for fun - i run it all on macs
 

i'm typing on a 17 inch powerbook. 30 gig mp3 player for music.

my employees all use macs. servers are all freebsd. it's more than possible :)

talk to Oliver Klozov to hear the same

:glugglug

at least you use FreeBSD.

I've heard stories of people like that....

only ever witnessed it with my own eyes once... it frightened me.

It's not quite as rare as people might think.

quick, name something on your mac that apple manufactured or even engineered!


the aircraft aluminum case! that's it! same with the g5! more yay!

do you feel like you're not really working, but rather just there... sharing the Mac experience?

ahahhahah.

no i work about 10 hours a day (less than i used to) and am gay.

i use final cut pro to edit video. i use cleaner 5 to compress video.

shrug.

Yea, FreeBSD is good!

jDoG

do you feel you're sharing the windows experience?

at least i don't have to sneak up on my pc and trick it into doing what i want it to :Graucho

No, they're just sharing their computer with Microsuck.

there simply can't be anything more entertaining than those bashing an OS who are not even sure why they don't like it in the first place...

UNIX sucks LOL.

i said nothing of the sort!

If anyone really knew then they would know that OS X has only enhanced what unix could be.

Just hafta restart crashed programs every fifteen minutes or so. :glugglug

I used to be forced to work on Macs.... and in most cases, I opted to dump the job. (Commission based) AT&T's policy was...

"I got a Mac here..."
"Tell them to buy a PC and reschedule."

"Sir, you need to buy a PC."
"What?!"
"Sorry. Your computer is a block of cheese. Have a nice day."

"432 10-8 Avalon."
"10-4 432."

:1orglaugh :glugglug

um, and? did you deal with mac when it its kernel was unix?

anyway, i love mac, and do well with it. so do many.

enjoy windows if you love it. format c.

actualy freeBSD is the worst distro i've ever had the misfortune of using but linux distros are a very personal thing, im a slackware fan...

all I'm saying is I'm not bashing an OS I know nothing about, as you said. I've been on both. I've been inside both.

I'll keep my PCs. :)

cool. i still use current windows in a limited fashion. you (possibly) comparing previous mac os's to OSX is funny - since it's complete unix based - and pretty fucking beautiful if you admire unix machines.

anyway, cheers amp :glugglug

GASP!!


slackware is the closest linux flavor to FreeBSD though... what's your beef with the daemon?



i don't restart programs every 15 minutes, either. win2k pro pretty much got rid of that, but it still had a few bugs. win xp is very solid for the most part, except for some of the software i use is unstable because of the people who made it.

unless you count adobe, i have trouble with golive sometimes just crashing.

boom

:arcadefre

Argh I hate golive, much prefer dreamweaver...
I think I used version 5, would just lock solid for random reasons.

Like I said linux distro's are a very personal choice almost like boxers of briefs...the fact that I like slackware comes from a series of e-commerce development projects where I was on slackware for along time. It was clean...

People have told me I would love debain...

My home XP box goes down for only a handful of reasons..
1) Power Outage
2) Reboot from software install
3) I shut it down before doing a music recording project
4) I've decided to format it (which i do every 3-4 months)

This thing has never once crashed out on me, sure i've hand applications die...but the core stayed stable.. I'm actualy impressed with XP... (I HATED with a passion ME)

this is quite a platform flame war developing.

I use tandy. fuck mac, fuck windows

Nothing like sitting in front of an open flame. Pass the marshmallows plz :)

Huh? FreeBSD isn't a Linux distro..

I've always been a Debian user myself. However, I wanted to play around with FreeBSD so I ended up putting it on one of my laptops. It isn't that bad.

I wanna get to mac on day...

there's something about having a computer that don't crash all the time that turns me on ;)


Quiet, can you run most windows software... I mean, how hard is it... like all those freeware/shareware and shit like that you find on the web ... can you run that on mac,... have no experience with macs... only old apple of old that people make fish tanks of nowadays :)

Hmmm, as much as I hate XP (for my own reasons) it doesn't crash. Win2kPro is even more stable.

And there's so much software for them.

Why? Does windows corrupts itself that quickly...

Quiet, I've gotta agree. Mac's for workstations and freebsd for servers. It works for me, it's productive, and cost effective.

Here's a good example of why Macs are good.

A friend has a print company that has been around for awhile. In 1989 they bought a Mac SE/30 and a 286 machine with Windows 2. The use for both machines was graphics and page layout.

The se/30 is still being used for simple page layout (pagemaker), the accounting software and MS Excel for costing spreadsheets.

The 286 machine was retired in 1992. And is currently a landfill resident.

The SE/30 cost $3500 back in 1989. Which works out to $250 a year for the hardware.

The 286 cost $2700 in 1989 and lasted 3 years. Which works out to $900 a year for the hardware.

Which one is more cost effective? The machine that still does everything they want, or the machine they have to buy a replacement for every 2 to 3 years?

;)

Back then Yes..Maybe Today no!

I can buy a XP 2400+ 30 GB 128DDR On board/sound...ect Cheap cheap....

230.00 Including shipping

Any mac = Much more!

but that box is already outdated, is the point

bah... screw os-X, windows, damn spoogey consumer os's... *IRIX* is god, period. v6.5.19 was the best ever, *nix nirvana...

...just think 'the cathedral & the bazaar'..!
