chick webb tracts

Now there's a thought.  I guess you use them to drum up interest in religion.

HAW HAW HAW

if you want the government to wipe your ass, move to the E.U.

Fuck no, I want deregulation and capitalism until we're as much of a 3rd world country as Haiti, so your ass can get buried in rubble and then I'll fuck*ng kick your dead feet stickin' out of the rubble and be all yelling and shit and be like "how do you fuckin' like your anti-thesis of socialism now, mr. koolayd???" and I'll post it on you tube and I'll get one of those fuckin' video picture frames at walmart and I'll put in on there and I'll duct tape the frame to your toumbstone or more likely mass grave as the case may be.

thanks for properly (i hope?) reading the sarcasm.

okay wait what?  I guess then my post was sarcastic too

[JorgeFabregas]

but geez, Apple's design philosophy is idiotic in some ways... like how it takes so much work and technical expertise and therefore expense to replace the battery in an iphone.

It's intentional. They make it hard to upgrade/modify their devices so that they can have a smooth form factor or whatever and so that you have pay them to fix anything or just buy a new thingy. Did you ever notice that there's no micro-SD slot on any Apple device? Isn't that the easiest/cheapest way to upgrade solid state storage space?

so which is more evil -- Apple's planned obsolescence in hardware, or Microsoft's planned obsolescence in software?

[Mr Trout]

Microsoft's upgrade cycle is a helluva lot friendlier than Apple's

[AugustWest]

I can continue using Microsoft's outdated software -- XP's still working fine for me, thanks.  When my pretty little piece of Apple hardware quits working, I'm screwed.

Yeah, as late as 2008, I was using a computer with Windows 98 on it.

It didn't work PERFECTLY but it served my minimum needs.

Whereas my girlfriend is on iPod... three?... in four years?

[wombat]

People expect Microsoft to suck. It's the magic of lowered expectations.

How many macbooks has she gone through? my friends who have macbooks from 4 years ago are all doing fine.

an ipod is a tiny, portable device. come on.

my windows computer is basically like living in hell a lot of the time. it cannot do basic tasks.
lately the new thing is that it opens a million programs when I turn it on, and when I tell it not to open them, it says I need to be the Administrator to do that. I am the administrator.
I don't get at this point the complaining that is like... everyone says your ipod will only last two years, and then I bought one, and it only lasted two years.

also: microsoft can't have "planned hardware obsolescence" because microsoft does not make hardware. at least, not computer-bodies.

[pmcd9]

My ipod lasted approximately 18 months...before I lost it.
