For those of you with a bit of tech-humor, you'll probably find this as hysterical as I did.

It's so true but. I love my Linux as much as the next man (and use it all the time), but once you've gone from Windows to Mac, for general PC usage, there's no going back.

Nice one
@zanza: finally a dude that watches family guy around here. I'm not the only one that sees myself through it times to times xDD
Well if the guy was a competent Linux user he could've done all that just as fast as the Mac user. I have to admit, Mac is nice if all you're doing on the computer is simple programming (Obj-C, Python, etc) and web design and pictures and music and web and stuff, but I love windows. It has a variety of different programming languages, can run a ton of games and most games are written for it before Mac and Linux, and has the most user support out of the three. It also is easiest to hack on. It has a ton of hacking programs and tools written for it, and if you ever need linux for a tool you can just pull up VirtualBox and run a virtual linux machine.
I see no one heeded the 'fictional' plain-text part of my thread title. This is not a true story. It's just folklore.
Also, Flareboy, no offense but you sound like a skiddy. In theory, it's actually easier to "hack" on Linux anyway. Everything is pretty much there whereas in Windows you have to download bloatware/binaries.
On Linux, unless you're using something like BackTrack 5, you have to download everything... and who cares if its binaries? I aint even mad.Quote:

Unnecessarily programming something that's already been done. Sounds like an exercise if futility.Quote:

Sometimes reinventing the wheel has its perks. In this case, it holds a subtle point: under Linux, generally things like Python/Perl come installed by default. On the contrary for Windows--you have to install most if not everything pertaining to programming.
If you knew how to program, which OS would be more beneficial for "hacking"? I thought it would be a no-brainer as to what would be a better option out of Linux and Windows in regard to the subject matter anyway.
Well it also depends on what you're hacking. If you're hacking web servers, then yes - you should probably know a fair amount about Linux (Though you should also know about windows for the dumb Microsoft ISS web host). But if you're hacking SQL Servers, or personal computers, or something of the like, then I would recommend knowing Windows over Linux.Quote:

you have much to learn, young padawon.
Considering Windows is the most popular OS, its what I would focus on if I was attacking PCs.Quote:

SQL isn't native to anything. That's the whole point of it.
When Mac gets on industry standards so that buy a new Mac is not the only way to improve the hardware, when HDMI and ports get added, when they aren't using a lockedup version of Linux that they don't bother to beta test, when their whole interface isn't stupid, and when Mac users stop thinking the sun shines out of their ass then and only then while I coincided that a Mac is worth any thing.
"Mac's so initiative, Steve Jobs is a genius." Yeah, great you can create new markets. You wouldn't have to do that if you didn't promptly suck ass in a market once you established. Also you think they'd figure out patenting! They get design patents but not utility, so in a month of creating iwhatever there are 20 knockoff with features the mac users want but Apple takes four gens to release. Of course the user base doesn't care they just throw there money away every time Mac decides a product's life cycle has ended. Plus they aren't do any thing better than another OS or system and it took them years to get on the same page.
Sidenote: the transparency of your dock does not equal customization.

And the interface is hardly stupid. Apple put a lot of money and research in to UI development, and tend to set trends while Microsoft just react to them. Most Apple devices are intuitive to use.
Yes, actually, I kind of did. Notice:Quote:

lol. Given you can create a web server in about 5 lines of code, I'd say it'd be possible in just about any platform <:Quote:

I don't know what guys you're referring to but yes, it was completed. Though, I've got to implement the new algorithm, since Neopets have started being crafty and manipulating the images by rotating, etc.Quote:
