Gee, so subtle
One thing PC users can do that Mac users can’t: STFU – TheBestPageInTheUniverse.net: This website has a pretty conceited name, are you ready to make some rebuttals or do you approve?
Ever notice how most Mac users are skinny? It’s because of all the calories they burn because they can’t STFU about how great their Macs are. What is it about Apple that makes its users unable to shut their mouths? Everywhere I go, there’s another asshole with a Mac preaching about how much better Macs are than PCs. They regurgitate lines directly from Apple’s marketing campaign, like “it just works.” I have the following rebuttals to this argument:
1. If everything on a Mac just works, then why does a website called “Mac fix it” exist, assholes? Here are a few choice topics on macfixitforums.com:
-Login window stuck!
-lower caSe “S” key not working!!
-Menu bar keeps flashing
-I can’t drag and drop!
Waaaah, boo hoo! I can’t drag and drop! Dumbass. Looks like your Macs aren’t perfect after all, which leads me to my second point:
I hope this guy doesn’t work at Dell’s tech support.

I don’t know why Mac users get so defensive when you call them idiots. I mean, Apple is a company that has built its entire user base around the fact that its users can’t do simple things like turn their computers on. Hell, most Mac users can’t even talk without using their hands, which ranks their intelligence somewhere between a simian and hog hit
Now that Apple has moved to Intel products, they have no advantage over an average PC. If you buy a top of the line Macbook Pro then you’re paying $1500 for OSX.
Not in my experience. I am a Windows/Dell user since the 80′s. Been very happy. In December when it came time to upgrade my laptop, I went with a MacBook Pro 15″.
I found that when I compared a Dell Lat D800 to the MBP when matched feature for feature, they were the same price, or pretty damn close.
So because of my recent interest in digital SLR photography, I opted for the MacBook Pro with WinXP under Parallels.
And trust me…. Mac’s and OSX are not perfect. I’ve had just as much tweaking and annoyances with OSX as I have with WinXP.
#36. I never did how anyone could be a fanboy of any OS. I mean, geez, people, get a grip.

#35, I agree. Maddox has been doing what can best be described as extreme satire for years. He has a book deal: “The Alphabet Of Manliness” is available at Amazon. Good stuff, don’t take it so seriously.
Mac users are not skinny because they waste calories bragging how good their macs are:
THEY ARE SKINNY BECAUSE THEY PAID 3 TIMES MORE FOR THE SAME HARDWARE PCs USE AND THUS THEY RAN OUT OF MONEY FOR FOOD.
Mac users are vegetarian not by choice at first BUT BECAUSE VEGETABLES ARE CHEAPER THAN MEAT.
maddox could kick john’s ass any day of week.
For those of you who seem to think this is a private rant on a small site, I point you to alexa. His highest traffic rank of all time is a 4000 and he is regularly between 6000 and 8000. His worst day is about equal to Johns best day. And if his site looks outdated it is because it is old and they guy is an old school unix guy (read no idea about UI, but I have always liked the black background).
As for content, don’t judge him on this article, it wasn’t up to his usual standard (too much overused bashing and not enough sarcasm). If you want to read some high quality stuff read the ‘F*** Idaho’ article.

“Get up on the wrong side of the bed??? Trashing the place because your hemorrhoids are acting up??? For “God’s sake” its a blog. Its informal.
…
If someone makes a common error so what !!! Why don’t you just sue them instead of sharing your obnoxious bile.”
I swear, there are times when you go so dim that the Hubble fucking Telescope couldn’t detect you if you were in orbit 20 feet away.
“I’m not sure who wants to hear such childish cry baby whiny shit, but I don’t.”
And the reason I should give two fucks about what you want to hear is…?
I handed you your silly PC ass on a platter on two other threads. Since you were, as usual, incapable of refuting my statements, you just slithered away in silence, fuming. Here you saw an opportunity for payback for being once again exposed as a brainwashed PC ‘tard, so yet again, incapable of learning your lesson, you inject yourself into a conversation between grownups and commence to shooting your mouth off without Clue One to what’s actually going on.
If you read the back-and-forth between me and Mr. J, you must be terminally dense to not notice I was fucking with him, and he took it in the same spirit, you flaming idiot. Who actually says ‘for the love of God’ when poking at an error in spelling or grammar? Was the ‘cranky’ reference to the previous thread too subtle for you? Do you know what a ‘smiley’ is? That little face thingy there?
“…and while we’re at it,
“‘
That’sa, I say, that’sa JOKE, son! (Boy’s elevator don’t exackly go to the top, if ya knowwhatimean…) Since you don’t get out much, I’ll explain, as I would to a slow child, that’s a quote from Foghorn Leghorn.
Next time, for a change of pace, why not try standing up like a mensch and at least make some kind of lame attempt to defend your moronic statements in the thread you make them in, instead of this chickenshit sneaking away, hiding in the bushes in an unrelated thread, then jumping out – with a rubber knife?
For someone who admits to being morally vacant enough to actually permit their 7-y.o. girl to be exposed to brain-rotting ‘hip-hop’ sewage, instead of something trying to instill something culturally and morally uplifting, you sure are judgemental! I mean, dang!
“Since you don’t get out much, I’ll explain, as I would to a slow child, that’s a quote from Foghorn Leghorn.”
I’m not defending anyone here, but in order to know a foghorn leghorn quote, one would have to spend a lot of time not going out.

I’m sorry you feel that way. You have a nasty habit of posting useless, long, off topic, blowhard, rambling essays. You blow up solely because you have a hemorrhoid problem. You don’t discuss their points, you attack the person. You do the Rovian trick of invention in order to defame and smear. Why? Probably because you can’t discuss the merits so you resort to the flame crap.
You bested me twice? No. You wrote long winded rants totally off topic about crap I never said. You showed all, the true you. The inner you. Just like your post #48. Lacking in substance, clarity, or purposeful subject matter. You are a bully who can’t compete equally. You don’t like what I wrote? Then just throw some bull shit into the mix and proclaim it all true according to the word of ghotti. ALL HAIL LAUREN, MASTER OF THE MAC.
You take minutia and turn it into a capitol offense. For example you find something extremely disturbing about allowing my daughter to listen to hip-hop, a point taken out of context from another blog some time ago. Obviously you are unaware that kids her age do listen to it. Maybe you associate that with some evil intent or bad parenting. Too bad. First, I encourage my daughter to learn through experience (under guidance). The second is that you have no idea what kids do today or the quality of their experiences. Third, you have no idea the type or quality of hip-hop her age group listen to.
And you have the audacity to call others moronic, dense, a “tard” (last heard on the kindergarten playground) and idiot? BTW, the Hubble Telescope wouldn’t even see you if you were 20 feet in front of it. There is this little thing in optics called focus. Look it up so you can really feel superior. Then you can apply that to your posts.
All computers are a tool. Windows is a very good, although imperfect, operating system. Apple products are cultist and overpriced; good but over rated by their owners. Linux is good, very affordable and almost there.
“You have a nasty habit of posting useless, long, off topic, blowhard, rambling essays. You blow up solely because you have a hemorrhoid problem.”
Again, not defending anyone, but if someone suffered from hemorrhoids, it could not stand beind sitting down as long as needed to write such long rants.
