It is true. I just bought myself one of these simply because I like OS X. I'm using it as an extra machine. (I just have my laptop atm as a general computer.) It's also plugged into my entertainment center, so I'm using Plex and am liking it so far. Other than the entertainment center functionality, I'll use it for business to run some small databases on to test my code changes locally. Things like that.
Anyway, all that to say, I wanted the most RAM I could get in it just as a general rule. Apple charges $500 to put 8GB of RAM in the mini. You can do the same for $100 from newegg. People can bicker on whether OS X is worth the extra hardware cost, but they're reaming people on upgrade costs. You can't really argue about that sadly. Considering how incredibly easy it is to swap out RAM, it makes it even more bizarre. Every Mac I buy leaves me with unused RAM modules. It's annoying
You're right. You're not a fanboy.
You're a slut

He was so lonely, girl. He was sad and down. Didn't understand why haters joked around. He wanted to be free with other creatures in the sea. Now he got his wish... cause he knows that he's a gay fish.
Gay fish, yo
Muthafuckin gay fish. He's a fish, yo
I was always impressed by one tried and true patterns I discovered at one location of employment: the (jsp -> XML using a jsp -> XSL) -> html/javascript held together with a jsp -> html frameset trick. Toss in liberal doses of "pure Java" plus the action for the form from the page being another jsp with a bunch of pure Java and one jsp tag to do a redirect to another jsp consisting of again pure Java and a redirect back to the original page (or a Struts action).
And just to keep you from being bored, toss in several include files and external
And of course, your IDE won't know WTF to do with it, so you might as well view it in a text editor.
I fully support this idea provided pilots have to say it over the intercom.
Anyway, if I were doctor working there, I'd just carry a "please" stamp around with me and stamp anything that wouldn't be invalidated by having the word "please" stamped on it.
If you have a problem with someone treating their co-workers like crap, fire them and skip the bullshit.
Where the hell do you work? My friends at university (CS students) and co-workers are all quite nice. There is no "boy's club". We are not condescending to others. We are not arrogant. We do not help in ways to make other people feel stupid. Do I have some asshole co-workers? Sure. But more of them are not developers than are actually... but that's not the point.
Just because you're surrounded by assholes doesn't mean that's the norm. I've met far fewer people that fit the stereotype than do.
It's like we're on two different planets... I'm sorry yours is so shitty.
I can understand wanting a laptop with beefier hardware... video card for example... but three button trackpad? I'll never go back to pc laptop trackpads/whatever.
Neglecting software, that's the one thing that drives me nuts moving away from my macbook pro: two buttons and certain areas on the track pad to scroll or some horrifying scroll button... How is that better than scrolling with two fingers and right clicking with two fingers? I have one button for my track pad and I never even use that. I'd be fine if they took it out. Except for gaming, I actually prefer to use the macbook pro track pad to a mouse.
It is much harder to find a job than to keep one.
