Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change,
the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the
bodies of those I had to kill because they pissed me off.

Nope, chrisv is the stupid one for sure here...

Learn what MAC means... hint: there is no computer called a MAC.

MAC stands for... Machine Access Control

So the joke once again is on chrisv!

Learn even simple computer terminology or don't post again.

crossposting is quite accepted on usenet, as long as all groups are
relevant.

windows vista groups are because vista now runs faster on a mac than on
a pc, and linux is since many of those users are looking for a way out
of the mess that linux has become.

just trying to help!

Its true Linux runs faster than Appil macs.

Its cheaper too.

Go get a decent PC and install some free Linux.

More eye candy than anything appil payees (retardees) are used to.

Search http://www.youtube.com for compiz and beryl and see what I mean!

And you know what its all free with source code!

poor Peter, doesn't even understand that qwest could care less about
someone posting the truth to usenet. I'm located in a FREE SPEECH
country, not an ignorant, backwards country like Germany.

so whatever i say is protected by law, qwest can't / won't do a thing
about it since they are upheld against the 1st amendment.

so learn how to take honest information and help yourself, learn from
me... i won't quit for another 50+ years... so make me your teacher to
better yourself... or get out of your ignorant country... you have a
choice!

Nothing you EVER post in this newsgroup is relevant.

Not in common use it's not. Only highly tweaked Linux code is faster
than OSX.

When did that happen? Macs are far cheaper if you have a real job /
don't have time to goof around. Macs are the best choice for
professionals for that reason alone. It seems only the unemployed use
Linux, isn't that interesting...

> Go get a decent PC and install some free Linux.

And what would be a decent PC? compared to a similarly price Mac? Opps,
there are none. That's the beauty of going with the correct solution
from the start. You gain money that way... PCs are just slapped
together, but Apple spends TONS of time to make sure even the slightest
detail is double checked for a lifetime of service.

> More eye candy than anything appil payees (retardees) are used to.

Apple spends time on the deeper aspects of computing, eye candy has
never been their aim. Sure, Macs work better than PCs or Linux, we all
know that, but it's rooted in that Apple spends so much time making sure
the the machine works perfectly from the eyeball to the finger tip,
Windows and Linux simply don't have the engineering resources to pay
attention to every detail like Apple does.

Great, and it all runs on Macs... thanks for the links, even though you
are losing about 50% of the Mac if you try and run Linux on them.

Quality is Apple's aim, and Linux simply can't measure up.

Just out of curiosity does this actually mean something or have some

For $3,000.00 dollars, I'll bet I could configure a Dell laptop to run
faster than that macbook.

"...to show the downfall of ..."
I am not sure how.

It does give another hardware option for Windows users thus in a small
way increasing the value of Windows.
The greater flexibility for Windows installations can only be good for
Microsoft, Windows and Windows users since Windows can run on more
hardware.
there are more choices and choice is good for consumers.
Perhaps Microsoft owes thanks the Mac for increasing the value of
their product.

Microsoft does not sell hardware and where users get their hardware
makes little difference to Microsoft.
If users get their hardware with Windows, it is normally OEM with a
smaller price tag and margin of profit.
If users acquire their own hardware be it a Mac or something else,
then they purchase Windows themselves at a higher cost.

Thats why my Macbook Pro has an annoying Bright white pixel dead in
the middle of the screen that Apple will do nothing about, they claim
it is acceptable. All the $399.00 Acers I have bought at work for
salesman use have had perfect screens.

No, it is not. However, I am seeing this thread on comp os linux
advocacy (which has a serious infestation of pro-M$ trolls, some of them
possibly paid astrturfers). It is extensively cross posted.
People on COLA can get a bit paranoid about nymshifting trolls being
everywhere because we have such turds as Gary Stewart AKA flatfish, who
maintains over 300 nyms.

no jerry, apple will fix a stuck on pixel if you just ask.

sounds like you have never talked or shown them the manufacturing flaw.

Yet not a single one has ever been proved.
However, High Plains Drifter, Roy Culley, Peter Kohlmann and others
have been caught red handed trolling.
Why the double standard?

the point oxford, is if 'even the slightest detail is double checked,' as
was the claim, why does jerry even need to ask, as it would have been
caught.

bet is on, you are forgetting apple builds the fastest laptop in the
world. dell, since it does no engineering, nor board design can't begin
to compete at apple's level.

so yes, go ahead and try and build a faster laptop using dell "chopshop"
components. this will be a hoot to watch you try!

it's no different than you trying to outclass Ferrari, from parts out of
a AutoZone...

gosh, MVP's are more stupid than anyone thought...

So do most manufacturers.
They ALL have criteria regarding stuck/dead pixels.

My advice?
If it's under warranty, stick it in the microwave for 15
seconds..........
