just out of interest, do you think the word of the law or the spirit of the law is more important?
The app switcher is almost identical between Mac and PC, but hey, it's okay, because you were using hyperbole.selfish wrote:i thought i was fine with windows till i had to grapple with the lack of a good app-switcher and no expose

Classic selfish, say something utterly ridiculous and then go "but it was hyperbole!"
Macs are fucking pieces of shit and OS X is a badly coded piece of crap. Don't like my opinion? You idiot, it was just hyperbole!
Aaaanyway...
I wasn't ragging on Mac at all (in this thread at any rate ).BOOMY wrote:I was going to agree with mech here but now you've both had a your old lovers tiff you both look equally as stupid. All I can is I know selfish in real life, he often lists reasons why his mac is much more convinient than a PC - and I dont disagree but at the end of the day it is a huge move to make(that is more expensive and wont play games once ur used to the new OS) and at best it provides a different(not better) way to do things + added stability.
I'd buy a mac for graphic work or video/audio recording, as far as a new OS goes. its not a big enuf leap.
Also Winamp > Itunes 4EVA!!!
I just think people are overly harsh on Windows.
Anyway, hopefully selfish has calmed down now and won't be posted any more 1600x1200 pics to try and pay me out.

I like OS X because of its BSD layer and because it has desktop compositing built this century. I'm a DOS boy at heart and I still do stuff like dropping to terminal and pinging something to test connectivity but at the same time I'm not averse to eye candy which is powered by an underused GPU.
I wouldn't touch OS 9 with a 40-foot barge pole though. That shit is just damn evil.

There's enough of a difference in the app switching [for me] for it to make a difference in the ease of use. Do I have to justify every comment just for you? Do you need a disclaimer on every post? "May require some interpretation: written in English, this post has been processed on lines that also process egg, nuts, and idiom."
You didn't say anything about the letter of the law vs the spirit. Which one?

Same here. I love being able to actually use all my arcane Unix knowledge on my computer while still having the power of the OS X GUI. OS 7-9 were very very VERY evil tho. But Windoze has got better, and I also hate those Mac users who just rag on every other OS. They all have their pros and cons.

i know i've probably come across as a dickhead mac fanatic, but i can see the flaws in osx too - stuff like a network drive disconnecting and making all of finder hang, the read-only ftp support in finder, the way windows handles zips is better (and they did it first!), the inability to use arrow keys to move the cursor across whole word, and i'm sure there's more i'm forgetting.Texas wrote:Talez wrote:But Windoze has got better, and I also hate those Mac users who just rag on every other OS.

and i *do* like being able to use other people's unix knowledge (and google) to be able to change pretty much anything

This morning i wanted to copy something huge from my pc to my macbook, so i connected to my pc on the macbook, and started copying it over wireless. I realised it was gonna take ages so I plugged in a lan cable, then disabled the wireless - with the network drive still on. Big mistake. Spinning beachball of death. Had to hold the power button down until it turned off

quicksilver does it instantly, with less keystrokes, and in a more predictable fashion - you don't have to wait for it to think about what its doing.
i mostly use it as an app launcher, and make it append to files every now and then - but just as a launcher it beats scrolling through a list hands down. i.e. to launch photoshop, you push apple space, type PS and push enter - but if you don't like it i guess you don't like it. eh.
