For all we know...

...it could be an OS X trash can. Hard to tell at that resolution.

Suprime!

Buttsecks!

Operating system

"Today, 20 plus parallel sessions are quite common; the browser is more of an operating system than a data display application," Mozilla Labs said.

Perhaps these people could look up the definition of 'operating sytem' before making trendwhore statements. Also, no mention of Chrome, the pioneers of the browser=OS bullshit?

srsly

Marshal8e6 sounds more like the name of a group of VXers rather than an anti-virus firm, e.g. "HAXED BY MARSHAL8E6 LULZ".

Game design as art?

And this (the responses) is why you shouldn't ask such questions. "Framing"? Are these people from the 18th century?

Diplomacy

- I believe your beloved country's Eurovision entry sucks donkey balls, Mr. Capitalistic Composer. ^_^

- Why thank you, your neighbors' commendable sycophantism was a grand success, if I say so myself, your Retarded Excellence, sir. ^_^

- Yes, true, very true, fuck you very much. ^_^

+1 (title requirement solution kit here)

+1 for global-warmingists. Now we can scare children with giant snakes if they don't finish their CO2 emissions.

Pics or it didn't happen

The moron was so destroyed by all the haxoring that he posted a screenshot of it on his "blawg". :(

The series is getting better and better :D

It deserves its own NSFW-style tag IMO.

No such thing

No such thing as disabling autorun. Autorun may disable you, however.

UFO

That's not a mast, IT'S A UFO!! in pic #19.

Strange creature?!

What IS that thing driving the car in the 2nd pic on the first page?

Wow

The author tries to make such a strong point against OS X on non-Apple hardware. And what's with the pseudo-advertisement ending? Here's my experience of installing 10.4 on a rather old P4 system:

1. Create a partition for OS X (shrink existing partitions with PartitionMagic if necessary)

2. Install OS X from DVD.

3. Install a modified kext for sound.

4. Enjoy OS X.

My full-time OS X-using friends have similar experiences.

New rover also features a megaphone

...so it can announce its arrival, "HAI MARTIANZ!! WE HAZ PEWPEW LAZERZ AND NUKEZ SO BRING FORTH THE WATERZ AND LIFEFORMZ NOW!"

OMFG

So there was water on Mars, WE GET IT!

Now go do something useful with the planet FFS.

Flawed thinking

I live in a country whose native language is spelled phonetically. One can easily observe this "feature" of the language doesn't prevent bad writing and lousy spelling as a result of poor education.

So long and thanks for all the pollen

The bees simply got the hint and are leaving in advance of the invasion/annihilation.

Re: Does less than the Air

Actually, OS X has been running on non-Apple hardware for a while now. ;)

Bot army now with human servants?

So apparently Russians are paying people to correctly identify captcha strings for their bots?

Re: D'oh

But what ARE the white bits? Also, what happened to the brown continents?

OOOOH I know! The continents are white because they're covered with snow from the ice age that global warming brought about.

CD burning?

"CD burning is much more domestic piracy, and is much more somebody avoiding paying for something."

WTF is he talking about? No one needs to burn CDs anymore.

On making a "living": who says people should become extremely rich from selling copies of an album? It's as if there's a universal law (or should that be "Universal®"?) that says so.

As for the governments intervening, same as above. Why should the government try to preserve this weird industry with levies and such? This isn't something we need for survival--it's not the governments' business, and if this industry can't survive as it is for some reason, THEN SO BE IT. Anyone who thinks music (or the other arts, for that matter) will suddenly perish if the huge corporations behind it collapse, is a blind moron.

Re: The real question

It's not a matter of using Quicktime as media player. The format is an industry standard for video editing (captures, intermediates, etc.). Most of the time there just isn't another viable option (considering price, interoperability and so on).

But yes, QuickTime is Apple's too successful impression of Microsoft.

Come again?

"Surely, if ISPs limited CC emails to 20 a day and charged 1p per email CC thereafter, most spam would dry up?"

Who uses CC these days except cardigan-knitting office women? Not to mention, a large number of people use Gmail and such for their email, not their ISP's service.

Surely the author wouldn't pass this computer competence test he himself suggests.

Network Solutions are a bunch of axxwipes

They have made their site such that you *have* to make a domain search to see their prices. And soon all other registrars will follow suit to protect their respective "customers".

And for that matter why anyone would pay $35 for a domain when they could get one for less than one third of that is beyond me.
