Regular strength, cask strength, as long as it's at least 12 years old, and not Fine Oak, I'll take it.

So I'm not exactly a picky Macallan drinker.

Your answer is fucking worthless after the fact insight.

The fact is the shit is not backed up, the user wants is back, and is trying to repair the drive after the fact.

So telling them to back their shit up is completely irrelevant to the issue at hand.

Forget MacGruber, the only Mac that had any interest to me is The Macallan.

No shit.

But it's still not enough to make me switch back to fedora, ubuntu, kubuntu, or gentoo.

How about fixing the red exit button so that when I click it the application actually exits, and doesn't keep running in the background, so I have to exit it again, and the confirm?

And before I hear the whiners say:"That's what its supposed to do". I say inability to exit the application with one click is a fucking bug.

The kids aren't as bad as their parents are.

I hope they get the full billion+ lawyers fees.

I also hope the GS representatives are charged with felony fraud, and their assets frozen so they have to rely on disinterested public defenders.

Yeah, I can dream.

Apple's not cool anymore.

With their domination of the tablet market, the fanatical following of their phones, and the dominance of the portable music devices, not to mention their obsession with being cool; these factors can only lead me to one conclusion: Apple is not cool anymore.

Simply because its not cool to be part of the herd. And The Cult of the Fruit is one big herd.

So you're telling me that you're going to accept a judges opinion on what's cool?

I'm friends with a few judges and retired judges, nice guys, but I'm not taking advice on what's cool from them.

I have one and I agree 100% with the GP.

It was killed by the Democrats, because Ronny Raygun, Bush I and rest of the cut taxes while spending more money Republicans put us way the fuck in debt.

So what?

You want to build an app for IOS, sell it for a buck or 5 and act like a pro.

If you want to give it away as portfolio material so someone might give you a job. The stop whining and spend the $100 as a cost of education. Maybe you'll get a job or maybe not. But its still a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of money you don't make by not having a job, or the amount of money you spend getting an education.

$99 is a drop in the bucket. How do you recoup the $100/hr that you as an independent contractor should be charging for your labor?

Unless of course your time isn't worth anything.
