Desktops

The last one doesn't look better, it looks exactly the same as the other two, as I said a while ago.

Q Cubed just illustrated rather clearly just how much psychology taints Agathon's judgement, even in the most blatant cases.

By the way, Aggie:

If I was a real Mac fanatic I wouldn't have picked KDE anyway.

Which is precisely why you did pick KDE. You don't want to come off as a Mac fanatic, so choosing what the known-moderate had said looked best as the best is an obvious attempt to get away from being called a Mac Fanatic.

This way you could pretend you're not a Mac fanatic, while still saying Mac > Windows.

But it backfired.

[Agathon]

I'm still thinking about it. I'm pretty sure I can install all the KDE stuff using Fink Commander (it takes the hassle out of it).

I don't want to have a dual boot system as I'm pretty sure that I would have to wipe everything. Serves me right for not partitioning in the first place.

I'm thinking that my next mac will be a dual system though.

honestly, i can't see how the last one would look better. it was the same image as the first two, merely duplicated.

My laptop display tends to be darker at the bottom than at the top. hence, the one at the bottom of the screen looks darker = more contrasted = better (I prefer the "no clear type" option in Asher's pic, btw)

[Agathon]

Asher, you are a conspiracy theorist. Three people picked the bottom one.

[Q Classic]

if you're lucky, you might not have to dual boot. repartition, maybe, but the 2.6.4 kernel has support for hfs+, so you ought to be fine.

having no experience with fink commander...

[Agathon]

You don't need any experience to run Fink Commander. It's just a front end for Fink and is the noobs (read: Agathon) way of installing open source stuff with no hassles.

Herd mentality is nothing new.

Says the man who uses Windows.

[Asher]

I use Windows because Linux on the desktop is a joke, and OS X is on a closed monopolistic (imagine that) platform and grossly overpriced, not because my neighbors use Windows.

This one's for Emperor Tassadar:

[Agathon]

No Asher, you use Windows because you are uncool.

I am the definition of cool. All the chicks in computer science want me.

Quod erat demonstrandum.

Hey, you aren't so bad. Unlike most CS students apparently you wash occasionally.

[St Leo]

What is this "wash" you speak of?

The washing helps, but it's the eyes that do it all. Then when they find out I'm gay I suddenly have faghag followers.

Women.
