    i don't know why people have this mac/pc debate anymore, they are both so fast these days, each with their own benefits....it basically is up to you, try a mac and if you like it, grab one, if not, oh well

    i really think people that still participate in the mac/pc debate are just caught up in the old 90's way of thinking

        I dont really care either way, the thing I hate is the elite crap the mac side tries to pull, and then act like a pc is only good to be used as a calculator, yet SOMEHOW millions of people manage to do EVERYTHING they need without drinking coffee or buying a mac. lol

            wtf are you running, windows 98?

            I have two machines running windows xp
            I never get pop up notifications
            I activated ONCE, a year ago
            I have not had any virus issues in at least a year
            spyware isn't even an issue, complicated dialog menus? um, yeah, us smart people like more options, sorry if it confuses you
            drivers? I plug in new shit and it works, what are you having issues with?
            security? in what way?

            you really sound lik you are running an old version of windows, have you upgraded recently?

                I agree man, it is just SILLY fight anymore....macs and pc's are both awesome machines, there is no need to fight with someone because they prefer one over the other

                one thing I always notice though, is when a pc user speaks up about using a pc in a group of mac people, all KINDS of mis-information flies

                but when a mac user speaks up about using a mac in a group of pc people, pc people get inquisitive and ask questions

                wonder why that is?

                                That's cool. I've been meaning to look into doing things like that.

                                I really like the idea of controlling applications via high level languages like ruby, or python. RubyCocoa and PyObjC are also things that make my panties moist.

                                    these religious discussions remind me of Atari versus Amiga - they're both dead today































                                    And Atari TOS was better

                                        The new mac pro's and mac book pros are crazy fast and reliable, even when running windows (XP, soon I will through vista on and test).

                                            Btw since you have forgot more than I know, please lets hear what HD camera or HDV camera you currently own, or have own, or have shot with. Ive seen several statements you've made about HD that are completly wrong, and many of the big content producers shooting in HD told you you were wrong.
                                            Who has said I was wrong, actually a few have agreed with me especially those who shoot with hvx200. The cams I have tried sony fx ,z1 and Ive tired the hvx200 (which is true hd).I was very excited when HDV came out , sat thru demo of the first one which was a jvc one chipper,then sat thru the sony ones.None of them impressed me and my friend who shoots fulltime mainstream still shoots most of his stuff on beta. Ive studied videography under a man who has won a Emmy,I studied cinemography under a award winning independent film maker. I just dont see the small porn world. I have yet to see porn footage on hdv that was nothing to write home about.People go a wow not because its better its because its bigger but that dont mean better. The only hd footage on line that truly blew me away was for RED.

                                                    I have to agree with you there, most of the HD stuff I have seen in porn is just like the rest of the porn I have seen, just bigger

                                                            Here wanna see what HDV can do? This film was shot with the FX1 and Z1U both HDV cams.

                                                            Its 1.3GB but the torrent is incredibly fast.

                                                            Download the torrent
                                                            http://www.zudeo.com/az-web/download...T74WRQ.torrent

                                                            Goto the preview on that torrent site. Legal to download put there for public viewing.
                                                            http://www.zudeo.com/az-web/details/...J54T74WRQ.html

                                                            HDV is an incredible format.

                                                                    Jace, you should make a distinction between the people that are just using 'HD' as a selling point and the people that are actually striving for a higher level of quality. There are plenty of sites out there that are jumping on the ambiguity that is 'HD' and 'High Definition'. If the bitrate isn't at a minimum of 3.25Mbps for a 1280x720 wmv, the quality is lacking and you'll just get the it's 'just bigger' result.

                                                                                        i will say this though, if porn is going to take the step in the HD direction, it is going to have to start using better backdrops than motel beds and crappy furniture...step out of the box and fuck on a bridge that overlooks a beautiful landscape, or find some old warehouse settings and light them up all spectacular, etc....

                                                                                        the few samples I have seen are just hotels or 80's mansions with the same old props, nothing that brings out the "HD" in the dvd
