God, I use PCs at home and Macs at work. I absolutely loathe clicking FORCE QUIT on Pro Tools when it freezes (every 2 minutes). I have to click 20 times without it doing anything, with this fucking beachball laughing at me, pretending everything's alright and "just works". Give me a good old "CTRL+ALT+DEL, Processes, click on Pro Tools, Delete" any time of the day :) Ugly, but it works.

The maximum amount paid for a bug is 1,377$ ? I guess someone at google played too much CS.

They have no interest in making sucky products and anything that masses of people buy almost definition cannot be a superior experience.

They have no qualms about selling sucky products, though. Have you visited the app store?

Well wether he sees a doctor or not, he still has diabetes. So yeah, that's pretty retarded.

IANAEE (I Am Not An Electrical Engineer) Pardon my possible stupidity, but what was keeping us from putting the RAM a few feet from the CPU? The way I understand it, electrons don't move much slower than light. Of course you might lose current.

Yes, but they had to deal with a fraction of the traffic they get now, while only displaying text and a few 100x100 gifs.

Amen, brother. Amen. Once I was working the sound system for a DJs night and one of them kept calling me a pussy for wearing earplugs. I blasted a 15 kHz sine in his monitoring headphones and told him that's what I heard 24/7 because I wasn't a pussy before. He stopped doing it :)

Your run-of-the-mill night club or rock show already causes permanent hearing damage, it's not that hard to do.

I don't know if you've played Resident Evil 5, but the Coop mode, apart from the fscked up menus, was a blast AND it followed the story. Basically your computer controlled partner in the game is playable by a friend OTI or on the couch next to you. "OK, blast their legs and I'll slash em til I have more ammo! 2 IN YOUR BACK QUICK! *BLAM*"

i.e. Every fucking man on this planet. Some are vocal about it, and some are in denial, but the truth is, girls at this age ARE attractive.

Thought about it really hard and...you know what, death penalty. I wouldnt care who it was. If you get turned on by children, you deserve to die.

So you buy the expensive Microsoft Approved (tm) mouse that sells twice it's real value, with strange proprietary connectors, that's why.
