My math was bad. I've been reading Slashdot since late 1997.

I've been reading Slashdot for over fifteen years. The quality has been going downhill for almost ten years. This site is unrecognizable compared with its late 90s version.

What a difference 13 years makes. The Slashdot of 1999 wouldn't recognize itself.

Come on new Mac Pros!

I can credit DARE as the number one reason I took LSD for the first time. I wasn't really aware of hallucinogens prior to DARE and the whole "Just Say No" campaign. I found the idea of having a dream-like state while awake to be fascinating. It seemed like magic, and I couldn't wait to get my hands on some LSD or shrooms. It took me a few years (until my freshman year of high school), but I took acid as early as I was able to find it. I must say, DARE didn't disappoint at all!

Wake me up with they have the same attitude toward XBOX mods.

Sure, you can write open source software with Visual Studio, but you can also write open source software with Xcode on a Mac.

The OP complained about closed source and immediately mentions Visual Studio. Good luck getting the source code for Visual Studio or Windows. A successful open source troll would deride Visual Studio and Windows for the very same reason they criticize the Mac.

Did you actually just use "Linux and open source" and "Visual Studio" in the same post?

Other than the overheating issue, I haven't had a single problem with my 2009 Mac Pro's Firewire, PCI Express, or RAID performance. If the 2009 Mac Pro is a dog, it's an insanely fast dog.

You "doubt Apple will release XCode for the tablet"? That's crazy. Of course they're going to release it. I think they'll release it TODAY.
