"Hey guys I figured out the secret to auto-evolution."
"That's amazing!"
"LOL no i almost did."

At least I can use my iPod Touch as a USB flash drive now, so there's a plus to that.

I hate how terribly locked down iPod Touches are.

You need a special program to drag and drop files on/off them and it's hard as hell to find a free one that's decent.

I don't!
Jailbreaking for the ultimate-loving-win, you can turn any size of your free space into a native FAT32-formated USB drive that'll be recognized by anything.

Unless, for system files, yeah.
I just use OpenSSH for that.

I'd rather wait a few more seconds to boot something thats decent.

Mac isn't decent.  It's just like Ubuntu with a price tag.

Mac isn't decent.  It's just like Ubuntu with a peice tag.

wtf is a peice tag

It's a magical part that stops positive chi from flowing in the computer.

I have to agree :U

After using Ubuntu for a month now on my laptop I'd have to agree with Brickybob, Mac really isn't all that different from Ubuntu.

I can support this statement with experience as my family has an iMac G4 in the kitchen, we use an Intel iMac (G5 I suppose) for our recording studio in our basement with Logic 9, my mother has a Macbook, my brother has a Macbook, my sister has a Macbook Pro, and when my PC pooped out last summer I had to use the recording studio mac for three months.

Linux. I always want to install it, but its just crap. A problem always occurs with it, and it often requires a fix that only a Linux expert seems to ever be able to fix. Why is Xorg.conf always loving up? And honestly, if you don't have the Internet Linux is utterly useless.

Within a month you'll all be merging your Swap and Ext3 back into one partition and using it to install Steam games on. Linux is cool for 3 seconds.

If you don't have internet, I find that any computer loses a lot of it's value.
I mean, I have some single player games, maybe I could single player blockland or minecraft (I only play minecraft in single player anyway) and I can do that on either operating system. Also, Windows isn't ever really "cool" for any time, because people are just used to it, to say getting accustomed to your OS is a bad thing is quite contradictory.

Also, why do TF2 not work anyone on Linux?

Steam games don't exactly work in general on Ubuntu.

And Icy, I haven't run into a single bug with that file ever.

Games work for me.

Also Macs make useless .ds_store files.
