I don't think they've tripled in speed in the last five years. | Jul 21 16:11 |

| Sosumi | I understand | Jul 21 16:16 |
| Sosumi | just upgrade when you see it required :) | Jul 21 16:17 |
| DaemonFC | It's kind of sad really. That there haven't been incredible advances in the last five years., | Jul 21 16:19 |
| DaemonFC | Leave it to Apple to take us from dragging and dropping files with a file manager to "You need to install the most horrendously bloated media player ever made, and it only works with Windows and Mac.". EWW! | Jul 21 17:08 |

| DaemonFC | "every new version of iOS is full of bugs" | Jul 21 20:50 |
| DaemonFC | Does it support Ogg Vorbis yet, or are users stuck with Apple's garbage AAC or (god help you) Nero's? | Jul 21 20:50 |
| DaemonFC | Apple and Nero managed to produce such low quality AAC encoders, that although AAC is theoretically as good as Vorbis, their implementations of AAC are often matched or outperformed by the lame MP3 encoder. | Jul 21 20:50 |
| DaemonFC | http://listening-tests.hydrogenaud.io/sebastian/mp3-128-1/results.htm | Jul 21 20:50 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-listening-tests.hydrogenaud.io | Results of the public MP3 listening test @ 128 kbps (October 2008) [ http://ur1.ca/hstpz ] | Jul 21 20:50 | |
| DaemonFC | If it comes down to a choice between Apple AAC or Lame MP3, use the Lame MP3 encoder. It produces files that will work everywhere, the quality is as good or better, and MP3 will be in the public domain in 2017, while MPEG-4 patents (like the ones describing AAC) won't finish expiring until the 2030s. Apple owns MPEG-4 patents and that's why it promotes AAC and fought to get open standard media codecs out of the HTML 5 specification. Apple | Jul 21 20:50 |
| DaemonFC | can't be trusted. The have conflicts of interest with what's good for the public. Like Microsoft, Apple's goal is to suck a tax stream out of innovative companies. Spotify rejected AAC and streams in Vorbis. Good for them! | Jul 21 20:50 |
| DaemonFC | If Vorbis is a choice, then forget both and use Vorbis. | Jul 21 20:50 |
| DaemonFC | I'd call missing Vorbis support a definite dealbreaker when choosing a portable media player. | Jul 21 20:50 |
| DaemonFC | On the topic of Apple's bogus iTunes "Plus" "upgrade", the only point of doubling the size of the files was to run your iThing out of space faster. | Jul 21 20:50 |
| DaemonFC | Only the kind of complete philistine that would do business with Apple, spend $300 on an MP3 player, and wear those crappy earbuds would think that they'd get any benefit from a doubling of bitrate. | Jul 21 20:51 |

| abeNd-org | ive found amazon's drm free mp3 not horrible, & pretty cheap | Jul 21 20:56 |

| DaemonFC | Then again, you can tell where some of them have never made Linux software before, when they repackage all of /usr/lib into their directory. You see truly stupid people doing this all the time. The people who made the video game "Trine" did it. Then one of their files malfunctioned in a newer Linux release, and I had to figure out which one it was and delete that copy of the library so it got the system copy. Stupid stupid people..... | Jul 24 09:58 |
| DaemonFC | But that's proprietary software for you. Stumbling along and hiding incompetence and bugs. Sometimes, calling proprietary software developers incompetent is high praise. | Jul 24 09:58 |
| DaemonFC | Google did Chrome up with a bunch of back asswards Windoze developers and then had to go back and fix pretty much everything later. | Jul 24 09:59 |

| DaemonFC | I am glad that they've made a market for low cost computers that you can just buy and immediately use. | Jul 24 10:03 |
| DaemonFC | At least someone is cleaning up all this Windows mess. | Jul 24 10:04 |
| DaemonFC | I'd like to see Microsoft routed even if they are largely replaced by Google. | Jul 24 10:04 |
| MinceR | that could end up very ugly too | Jul 24 10:05 |
| MinceR | imagine a world where general-purpose computers are illegal unless you have a developer license with the government, and then you have to accept extra-heavy monitoring | Jul 24 10:05 |
| DaemonFC | I think Google has the right idea here. They didn't start with Chrome OS on anything fancy. Just start eating away at Windows on the low end with machines that can do most of what a desktop user is likely to do anyway. | Jul 24 10:05 |

| DaemonFC | "You know, that with all the apps and computers that Apple breaks, you'd wonder how the people who go insane and buy a Mac actually get anything done at all. Software with no active development just dies every few years, and software that is developed has an expensive new version. When Apple finally breaks your entire computer, the only way to get it running modern software again is to upgrade you Mac to Linux. | Jul 24 17:51 |
| DaemonFC | Apple users should be glad that they have access to open source software. Of course, even then, developers can't support your Mac that got dropped and broken by Apple because of bugs and problems that exist in the Mac hardware because Apple rushed a broken product to market (like the first x86 models), or because Apple just wants to sell you new stuff every few years. As soon as you can't run the latest Mac OS, the death watch begins, at | Jul 24 17:51 |
| DaemonFC | least as far as OS X software goes. | Jul 24 17:51 |
| DaemonFC | I understand that with Mavericks and Yosemite, Apple dropped support entirely for a lot of Macs that aren't really even that old. Luckily, Linux will support my non-Mac computer for as long as I'll use it. Part of the reason I didn't buy a Mac was because I knew that this **** would happen and Apple would just drop it when Linux would keep my computer running for all practical purposes for at least twice as long. | Jul 24 17:51 |
| DaemonFC | I suppose there might be some kind of hack to shove Mac OS 10.8 and 10.9 on your "old" 2008 computer anyway, like there was when Apple declared that OS X 10.4 wouldn't run on any Mac without Firewire, but why should anyone have to resort to this on hardware that has no honest reason for being deprecated? | Jul 24 17:51 |
| DaemonFC | There's no legitimate reason to drop a 2008 computer. Things shouldn't have changed so much that it's some kind of a horrible maintenance burden, unless you ****ed everything up real good to get it released faster, like Apple does." | Jul 24 17:51 |
| DaemonFC | "With Apple, the only way forward is to drop the entire computer and most of your software in the trash again every few years and start over." | Jul 24 17:55 |
| abeNd-org | now if you could ramp up the linux marketing machine to match apple's.... | Jul 24 18:03 |

| Sosumi | as for the macs with efi 32, those were the original Intel core based machines and the 2 first mac pros | Jul 24 18:47 |
| DaemonFC | In the PC world, dropping x86-32 support means PCs older than 2004, for the most part. | Jul 24 18:47 |
| DaemonFC | With Apple, they shipped 32-bit EFI on some systems clear up to 2008, so they can't boot into a 64-bit OS properly | Jul 24 18:47 |
| DaemonFC | Apple doesn't care because they can just drop those Macs and tell people to buy new Macs. | Jul 24 18:47 |
| Sosumi | well and those macs are just underpowered now to run any current version of osx anyways | Jul 24 18:48 |
| Sosumi | WELL, they were already crap low end hardware to begin with | Jul 24 18:48 |
| Sosumi | but I do agree that apple could have launched a firmware update to bring those machines capable of booting into 64 machines | Jul 24 18:49 |
| Sosumi | which basically were just the two first mac pros | Jul 24 18:50 |
| Sosumi | 2007 macbook pros already had the 64 bit EFI | Jul 24 18:50 |
| DaemonFC | That's why they still boot, but you have to have a 2009 Mac Mini. | Jul 24 18:52 |

| MinceR | as for the hypeWatch, it will probably have less functionality than the casio ones :> | Jul 24 19:56 |
| MinceR | consider yourself lucky if they'll be able to tell the time reliably | Jul 24 19:56 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, I don't know about the cheap part. I saw a PC the other day for $200 that even threw in a keyboard and a mouse. It wasn't an i5 or i7, but you don't exactly need one when you can't install a video card alongside it to balance the system out on the Mac anyway. | Jul 24 19:57 |
| MinceR | i mean relatively | Jul 24 19:57 |
| DaemonFC | With the Intel integrated video you're stuck with on the Mac, your i7 is going to be a slow-ass bastard anyway. | Jul 24 19:58 |
| DaemonFC | Even at $800. | Jul 24 19:58 |
| MinceR | a slow ass-bastard! | Jul 24 19:58 |
| DaemonFC | It could be worse. Microsoft could make a Windows watch that can't deal with leap year and crashes, like the Zune did. | Jul 24 20:00 |

| DaemonFC | I bought a *snort*....I bought a *chortles*....I bought a BAHAHAHHAHAAAA!!! Mac today. Shit. I'm a horrible liar. ;) | Jul 24 20:12 |
| DaemonFC | So you all can add that to the list of things you'll *_never_* hear me say. | Jul 24 20:19 |

| MinceR | :> | Jul 24 20:20 |
| DaemonFC | As much contempt as I have for Windoze, at least it works sometimes. The Mac really doesn't. If I can't run my existing assortment of software for more than a few years before Apple breaks everything again, then what the hell is the point of having an operating system? | Jul 24 20:22 |
| DaemonFC | I ran into someone the other day that was still using a Pentium 3 computer that he bought in 1999. You'll never see a Mac in service for 15 years. | Jul 24 20:23 |
| DaemonFC | You'll never see Mac software in service for 15 years, for that matter. You buy a new Mac or upgrade the OS, and most of it all breaks again. | Jul 24 20:24 |
| DaemonFC | Just out of curiosity, I asked him why he was still using a PC from 1999, and he told me that he was unemployed and couldn't afford an investment in newer hardware right at the moment, and his 1999 PC was running fine with a minimal Linux system anyway, so it wasn't an immediate problem. | Jul 24 20:26 |
| DaemonFC | Many Mac owners have to replace their system every three years anyway, so they've trashed about 5 computers, going on 6, and all the software that goes with that. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting it to all work better this time. | Jul 24 20:28 |

| abeNd-org | DaemonFC: those mac owners are rich enough that they could care less, they would rather have the social "prestige" of having the newest/latest/greatest | Jul 24 21:43 |
| DaemonFC | Then what on Earth could they possibly be doing with a Mac? | Jul 24 21:44 |
| abeNd-org | "they" think the latest macbook will give them a higher social standing, same thing with the latest iphone | Jul 24 21:45 |
| abeNd-org | and if it costs more, it must be better | Jul 24 21:45 |
| abeNd-org | a "poor" person (unless they are putting themselves into debt to do it) wont be buying a new macbook every yr | Jul 24 21:48 |
| MinceR | some people take out a loan so they can buy a hypePhone | Jul 24 21:49 |
| abeNd-org | MinceR: yea, not the smartest thing to do for sure | Jul 24 21:49 |
| abeNd-org | i have an old 4s, bought for me by my workplace, & if i want an upgrade I'll have to pay for it....I'll pass | Jul 24 21:50 |
| DaemonFC | abeNd-org, Yeah. I remember 10 years ago, there was this college guy that I was fooling around with for a while who had a PowerMac G4. His parents bought it for him and he was all like "My Mac is so awesome.". So he was over at my house one day and used my Windows XP machine with a Celeron and said "This is really fast! You must have paid a fortune for this!". | Jul 24 21:53 |
| DaemonFC | So, that kind of tells you how clueless people are. They get off their Mac and use a Windows system with a Celeron processor and think it's super fast. | Jul 24 21:53 |
| abeNd-org | ouch! | Jul 24 21:53 |
| DaemonFC | By the time Apple was done with the G4, they had been using it for so long that it was just totally embarrassing. | Jul 24 21:54 |
| DaemonFC | Celerons were beating the crap out of them. | Jul 24 21:54 |
| abeNd-org | I haven't used too many osx machines | Jul 24 21:54 |
| MinceR | :> | Jul 24 21:54 |
| abeNd-org | a customer's macbook here & there, but thats about it, apple's marketing hasnt convinced me to buy one for myself | Jul 24 21:57 |
| DaemonFC | If Windows keeps going where it's going, I may have to buy a Mac to boot Linux at some point. | Jul 24 22:00 |
| DaemonFC | I doubt Apple really cares much about booting Linux on a Mac because nobody really does it. | Jul 24 22:00 |
| abeNd-org | they will treat it like windows, poor power management, bad drivers, etc | Jul 24 22:01 |
| DaemonFC | I understand you can remove OS X completely. | Jul 24 22:02 |
| DaemonFC | I see people running Linux on a Mac sometimes. It seems to work. | Jul 24 22:02 |
| abeNd-org | right, but apple wont release source for any of the hardware on it, so linux will "work" on it, but not optimally | Jul 24 22:03 |
| MinceR | if mac os keeps going where it's going, buying a mac may not necessarily help you | Jul 24 22:04 |
| abeNd-org | im betting apple would rather you just buy an iphone & ipad | Jul 24 22:05 |
| abeNd-org | & nothing else | Jul 24 22:05 |
| abeNd-org | well, perhaps an iwatch | Jul 24 22:05 |
| MinceR | are their profit margins higher on all those? | Jul 24 22:05 |
| abeNd-org | i dont have the numbers in front of me on those, but I am guessing apple wouldnt be bothering with them if they werent making a mint per device, they dont sell for a loss like sony/microsoft did the consoles | Jul 24 22:06 |
| DaemonFC | Aside from the firmware, I think the Macs are really just PCs aren't they? | Jul 24 22:07 |
| DaemonFC | http://dilbert.com/dyn/str_strip/000000000/00000000/0000000/000000/00000/1000/400/1486/1486.strip.gif | Jul 24 22:07 |
| abeNd-org | yea, x64 intel | Jul 24 22:07 |
| abeNd-org | but even windows running on a macbook suffers from lack of optimized drivers | Jul 24 22:07 |
| MinceR | they're low quality pcs with some attempts at incompatibility | Jul 24 22:08 |
| DaemonFC | Apple wrote the drivers for Windows! | Jul 24 22:09 |
| DaemonFC | I doubt Linux has that problem. | Jul 24 22:09 |
| abeNd-org | id rather have a dell precision, you can stack a lot of nice stuff into those, 2 HD bays + optical, pcie ssd if you wanted, etc | Jul 24 22:09 |
| MinceR | :> | Jul 24 22:09 |
| MinceR | yeah, i guess even dell is better than apple | Jul 24 22:09 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, It depends on which Dell you buy. I tried to put some more RAM into a Dell that my grandmother paid WAY too much for, and when I pushed down on it, the retention clips broke off the socket and pinged around in the case. | Jul 24 22:10 |
| MinceR | lol | Jul 24 22:11 |
| abeNd-org | DaemonFC: thats the problem, apple doesnt do optimized drivers, so windows suffers. no source or binaries for the hardware in linux so im sure it suffers the same | Jul 24 22:17 |
| abeNd-org | DaemonFC: you are probably talking a vostro or inspiron, neither of which should exist, the latitude/precision arent bad for laptops, & i cant say anything to alienware as ive not used them | Jul 24 22:18 |
| MinceR | latitudes aren't that great either | Jul 24 22:18 |
| MinceR | but at least they aren't as bad as inspirons | Jul 24 22:18 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah, it was an old Inspicrap. | Jul 24 22:19 |
| abeNd-org | DaemonFC: yep, those are 100% junk | Jul 24 22:19 |
| abeNd-org | same as the dell poweredge "SC" line of servers, & for this channel I will call those Severely Crippled | Jul 24 22:19 |
| MinceR | also, their "warranty" isn't worth the paper it's printed on | Jul 24 22:19 |
| MinceR | wow, you got off the high horse? :> | Jul 24 22:20 |
| abeNd-org | MinceR: just for you this once | Jul 24 22:20 |

| MinceR | awkward... | Jul 24 22:20 |
| abeNd-org | yea, hard to hug text | Jul 24 22:20 |
| DaemonFC | The shittiest server is the Lenovo ThinkServer. | Jul 24 22:20 |
| abeNd-org | the business class dells I have had great luck with warranties, if you run the dell diags & it says something is wrong they replace it no questions asked (as they should) | Jul 24 22:22 |
| abeNd-org | warranty for vostro type units? wouldnt know, but I am betting you are correct | Jul 24 22:22 |
| MinceR | i tried my luck with an inspiron | Jul 24 22:23 |
| abeNd-org | you gambled & lost! | Jul 24 22:23 |
| MinceR | but i don't see why the model should affect so much of whether they care to deliver on their promises or not | Jul 24 22:23 |
| DaemonFC | There seems to be a lot of refurbished Dell and HP deals on Woot.com | Jul 24 22:24 |
| abeNd-org | that is the world of consumer vs business/industrial products | Jul 24 22:24 |
| DaemonFC | Probably a reason for that.... | Jul 24 22:24 |
| abeNd-org | the dell consumer products are made with whatever is cheapest that day | Jul 24 22:24 |
| DaemonFC | The Amazon reviews are pretty much all "I had it for three days and it wouldn't power on anymore.". | Jul 24 22:24 |
| DaemonFC | That sort of stuff. | Jul 24 22:24 |
| abeNd-org | the optiplexes are a standard set of specs made for 12-16 months for enterprise lifecycle | Jul 24 22:25 |
| abeNd-org | makes imaging, purchasing, etc easier | Jul 24 22:25 |

| MinceR | doesn't matter though | Jul 24 22:27 |
| MinceR | dHell had their chance, they said 'fuck you' to their customer, i'm not buying their crap again | Jul 24 22:28 |
| abeNd-org | MinceR: for consumer grade I cant really speak for their support, I only care about business class | Jul 24 22:28 |
| MinceR | maybe they're used to the typical hungarian consumer attitude | Jul 24 22:28 |
| MinceR | "sure, they fucked me, but at least it seemed cheap! :goes back for more hurting: " | Jul 24 22:28 |
| MinceR | no wonder the typical business treats their customers like shit | Jul 24 22:29 |
| abeNd-org | *shrug* perhaps their consumer support blows, but their business class support is great | Jul 24 22:29 |
| MinceR | well, i'm not going to experience their "business class support" | Jul 24 22:29 |
| abeNd-org | I'm not saying they should treat a vostro customer like shit, as they would develop the same attitude as you towards the entire company, to which I don't blame you | Jul 24 22:31 |

| DaemonFC | A good article. The author is right. It's going to take more than a cheap laptop that can barely run Windows at all to save Microsoft from the Chromebooks. | Jul 25 06:00 |
| DaemonFC | On top of the miserable low-end Windows laptop experience, you still need to fork over hundreds of dollars if you want to use MS Office, which is a real bloated bastard and might not even run on a system like this. | Jul 25 06:00 |
| DaemonFC | The computer will take ages to boot, thanks to a spinning platter hard drive. | Jul 25 06:00 |
| DaemonFC | You still need to run Windows antivirus software on top of all this. Have fun with that. | Jul 25 06:00 |

| DaemonFC | Just for the lulz. I'm surprised that so many people get away with using Microsoft Office, especially Excel. | Jul 25 19:47 |
| DaemonFC | Excel has hundreds of bugs, very few of them get fixed, some of them have been there for 10 years or more. It can swell up to use gigabytes of RAM. It has floating point rounding errors that produce bizarre and hilariously incorrect data..... | Jul 25 19:47 |
| DaemonFC | Then there was this.... | Jul 25 19:47 |

| DaemonFC | Even when people aren't running into the bugs, they often use it wrong, and produce disastrous results. | Jul 25 19:47 |
| DaemonFC | In order to get Microsoft compatibility, you have to reproduce all their bugs too, which is why you shouldn't use Microsoft Office export filters from LibreOffice, unless there's absolutely no other option. LibreOffice uses a more accurate arithmetic library, while Microsoft keeps shipping broken software. When you use Microsoft export filters, LibreOffice has to emulate problems with Microsoft Office, which could cause you some of the same | Jul 25 19:47 |
| DaemonFC | problems as using Microsoft Office in the first place. | Jul 25 19:47 |
| DaemonFC | Microsoft wants to convince everyone that you need a 'spensive Windoze computer to use 'spensive office software. Theirs, of course. I say, pass..... | Jul 25 19:47 |
| DaemonFC | Although I'm *told* that Microsoft supports OASIS OpenDocument 1.2 now in MS Office 2013, I'd be treading lightly, unless you want MS Office exporting its bugs into your ODF files! | Jul 25 19:47 |
| DaemonFC | I'm so glad that I don't have to use any of this company's software, ever. Why should Office be any different than anything else that has the Microsoft warning label on it? | Jul 25 19:47 |
| DaemonFC | How is this post related to the topic? Microsoft says that you need the crappy underpowered Windoze laptop so you can load MS Office on it. Tell me how that works out. Hint: Flipping it over and trying to max out the RAM later for almost as much as the laptop cost does not count. | Jul 25 19:47 |
| DaemonFC | Microsoft doesn't really have an operating system built for the cloud. They have one that's meant to run bulky locally-installed software that needs 'spensive hardware. | Jul 25 19:48 |
| DaemonFC | And a low-end Celeron with small amounts of RAM just isn't up to the task that Microsoft says you need their underpowered Windoze laptops for in the first place. | Jul 25 19:50 |

| DaemonFC | They all take outdated Android systems, and alter them in ways that make them incompatible with too many things out there. There are better alternatives to all of them on that point alone. | Jul 25 20:13 |
| DaemonFC | Slapping an Amazon logo on these pieces of junk doesn't make them better. | Jul 25 20:13 |

| DaemonFC | Well, you can't talk sense into some people. | Jul 25 20:13 |
| DaemonFC | I told people not to buy a Nokia X. I got a lot of abuse for that. One woman on Amazon said she got them for her whole family. | Jul 25 20:13 |
| DaemonFC | Microsoft officially bought Nokia, declared the Nokia X unsupported, and now the woman who told me that I needed to quit dissing Microsoft has a Nokia X, and so does her family. | Jul 25 20:13 |
| DaemonFC | You need to tread lightly when you're dealing with broken Android forks that use old versions of the AOSP and aren't Google Certified. Of course they're not entirely compatible. They're missing most of the APIs, or they include lame replacements that the distributor put in with no thought and no care. | Jul 25 20:13 |
| DaemonFC | Amazon's phone is also less secure, because you're missing Verify Apps and other defense mechanisms. So, don't go too far off the reservation and try to sideload apps. You can do that safely from a modern Real Android phone, but not from a Fire Phone. | Jul 25 20:13 |

| DaemonFC | Most people use Office and its associated applications because that's what they use at work. Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint. | Jul 25 20:25 |
| DaemonFC | Those who don't use whatever is easiest and cheapest to do what they need. | Jul 25 20:25 |
| DaemonFC | J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says: | Jul 25 20:25 |
| DaemonFC | That's the thing though. Microsoft Office is not easy to use, and neither is Windoze. Neither are stable or well supported. Neither are cheap. Neither of them run well on an affordable computer. | Jul 25 20:25 |
| DaemonFC | I think that Chrome OS and alternative office suites have more than one foothold here. If Microsoft simply dumps Windoze for "free" and tells OEMs to play ball and create awful computers just to get them down to $200, they still have all the other problems I listed. | Jul 25 20:25 |
| DaemonFC | Going back to ease of use... If Excel was easy to use, then those economists wouldn't have produced that report that sent everyone into a panic over the economy. | Jul 25 20:25 |

| DaemonFC | Linux would work fine on a $200 computer that I saw on special at Newegg the other day, and you can load LibreOffice on it too. | Jul 26 00:26 |
| DaemonFC | Like I said. Linux runs fine on computers where Windon't. The fact that Windows doesn't run well on low end computers never stops companies from selling low end computers with Windows on them. | Jul 26 00:26 |
| DaemonFC | The $200 PC I spoke of had a quad core 2 Ghz Haswell Celeron and 4 GB of RAM (with an empty slot, so you could pop in another 4 GB). It's not fancy, and for some reason, they bogged it down with Windows 8.1, but it's nothing a little hard drive formatting couldn't solve. The components bought separately would cost more than the PC did on sale, so a throwaway copy of Windows is just a minor annoyance. | Jul 26 00:26 |
| DaemonFC | I even remember some companies selling Windows XP on systems with only 128 MB of RAM. It barely ran at all. So, this special that I saw is the 2014 version of that. | Jul 26 00:27 |

| Aless88 | you have a business; | Jul 26 03:37 |
| Aless88 | person X sees that your business is growing; | Jul 26 03:38 |

| Aless88 | he then says you can no longer keep your business | Jul 26 03:39 |
| Aless88 | because it is in violation of the aforementioned patent | Jul 26 03:40 |

| DaemonFC | "A July 2012 review by NBC News of the $5,000 46" Bose TV noted that the video screen, produced by Samsung, resembles most closely a $750 flat panel television, and that the technology used is not up to par with other screens in the same category.

| schestowitz | The adoption of only ODF - and not also OOXML, as was urged by Microsoft - is most significant for the degree of market adoption and legitimization it will necessarily lead to. Unlike OOXML, which exists in several versions in the marketplace (and was not adopted even by Microsoft in the ISO/IEC approved "strict" form until years after its adoption by those organizations), ODF exists in more settled forms. Use of ODF-compliant | Jul 26 22:01 |
| schestowitz | software by tens of thousands of U.K. government workers will provide incentives to Microsoft to take greater pains to ensure that documents saved in ODF form will preserve their formatting with greater integrity, since many open source office suites (such as LibreOffice and OpenOffice) are available for free. | Jul 26 22:01 |

| DaemonFC | Linux still runs on all Macs. Even the Core Solo Mac Mini from 2006. | Jul 20 09:43 |
| DaemonFC | You don't have to wait for Apple to declare your hardware deprecated to upgrade to Linux though. Linux is for everybody. Your Mac will almost certainly even be faster than it was before after the upgrade.

| DaemonFC | Maybe I'll use Kindle when Amazon lets me save a file to my hard drive and open it up in Evince, without all this laggy encumbering Kindle garbage layered on top, so that you can't retain data that you paid for. | Jul 20 13:11 |

| DaemonFC | It still kicks some butt as far I I'm concerned. I still game on it. GNOME is fast and buttery smooth. Video playback is fantastic. Applications load at the snap of a finger. | Jul 20 14:38 |
| DaemonFC | I just wish people would ditch proprietary software that is designed to be treacherous and bloated, and to backstab their customer. | Jul 20 14:38 |

| DaemonFC | J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says: | Jul 20 14:38 |
| DaemonFC | The people running Amazon's Kindle store, and people who publish to it boil down to two kinds. | Jul 20 14:38 |

| DaemonFC | or | Jul 20 14:38 |
| DaemonFC | 2. They're bad people who are doing disgusting things. | Jul 20 14:38 |
| DaemonFC | I generally prefer to think that most of them are #1s, because then they're simply misguided and don't fully appreciate the harm that they are causing, vs. #2s, who are just bastards. | Jul 20 14:38 |
| DaemonFC | J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says: | Jul 20 14:58 |
| DaemonFC | Is there a list, somewhere, of all the books available without Digital Restrictions Malware, so I know who I can do business with just by looking at a particular page? | Jul 20 14:58 |
| DaemonFC | By the way, I'm obviously very serious here. If I wanted the book, there are easier ways. Since Amazon is stopping me from doing business with them, and acquiring it without DRM might involve something equally dishonest as a publisher that uses DRM in the first place, and two wrongs don't make a right, I suppose that I'll just have to go to the library and/or continue buying old fashioned books. | Jul 20 14:58 |

| DaemonFC | J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says: | Jul 21 12:30 |
| DaemonFC | It's not really my computer that is struggling if Amazon's software is just poorly designed. | Jul 21 12:30 |
| DaemonFC | Google Docs does way more than Amazon Cloud Reader does, but Google Docs runs fine. | Jul 21 12:30 |
| DaemonFC | You can always come up with software that is so poorly built that it doesn't run on a reasonably configured PC. | Jul 21 12:30 |
| DaemonFC | I'm not thrilled to still be using a PC that's 5 years old, save for a nice graphics card upgrade[1], but I don't really want to buy a new computer right at this very moment. I'm in kind of a holding pattern right now, trying to get more time out of what I'm using while hoping that someone comes and fixes the PC market mess with something that you can just buy and use. Windows and Mac are not what I'd call "usable". Sorry. | Jul 21 12:30 |
| DaemonFC | The two best outcomes that could save the PC are that Steam OS and/or Chrome OS pan out. I'll tell you my line of thinking on this. | Jul 21 12:30 |
| DaemonFC | Steam Machines will be real computers, not just a video game console. You can boot out of Steam OS, which is a thin "Just Enough" OS built on Linux, which will be a great thing, because you will get better performance than Windows can give you. 1. Linux performs better than Windows anyway in a side by side comparison running the native version of identical games right now. 2. A JEOS like Steam OS will run them even better because it throws | Jul 21 12:30 |
| DaemonFC | out all of the stuff you don't need for gaming. | Jul 21 12:31 |
| DaemonFC | Valve's CEO, Gabe Newell, promised that you can reboot the machine into any normal PC OS to get your "boring" stuff done, so if this pans out, I could have a badass gaming console, that can reboot into Fedora, and that's just cool! | Jul 21 12:31 |
| DaemonFC | On the other hand, we have Chrome OS, which is Chrome running in its own "JEOS" version of Linux, and since Chrome is a powerful development platform which is only going to get more powerful, I think it's not unreasonable to think that we're going to get Chrome PCs with lots of RAM, fast processors, and decent video cards at some point. | Jul 21 12:31 |
| DaemonFC | Either way, I do believe that Linux is the OS of the future. The surge of Chrome OS to the #1 desktop on Amazon and the #1 laptop on Amazon kind of tells me that Windows and Mac are quickly becoming legacy operating systems, whose only defenders are like Japanese soldiers on an island in 1945 that didn't hear about how badly the war is going. | Jul 21 12:31 |
| DaemonFC | [1] And a nice graphics card can save you from a "blah" CPU these days, but a terrible graphics chipset, like we find in Macs and Walmart PCs can never be compensated for by a good CPU, which makes it all the more puzzling as to why Apple insists on fast CPUs with brain damaged Intel graphics chipsets. Apple has always been hostile to video game publishers, like going out of its way to make sure that games don't run on the Mac. | Jul 21 12:31 |

| DaemonFC | And Apple's statement about running Halo on a budget PC was pretty funny, because it ran OK on a budget PC. I know because I had a budget PC and Halo. :P | Jul 21 13:04 |
| DaemonFC | It wasn't a particularly advanced game engine. It ran on the original XBOX for crying out loud. The PC version was better because the XBOX version had no networking capabilities. Apple probably used it as an example of what you could do on the PowerPC Mac because it was one of the only 3d games that you could actually buy for a Mac. Microsoft kept Bungie's promise that it would work on a Mac, but Mac users got it two months later than PC | Jul 21 13:04 |
| DaemonFC | users. | Jul 21 13:04 |
| DaemonFC | Probably the only reason I got away with running Halo on my crappy Compaq that I had at the time was because the development target *was* a Mac. I still remember how butthurt Mac fanboys were when Microsoft bought Bungie, which was the only video game company that I'm aware of that ever *tried* to produce a Mac exclusive. (Notice how Halo 2 only runs on a Mac if you reboot it into at least Windows Vista, or maybe Windows XP if you apply the | Jul 21 13:04 |
| DaemonFC | Halo 2 XP "patch", but that's unofficial, and YMMV. And even then, good luck, because they weren't aiming for your crappy Mac with this one.) | Jul 21 13:04 |
| DaemonFC | I don't know. It's been enough years since Halo 2 PC came out that Intel integrated video in a Mac might be on par with a mediocre video card from 2006 by now. Anyone? | Jul 21 13:04 |
| DaemonFC | Apple's "budget" Macs are really nothing to write home about. It's budget PC performance at mid-range PC prices. | Jul 21 13:08 |

| DaemonFC | Apple tries to keep people in the dark about their new products. The only way you know that a current model is about to be replaced by a newer one is when stores start running out of the older model. | Jul 21 14:15 |
| DaemonFC | Apple knows that when you announce a new product, that sales of the old version collapse, and they want to keep people paying full price for the old model all the way to the end. | Jul 21 14:16 |
| DaemonFC | It makes it difficult to plan an upgrade cycle when you don't even know when the new hardware will be out. | Jul 21 14:16 |
| Sosumi | lol, it was apple who kept the 2011 mac pro going for 3 years with no updates and no price decrease | Jul 21 14:20 |
| Sosumi | and the sole reason they stopped selling it was because intel was going to stop manufacturing nehalem and westmere cpus | Jul 21 14:20 |
| Sosumi | and then they released the trashcan pro | Jul 21 14:20 |
| DaemonFC | Right, so right now the Mac Mini is 165 days past the average time between releases. | Jul 21 14:20 |
| DaemonFC | It's the 2012 model, and it's still selling at full price. | Jul 21 14:21 |
| Sosumi | crapple :) | Jul 21 14:21 |
| DaemonFC | People who buy it will see that in a month or two, there will be a new model that's twice as fast for the same price. | Jul 21 14:21 |
| abeNd-org | heh | Jul 21 14:21 |
| abeNd-org | yes, but people keep buying it, otherwise apple wouldnt keep the price where it is at | Jul 21 14:21 |
| abeNd-org | blame the same people who think they have a cousin who is a nigerian king that has millions for them | Jul 21 14:22 |
| DaemonFC | Right, so you buy the 2012 model, and then the new model comes out with a CPU that's very nearly twice as fast, and maybe double the RAM and the same price. Who wouldn't feel stupid for that? | Jul 21 14:22 |
| abeNd-org | most apple consumers wouldnt know the difference | Jul 21 14:22 |
| DaemonFC | I know. The people who buy Apple in the first place. | Jul 21 14:22 |
| DaemonFC | Even they must visit Apple.com now and then and see Apple bragging about how fast the new model is compared with the old one. | Jul 21 14:23 |
| DaemonFC | Also, Apple cuts off support for old products as quickly as they can, so buying the current Mac Mini means that you're already two years into its "life cycle", which means that if you wait and get the next model, you should be able to expect an additional 1-2 OS upgrades vs. buying this one. | Jul 21 14:24 |
| DaemonFC | Once Apple cuts off OS X upgrades, the pool of available software goes into immediate decline because they also rip out the ability for developers to target unsupported versions of Mac OS from XCode right away. | Jul 21 14:25 |
| DaemonFC | So, it's even more uncomfortable than continuing to use Windows XP. | Jul 21 14:25 |
| DaemonFC | So, even though you still have hardware that would be capable of running an office suite or a web browser, you can't even get current versions of those. | Jul 21 14:26 |
| DaemonFC | I prefer for my PC to gracefully degrade. In other words, new software that actually needs new hardware might stop working, but software that doesn't won't. | Jul 21 14:26 |
| DaemonFC | Because most new software doesn't need particularly new hardware anyway. | Jul 21 14:26 |
| abeNd-org | i will have to say my work phone, an old 4s, came out with ios5 & is getting the ios8 update, so that is pretty good for a mobile device | Jul 21 14:27 |
| abeNd-org | none of the sammy phones get upgrades anything like that, perhaps 1 major rev if they are lucky | Jul 21 14:27 |
| DaemonFC | I heard that the iPhone 4 line won't get iOS 8. | Jul 21 14:28 |
| DaemonFC | Besides, you don't need a new version of Android to run most Android apps. | Jul 21 14:28 |
| DaemonFC | People with Gingerbread can still run many apps. | Jul 21 14:28 |
| abeNd-org | you are correct, but that was released back in june 2010, so 4yrs old is pretty long in tooth when it comes to mobile devices | Jul 21 14:29 |
| abeNd-org | actually, my wife had to junk her 2.3.x android phone because of the new google calendar app wouldnt work with it, & the old one wasnt syncing properly anymore, & she is a heavy calendar user | Jul 21 14:29 |
| DaemonFC | That brings me to my other point. | Jul 21 14:31 |
| DaemonFC | Respectable Android phones are getting cheaper. | Jul 21 14:31 |
| DaemonFC | The Android One thing aims for a decent $100 Android phone without any subsidies. | Jul 21 14:31 |
| abeNd-org | hers was a at one time top of the line motorola | Jul 21 14:32 |
| DaemonFC | So, the iPhone 5c will still be $549 while a "good enough" Android phone will only be $100. | Jul 21 14:32 |
| abeNd-org | that motorola had on their 4.x upgrade list for the longest, then cancelled | Jul 21 14:32 |
| abeNd-org | which made that the last moto product we were going to ever buy (sure other things might have moto chips or such, but not buying anything with moto branding) | Jul 21 14:33 |

| DaemonFC | "every new version of iOS is full of bugs" | Jul 21 19:51 |
| DaemonFC | Does it support Ogg Vorbis yet, or are users stuck with Apple's garbage AAC or (god help you) Nero's? | Jul 21 19:51 |
| DaemonFC | Apple and Nero managed to produce such low quality AAC encoders, that although AAC is theoretically as good as Vorbis, their implementations of AAC are often matched or outperformed by the lame MP3 encoder. | Jul 21 19:51 |
| DaemonFC | http://listening-tests.hydrogenaud.io/sebastian/mp3-128-1/results.htm | Jul 21 19:51 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-listening-tests.hydrogenaud.io | Results of the public MP3 listening test @ 128 kbps (October 2008) [ http://ur1.ca/hstpz ] | Jul 21 19:51 | |
| DaemonFC | If it comes down to a choice between Apple AAC or Lame MP3, use the Lame MP3 encoder. It produces files that will work everywhere, the quality is as good or better, and MP3 will be in the public domain in 2017, while MPEG-4 patents (like the ones describing AAC) won't finish expiring until the 2030s. Apple owns MPEG-4 patents and that's why it promotes AAC and fought to get open standard media codecs out of the HTML 5 specification. Apple | Jul 21 19:51 |
| DaemonFC | can't be trusted. The have conflicts of interest with what's good for the public. Like Microsoft, Apple's goal is to suck a tax stream out of innovative companies. Spotify rejected AAC and streams in Vorbis. Good for them! | Jul 21 19:51 |
| DaemonFC | If Vorbis is a choice, then forget both and use Vorbis. | Jul 21 19:51 |
| DaemonFC | I'd call missing Vorbis support a definite dealbreaker when choosing a portable media player. | Jul 21 19:51 |
| DaemonFC | On the topic of Apple's bogus iTunes "Plus" "upgrade", the only point of doubling the size of the files was to run your iThing out of space faster. | Jul 21 19:51 |
| DaemonFC | Only the kind of complete philistine that would do business with Apple, spend $300 on an MP3 player, and wear those crappy earbuds would think that they'd get any benefit from a doubling of bitrate. | Jul 21 19:51 |
| MinceR | do they have FLAC support already? | Jul 21 19:53 |
| abeNd-org | ive found amazon's drm free mp3 not horrible, & pretty cheap | Jul 21 19:57 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, ALAC. It produces files that are 8-11% bigger and.....well, that's about all it does. | Jul 21 20:01 |

| DaemonFC | I did notice something amusing a while back. It turns out that Apple actually deleted a lot of their old FoulPlay music from their iTunes server, so people who didn't pay for the "iTunes Plus upgrade", which replaced the FoulPlay file with a clean copy at twice the bitrate seem to be able to just delete the files from their computer and re-download them from iTunes, and most of the time, they appear to be getting the "iTunes Plus" file | Jul 22 18:25 |
| DaemonFC | without having to "upgrade" their library. | Jul 22 18:25 |
| DaemonFC | Using iTunes with or without DRM is still pretty silly, but for purely technical reasons related to the questionable quality of the AAC format, the huge files, etc. Vorbis is a better codec, there are no patents, and it uses the logical method of encoding the data, which is variable bitrate. | Jul 22 18:25 |
| DaemonFC | If you're already knee deep in iTunes, then at least deleting and re-downloading your FoulPlay files gives you a free upgrade path to the file you should have gotten in the first place. No DRM garbage. | Jul 22 18:31 |

| DaemonFC | J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says: | Jul 22 19:30 |
| DaemonFC | "I'll admit iTunes doesn't run well on Windows. Apple really needs to fix that." | Jul 22 19:30 |
| DaemonFC | They've had more than 10 years since I've used it on Windows and it still doesn't work well? Obviously, they don't intend to fix it, just like their stupid audio codec. | Jul 22 19:30 |
| DaemonFC | "And as for Vorbis, well, more like nobody has sued them yet about patents." | Jul 22 19:30 |
| DaemonFC | Steve Jobs made some nebulous and idle threats about a patent pool being formed to attack Vorbis with, but nothing ever came of that, and Vorbis is used in a lot of places now, including YouTube and Spotify. Android plays them. Lots of portable media players play Vorbis. So, people with deep pockets are using it. Why has nobody "gone after" them? | Jul 22 19:30 |
| DaemonFC | I allege that Jobs was just saying that to try to drive people away from unencumbered codecs and onto formats where they definitely will lose a lot of money to patent fees. Apple owns a lot of the patents, so it's obvious why they don't like the competition too much. Since he was a sociopath, con artist, and liar like Bill Gates is, that's highly likely. At least Jobs won't be doing any more nasty things. | Jul 22 19:30 |
| DaemonFC | "AAC is more than "good enough" unless you're an extreme audiophile." | Jul 22 19:30 |
| DaemonFC | I don't like AAC and the patents don't finish expiring until the 2030s. The Lame MP3 encoder produces higher quality out of MP3 than Apple or Nero get out of AAC, and MP3 patents all expire by 2017. If you have to use MPEG, use MP3. | Jul 22 19:30 |
| DaemonFC | I didn't say that MP3 or AAC was so bad that it would make my ears bleed or anything. | Jul 22 19:30 |
| DaemonFC | I just didn't see the point in using anything but the best (Vorbis) when all options were available to me, but AAC and MP3 had quality and legal issues, and Vorbis didn't (other than the aforementioned nebulous and idle threats from the corpse) and Vorbis works with all my favorite stuff. | Jul 22 19:30 |
| DaemonFC | I think it's amazing that I've never come across any particular sample where Ogg Vorbis had a noticeable failure case at a reasonable bitrate. The same cannot be said for other mainstream codecs. | Jul 22 19:30 |
| DaemonFC | It's probably why Spotify and Google went with Vorbis for their streaming needs. | Jul 22 19:30 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR should get a kick out of that. | Jul 22 19:31 |
| MinceR | well said | Jul 22 19:33 |
| MinceR | (though jobs can only no longer do nasty things if he's already completely decomposed) | Jul 22 19:33 |
| DaemonFC | J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says: | Jul 22 19:51 |
| DaemonFC | Also, codecs like Vorbis follow the general consensus in the open source community that following the standard is only desirable when the standard is good and implementing it will be of more benefit to the user than replacing it. | Jul 22 19:51 |
| DaemonFC | When following the standard will create more problems for a user than not following the standard, you can deviate from the standard as far as compatibility concerns will let you go, or you can just create a new standard. | Jul 22 19:51 |
| DaemonFC | It quickly became obvious, in digital video and audio, that all of the proprietary options were unusable on the open web for a combination of legal and quality problems, and so codecs like VP8 and Vorbis was created as the new standards. | Jul 22 19:51 |
| DaemonFC | I'd say they're the only real standards, because they're the only ones that you have an absolute right to implement and use anywhere, without the MPEG-LA patent trolls hunting you down and sucking out your blood. | Jul 22 19:51 |
| DaemonFC | Fattening themselves up like a tick. | Jul 22 19:51 |
| DaemonFC | The MPEG-LA patent trolls have deferred their right to collect "royalties" for a few years to try to make MPEG-4 codecs more palatable for web streaming use, but their deferral will expire, and anyone foolish enough to be using them will be on the hook owing so much money that their business might not even be profitable enough to continue. Those that continue will just have to pass the added costs along to the customers. | Jul 22 19:51 |
| DaemonFC | Open codecs like VP8 and Vorbis appear to have gone the right way, and route around the patents or wait them out. If we starve the MPEG-LA beast, then soon it will not be able to hurt anyone and parasite off of productive businesses. | Jul 22 19:51 |

| abeNd-org | ok, so say ms goes out of business tomorrow, what of companies that actually rely on ms or ms-based products that there is no opensource/floss/etc alternative? | Jul 22 21:38 |
| MinceR | they'll do what they do when m$ EOLs a product they used, for a while | Jul 22 21:40 |
| MinceR | and then they'll move on to something else | Jul 22 21:41 |
| abeNd-org | so why arent companies making linux based (server & client) software more often then? does it not get enough usage & then get dropped as a product | Jul 22 21:43 |
| MinceR | perhaps because they believe people like you | Jul 22 21:43 |
| abeNd-org | i remember HP had webjetadmin as a linux & windows based server product, then they dropped linux because there was, according to them, no one using it so they went windows only on it | Jul 22 21:43 |
| abeNd-org | not sure what you are getting at "with me", as I said I have plenty of linux servers doing things at customers, windows runs where there is no viable linux alternative | Jul 22 21:44 |
| MinceR | i suspect such products will get more use as the network effects that favor m$ fade | Jul 22 21:45 |
| abeNd-org | i gave you a list of a bunch of software & asked you for alternatives, you just spewed kiddie version names at me instead of anything usable | Jul 22 21:46 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-torrentfreak.com | Adobe Says Piracy is Down, But Photoshop Still Rules Pirate Bay | TorrentFreak [ http://ur1.ca/ht5aj ] | Jul 22 22:09 | |
| DaemonFC | I think it's a good thing that Adobe is clamping down on pirated copies of Photoshop. | Jul 22 22:09 |
| tessier | abeNd-org: MS won't go out of business for a long time. Like IBM they will slowly whither away over the course of decades. If MS were to disappear tomorrow the software would still continue to exist. So no problem. | Jul 22 22:10 |
| DaemonFC | Since most Photoshop users are pirates, that means that the CS6 version is effectively cracked forever and most of them will just keep using that instead. As Wine progresses, it will eventually run CS6 perfectly. | Jul 22 22:10 |
| DaemonFC | It's already close. So the pirates can just take their CS6 and stick it into Wine, and there goes another reason to use Windows. | Jul 22 22:10 |
| tessier | And yes, the networks effects of MS and their incompatible protocols etc. have taken a terrible toll on the industry. That will begin to resolve, open standards will evolve, and Linux and others will get more support. | Jul 22 22:11 |
| DaemonFC | That also effectively stops development on a proprietary program, for most users, so as CS6 rots and Gimp and others are still in development, the eventual outcome could be that many of them ditch CS6 and move to an open source alternative eventually. | Jul 22 22:11 |
| DaemonFC | Microsoft never really cracks down on piracy, because Linux desktop usage would go double digits overnight if 40-some% of Windows/Office users were told to cough up $500 right away to keep using their computer. | Jul 22 22:13 |
| DaemonFC | I think that Adobe is about to learn a painful lesson that the pirates using their software were actually promoting the software as a de facto standard, and making it harder for other people to avoid as well. | Jul 22 22:14 |
| DaemonFC | Also, open source development happens more when there isn't a good enough proprietary program that's affordable and widely available. | Jul 22 22:14 |
| abeNd-org | like the SIP2 compliant library ILS i love, evergreen, linux backend with windows/linux clients, however there still is no linux/windows/osx client with windows/linux server side patron management system, so libraries still end up needing a windows server | Jul 22 22:17 |
| abeNd-org | all i was asking MinceR for was an alternative (to that & other ms-based server side products), not baby name calling | Jul 22 22:18 |
| abeNd-org | & I find it rather insulting to be called a microsoft drone | Jul 22 22:21 |

| DaemonFC | MinceR, That article is funny. | Jul 23 07:02 |
| DaemonFC | The United States and socialism? Not really. | Jul 23 07:02 |
| DaemonFC | They're sneaking off with pensions, for example. | Jul 23 07:03 |
| DaemonFC | "'I can't find anything. Prices are climbing daily,' said Jesus Ramirez, a taxi driver who has spent a year trying to replace the 2008 Renault he purchased new for $7,441. He sold the car for over $30,000 five years later." | Jul 23 07:05 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, Things must be getting bad if Jesus is driving a taxi in Venezuela. | Jul 23 07:06 |
| DaemonFC | B-) | Jul 23 07:06 |
| DaemonFC | "This is the point I just can not understand. There are many much better investments to make to protect money than buying cars that depreciate." | Jul 23 07:08 |
| DaemonFC | Actually, the price for new cars in the United States has gotten so ridiculously high that a used car that would have sold for $2,000 in 2005 is still selling for about $2,000 now. | Jul 23 07:09 |
| DaemonFC | I guess you could make the case that it's $2,000 in 2014, not 2005, but I've never seen this happen before. | Jul 23 07:10 |

| DaemonFC | I deliberately avoided Samsung's Chromebooks because they run on ARM hardware and it's hard to find a mainstream Linux OS that has official support for those models. The Mali graphics processor, in particular, that comes on ARM hardware, is totally undocumented and a real nasty piece of work. The Intel HD video in the Intel models is supported by a driver that Intel wrote, so you even have full 3d acceleration support. | Jul 23 22:04 |
| DaemonFC | There was a respin of Fedora 19 that ran on the Samsung Chromebook, but not one for Fedora 20, so Fedora won't boot at all on the Samsung Chromebook 2. | Jul 23 22:04 |

| DaemonFC | J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says: | Jul 24 00:56 |
| DaemonFC | Apple is in the process of locking down the Mac with the same software installation restrictions that they pioneered on the App Store. | Jul 24 00:56 |
| DaemonFC | Soon enough, you'll be unable to turn off Gatekeeper (already on by default, I understand), and then they'll say it's because of "security" and you won't have any freedom on your Mac computer either. | Jul 24 00:56 |
| DaemonFC | Apple pioneered nasty anti-user restrictions by convincing users that they didn't need their freedom when you called the computer a phone or a tablet. They'll backport this godawful system to the Mac. It's already well underway. | Jul 24 00:56 |
| DaemonFC | Microsoft wants the same thing, but they're backing away because developers hate the app store revenue stealing model of Microsoft's Windows Store (which would also raise software prices by over 30% if they could force it onto the developers), and are not publishing their work there. Users hate Windows Modern anyway, and go to the desktop to use Win32 apps. | Jul 24 00:56 |
| DaemonFC | Some people wonder why I will use literally ANYTHING but Windows or Mac, and this kind of crap is part of the reason why. I don't like manipulation, and I don't like bullies. I also hate crap software in general. | Jul 24 00:56 |

| DaemonFC | Legal alternative to piracy, my ass.... Has anyone _looked_ at the shit on Netflix lately? They say something like "Your favorite show is now on Netflix!", so you look and it's like one season from four years ago. | Jul 24 03:39 |
| DaemonFC | Amazon has another service now. $9.99 a month for unlimited books (through Swindle). It's already just like Netflix. The five biggest publishers, who control probably 90% of what people want to read aren't having any of it, so it's utter crap right out of the gate anyway. | Jul 24 03:39 |

| DaemonFC | "There are plenty of trojans hiding in pirated Mac software. Mac users pirate software like Windows users do, because a lot of what they want is proprietary and expensive. They go so far as to ignore the fact that software like LibreOffice doesn't cost a dime and there's no activation system to crack. | Jul 24 05:30 |
| DaemonFC | If you avoid Microsoft Office and head straight for LibreOffice, you avoid the malware. Even better, you avoid Microsoft Office. Even if Microsoft Office was free of charge, it would still be a bad idea to use it, because it would still be proprietary software that spits out Microsoft Office documents. Even though other software can deal with those files most of the time, it's not nice to spew them. Unfortunately, for people who think they | Jul 24 05:30 |

Then one of their files malfunctioned in a newer Linux release, and I had to figure out which one it was and delete that copy of the library so it got the system copy. Stupid stupid people..... | Jul 24 08:59 |
| DaemonFC | But that's proprietary software for you. Stumbling along and hiding incompetence and bugs. Sometimes, calling proprietary software developers incompetent is high praise. | Jul 24 08:59 |
| DaemonFC | Google did Chrome up with a bunch of back asswards Windoze developers and then had to go back and fix pretty much everything later. | Jul 24 09:00 |

| DaemonFC | Oh, I actually kind of like Chrome now, but it took them a while. | Jul 24 09:04 |
| DaemonFC | I am glad that they've made a market for low cost computers that you can just buy and immediately use. | Jul 24 09:04 |
| DaemonFC | At least someone is cleaning up all this Windows mess. | Jul 24 09:05 |
| DaemonFC | I'd like to see Microsoft routed even if they are largely replaced by Google. | Jul 24 09:05 |
| MinceR | that could end up very ugly too | Jul 24 09:06 |
| MinceR | imagine a world where general-purpose computers are illegal unless you have a developer license with the government, and then you have to accept extra-heavy monitoring | Jul 24 09:06 |
| DaemonFC | I think Google has the right idea here. They didn't start with Chrome OS on anything fancy. Just start eating away at Windows on the low end with machines that can do most of what a desktop user is likely to do anyway. | Jul 24 09:06 |
| MinceR | and everyone else is closely watched through the cloud | Jul 24 09:06 |
| MinceR | which is mandatory for them | Jul 24 09:06 |
| DaemonFC | Google isn't exactly stopping you from booting a real Linux distribution on those things, and they're cheap as hell. :P | Jul 24 09:07 |
| DaemonFC | At one point, Microsoft was selling netbooks with Windows CE. They painted it up to look kind of like Windows XP. People got them and found out that they'd been had, and returned them. | Jul 24 09:08 |
| DaemonFC | They were available on Newegg for a while for $29, just trying to get rid of all the returns. | Jul 24 09:09 |
| DaemonFC | I thought that was pretty funny. | Jul 24 09:09 |

| DaemonFC | "You know, that with all the apps and computers that Apple breaks, you'd wonder how the people who go insane and buy a Mac actually get anything done at all. Software with no active development just dies every few years, and software that is developed has an expensive new version. When Apple finally breaks your entire computer, the only way to get it running modern software again is to upgrade you Mac to Linux. | Jul 24 16:52 |
| DaemonFC | Apple users should be glad that they have access to open source software. Of course, even then, developers can't support your Mac that got dropped and broken by Apple because of bugs and problems that exist in the Mac hardware because Apple rushed a broken product to market (like the first x86 models), or because Apple just wants to sell you new stuff every few years. As soon as you can't run the latest Mac OS, the death watch begins, at | Jul 24 16:52 |
| DaemonFC | least as far as OS X software goes. | Jul 24 16:52 |
| DaemonFC | I understand that with Mavericks and Yosemite, Apple dropped support entirely for a lot of Macs that aren't really even that old. Luckily, Linux will support my non-Mac computer for as long as I'll use it. Part of the reason I didn't buy a Mac was because I knew that this **** would happen and Apple would just drop it when Linux would keep my computer running for all practical purposes for at least twice as long. | Jul 24 16:52 |
| DaemonFC | I suppose there might be some kind of hack to shove Mac OS 10.8 and 10.9 on your "old" 2008 computer anyway, like there was when Apple declared that OS X 10.4 wouldn't run on any Mac without Firewire, but why should anyone have to resort to this on hardware that has no honest reason for being deprecated? | Jul 24 16:52 |
| DaemonFC | There's no legitimate reason to drop a 2008 computer. Things shouldn't have changed so much that it's some kind of a horrible maintenance burden, unless you ****ed everything up real good to get it released faster, like Apple does." | Jul 24 16:52 |

| MinceR | consider yourself lucky if they'll be able to tell the time reliably | Jul 24 18:57 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, I don't know about the cheap part. I saw a PC the other day for $200 that even threw in a keyboard and a mouse. It wasn't an i5 or i7, but you don't exactly need one when you can't install a video card alongside it to balance the system out on the Mac anyway. | Jul 24 18:58 |
| MinceR | i mean relatively | Jul 24 18:58 |
| DaemonFC | With the Intel integrated video you're stuck with on the Mac, your i7 is going to be a slow-ass bastard anyway. | Jul 24 18:59 |
| DaemonFC | Even at $800. | Jul 24 18:59 |
| MinceR | a slow ass-bastard! | Jul 24 18:59 |
| DaemonFC | It could be worse. Microsoft could make a Windows watch that can't deal with leap year and crashes, like the Zune did. | Jul 24 19:01 |
| MinceR | crApple can do that too | Jul 24 19:01 |
| MinceR | they have the technology! | Jul 24 19:01 |
| DaemonFC | Those damned ass-bastards! | Jul 24 19:08 |
| DaemonFC | can't even make a real computer.... | Jul 24 19:08 |
| DaemonFC | I turned all this into an Amazon post, MinceR | Jul 24 19:10 |
| MinceR | :> | Jul 24 19:11 |
| DaemonFC | I wonder if they'll flip their shit again and start downvoting me. I give them about a minute. | Jul 24 19:11 |
| DaemonFC | I bought a *snort*....I bought a *chortles*....I bought a BAHAHAHHAHAAAA!!! Mac today. Shit. I'm a horrible liar. ;) | Jul 24 19:13 |
| DaemonFC | So you all can add that to the list of things you'll *_never_* hear me say. | Jul 24 19:20 |
| DaemonFC | If you do, then kill me because the Pod people have cloned me, and I'm an impostor. | Jul 24 19:20 |
| MinceR | :> | Jul 24 19:21 |
| DaemonFC | As much contempt as I have for Windoze, at least it works sometimes. The Mac really doesn't. If I can't run my existing assortment of software for more than a few years before Apple breaks everything again, then what the hell is the point of having an operating system? | Jul 24 19:23 |
| DaemonFC | I ran into someone the other day that was still using a Pentium 3 computer that he bought in 1999. You'll never see a Mac in service for 15 years. | Jul 24 19:24 |
| DaemonFC | You'll never see Mac software in service for 15 years, for that matter. You buy a new Mac or upgrade the OS, and most of it all breaks again. | Jul 24 19:25 |
| DaemonFC | Just out of curiosity, I asked him why he was still using a PC from 1999, and he told me that he was unemployed and couldn't afford an investment in newer hardware right at the moment, and his 1999 PC was running fine with a minimal Linux system anyway, so it wasn't an immediate problem. | Jul 24 19:27 |
| DaemonFC | Many Mac owners have to replace their system every three years anyway, so they've trashed about 5 computers, going on 6, and all the software that goes with that. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting it to all work better this time. | Jul 24 19:29 |

| abeNd-org | DaemonFC: those mac owners are rich enough that they could care less, they would rather have the social "prestige" of having the newest/latest/greatest | Jul 24 20:44 |
| DaemonFC | Then what on Earth could they possibly be doing with a Mac? | Jul 24 20:46 |
| abeNd-org | "they" think the latest macbook will give them a higher social standing, same thing with the latest iphone | Jul 24 20:46 |
| abeNd-org | and if it costs more, it must be better | Jul 24 20:47 |
| abeNd-org | a "poor" person (unless they are putting themselves into debt to do it) wont be buying a new macbook every yr | Jul 24 20:49 |
| MinceR | some people take out a loan so they can buy a hypePhone | Jul 24 20:50 |
| abeNd-org | MinceR: yea, not the smartest thing to do for sure | Jul 24 20:51 |
| abeNd-org | i have an old 4s, bought for me by my workplace, & if i want an upgrade I'll have to pay for it....I'll pass | Jul 24 20:51 |
| DaemonFC | abeNd-org, Yeah. I remember 10 years ago, there was this college guy that I was fooling around with for a while who had a PowerMac G4. His parents bought it for him and he was all like "My Mac is so awesome.". So he was over at my house one day and used my Windows XP machine with a Celeron and said "This is really fast! You must have paid a fortune for this!". | Jul 24 20:54 |
| DaemonFC | So, that kind of tells you how clueless people are. They get off their Mac and use a Windows system with a Celeron processor and think it's super fast. | Jul 24 20:54 |
| abeNd-org | ouch! | Jul 24 20:54 |
| DaemonFC | By the time Apple was done with the G4, they had been using it for so long that it was just totally embarrassing. | Jul 24 20:55 |
| DaemonFC | Celerons were beating the crap out of them. | Jul 24 20:55 |
| abeNd-org | I haven't used too many osx machines | Jul 24 20:55 |
| MinceR | :> | Jul 24 20:55 |
| abeNd-org | a customer's macbook here & there, but thats about it, apple's marketing hasnt convinced me to buy one for myself | Jul 24 20:58 |
| DaemonFC | If Windows keeps going where it's going, I may have to buy a Mac to boot Linux at some point. | Jul 24 21:01 |
| DaemonFC | I doubt Apple really cares much about booting Linux on a Mac because nobody really does it. | Jul 24 21:01 |
| abeNd-org | they will treat it like windows, poor power management, bad drivers, etc | Jul 24 21:02 |
| DaemonFC | I understand you can remove OS X completely. | Jul 24 21:03 |
| DaemonFC | I see people running Linux on a Mac sometimes. It seems to work. | Jul 24 21:04 |
| abeNd-org | right, but apple wont release source for any of the hardware on it, so linux will "work" on it, but not optimally | Jul 24 21:04 |
| MinceR | if mac os keeps going where it's going, buying a mac may not necessarily help you | Jul 24 21:05 |
| abeNd-org | im betting apple would rather you just buy an iphone & ipad | Jul 24 21:06 |
| abeNd-org | & nothing else | Jul 24 21:06 |
| abeNd-org | well, perhaps an iwatch | Jul 24 21:06 |
| MinceR | are their profit margins higher on all those? | Jul 24 21:06 |
| abeNd-org | i dont have the numbers in front of me on those, but I am guessing apple wouldnt be bothering with them if they werent making a mint per device, they dont sell for a loss like sony/microsoft did the consoles | Jul 24 21:07 |
| DaemonFC | Aside from the firmware, I think the Macs are really just PCs aren't they? | Jul 24 21:08 |
| DaemonFC | http://dilbert.com/dyn/str_strip/000000000/00000000/0000000/000000/00000/1000/400/1486/1486.strip.gif | Jul 24 21:08 |
| abeNd-org | yea, x64 intel | Jul 24 21:08 |
| abeNd-org | but even windows running on a macbook suffers from lack of optimized drivers | Jul 24 21:08 |
| MinceR | they're low quality pcs with some attempts at incompatibility | Jul 24 21:09 |
| DaemonFC | Apple wrote the drivers for Windows! | Jul 24 21:10 |
| DaemonFC | I doubt Linux has that problem. | Jul 24 21:10 |
| abeNd-org | id rather have a dell precision, you can stack a lot of nice stuff into those, 2 HD bays + optical, pcie ssd if you wanted, etc | Jul 24 21:10 |
| MinceR | :> | Jul 24 21:10 |
| MinceR | yeah, i guess even dell is better than apple | Jul 24 21:10 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, It depends on which Dell you buy. I tried to put some more RAM into a Dell that my grandmother paid WAY too much for, and when I pushed down on it, the retention clips broke off the socket and pinged around in the case. | Jul 24 21:12 |
| MinceR | lol | Jul 24 21:12 |
| abeNd-org | DaemonFC: thats the problem, apple doesnt do optimized drivers, so windows suffers. no source or binaries for the hardware in linux so im sure it suffers the same | Jul 24 21:18 |
| abeNd-org | DaemonFC: you are probably talking a vostro or inspiron, neither of which should exist, the latitude/precision arent bad for laptops, & i cant say anything to alienware as ive not used them | Jul 24 21:19 |
| MinceR | latitudes aren't that great either | Jul 24 21:19 |
| MinceR | but at least they aren't as bad as inspirons | Jul 24 21:19 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah, it was an old Inspicrap. | Jul 24 21:20 |
| abeNd-org | DaemonFC: yep, those are 100% junk | Jul 24 21:20 |
| abeNd-org | same as the dell poweredge "SC" line of servers, & for this channel I will call those Severely Crippled | Jul 24 21:20 |
| MinceR | also, their "warranty" isn't worth the paper it's printed on | Jul 24 21:20 |
| MinceR | wow, you got off the high horse? :> | Jul 24 21:21 |
| abeNd-org | MinceR: just for you this once | Jul 24 21:21 |
| *abeNd-org hugs MinceR | Jul 24 21:21 | |
| MinceR | awkward... | Jul 24 21:21 |
| abeNd-org | yea, hard to hug text | Jul 24 21:21 |
| DaemonFC | The shittiest server is the Lenovo ThinkServer. | Jul 24 21:21 |
| abeNd-org | the business class dells I have had great luck with warranties, if you run the dell diags & it says something is wrong they replace it no questions asked (as they should) | Jul 24 21:23 |
| abeNd-org | warranty for vostro type units? wouldnt know, but I am betting you are correct | Jul 24 21:24 |
| MinceR | i tried my luck with an inspiron | Jul 24 21:24 |
| abeNd-org | you gambled & lost! | Jul 24 21:24 |
| MinceR | but i don't see why the model should affect so much of whether they care to deliver on their promises or not | Jul 24 21:24 |
| DaemonFC | There seems to be a lot of refurbished Dell and HP deals on Woot.com | Jul 24 21:25 |
| abeNd-org | that is the world of consumer vs business/industrial products | Jul 24 21:25 |
| DaemonFC | Probably a reason for that.... | Jul 24 21:25 |
| abeNd-org | the dell consumer products are made with whatever is cheapest that day | Jul 24 21:25 |
| DaemonFC | The Amazon reviews are pretty much all "I had it for three days and it wouldn't power on anymore.". | Jul 24 21:25 |
| DaemonFC | That sort of stuff. | Jul 24 21:25 |
| abeNd-org | the optiplexes are a standard set of specs made for 12-16 months for enterprise lifecycle | Jul 24 21:26 |
| abeNd-org | makes imaging, purchasing, etc easier | Jul 24 21:26 |

| DaemonFC | And really - who cares what you are saying with your Linux buddies on IRC? It's not like you were talking to anyone who had anything but a mirror of your positions. | Jul 24 21:28 |

| MinceR | doesn't matter though | Jul 24 21:28 |
| MinceR | dHell had their chance, they said 'fuck you' to their customer, i'm not buying their crap again | Jul 24 21:29 |
| abeNd-org | MinceR: for consumer grade I cant really speak for their support, I only care about business class | Jul 24 21:29 |
| MinceR | maybe they're used to the typical hungarian consumer attitude | Jul 24 21:29 |
| MinceR | "sure, they fucked me, but at least it seemed cheap! :goes back for more hurting: " | Jul 24 21:29 |
| MinceR | no wonder the typical business treats their customers like shit | Jul 24 21:30 |
| abeNd-org | *shrug* perhaps their consumer support blows, but their business class support is great | Jul 24 21:30 |
| MinceR | well, i'm not going to experience their "business class support" | Jul 24 21:30 |
| abeNd-org | I'm not saying they should treat a vostro customer like shit, as they would develop the same attitude as you towards the entire company, to which I don't blame you | Jul 24 21:32 |

| DaemonFC | A good article. The author is right. It's going to take more than a cheap laptop that can barely run Windows at all to save Microsoft from the Chromebooks. | Jul 25 05:01 |
| DaemonFC | On top of the miserable low-end Windows laptop experience, you still need to fork over hundreds of dollars if you want to use MS Office, which is a real bloated bastard and might not even run on a system like this. | Jul 25 05:01 |
| DaemonFC | The computer will take ages to boot, thanks to a spinning platter hard drive. | Jul 25 05:01 |
| DaemonFC | You still need to run Windows antivirus software on top of all this. Have fun with that. | Jul 25 05:01 |

| DaemonFC | Just for the lulz. I'm surprised that so many people get away with using Microsoft Office, especially Excel. | Jul 25 18:48 |
| DaemonFC | Excel has hundreds of bugs, very few of them get fixed, some of them have been there for 10 years or more. It can swell up to use gigabytes of RAM. It has floating point rounding errors that produce bizarre and hilariously incorrect data..... | Jul 25 18:48 |

| DaemonFC | Even when people aren't running into the bugs, they often use it wrong, and produce disastrous results. | Jul 25 18:48 |
| DaemonFC | In order to get Microsoft compatibility, you have to reproduce all their bugs too, which is why you shouldn't use Microsoft Office export filters from LibreOffice, unless there's absolutely no other option. LibreOffice uses a more accurate arithmetic library, while Microsoft keeps shipping broken software. When you use Microsoft export filters, LibreOffice has to emulate problems with Microsoft Office, which could cause you some of the same | Jul 25 18:48 |
| DaemonFC | problems as using Microsoft Office in the first place. | Jul 25 18:48 |
| DaemonFC | Microsoft wants to convince everyone that you need a 'spensive Windoze computer to use 'spensive office software. Theirs, of course. I say, pass..... | Jul 25 18:48 |
| DaemonFC | Although I'm *told* that Microsoft supports OASIS OpenDocument 1.2 now in MS Office 2013, I'd be treading lightly, unless you want MS Office exporting its bugs into your ODF files! | Jul 25 18:48 |
| DaemonFC | I'm so glad that I don't have to use any of this company's software, ever. Why should Office be any different than anything else that has the Microsoft warning label on it? | Jul 25 18:49 |
| DaemonFC | How is this post related to the topic? Microsoft says that you need the crappy underpowered Windoze laptop so you can load MS Office on it. Tell me how that works out. Hint: Flipping it over and trying to max out the RAM later for almost as much as the laptop cost does not count. | Jul 25 18:49 |
| DaemonFC | Microsoft doesn't really have an operating system built for the cloud. They have one that's meant to run bulky locally-installed software that needs 'spensive hardware. | Jul 25 18:49 |
| DaemonFC | And a low-end Celeron with small amounts of RAM just isn't up to the task that Microsoft says you need their underpowered Windoze laptops for in the first place. | Jul 25 18:51 |

| DaemonFC | They all take outdated Android systems, and alter them in ways that make them incompatible with too many things out there. There are better alternatives to all of them on that point alone. | Jul 25 19:14 |
| DaemonFC | Slapping an Amazon logo on these pieces of junk doesn't make them better. | Jul 25 19:14 |
| DaemonFC | J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says: | Jul 25 19:14 |
| DaemonFC | Well, you can't talk sense into some people. | Jul 25 19:14 |
| DaemonFC | I told people not to buy a Nokia X. I got a lot of abuse for that. One woman on Amazon said she got them for her whole family. | Jul 25 19:14 |
| DaemonFC | Microsoft officially bought Nokia, declared the Nokia X unsupported, and now the woman who told me that I needed to quit dissing Microsoft has a Nokia X, and so does her family. | Jul 25 19:14 |
| DaemonFC | You need to tread lightly when you're dealing with broken Android forks that use old versions of the AOSP and aren't Google Certified. Of course they're not entirely compatible. They're missing most of the APIs, or they include lame replacements that the distributor put in with no thought and no care. | Jul 25 19:14 |
| DaemonFC | Amazon's phone is also less secure, because you're missing Verify Apps and other defense mechanisms. So, don't go too far off the reservation and try to sideload apps. You can do that safely from a modern Real Android phone, but not from a Fire Phone. | Jul 25 19:14 |
| DaemonFC | Here there be dragons! | Jul 25 19:14 |
| MinceR | at least older versions of android have less of the idiotic restrictions google keeps adding :> | Jul 25 19:18 |
| DaemonFC | J. S. Cooper says: | Jul 25 19:26 |
| DaemonFC | Most people use Office and its associated applications because that's what they use at work. Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint. | Jul 25 19:26 |
| DaemonFC | Those who don't use whatever is easiest and cheapest to do what they need. | Jul 25 19:26 |

| DaemonFC | That's the thing though. Microsoft Office is not easy to use, and neither is Windoze. Neither are stable or well supported. Neither are cheap. Neither of them run well on an affordable computer. | Jul 25 19:26 |
| DaemonFC | I think that Chrome OS and alternative office suites have more than one foothold here. If Microsoft simply dumps Windoze for "free" and tells OEMs to play ball and create awful computers just to get them down to $200, they still have all the other problems I listed. | Jul 25 19:26 |
| DaemonFC | Going back to ease of use... If Excel was easy to use, then those economists wouldn't have produced that report that sent everyone into a panic over the economy. | Jul 25 19:26 |

| DaemonFC | Linux would work fine on a $200 computer that I saw on special at Newegg the other day, and you can load LibreOffice on it too. | Jul 25 23:28 |
| DaemonFC | Like I said. Linux runs fine on computers where Windon't. The fact that Windows doesn't run well on low end computers never stops companies from selling low end computers with Windows on them. | Jul 25 23:28 |
| DaemonFC | The $200 PC I spoke of had a quad core 2 Ghz Haswell Celeron and 4 GB of RAM (with an empty slot, so you could pop in another 4 GB). It's not fancy, and for some reason, they bogged it down with Windows 8.1, but it's nothing a little hard drive formatting couldn't solve. The components bought separately would cost more than the PC did on sale, so a throwaway copy of Windows is just a minor annoyance. | Jul 25 23:28 |
| DaemonFC | I even remember some companies selling Windows XP on systems with only 128 MB of RAM. It barely ran at all. So, this special that I saw is the 2014 version of that. | Jul 25 23:28 |

| Aless88 | let us just discuss the following situation: | Jul 26 02:38 |
| Aless88 | you have a business; | Jul 26 02:39 |
| Aless88 | person X sees that your business is growing; | Jul 26 02:39 |
| Aless88 | the same person files an application for a patent | Jul 26 02:39 |
| Aless88 | the patent is about the idea your business revolves around | Jul 26 02:40 |
| Aless88 | his application gets approved and he holds that patent | Jul 26 02:40 |
| Aless88 | he then says you can no longer keep your business | Jul 26 02:41 |
| Aless88 | because it is in violation of the aforementioned patent | Jul 26 02:41 |
| Aless88 | can you defend yourself against this? | Jul 26 02:41 |
| Aless88 | is this even possible? | Jul 26 02:41 |
| Aless88 | and any sources/literature about patents would be greatly appreciated | Jul 26 02:42 |

| DaemonFC | "A July 2012 review by NBC News of the $5,000 46" Bose TV noted that the video screen, produced by Samsung, resembles most closely a $750 flat panel television, and that the technology used is not up to par with other screens in the same category. The review then questions the value of the additional $4,260 cost for the Bose TV, suggesting there are compelling audio alternatives for less than 1/5th the price difference." | Jul 26 08:33 |

| DaemonFC | "I have a feeling that when you try to install OS X "Mavericks" on your pre-2007 Mac and find that Apple has deprecated something that you still might use every day, they're not going to help you do anything other than buy an expensive new Mac. | Jul 20 05:43 |
| DaemonFC | Linux still runs on all Macs. Even the Core Solo Mac Mini from 2006. | Jul 20 05:43 |
| DaemonFC | You don't have to wait for Apple to declare your hardware deprecated to upgrade to Linux though. Linux is for everybody. Your Mac will almost certainly even be faster than it was before after the upgrade. It's not like GNOME and KDE don't have their $20,000 toilet seats in terms of components that use system resources just because they want to behave more like Windows and Mac, but there are lots of options! Even the most piggish Linux | Jul 20 05:43 |

| DaemonFC | The real sticking points that will keep me from buying a Mac are the obscene price, the bad Apple software, and the fact that the hardware is frequently underpowered and impossible to upgrade or service by me, the end user. This comes together to create a relatively short usable life for a Mac computer. You're better off with Linux on PC." | Jul 20 05:43 |

| DaemonFC | Someone told me that Amazon made a Kindle "cloud reader" web app that runs in modern web browsers. I've never used Kindle before because of the Digital Restrictions Management[1], but I decided that since there would be no software to install, and Amazon does have some "free" books to test it out with, I thought I would give it a spin, just for kicks. | Jul 20 07:30 |

| DaemonFC | This is the most flagrant abuse of Javascript I've ever seen. Actually, it's not Javascript. It's more like "Obfuscript", to make it more difficult to figure out how their DRM works, so that you can't copy and paste text. | Jul 20 07:30 |

| DaemonFC | Interesting. I have the app on a somewhat old and slow 10 inch netbook with one of those Atom processors and it is also on my SG3 phone. On both devices, the app works great and is as fast as all three of my Kindles. | Jul 20 09:11 |

| DaemonFC | I have a Phenom II X4 945 and a Geforce 560 GTX and Amazon's cloud reader is so slow, it's like scrolling through a web page using the VESA driver from Windows XP. | Jul 20 09:11 |
| DaemonFC | Maybe I'll use Kindle when Amazon lets me save a file to my hard drive and open it up in Evince, without all this laggy encumbering Kindle garbage layered on top, so that you can't retain data that you paid for. | Jul 20 09:11 |
| DaemonFC | Seriously. I played Skyrim under Wine on this thing recently, but books lag? | Jul 20 09:11 |
| DaemonFC | This is clearly a regression. Real books don't render slowly and require piss poor software in order to read them. I also know that I can keep my real books forever, regardless of what Amazon's future business plans are. | Jul 20 09:14 |

| DaemonFC | No. They *should* just use the simplest solution that works, which is to give me the damned file. | Jul 20 10:37 |
| DaemonFC | This isn't the fastest machine in the world, but it's still faster than, say, a $1,100 iMac. | Jul 20 10:37 |
| DaemonFC | It still kicks some butt as far I I'm concerned. I still game on it. GNOME is fast and buttery smooth. Video playback is fantastic. Applications load at the snap of a finger. | Jul 20 10:37 |
| DaemonFC | I just wish people would ditch proprietary software that is designed to be treacherous and bloated, and to backstab their customer. | Jul 20 10:37 |
| DaemonFC | Then computers would work well and we wouldn't need to say things like "Damned computers. Why doesn't this work as well as what we had before?". | Jul 20 10:37 |
| DaemonFC | J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says: | Jul 20 10:37 |
| DaemonFC | The people running Amazon's Kindle store, and people who publish to it boil down to two kinds. | Jul 20 10:37 |
| DaemonFC | 1. They are ignorant. | Jul 20 10:37 |
| DaemonFC | or | Jul 20 10:37 |
| DaemonFC | 2. They're bad people who are doing disgusting things. | Jul 20 10:37 |
| DaemonFC | I generally prefer to think that most of them are #1s, because then they're simply misguided and don't fully appreciate the harm that they are causing, vs. #2s, who are just bastards. | Jul 20 10:37 |
| DaemonFC | J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says: | Jul 20 10:57 |
| DaemonFC | Is there a list, somewhere, of all the books available without Digital Restrictions Malware, so I know who I can do business with just by looking at a particular page? | Jul 20 10:57 |
| DaemonFC | By the way, I'm obviously very serious here. If I wanted the book, there are easier ways. Since Amazon is stopping me from doing business with them, and acquiring it without DRM might involve something equally dishonest as a publisher that uses DRM in the first place, and two wrongs don't make a right, I suppose that I'll just have to go to the library and/or continue buying old fashioned books. | Jul 20 10:57 |

| DaemonFC | Apple's the one that's kludging the crap out of their systems. Who cares if it has a fast CPU if you're stuck with integrated video and the hard drive is a dog? Really. Who wants that system? It's one of the most unbalanced systems I've seen. People buy these? | Jul 20 12:09 |

| DaemonFC | It's not really my computer that is struggling if Amazon's software is just poorly designed. | Jul 21 08:30 |
| DaemonFC | Google Docs does way more than Amazon Cloud Reader does, but Google Docs runs fine. | Jul 21 08:30 |
| DaemonFC | You can always come up with software that is so poorly built that it doesn't run on a reasonably configured PC. | Jul 21 08:30 |
| DaemonFC | I'm not thrilled to still be using a PC that's 5 years old, save for a nice graphics card upgrade[1], but I don't really want to buy a new computer right at this very moment. I'm in kind of a holding pattern right now, trying to get more time out of what I'm using while hoping that someone comes and fixes the PC market mess with something that you can just buy and use. Windows and Mac are not what I'd call "usable". Sorry. | Jul 21 08:30 |
| DaemonFC | The two best outcomes that could save the PC are that Steam OS and/or Chrome OS pan out. I'll tell you my line of thinking on this. | Jul 21 08:30 |
| DaemonFC | Steam Machines will be real computers, not just a video game console. You can boot out of Steam OS, which is a thin "Just Enough" OS built on Linux, which will be a great thing, because you will get better performance than Windows can give you. 1. Linux performs better than Windows anyway in a side by side comparison running the native version of identical games right now. 2. A JEOS like Steam OS will run them even better because it throws | Jul 21 08:30 |
| DaemonFC | out all of the stuff you don't need for gaming. | Jul 21 08:30 |
| DaemonFC | Valve's CEO, Gabe Newell, promised that you can reboot the machine into any normal PC OS to get your "boring" stuff done, so if this pans out, I could have a badass gaming console, that can reboot into Fedora, and that's just cool! | Jul 21 08:30 |
| DaemonFC | On the other hand, we have Chrome OS, which is Chrome running in its own "JEOS" version of Linux, and since Chrome is a powerful development platform which is only going to get more powerful, I think it's not unreasonable to think that we're going to get Chrome PCs with lots of RAM, fast processors, and decent video cards at some point. | Jul 21 08:30 |
| DaemonFC | Either way, I do believe that Linux is the OS of the future. The surge of Chrome OS to the #1 desktop on Amazon and the #1 laptop on Amazon kind of tells me that Windows and Mac are quickly becoming legacy operating systems, whose only defenders are like Japanese soldiers on an island in 1945 that didn't hear about how badly the war is going. | Jul 21 08:30 |
| DaemonFC | [1] And a nice graphics card can save you from a "blah" CPU these days, but a terrible graphics chipset, like we find in Macs and Walmart PCs can never be compensated for by a good CPU, which makes it all the more puzzling as to why Apple insists on fast CPUs with brain damaged Intel graphics chipsets. Apple has always been hostile to video game publishers, like going out of its way to make sure that games don't run on the Mac. | Jul 21 08:30 |
| DaemonFC | err, boot to steam OS rather *edits* | Jul 21 08:31 |
| Sosumi | nah | Jul 21 08:43 |

| DaemonFC | Now that the Microsoft software to sync the damned thing is abandoned, people who own one are up the creek without a paddle. I don't know what the most current situation is in regards to trying to get them to sync using other software, but from the looks of this article, Microsoft went very far out of its way to prevent that from happening. | Jul 21 08:44 |
| DaemonFC | If you want a portable media player, get one that has Mass Storage Class support, or keep walking. That's my opinion, of course, but I think it's ridiculous that you can't drag and drop files using your operating system's file manager on Zunes and iPods, while a cheap little Sandisk Sansa has always allowed this.

| DaemonFC | And Apple's statement about running Halo on a budget PC was pretty funny, because it ran OK on a budget PC. I know because I had a budget PC and Halo. :P | Jul 21 09:03 |
| DaemonFC | It wasn't a particularly advanced game engine. It ran on the original XBOX for crying out loud. The PC version was better because the XBOX version had no networking capabilities. Apple probably used it as an example of what you could do on the PowerPC Mac because it was one of the only 3d games that you could actually buy for a Mac. Microsoft kept Bungie's promise that it would work on a Mac, but Mac users got it two months later than PC | Jul 21 09:03 |
| DaemonFC | users. | Jul 21 09:03 |
| DaemonFC | Probably the only reason I got away with running Halo on my crappy Compaq that I had at the time was because the development target *was* a Mac. I still remember how butthurt Mac fanboys were when Microsoft bought Bungie, which was the only video game company that I'm aware of that ever *tried* to produce a Mac exclusive. (Notice how Halo 2 only runs on a Mac if you reboot it into at least Windows Vista, or maybe Windows XP if you apply the | Jul 21 09:03 |
| DaemonFC | Halo 2 XP "patch", but that's unofficial, and YMMV. And even then, good luck, because they weren't aiming for your crappy Mac with this one.) | Jul 21 09:03 |
| DaemonFC | I don't know. It's been enough years since Halo 2 PC came out that Intel integrated video in a Mac might be on par with a mediocre video card from 2006 by now. Anyone? | Jul 21 09:03 |
| DaemonFC | Apple's "budget" Macs are really nothing to write home about. It's budget PC performance at mid-range PC prices. | Jul 21 09:08 |
| DaemonFC | A $450 HP Pavilion with an AMD A10 APU will happily blow the Mac Mini right out of the water. | Jul 21 09:10 |
| DaemonFC | That's how bad things are at the low end of the Mac market. | Jul 21 09:10 |
| DaemonFC | Sosumi, Well, the nice thing about waiting to buy a new computer is that the longer you wait, the better system you'll get at any price level. | Jul 21 09:17 |

| Sosumi | the crap gpus across the board only started in 2009 | Jul 21 09:50 |

| DaemonFC | I've noticed that a decent GPU can save you from a bad CPU in games, but a bad GPU means it doesn't matter what your CPU is. | Jul 21 09:50 |
| DaemonFC | Even though the current higher end i7s are more than twice as fast as my Phenom II X4, when you go to load a game with an identical GPU on both systems, the i7 only brings the framerate up by 5-10% usually. | Jul 21 09:51 |

| Sosumi | testing with algos and so on | Jul 21 09:53 |
| DaemonFC | Modern game engines can create extra threads to take advantage of more cores, so your performance could actually go down with a dual core i5. | Jul 21 09:53 |
| DaemonFC | There's just nothing really exciting about getting a new CPU these days. | Jul 21 09:54 |

| DaemonFC | Apple tries to keep people in the dark about their new products. The only way you know that a current model is about to be replaced by a newer one is when stores start running out of the older model. | Jul 21 10:15 |
| DaemonFC | Apple knows that when you announce a new product, that sales of the old version collapse, and they want to keep people paying full price for the old model all the way to the end. | Jul 21 10:15 |
| DaemonFC | It makes it difficult to plan an upgrade cycle when you don't even know when the new hardware will be out. | Jul 21 10:15 |
| Sosumi | lol, it was apple who kept the 2011 mac pro going for 3 years with no updates and no price decrease | Jul 21 10:19 |
| Sosumi | and the sole reason they stopped selling it was because intel was going to stop manufacturing nehalem and westmere cpus | Jul 21 10:19 |
| Sosumi | and then they released the trashcan pro | Jul 21 10:20 |
| DaemonFC | Right, so right now the Mac Mini is 165 days past the average time between releases. | Jul 21 10:20 |
| DaemonFC | It's the 2012 model, and it's still selling at full price. | Jul 21 10:20 |
| Sosumi | crapple :) | Jul 21 10:20 |
| DaemonFC | People who buy it will see that in a month or two, there will be a new model that's twice as fast for the same price. | Jul 21 10:20 |
| abeNd-org | heh | Jul 21 10:20 |
| abeNd-org | yes, but people keep buying it, otherwise apple wouldnt keep the price where it is at | Jul 21 10:20 |
| abeNd-org | blame the same people who think they have a cousin who is a nigerian king that has millions for them | Jul 21 10:21 |
| DaemonFC | Right, so you buy the 2012 model, and then the new model comes out with a CPU that's very nearly twice as fast, and maybe double the RAM and the same price. Who wouldn't feel stupid for that? | Jul 21 10:21 |
| abeNd-org | most apple consumers wouldnt know the difference | Jul 21 10:22 |
| DaemonFC | I know. The people who buy Apple in the first place. | Jul 21 10:22 |
| DaemonFC | Even they must visit Apple.com now and then and see Apple bragging about how fast the new model is compared with the old one. | Jul 21 10:22 |
| DaemonFC | Also, Apple cuts off support for old products as quickly as they can, so buying the current Mac Mini means that you're already two years into its "life cycle", which means that if you wait and get the next model, you should be able to expect an additional 1-2 OS upgrades vs. buying this one. | Jul 21 10:23 |
| DaemonFC | Once Apple cuts off OS X upgrades, the pool of available software goes into immediate decline because they also rip out the ability for developers to target unsupported versions of Mac OS from XCode right away. | Jul 21 10:24 |
| DaemonFC | So, it's even more uncomfortable than continuing to use Windows XP. | Jul 21 10:24 |
| DaemonFC | So, even though you still have hardware that would be capable of running an office suite or a web browser, you can't even get current versions of those. | Jul 21 10:25 |
| DaemonFC | I prefer for my PC to gracefully degrade. In other words, new software that actually needs new hardware might stop working, but software that doesn't won't. | Jul 21 10:25 |
| DaemonFC | Because most new software doesn't need particularly new hardware anyway. | Jul 21 10:26 |
| abeNd-org | i will have to say my work phone, an old 4s, came out with ios5 & is getting the ios8 update, so that is pretty good for a mobile device | Jul 21 10:26 |
| abeNd-org | none of the sammy phones get upgrades anything like that, perhaps 1 major rev if they are lucky | Jul 21 10:26 |
| DaemonFC | I heard that the iPhone 4 line won't get iOS 8. | Jul 21 10:27 |
| DaemonFC | Besides, you don't need a new version of Android to run most Android apps. | Jul 21 10:27 |
| DaemonFC | People with Gingerbread can still run many apps. | Jul 21 10:27 |
| abeNd-org | you are correct, but that was released back in june 2010, so 4yrs old is pretty long in tooth when it comes to mobile devices | Jul 21 10:28 |
| abeNd-org | actually, my wife had to junk her 2.3.x android phone because of the new google calendar app wouldnt work with it, & the old one wasnt syncing properly anymore, & she is a heavy calendar user | Jul 21 10:29 |
| DaemonFC | That brings me to my other point. | Jul 21 10:30 |
| DaemonFC | Respectable Android phones are getting cheaper. | Jul 21 10:30 |
| DaemonFC | The Android One thing aims for a decent $100 Android phone without any subsidies. | Jul 21 10:31 |
| abeNd-org | hers was a at one time top of the line motorola | Jul 21 10:31 |
| DaemonFC | So, the iPhone 5c will still be $549 while a "good enough" Android phone will only be $100. | Jul 21 10:31 |
| abeNd-org | that motorola had on their 4.x upgrade list for the longest, then cancelled | Jul 21 10:31 |
| abeNd-org | which made that the last moto product we were going to ever buy (sure other things might have moto chips or such, but not buying anything with moto branding) | Jul 21 10:32 |
| Sosumi | back in the days of pocket pc | Jul 21 10:40 |
| Sosumi | the version of pocket pc or palm os you bought the device with | Jul 21 10:41 |
| Sosumi | was the one you’d also be stuck with | Jul 21 10:41 |
| Sosumi | same for symbian | Jul 21 10:41 |
| Sosumi | at least on the iphone, the have been doing good there | Jul 21 10:41 |
| abeNd-org | depending on the model, sometimes you would get no updates, minor updates, but i dont think you would ever see a major version update | Jul 21 10:41 |

| abeNd-org | yea, i think iphones usually received 3 major os revision updates | Jul 21 10:42 |
| Sosumi | with the 4 now being dropped after it was released back in 2010 | Jul 21 10:42 |
| Sosumi | while the only android devices that get regular updates are the nexus and google play editions | Jul 21 10:43 |
| abeNd-org | even the sammy flagship phones rarely get updates | Jul 21 10:43 |

| DaemonFC | I just got my car insurance renewal bill. Bleh! | Jul 21 11:06 |

| DaemonFC | I hate doing this. They want to ask you a billion questions. It's like canceling AOL. | Jul 21 11:07 |
| DaemonFC | Sosumi, I'm holding off on buying a new system because these upgrades haven't been really impressive lately. | Jul 21 11:09 |
| DaemonFC | I remember when the speed of a CPU would double every year or two, and it was just getting better at a crazy pace | Jul 21 11:10 |
| DaemonFC | I don't think they've tripled in speed in the last five years. | Jul 21 11:11 |

| Sosumi | just upgrade when you see it required :) | Jul 21 11:17 |
| DaemonFC | It's kind of sad really. That there haven't been incredible advances in the last five years., | Jul 21 11:19 |
| DaemonFC | Leave it to Apple to take us from dragging and dropping files with a file manager to "You need to install the most horrendously bloated media player ever made, and it only works with Windows and Mac.". EWW! | Jul 21 12:08 |

| DaemonFC | "every new version of iOS is full of bugs" | Jul 21 15:50 |
| DaemonFC | Does it support Ogg Vorbis yet, or are users stuck with Apple's garbage AAC or (god help you) Nero's? | Jul 21 15:50 |
| DaemonFC | Apple and Nero managed to produce such low quality AAC encoders, that although AAC is theoretically as good as Vorbis, their implementations of AAC are often matched or outperformed by the lame MP3 encoder. | Jul 21 15:50 |
| DaemonFC | http://listening-tests.hydrogenaud.io/sebastian/mp3-128-1/results.htm | Jul 21 15:50 |

| DaemonFC | If it comes down to a choice between Apple AAC or Lame MP3, use the Lame MP3 encoder. It produces files that will work everywhere, the quality is as good or better, and MP3 will be in the public domain in 2017, while MPEG-4 patents (like the ones describing AAC) won't finish expiring until the 2030s. Apple owns MPEG-4 patents and that's why it promotes AAC and fought to get open standard media codecs out of the HTML 5 specification. Apple | Jul 21 15:50 |
| DaemonFC | can't be trusted. The have conflicts of interest with what's good for the public. Like Microsoft, Apple's goal is to suck a tax stream out of innovative companies. Spotify rejected AAC and streams in Vorbis. Good for them! | Jul 21 15:50 |
| DaemonFC | If Vorbis is a choice, then forget both and use Vorbis. | Jul 21 15:50 |
| DaemonFC | I'd call missing Vorbis support a definite dealbreaker when choosing a portable media player. | Jul 21 15:50 |
| DaemonFC | On the topic of Apple's bogus iTunes "Plus" "upgrade", the only point of doubling the size of the files was to run your iThing out of space faster. | Jul 21 15:50 |
| DaemonFC | Only the kind of complete philistine that would do business with Apple, spend $300 on an MP3 player, and wear those crappy earbuds would think that they'd get any benefit from a doubling of bitrate. | Jul 21 15:51 |

| DaemonFC | I did notice something amusing a while back. It turns out that Apple actually deleted a lot of their old FoulPlay music from their iTunes server, so people who didn't pay for the "iTunes Plus upgrade", which replaced the FoulPlay file with a clean copy at twice the bitrate seem to be able to just delete the files from their computer and re-download them from iTunes, and most of the time, they appear to be getting the "iTunes Plus" file | Jul 22 14:24 |
| DaemonFC | without having to "upgrade" their library. | Jul 22 14:24 |
| DaemonFC | Using iTunes with or without DRM is still pretty silly, but for purely technical reasons related to the questionable quality of the AAC format, the huge files, etc. Vorbis is a better codec, there are no patents, and it uses the logical method of encoding the data, which is variable bitrate. | Jul 22 14:24 |
| DaemonFC | If you're already knee deep in iTunes, then at least deleting and re-downloading your FoulPlay files gives you a free upgrade path to the file you should have gotten in the first place. No DRM garbage. | Jul 22 14:31 |

| DaemonFC | "I'll admit iTunes doesn't run well on Windows. Apple really needs to fix that." | Jul 22 15:29 |
| DaemonFC | They've had more than 10 years since I've used it on Windows and it still doesn't work well? Obviously, they don't intend to fix it, just like their stupid audio codec. | Jul 22 15:29 |
| DaemonFC | "And as for Vorbis, well, more like nobody has sued them yet about patents." | Jul 22 15:29 |
| DaemonFC | Steve Jobs made some nebulous and idle threats about a patent pool being formed to attack Vorbis with, but nothing ever came of that, and Vorbis is used in a lot of places now, including YouTube and Spotify. Android plays them. Lots of portable media players play Vorbis. So, people with deep pockets are using it. Why has nobody "gone after" them? | Jul 22 15:29 |
| DaemonFC | I allege that Jobs was just saying that to try to drive people away from unencumbered codecs and onto formats where they definitely will lose a lot of money to patent fees. Apple owns a lot of the patents, so it's obvious why they don't like the competition too much. Since he was a sociopath, con artist, and liar like Bill Gates is, that's highly likely. At least Jobs won't be doing any more nasty things. | Jul 22 15:29 |
| DaemonFC | "AAC is more than "good enough" unless you're an extreme audiophile." | Jul 22 15:29 |
| DaemonFC | I don't like AAC and the patents don't finish expiring until the 2030s. The Lame MP3 encoder produces higher quality out of MP3 than Apple or Nero get out of AAC, and MP3 patents all expire by 2017. If you have to use MPEG, use MP3. | Jul 22 15:29 |
| DaemonFC | I didn't say that MP3 or AAC was so bad that it would make my ears bleed or anything. | Jul 22 15:29 |
| DaemonFC | I just didn't see the point in using anything but the best (Vorbis) when all options were available to me, but AAC and MP3 had quality and legal issues, and Vorbis didn't (other than the aforementioned nebulous and idle threats from the corpse) and Vorbis works with all my favorite stuff. | Jul 22 15:29 |
| DaemonFC | I think it's amazing that I've never come across any particular sample where Ogg Vorbis had a noticeable failure case at a reasonable bitrate. The same cannot be said for other mainstream codecs. | Jul 22 15:29 |
| DaemonFC | It's probably why Spotify and Google went with Vorbis for their streaming needs. | Jul 22 15:29 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR should get a kick out of that. | Jul 22 15:31 |
| MinceR | well said | Jul 22 15:32 |
| MinceR | (though jobs can only no longer do nasty things if he's already completely decomposed) | Jul 22 15:32 |
| DaemonFC | J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says: | Jul 22 15:50 |
| DaemonFC | Also, codecs like Vorbis follow the general consensus in the open source community that following the standard is only desirable when the standard is good and implementing it will be of more benefit to the user than replacing it. | Jul 22 15:50 |
| DaemonFC | When following the standard will create more problems for a user than not following the standard, you can deviate from the standard as far as compatibility concerns will let you go, or you can just create a new standard. | Jul 22 15:50 |
| DaemonFC | It quickly became obvious, in digital video and audio, that all of the proprietary options were unusable on the open web for a combination of legal and quality problems, and so codecs like VP8 and Vorbis was created as the new standards. | Jul 22 15:50 |
| DaemonFC | I'd say they're the only real standards, because they're the only ones that you have an absolute right to implement and use anywhere, without the MPEG-LA patent trolls hunting you down and sucking out your blood. | Jul 22 15:50 |
| DaemonFC | Fattening themselves up like a tick. | Jul 22 15:50 |
| DaemonFC | The MPEG-LA patent trolls have deferred their right to collect "royalties" for a few years to try to make MPEG-4 codecs more palatable for web streaming use, but their deferral will expire, and anyone foolish enough to be using them will be on the hook owing so much money that their business might not even be profitable enough to continue. Those that continue will just have to pass the added costs along to the customers. | Jul 22 15:50 |
| DaemonFC | Open codecs like VP8 and Vorbis appear to have gone the right way, and route around the patents or wait them out. If we starve the MPEG-LA beast, then soon it will not be able to hurt anyone and parasite off of productive businesses. | Jul 22 15:50 |

| abeNd-org | ok, so say ms goes out of business tomorrow, what of companies that actually rely on ms or ms-based products that there is no opensource/floss/etc alternative? | Jul 22 17:37 |
| MinceR | they'll do what they do when m$ EOLs a product they used, for a while | Jul 22 17:39 |
| MinceR | and then they'll move on to something else | Jul 22 17:40 |
| abeNd-org | so why arent companies making linux based (server & client) software more often then? does it not get enough usage & then get dropped as a product | Jul 22 17:42 |
| MinceR | perhaps because they believe people like you | Jul 22 17:42 |
| abeNd-org | i remember HP had webjetadmin as a linux & windows based server product, then they dropped linux because there was, according to them, no one using it so they went windows only on it | Jul 22 17:42 |
| abeNd-org | not sure what you are getting at "with me", as I said I have plenty of linux servers doing things at customers, windows runs where there is no viable linux alternative | Jul 22 17:43 |
| MinceR | i suspect such products will get more use as the network effects that favor m$ fade | Jul 22 17:45 |
| abeNd-org | i gave you a list of a bunch of software & asked you for alternatives, you just spewed kiddie version names at me instead of anything usable | Jul 22 17:45 |
| MinceR | you just spew mindless m$ propaganda | Jul 22 17:47 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-torrentfreak.com | Adobe Says Piracy is Down, But Photoshop Still Rules Pirate Bay | TorrentFreak [ http://ur1.ca/ht5aj ] | Jul 22 18:08 | |
| DaemonFC | I think it's a good thing that Adobe is clamping down on pirated copies of Photoshop. | Jul 22 18:08 |
| tessier | abeNd-org: MS won't go out of business for a long time. Like IBM they will slowly whither away over the course of decades. If MS were to disappear tomorrow the software would still continue to exist. So no problem. | Jul 22 18:09 |
| DaemonFC | Since most Photoshop users are pirates, that means that the CS6 version is effectively cracked forever and most of them will just keep using that instead. As Wine progresses, it will eventually run CS6 perfectly. | Jul 22 18:09 |
| DaemonFC | It's already close. So the pirates can just take their CS6 and stick it into Wine, and there goes another reason to use Windows. | Jul 22 18:09 |
| tessier | And yes, the networks effects of MS and their incompatible protocols etc. have taken a terrible toll on the industry. That will begin to resolve, open standards will evolve, and Linux and others will get more support. | Jul 22 18:10 |
| DaemonFC | That also effectively stops development on a proprietary program, for most users, so as CS6 rots and Gimp and others are still in development, the eventual outcome could be that many of them ditch CS6 and move to an open source alternative eventually. | Jul 22 18:10 |
| DaemonFC | Microsoft never really cracks down on piracy, because Linux desktop usage would go double digits overnight if 40-some% of Windows/Office users were told to cough up $500 right away to keep using their computer. | Jul 22 18:12 |
| DaemonFC | I think that Adobe is about to learn a painful lesson that the pirates using their software were actually promoting the software as a de facto standard, and making it harder for other people to avoid as well. | Jul 22 18:13 |
| DaemonFC | Also, open source development happens more when there isn't a good enough proprietary program that's affordable and widely available. | Jul 22 18:14 |
| abeNd-org | like the SIP2 compliant library ILS i love, evergreen, linux backend with windows/linux clients, however there still is no linux/windows/osx client with windows/linux server side patron management system, so libraries still end up needing a windows server | Jul 22 18:16 |
| abeNd-org | all i was asking MinceR for was an alternative (to that & other ms-based server side products), not baby name calling | Jul 22 18:18 |
| abeNd-org | & I find it rather insulting to be called a microsoft drone | Jul 22 18:20 |

| abeNd-org | yea, speaking of that i see shrills want to use the "all you can read" monthly subscription as a reason to get rid of all libraries | Jul 22 18:31 |
| abeNd-org | as if every single person can afford $10/month, a kindle, has internet access, etc etc | Jul 22 18:31 |

| <--abeNd-org has quit (Quit: Leaving.) | Jul 23 18:03 | |
| DaemonFC | I deliberately avoided Samsung's Chromebooks because they run on ARM hardware and it's hard to find a mainstream Linux OS that has official support for those models. The Mali graphics processor, in particular, that comes on ARM hardware, is totally undocumented and a real nasty piece of work. The Intel HD video in the Intel models is supported by a driver that Intel wrote, so you even have full 3d acceleration support. | Jul 23 18:03 |
| DaemonFC | There was a respin of Fedora 19 that ran on the Samsung Chromebook, but not one for Fedora 20, so Fedora won't boot at all on the Samsung Chromebook 2. | Jul 23 18:03 |
| DaemonFC | I consider being able to dual boot a major feature. Not being able to dual boot my Chromebook into Fedora would have soured the deal. | Jul 23 18:03 |

| DaemonFC | https://developers.google.com/cloud-print/docs/overview?hl=ja | Jul 23 18:10 |
| DaemonFC | "Replicating the complex printing architectures of traditional PC operating systems on these new class of devices is not desirable and often not feasible. Nobody in the printing ecosystem - users, developers, print manufacturers - wants to extend the 'driver mess.'" | Jul 23 18:10 |
| DaemonFC | That's funny, because when I reboot into Fedora, and plug in my HP Deskjet into the USB port, it prints just fine. B-) | Jul 23 18:10 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-developers.google.com | Introduction - Cloud Print — Google Developers [ http://ur1.ca/htcok ] | Jul 23 18:10 | |
| DaemonFC | With Cloud Print, you have to set up some Google software onto a full blown PC with a printer plugged into it, and send all your documents off to Google to send back to your PC, or you can buy a new printer that has direct Cloud Print support. Because you have a bottomless wallet, right? | Jul 23 18:11 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, Usually not an issue though. | Jul 23 18:16 |

| DaemonFC | I don't trust Windows or the government as far as I could throw an aircraft carrier. | Jul 23 18:21 |
| DaemonFC | There's very few people in government that would tell you the truth if there was a way not to. If they commit to something, then their successor won't feel bound by it. | Jul 23 18:22 |
| DaemonFC | Right now, I think that Obama is scrambling to give people a few things that they know they're going to lose the next time we get a Republican in the white house. | Jul 23 18:23 |

| DaemonFC | That's how it feels anyway. | Jul 23 18:41 |
| DaemonFC | It was a great place to be, 15 years ago. | Jul 23 18:41 |
| DaemonFC | I wouldn't have wanted to live anywhere else in the world. Now, I have my reservations about saying that. | Jul 23 18:41 |
| MinceR | i can't see any human rights being reinstated | Jul 23 18:42 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, I think most of the problem is the Republicans in Congress, followed by the damned supreme court. | Jul 23 18:45 |
| DaemonFC | They'll eventually overturn the gay marriage bans, which is good, but it's only because businesses are lining up and lobbying for that. | Jul 23 18:46 |
| DaemonFC | At the same time, they're about to get another shot at the healthcare law. | Jul 23 18:47 |
| DaemonFC | So, watch out! :P | Jul 23 18:47 |
| DaemonFC | Well, you don't have to because you don't live here. But anyone that does needs to. :P | Jul 23 18:47 |
| MinceR | well, usian corporations buy laws here too | Jul 23 18:48 |

| DaemonFC | If it makes you feel better. B-) | Jul 23 18:52 |
| DaemonFC | And that's what really makes me mad about people that hate Americans. If they have to kill someone, then why don't they kill the people responsible for what's happening, instead of a bunch of people who really didn't get a say in it. | Jul 23 18:53 |
| DaemonFC | Our system is set up so that the powers that be re-elect themselves. You get a very limited choice between two parties that agree on most of the same things. | Jul 23 18:54 |

| DaemonFC | J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says: | Jul 23 20:55 |
| DaemonFC | Apple is in the process of locking down the Mac with the same software installation restrictions that they pioneered on the App Store. | Jul 23 20:55 |
| DaemonFC | Soon enough, you'll be unable to turn off Gatekeeper (already on by default, I understand), and then they'll say it's because of "security" and you won't have any freedom on your Mac computer either. | Jul 23 20:55 |
| DaemonFC | Apple pioneered nasty anti-user restrictions by convincing users that they didn't need their freedom when you called the computer a phone or a tablet. They'll backport this godawful system to the Mac. It's already well underway. | Jul 23 20:55 |
| DaemonFC | Microsoft wants the same thing, but they're backing away because developers hate the app store revenue stealing model of Microsoft's Windows Store (which would also raise software prices by over 30% if they could force it onto the developers), and are not publishing their work there. Users hate Windows Modern anyway, and go to the desktop to use Win32 apps. | Jul 23 20:55 |
| DaemonFC | Some people wonder why I will use literally ANYTHING but Windows or Mac, and this kind of crap is part of the reason why. I don't like manipulation, and I don't like bullies. I also hate crap software in general. | Jul 23 20:55 |

| DaemonFC | I could use Netflix in my Chromebook and pipe it out to my TV, but what's the point? | Jul 23 23:38 |
| DaemonFC | Legal alternative to piracy, my ass.... Has anyone _looked_ at the shit on Netflix lately? They say something like "Your favorite show is now on Netflix!", so you look and it's like one season from four years ago. | Jul 23 23:38 |
| DaemonFC | Amazon has another service now. $9.99 a month for unlimited books (through Swindle). It's already just like Netflix. The five biggest publishers, who control probably 90% of what people want to read aren't having any of it, so it's utter crap right out of the gate anyway. | Jul 23 23:38 |
| DaemonFC | If you want to fight piracy, then give the people what they want! I wish some of these old cigar-smoking fogeys who run these Old Media companies would keel over and turn things over to someone who's seen 30 since 1930. | Jul 23 23:38 |

| DaemonFC | Of course, if it's something serious like a bugfix update for a real app, it can take weeks or months to get through their app store Nazis and into the store, so Android users will get the bugfix while Apple users are still using the bugged version and trying to pretend like nothing ever goes wrong with their stupid iPhone. | Jul 24 00:40 |

| DaemonFC | The chicken was good. The apple dessert tasted like I was eating a Christmas candle. I about gagged. | Jul 24 01:11 |
| DaemonFC | Part of an Amazon Forum post of mine: | Jul 24 01:29 |
| DaemonFC | "There are plenty of trojans hiding in pirated Mac software. Mac users pirate software like Windows users do, because a lot of what they want is proprietary and expensive. They go so far as to ignore the fact that software like LibreOffice doesn't cost a dime and there's no activation system to crack. | Jul 24 01:29 |
| DaemonFC | If you avoid Microsoft Office and head straight for LibreOffice, you avoid the malware. Even better, you avoid Microsoft Office. Even if Microsoft Office was free of charge, it would still be a bad idea to use it, because it would still be proprietary software that spits out Microsoft Office documents. Even though other software can deal with those files most of the time, it's not nice to spew them. Unfortunately, for people who think they | Jul 24 01:29 |
| DaemonFC | need it, Microsoft Office can often cost more than the computer they are running it on." | Jul 24 01:29 |

| DaemonFC | I'm changing my recommended browser to Google Chrome. | Jul 24 02:04 |
| DaemonFC | On Linux, Mozilla Firefox is starting to feel a bit rough around the edges. Also, Google got me hooked on Chrome's awesomeness via the Chromebook. It's nice having your Chromebook in sync with your desktop Chrome. | Jul 24 02:04 |
| DaemonFC | I'm starting to think that when this system dies in a few years, I might just replace it with a Chromebox. Fedora Linux has been good to me, but desktop computers are starting to feel like a relic, like Windoze is. Even though Linux is super-speedy even on not-new hardware, I still can't go from the Chromebook to the desktop without feeling like I'm driving a tank. I guess I could buy an SSD and fix a lot of this aggravation...I just don't | Jul 24 02:04 |
| DaemonFC | know if I want to dump more money into a computer that's already over five years old. | Jul 24 02:04 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz, Someone told me that Windoze has gotten better with the malware problem. I replied. | Jul 24 02:06 |
| DaemonFC | "Even by their own statistics, Windows 7 and later have a huge malware problem. Not as bad as before (if you believe them), but they were starting from Windows XP, so there was obviously a lot of low hanging fruit to go after there. | Jul 24 02:06 |
| DaemonFC | They can't fix Windows. It wouldn't be Windows anymore if they did. Short of a brutal crackdown (app store only and no other software permitted), Windows is a basket case. | Jul 24 02:06 |
| DaemonFC | Lots of malware for Windows, and much of it doesn't even require doing more than visiting a particular web page." | Jul 24 02:06 |

| DaemonFC | http://www.jwz.org/blog/2011/09/xscreensaver-5-15/ | Jul 24 02:12 |
| DaemonFC | Said Jamie Zawinski in late 2011, "I finally bit the bullet and "upgraded" to XCode 4, which was a huge pain in the ass. I still find it largely incomprehensible, especially when it comes to adding or copying targets, but I figured I couldn't put it off forever. The most frustrating part about this is that XCode 4 has apparently gone out of its way to make it impossible to build MacOS 10.4 and/or PPC binaries (which XCode 3.2.6 was still | Jul 24 02:12 |
| DaemonFC | able to do), which means that 10.5 Intel is now required. This bums me out, because I still have a mostly-functional hand-me-down PPC MacBook! It's not even that old, and now it's no longer possible to target software at it after only two OS revs? Madness.

| DaemonFC | Then again, you can tell where some of them have never made Linux software before, when they repackage all of /usr/lib into their directory. You see truly stupid people doing this all the time. The people who made the video game "Trine" did it. Then one of their files malfunctioned in a newer Linux release, and I had to figure out which one it was and delete that copy of the library so it got the system copy. Stupid stupid people..... | Jul 24 04:58 |
| DaemonFC | But that's proprietary software for you. Stumbling along and hiding incompetence and bugs. Sometimes, calling proprietary software developers incompetent is high praise. | Jul 24 04:58 |
| DaemonFC | Google did Chrome up with a bunch of back asswards Windoze developers and then had to go back and fix pretty much everything later. | Jul 24 04:59 |

| DaemonFC | Oh, I actually kind of like Chrome now, but it took them a while. | Jul 24 05:03 |

| DaemonFC | At least someone is cleaning up all this Windows mess. | Jul 24 05:04 |
| DaemonFC | I'd like to see Microsoft routed even if they are largely replaced by Google. | Jul 24 05:04 |

| MinceR | imagine a world where general-purpose computers are illegal unless you have a developer license with the government, and then you have to accept extra-heavy monitoring | Jul 24 05:05 |
| DaemonFC | I think Google has the right idea here. They didn't start with Chrome OS on anything fancy. Just start eating away at Windows on the low end with machines that can do most of what a desktop user is likely to do anyway. | Jul 24 05:05 |
| MinceR | and everyone else is closely watched through the cloud | Jul 24 05:05 |

| DaemonFC | "You know, that with all the apps and computers that Apple breaks, you'd wonder how the people who go insane and buy a Mac actually get anything done at all. Software with no active development just dies every few years, and software that is developed has an expensive new version. When Apple finally breaks your entire computer, the only way to get it running modern software again is to upgrade you Mac to Linux. | Jul 24 12:51 |
| DaemonFC | Apple users should be glad that they have access to open source software. Of course, even then, developers can't support your Mac that got dropped and broken by Apple because of bugs and problems that exist in the Mac hardware because Apple rushed a broken product to market (like the first x86 models), or because Apple just wants to sell you new stuff every few years. As soon as you can't run the latest Mac OS, the death watch begins, at | Jul 24 12:51 |
| DaemonFC | least as far as OS X software goes. | Jul 24 12:51 |
| DaemonFC | I understand that with Mavericks and Yosemite, Apple dropped support entirely for a lot of Macs that aren't really even that old. Luckily, Linux will support my non-Mac computer for as long as I'll use it. Part of the reason I didn't buy a Mac was because I knew that this **** would happen and Apple would just drop it when Linux would keep my computer running for all practical purposes for at least twice as long. | Jul 24 12:51 |
| DaemonFC | I suppose there might be some kind of hack to shove Mac OS 10.8 and 10.9 on your "old" 2008 computer anyway, like there was when Apple declared that OS X 10.4 wouldn't run on any Mac without Firewire, but why should anyone have to resort to this on hardware that has no honest reason for being deprecated? | Jul 24 12:51 |
| DaemonFC | There's no legitimate reason to drop a 2008 computer. Things shouldn't have changed so much that it's some kind of a horrible maintenance burden, unless you ****ed everything up real good to get it released faster, like Apple does." | Jul 24 12:51 |
| DaemonFC | "With Apple, the only way forward is to drop the entire computer and most of your software in the trash again every few years and start over." | Jul 24 12:55 |

| DaemonFC | In the PC world, dropping x86-32 support means PCs older than 2004, for the most part. | Jul 24 13:47 |
| DaemonFC | With Apple, they shipped 32-bit EFI on some systems clear up to 2008, so they can't boot into a 64-bit OS properly | Jul 24 13:47 |
| DaemonFC | Apple doesn't care because they can just drop those Macs and tell people to buy new Macs. | Jul 24 13:47 |
| Sosumi | well and those macs are just underpowered now to run any current version of osx anyways | Jul 24 13:48 |
| Sosumi | WELL, they were already crap low end hardware to begin with | Jul 24 13:48 |
| Sosumi | but I do agree that apple could have launched a firmware update to bring those machines capable of booting into 64 machines | Jul 24 13:49 |
| Sosumi | which basically were just the two first mac pros | Jul 24 13:50 |
| Sosumi | 2007 macbook pros already had the 64 bit EFI | Jul 24 13:50 |

| MinceR | consider yourself lucky if they'll be able to tell the time reliably | Jul 24 14:56 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, I don't know about the cheap part. I saw a PC the other day for $200 that even threw in a keyboard and a mouse. It wasn't an i5 or i7, but you don't exactly need one when you can't install a video card alongside it to balance the system out on the Mac anyway. | Jul 24 14:57 |
| MinceR | i mean relatively | Jul 24 14:57 |

| DaemonFC | I ran into someone the other day that was still using a Pentium 3 computer that he bought in 1999. You'll never see a Mac in service for 15 years. | Jul 24 15:23 |
| DaemonFC | You'll never see Mac software in service for 15 years, for that matter. You buy a new Mac or upgrade the OS, and most of it all breaks again. | Jul 24 15:24 |
| DaemonFC | Just out of curiosity, I asked him why he was still using a PC from 1999, and he told me that he was unemployed and couldn't afford an investment in newer hardware right at the moment, and his 1999 PC was running fine with a minimal Linux system anyway, so it wasn't an immediate problem. | Jul 24 15:26 |
| DaemonFC | Many Mac owners have to replace their system every three years anyway, so they've trashed about 5 computers, going on 6, and all the software that goes with that. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting it to all work better this time. | Jul 24 15:28 |

| abeNd-org | i have an old 4s, bought for me by my workplace, & if i want an upgrade I'll have to pay for it....I'll pass | Jul 24 16:50 |
| DaemonFC | abeNd-org, Yeah. I remember 10 years ago, there was this college guy that I was fooling around with for a while who had a PowerMac G4. His parents bought it for him and he was all like "My Mac is so awesome.". So he was over at my house one day and used my Windows XP machine with a Celeron and said "This is really fast! You must have paid a fortune for this!". | Jul 24 16:53 |
| DaemonFC | So, that kind of tells you how clueless people are. They get off their Mac and use a Windows system with a Celeron processor and think it's super fast. | Jul 24 16:53 |
| abeNd-org | ouch! | Jul 24 16:53 |
| DaemonFC | By the time Apple was done with the G4, they had been using it for so long that it was just totally embarrassing. | Jul 24 16:54 |
| DaemonFC | Celerons were beating the crap out of them. | Jul 24 16:54 |
| abeNd-org | I haven't used too many osx machines | Jul 24 16:54 |
| MinceR | :> | Jul 24 16:54 |
| abeNd-org | a customer's macbook here & there, but thats about it, apple's marketing hasnt convinced me to buy one for myself | Jul 24 16:57 |
| DaemonFC | If Windows keeps going where it's going, I may have to buy a Mac to boot Linux at some point. | Jul 24 17:00 |
| DaemonFC | I doubt Apple really cares much about booting Linux on a Mac because nobody really does it. | Jul 24 17:00 |
| abeNd-org | they will treat it like windows, poor power management, bad drivers, etc | Jul 24 17:01 |
| DaemonFC | I understand you can remove OS X completely. | Jul 24 17:02 |
| DaemonFC | I see people running Linux on a Mac sometimes. It seems to work. | Jul 24 17:02 |
| abeNd-org | right, but apple wont release source for any of the hardware on it, so linux will "work" on it, but not optimally | Jul 24 17:03 |
| MinceR | if mac os keeps going where it's going, buying a mac may not necessarily help you | Jul 24 17:04 |
| abeNd-org | im betting apple would rather you just buy an iphone & ipad | Jul 24 17:05 |
| abeNd-org | & nothing else | Jul 24 17:05 |
| abeNd-org | well, perhaps an iwatch | Jul 24 17:05 |
| MinceR | are their profit margins higher on all those? | Jul 24 17:05 |
| abeNd-org | i dont have the numbers in front of me on those, but I am guessing apple wouldnt be bothering with them if they werent making a mint per device, they dont sell for a loss like sony/microsoft did the consoles | Jul 24 17:06 |
| DaemonFC | Aside from the firmware, I think the Macs are really just PCs aren't they? | Jul 24 17:07 |
| DaemonFC | http://dilbert.com/dyn/str_strip/000000000/00000000/0000000/000000/00000/1000/400/1486/1486.strip.gif | Jul 24 17:07 |
| abeNd-org | yea, x64 intel | Jul 24 17:07 |
| abeNd-org | but even windows running on a macbook suffers from lack of optimized drivers | Jul 24 17:07 |
| MinceR | they're low quality pcs with some attempts at incompatibility | Jul 24 17:08 |
| DaemonFC | Apple wrote the drivers for Windows! | Jul 24 17:09 |
| DaemonFC | I doubt Linux has that problem. | Jul 24 17:09 |
| MinceR | :> | Jul 24 17:09 |
| abeNd-org | id rather have a dell precision, you can stack a lot of nice stuff into those, 2 HD bays + optical, pcie ssd if you wanted, etc | Jul 24 17:09 |
| MinceR | yeah, i guess even dell is better than apple | Jul 24 17:09 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, It depends on which Dell you buy. I tried to put some more RAM into a Dell that my grandmother paid WAY too much for, and when I pushed down on it, the retention clips broke off the socket and pinged around in the case. | Jul 24 17:10 |
| MinceR | lol | Jul 24 17:11 |
| abeNd-org | DaemonFC: thats the problem, apple doesnt do optimized drivers, so windows suffers. no source or binaries for the hardware in linux so im sure it suffers the same | Jul 24 17:17 |
| abeNd-org | DaemonFC: you are probably talking a vostro or inspiron, neither of which should exist, the latitude/precision arent bad for laptops, & i cant say anything to alienware as ive not used them | Jul 24 17:18 |
| MinceR | latitudes aren't that great either | Jul 24 17:18 |
| MinceR | but at least they aren't as bad as inspirons | Jul 24 17:18 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah, it was an old Inspicrap. | Jul 24 17:19 |
| abeNd-org | DaemonFC: yep, those are 100% junk | Jul 24 17:19 |
| abeNd-org | same as the dell poweredge "SC" line of servers, & for this channel I will call those Severely Crippled | Jul 24 17:19 |
| MinceR | also, their "warranty" isn't worth the paper it's printed on | Jul 24 17:19 |
| MinceR | wow, you got off the high horse? :> | Jul 24 17:20 |
| abeNd-org | MinceR: just for you this once | Jul 24 17:20 |
| *abeNd-org hugs MinceR | Jul 24 17:20 | |
| MinceR | awkward... | Jul 24 17:20 |
| abeNd-org | yea, hard to hug text | Jul 24 17:20 |
| DaemonFC | The shittiest server is the Lenovo ThinkServer. | Jul 24 17:20 |
| abeNd-org | the business class dells I have had great luck with warranties, if you run the dell diags & it says something is wrong they replace it no questions asked (as they should) | Jul 24 17:22 |
| abeNd-org | warranty for vostro type units? wouldnt know, but I am betting you are correct | Jul 24 17:22 |
| MinceR | i tried my luck with an inspiron | Jul 24 17:23 |
| abeNd-org | you gambled & lost! | Jul 24 17:23 |
| MinceR | but i don't see why the model should affect so much of whether they care to deliver on their promises or not | Jul 24 17:23 |
| DaemonFC | There seems to be a lot of refurbished Dell and HP deals on Woot.com | Jul 24 17:24 |
| abeNd-org | that is the world of consumer vs business/industrial products | Jul 24 17:24 |
| DaemonFC | Probably a reason for that.... | Jul 24 17:24 |
| abeNd-org | the dell consumer products are made with whatever is cheapest that day | Jul 24 17:24 |
| DaemonFC | The Amazon reviews are pretty much all "I had it for three days and it wouldn't power on anymore.". | Jul 24 17:24 |
| DaemonFC | That sort of stuff. | Jul 24 17:24 |
| abeNd-org | the optiplexes are a standard set of specs made for 12-16 months for enterprise lifecycle | Jul 24 17:25 |

| MinceR | doesn't matter though | Jul 24 17:27 |
| MinceR | dHell had their chance, they said 'fuck you' to their customer, i'm not buying their crap again | Jul 24 17:28 |
| abeNd-org | MinceR: for consumer grade I cant really speak for their support, I only care about business class | Jul 24 17:28 |
| MinceR | maybe they're used to the typical hungarian consumer attitude | Jul 24 17:28 |
| MinceR | "sure, they fucked me, but at least it seemed cheap! :goes back for more hurting: " | Jul 24 17:28 |
| MinceR | no wonder the typical business treats their customers like shit | Jul 24 17:29 |
| abeNd-org | *shrug* perhaps their consumer support blows, but their business class support is great | Jul 24 17:29 |
| MinceR | well, i'm not going to experience their "business class support" | Jul 24 17:29 |
| abeNd-org | I'm not saying they should treat a vostro customer like shit, as they would develop the same attitude as you towards the entire company, to which I don't blame you | Jul 24 17:31 |

| DaemonFC | A good article. The author is right. It's going to take more than a cheap laptop that can barely run Windows at all to save Microsoft from the Chromebooks. | Jul 25 01:00 |
| DaemonFC | On top of the miserable low-end Windows laptop experience, you still need to fork over hundreds of dollars if you want to use MS Office, which is a real bloated bastard and might not even run on a system like this. | Jul 25 01:00 |
| DaemonFC | The computer will take ages to boot, thanks to a spinning platter hard drive. | Jul 25 01:00 |
| DaemonFC | You still need to run Windows antivirus software on top of all this. Have fun with that. | Jul 25 01:00 |

| DaemonFC | Just for the lulz. I'm surprised that so many people get away with using Microsoft Office, especially Excel. | Jul 25 14:47 |
| DaemonFC | Excel has hundreds of bugs, very few of them get fixed, some of them have been there for 10 years or more. It can swell up to use gigabytes of RAM. It has floating point rounding errors that produce bizarre and hilariously incorrect data..... | Jul 25 14:47 |

| DaemonFC | Even when people aren't running into the bugs, they often use it wrong, and produce disastrous results. | Jul 25 14:47 |
| DaemonFC | In order to get Microsoft compatibility, you have to reproduce all their bugs too, which is why you shouldn't use Microsoft Office export filters from LibreOffice, unless there's absolutely no other option. LibreOffice uses a more accurate arithmetic library, while Microsoft keeps shipping broken software. When you use Microsoft export filters, LibreOffice has to emulate problems with Microsoft Office, which could cause you some of the same | Jul 25 14:47 |
| DaemonFC | problems as using Microsoft Office in the first place. | Jul 25 14:47 |
| DaemonFC | Microsoft wants to convince everyone that you need a 'spensive Windoze computer to use 'spensive office software. Theirs, of course. I say, pass..... | Jul 25 14:47 |
| DaemonFC | Although I'm *told* that Microsoft supports OASIS OpenDocument 1.2 now in MS Office 2013, I'd be treading lightly, unless you want MS Office exporting its bugs into your ODF files! | Jul 25 14:47 |
| DaemonFC | I'm so glad that I don't have to use any of this company's software, ever. Why should Office be any different than anything else that has the Microsoft warning label on it? | Jul 25 14:47 |
| DaemonFC | How is this post related to the topic? Microsoft says that you need the crappy underpowered Windoze laptop so you can load MS Office on it. Tell me how that works out. Hint: Flipping it over and trying to max out the RAM later for almost as much as the laptop cost does not count. | Jul 25 14:47 |
| DaemonFC | Microsoft doesn't really have an operating system built for the cloud. They have one that's meant to run bulky locally-installed software that needs 'spensive hardware. | Jul 25 14:48 |
| DaemonFC | And a low-end Celeron with small amounts of RAM just isn't up to the task that Microsoft says you need their underpowered Windoze laptops for in the first place. | Jul 25 14:50 |

| DaemonFC | Slapping an Amazon logo on these pieces of junk doesn't make them better. | Jul 25 15:13 |
| DaemonFC | J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says: | Jul 25 15:13 |
| DaemonFC | Well, you can't talk sense into some people. | Jul 25 15:13 |
| DaemonFC | I told people not to buy a Nokia X. I got a lot of abuse for that. One woman on Amazon said she got them for her whole family. | Jul 25 15:13 |
| DaemonFC | Microsoft officially bought Nokia, declared the Nokia X unsupported, and now the woman who told me that I needed to quit dissing Microsoft has a Nokia X, and so does her family. | Jul 25 15:13 |
| DaemonFC | You need to tread lightly when you're dealing with broken Android forks that use old versions of the AOSP and aren't Google Certified. Of course they're not entirely compatible. They're missing most of the APIs, or they include lame replacements that the distributor put in with no thought and no care. | Jul 25 15:13 |
| DaemonFC | Amazon's phone is also less secure, because you're missing Verify Apps and other defense mechanisms. So, don't go too far off the reservation and try to sideload apps. You can do that safely from a modern Real Android phone, but not from a Fire Phone. | Jul 25 15:13 |

| DaemonFC | Most people use Office and its associated applications because that's what they use at work. Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint. | Jul 25 15:25 |
| DaemonFC | Those who don't use whatever is easiest and cheapest to do what they need. | Jul 25 15:25 |
| DaemonFC | J. R. Bob Dobbs (formerly ZOMG Pink Ponies) says: | Jul 25 15:25 |
| DaemonFC | That's the thing though. Microsoft Office is not easy to use, and neither is Windoze. Neither are stable or well supported. Neither are cheap. Neither of them run well on an affordable computer. | Jul 25 15:25 |
| DaemonFC | I think that Chrome OS and alternative office suites have more than one foothold here. If Microsoft simply dumps Windoze for "free" and tells OEMs to play ball and create awful computers just to get them down to $200, they still have all the other problems I listed. | Jul 25 15:25 |
| DaemonFC | Going back to ease of use... If Excel was easy to use, then those economists wouldn't have produced that report that sent everyone into a panic over the economy. | Jul 25 15:25 |

| DaemonFC | Linux would work fine on a $200 computer that I saw on special at Newegg the other day, and you can load LibreOffice on it too. | Jul 25 19:26 |
| DaemonFC | Like I said. Linux runs fine on computers where Windon't. The fact that Windows doesn't run well on low end computers never stops companies from selling low end computers with Windows on them. | Jul 25 19:26 |
| DaemonFC | The $200 PC I spoke of had a quad core 2 Ghz Haswell Celeron and 4 GB of RAM (with an empty slot, so you could pop in another 4 GB). It's not fancy, and for some reason, they bogged it down with Windows 8.1, but it's nothing a little hard drive formatting couldn't solve. The components bought separately would cost more than the PC did on sale, so a throwaway copy of Windows is just a minor annoyance. | Jul 25 19:26 |
| DaemonFC | I even remember some companies selling Windows XP on systems with only 128 MB of RAM. It barely ran at all. So, this special that I saw is the 2014 version of that. | Jul 25 19:27 |

| Aless88 | hey guys, can someone tell any good sources for learning about patents? | Jul 25 22:36 |
| Aless88 | let us just discuss the following situation: | Jul 25 22:37 |
| Aless88 | you have a business; | Jul 25 22:37 |
| Aless88 | person X sees that your business is growing; | Jul 25 22:38 |
| Aless88 | the same person files an application for a patent | Jul 25 22:38 |
| Aless88 | the patent is about the idea your business revolves around | Jul 25 22:38 |
| Aless88 | his application gets approved and he holds that patent | Jul 25 22:39 |
| Aless88 | he then says you can no longer keep your business | Jul 25 22:39 |
| Aless88 | because it is in violation of the aforementioned patent | Jul 25 22:40 |
| Aless88 | can you defend yourself against this? | Jul 25 22:40 |
| Aless88 | is this even possible? | Jul 25 22:40 |
| Aless88 | and any sources/literature about patents would be greatly appreciated | Jul 25 22:41 |

| DaemonFC | "Discussion of the quality of Bose products can sometimes elicit strong and polarized opinions. Some see Bose as a maker of high-end equipment, while others see Bose as a company that uses marketing to make extravagant claims for otherwise ordinary products." | Jul 26 04:31 |
| DaemonFC | Maybe Apple should just buy them. | Jul 26 04:31 |
| DaemonFC | "A July 2012 review by NBC News of the $5,000 46" Bose TV noted that the video screen, produced by Samsung, resembles most closely a $750 flat panel television, and that the technology used is not up to par with other screens in the same category. The review then questions the value of the additional $4,260 cost for the Bose TV, suggesting there are compelling audio alternatives for less than 1/5th the price difference." | Jul 26 04:32 |
| DaemonFC | That sounds exactly like Apple. | Jul 26 04:32 |
| DaemonFC | I'd better watch out. Bose has a tendency to sue everyone that doesn't like their products for libel. | Jul 26 04:34 |

| schestowitz | The adoption of only ODF - and not also OOXML, as was urged by Microsoft - is most significant for the degree of market adoption and legitimization it will necessarily lead to. Unlike OOXML, which exists in several versions in the marketplace (and was not adopted even by Microsoft in the ISO/IEC approved "strict" form until years after its adoption by those organizations), ODF exists in more settled forms. Use of ODF-compliant | Jul 26 17:01 |
| schestowitz | software by tens of thousands of U.K. government workers will provide incentives to Microsoft to take greater pains to ensure that documents saved in ODF form will preserve their formatting with greater integrity, since many open source office suites (such as LibreOffice and OpenOffice) are available for free. | Jul 26 17:01 |
