Here are some of the issues so far. Installing software sucks. It comes in different file formats and how it gets done varies wildly based on where I get it from. It's confusing as all get out. Without a package manager I guess updates will be on a per software basis and apparently uninstalling means removing the program and then hunting down any bits it leaves behind. That's pretty idiotic.

As it ever was, as it ever shall be. Probably the most infuriating thing about the Apple philosophy, and shocking that it's a holdover from the classic days.

I had a hard core Mac guy try to explain to me why this was better.

How cute. Would love to know what crap he came up with.

Because only Americans live and work in France.

Not to mention the fact that you're dealing with teenagers in this scenario, and simplest (condoms) is best.

This is a good question? That's like asking why people tell you to take aspirin for headache instead of eating a carrot.

Thank you for spoiling Enders Game.

While we're at it let's make a stamp of Adolf Hitler. He also was a bad person who advanced technology.

Considering your UID, yes it is.

They're all brown people, so it's basically the same thing. Untwist your panties.

Wow, you really suck at this.
