QDB: Quote #605932

What got rejected? This:

Me: The interface [XP's] is just unbearable.
Me: Just look at the font rendering on OS X compared to XP.
MK2: They both look like characters
Me: Margaret Thatcher and Jessica Alba both look like women.
Me: which one is easier on the eyes?
MK2: If you're half-blind....
Me: checks his vision, "I can clearly see that one
is old and withered."
Me: XP =  Thatcher.
Me: OS X = Jessica.
Mware: lol
Mware: "Margaret Thatcher and Jessica Alba both look like women."
Mware: perfect
Mware: To take the analogy further, it would be as if
Margaret Thatcher had all kinds of advertising and third-party
PR hack firms spreading propaganda saying that Margaret
Thatcher was more beautiful than Jessica Alba.
Mware: And people believed it.

    You know why it was rejected? Because there’s no homophobic content!

    Grrr.

    Suddenly Bash lost some appeal…

    Or maybe it’s a sign that ge are older. Much older…

    I used my brother’s XP machine a few times this weekend
    such such horrors
    the biggest downside 256MB of ram
    which means that IE loading itself at boot is bad enough
    but they use AOL and AOL9 loads itself at boot as well
    and seemingly every single program installed feels the need to put itself into the system tray down by the clock
    I know seriously
    even with the nice strict file structure OS X tries to make you use there’s so much more freedom
    like only n00bs download directly to the desktop
    but that seems standard on Windows
    ALSO!
    AOL9 installs a spyware scanner, a computer check up program and a search bar/quick launch in the task bar
    about 1/3rd of their launch bar was for actual window buttons
    my least favorite part is the system tray
    the part of the task bar where the clock is
    every program feels the need to install a control widget down there
    imagine if Apple opened up the API for the menu bar programs and everything you install feels the need to place something there
    and imagine it wasn’t easy to remove, having to navigate a myriad of arcane pmenus or dialogs
    OR
    even worse
    having to launch the program and finding where they hid it
    IF they even made it an option
    Furthermore XPSP2 didn’t seem to have a native driver for the GeForce MX 2 card in their Dell.
    So I installed the driver and got smooth scrolling goodness.
    But the driver install installed something into the system tray!

    While I am a user and staunch advocate for OSX… I would not say it is like Jessica Alba. Catherine Zeta Jones- as it is gorgeous as well as graceful.
    A woman all men find pretty is one thing- but a woman another woman finds beautiful is truly special.
    Same thing with an OS.

    i have been a windoze luser up intill last april…
    then i descoverd ubuntu ^_^
    i got tired of the lack of memory due to antivirus apps,ie loading at boot and spyware that would corrupt the tcp/ip and winsock files
    then i had to have the popup blocker and the spyware programs..or i would get so much shit on my system that it would become sluggesh and run like crap.
    i diden’t pay good money to build my computer to have stupid apps clog the hard drive and memory up with worthless crap.
    then i decided to read M$ EULA and was i amazed at the bullshit i saw there. now theres a document thats fit to use as tolet paper
    the box as well seeing as even though you payed $199 for haxp pro you don’t really own it. they can tell you to take it off your computer and you have to….what a ripp off good thing i never actually payed for that stupid os….
