Actually, linux is slightly less effective for porn viewing, as its compatibility with flash is somewhat lacking.

WTF? Why is mac better a playing videogames than linux? And mac better at hacking than windows? And the video production does mostly rely on the program u use, not that much at the OS.

Wrong, asshat… Macs are just as easy to crack a Mac as it is to crack a PC. The reason they aren’t cracked as often is because there isn’t enough valuable information to be gleaned from doing so for there to be a reasonable ROI. If ever Apple gained the current level of popularity with the general populace which PCs currently enjoy, Mac will be just as plagued with malware and hackers/crackers as Windows. The inevitable will then occur; both Windows and Macintosh will crumble under the general superiority of user-friendly Linux distros, such as Ubuntu, and both will receive federal bailout money from King Obama, i meant President Lenin… Damn Freudian slips.

I guarantee you that Microsoft never told their own users to seek other browsers. Quit making stuff up, doesn’t make someone smart. Secondly, IE isn’t that unsecure, I’ve never had a single problem with it. So unless you feel like backing up your claims, don’t bother talking at all.

And Scott, I loved the last comment you made. It’s true, it’s soo true…

ok, i agree that linux is the best for hacking.
but let me give you 3 REASONS why windows rapes mac in the hacking section

#1. Cain and Abel
#2. CMD > Terminal
#3. ophCrack

now 3 reasons why windows gets raped by linux

#1. WAY EASIER TO WRITE CODE (ex: perl, ruby, python ect.)
#2. dosent crash while you are trying to write a script, and you get halfway through it and you haven’t saved…
#3. open source programs like metasploit, SATAN, SARA, and ettercap run faster and (in my opinion) are more effective on linux

Windows is not good at hacking because its user-friendliness.
Linux is best at watching porn because there is no parental control.

Right. That is why IE was declared so unsecure by Microsoft that customers should seek out other browsers….and unlike Macs the browser is a fundamental unit of the OS

Whaaaaa? My home computer is linux and works flawlessly. My work computer is windows and I spend more time killing frozen applications and rebooting than actually working. Mac…never really used.

Linux isn’t hard, it just makes the (possibly unfair) assumption that you’re not an idiot.

For once I wish Mac users would just own up and admit why they use a machine
with ridiculous markup and proprietary parts.
Because they look cool in Starbucks writing their screen plays and STICKING IT
TO BIG EVIL MICROSOFT.

…and ironically, atm Windows has no Bill Gates and Apple has no Steve Jobs!
The thing is tho, Linux has the potential to gain tons of users who are disgruntled with the win/apple systems. IMO Linux doesn’t need a leader, just a rebranding from ‘geek friendly’ to ‘gramma friendly’ (but still with the cool geeky stuff for those brave enough).

i loved that comment above. Mac and Linux are way better for watching pr0n. Unless while you are watching porn you are installing windows again on another machine to actually finish watching that asian video. Also, linux does not sux at video editing. Did you know that Wall-e was made in linux?

Actually windows doesn’t assume you’re retarded. It tells you what to do and expects you to understand. Linux doesn’t even tell you what to do because it assumes you’re smart enough to figure it out on your own. OSX app designers often complain about how much time they have to spend dumbing down applications and making things shine and move even when they aren’t doing anything to keep the attention of the average mac buyer. Ease of use definitely leans towards mac but that’s because linux is basically hunt the animal butcher it and then cook it yourself. Windows is microwav your own burrito and mac is being fed jello by a kindly elderly nurse who’ll wipe your chin when you dribble.

Windows: assumes you are completely retarded, tells you what to do, and doesn’t tell you how to do it.
*nix: is completely retarded, can’t do anything at all without exact commands and perfect coding, assumes you are a genius.
OSX: looks pretty, does other pretty-looking things.

OSX is better for “doing” hacking – that’s what the graph means.
Windows is better for hacking “into” – that should have been another column, but is pretty obvious, yes?

Probably because it’s based on BSD and is easier to port tools over to it from *nix based systems. Like, for instance, Leopard uses the Bash terminal.

I have linux on my main pc, theres plenty of video editing suites for it. and plenty of opensource games (Tremulous anyone?) I’ve even got steam running on my linux box! on the other hand I also have a windows xp laptop. I use this mostly for gaming just because hardware wise its more powerful. I won’t comment on a mac because I’ve only used them a few times and didn’t really see anything special about it.
Also I don’t want to buy the apple brand, I’m (note the I’m and not the you’re) better off building a linux box than I am buying an expensive Macintosh computer. I also tried vista a few times but I found it to not give me the same freedoms XP did, and it has a hell of a lot of features (that I cannot disable) I’ll never use. I also believe vista is very cluttered.

I prefer Final Cut Studio on a Mac Pro for editing, but I do my Adobe After Effects work on a souped up custom windows machine.

I found the Mac version of AE a little too flaky, and maybe I could have fixed it, but not when clients are waiting. Which is always.

All operating systems suck. Occasionally, I wish computers were never invented.

Linux: nothing works, but at least it’s possible to find out why.
Windows: usually works, but when something goes wrong, you’re screwed.
Mac: usually works, but only because it’s not really possible to do much with it.

@MoshBat: “and I found it’s working to be illogical”.
You found it’s logic not the same as your logic? ‘cos you’re used to XP? Hmm.
I was a windows user since I was 7. Last year I bought a Mac.
I’ve loved it ever since, although I keep my PC Desktop still for the games.
Oh, and the blue nightlight

I’ve found with Apple products, you’ve actually got to think to solve problems with it,
Instead of just getting the “computer guy” (Me, in my community) to fix it, ‘cos whatever you do, it just fails.

I mainly changed to Mac BECAUSE of Vista coming out.
I anticipated everything changing to only Vista compatible, and nothing working o my XP any more.
Boy was I wrong. Turns out the smart people hate Vista too!

Bais. I’m doing it right.
