    You three would make an excellent remake of the Three Stooges.

    "You need psychological help!"
    "And a shrink!"


    Let's face it, Apple doesn't get hurt by a small free program by an Asian student which merely emulates the appearance of the dock on PCs, while not emulating the functionality.

    Anyone who is trying to rationalize their decision, or go a bit farther than that like Agathon and Cloud9 have done, are the ones that need help.

    Apple is being a bunch of tw*ts, litigious tw*ts. I'm sorry if the reality of this shatters your wet dream, but there's no reason to make asses of yourselves over it.

    And for the record, I did have a shrink for a while. He says I'm perfectly healthy, hence why I haven't seen him in ages.

      Yeah, after all, what do all those US district attorneys and judges know about anti-trust law? They shouldn't have found Microsoft guilty of anti-competitive behaviour in violation of said anti-trust laws, they should have shaken their hands for being "benevolent" enough to not drive Netscape completely bankrupt .

        Nobody said they weren't found guilty.

        They simply weren't really punished because the whole trial was a huge f*ckup thanks to a horrible judge.

        MS was found guilty for the same thing Apple does 10 times worse, the thing is Apple is so bad at it they have a patheitc marketshare and hence aren't going to be charged with anti-trust crap.

          Now you're going into denial. How typical.

          This is not about your attitude towards Apple, Asher. It's about your attitude towards people who disagree with your points of view. I know how you are. You wish everyone in the world were exactly like you. Well, I've got news for you: If we were all the same the world would be a very boring place.

          And for the record, I did have a shrink for a while. He says I'm perfectly healthy, hence why I haven't seen him in ages.
          Haven't seen him in ages, eh? Ages can change a man. You need to see a shrink, again.

            I've no problem with people who disagree with me but can form arguments. I really don't like people who disagree with me and use bull**** arguments and red herrings and strawmen incessently...

            Example: My best friend, IRL, is a German-born guy my age who is a diehard Mac user and total leftie. He's still an awesome guy, and we get along great. The reason being is he knows how to debate. When asked why he uses Macs, he simply replies "Because I like them.". That's all he needs to say, and I understand and respect it.

            It's the Mac users who start saying stuff like "Oh it's the FASTEST" and "Oh it's the BEST" that annoy me, and him. He also hates Apple's legal and marketing team, FYI.

            Haven't seen him in ages, eh? Ages can change a man. You need to see a shrink, again.
            Nah, I'm all good.

            I reserve the right to make fun of people who make ridiculous arguments, I don't need to see a shrink for that.

              Cloud9, I'm still waiting for your reply in the NASA G5 thread. You said you were going to write one, but never did. All you kept doing is asking for my GPA and proof of it.

                It's not our points of view that matters. It's how you respond to them by insulting people who disagree with you. That's not normal behavior.

                Make fun of people? Asher, grow up! That's grade school stupidity. You're in college and shouldn't be acting like a child anymore. And yes, you do need to see a shrink.

                        Certainly.
                        Asher:

                        First of all, I don't see any consistencies in your arguments. I'll explain later.

                        (you never did)

                        I mean like, what's your GPA? And can you prove your GPA?

                            Oh, now I remember. Someone mentioned not too long ago that you are taking drugs and you actually confirmed it.

                            That's makes total sense. This kind of behavior that you display is typical of someone who is under the influence of drugs and possibly even alcohol. And the fact that you deny that you need help makes you even more incriminating.

                            I pray that someday you find help, Asher. Perhaps it will take an eventual arrest, and if that's what it takes then so be it. Better to be arrested than to throw your life away on drugs. I pray that someday you will be admitted an AA program (or a Canadian equivalent).

                            Until then, there's no point in arguing with someone who is on drugs. For that reason, I'm putting you on ignore until you shape up your life. And you can forget about me replying to that 'NASA' thread.

                            Don't bother replying.

                              Get off yourself, it's prescription medication.
