The Second Coming of Apple

[Imran Siddiqui]

Windows .

Though Dells (at least their laptops), OTOH, suck . Never had a problem with the 10 year old Gateway that I used to have and then gave to my brother (and I'm typing on right now, at my parent's house).

Summary:

"I used to hate macs, but I got so sick of Windows and viruses and **** that I decided to try one. I was wrong. I can't believe it's so much better, I'll never go back to MS crapware."



I must have heard that story so many times recently...

Sounds like a great party

Just how much did you have to drink, and how badly was your ass kicked?

You're the weedy loser kind of guy who got his head shoved down the toilet at high school, not me.

I was surprisingly never bullied.

I wasn't exactly popular, but I wasn't picked on either. I was one of those kids no one seemed to notice unless you were their friend. It was just how I wanted it.

You're the weedy loser kind of guy shoving kids heads down toilets at high school, I'd bet.

Why does that not surprise me?

So many weedy losers possessed the physical strength to shove someone's head down a bog.

Because you know I was above the petty politics of high school.

Yeah right. I doubt there's anything petty in this world which you are above.

I'm not petty enough to argue about different interpretations into the thoughts of somebody who died thousands of years ago.

No. You just aren't smart enough.

[Asher]

Smart people go on to do something productive for our world.

People who pretend they're smart stick around in academia teaching stoned frosh at public universities about how somebody else interpreted what somebody else said.

No. They go on to organize computer science peons to do it for them, so that they can get on with things that really matter.

Maybe at the University of Calgary. But if you'd actually been to a respectable college, you would find it much harder.

Whilst running one of the oldest and modest respected technology companies into the ground while they're at it.

You can continually dismiss my university all you like, but the reality of it all is you use it as an argument of convenience only. While the UofC may not rank highly in McLean's controversial ratings, and while their philosophy department isn't "established", they have many first-class programs in fields that you couldn't even begin to understand, though you make an ass out of yourself repeatedly arguing about them on Apolyton.

My statement stands as a generalized comment. Even then, the UofT is hardly a world-renown university. They can't even afford a real stadium.

The UofT stadium is a dirt field with bleachers.

They demolished it because they can't really see the point of sports, and the noise was annoying the people who do the real work at the school. They let York have it.

U of T is easily Canada's finest university and is pretty well known. Ask any diabetic for an opinion on that matter. It's not Oxford or Cambridge, but it is easily in the world top 30.

Your statements stands as the generalized comment of an oaf with no understanding of the point of a decent education.

You are the kind of guy who will work all his life to earn money which he then spends on a massive and expensive stereo system that he then proceeds to play Rod Stewart on.
