Guess what, I used both. They are meh. And VERY overpriced. The only thing they are for them is that they are improvement over windows systems, who are downright terrible, and easier to use that other UNIX-like systems. But it's generally not worth the price, except if your time is really precious. And that you have no invective to learn a bit of informatics.
Linux and open source stuff tends to break after a while as well. I mean, I've used GNOME for about a year (until the GNOME 3 update in the spring), and I can't say I had a pleasant time trying to fix its various components whenever some other components were updated. Same goes for those Android phones, I've tried using Samsung's newest gadgets, but the user experience is never as good what you get on the iPhone. Also, Apple's stuff may be overpriced, but in my opinion, they are well worth it.

Meh never got why apple product were a big deal : pretty much overpriced gadget which allowed you to do nothing WITH STYLE. And to use an UNIX-like kernel in an easy environment I guess.
As for Job himself, the way apple ran his thing doesn't make me think highly of the guys. On that respect, I'd rather Google's founders.
You clearly have never used an iPhone or a Mac before. Me and my Dad used to think the same thing, but then he got us both iPhones, and later he even had his laptop replaced with a Macbook. They're amazing.

Life Advice / Re: Upgrading Windows XP to Windows 7

Microsoft has a nice tutorial on the subject.

Also, instead of getting a second hard drive, if your disk is large enough, you can split it into two partitions, back everything up on one partition, upgrade, move everything back, and merge the two partitions.

Life Advice / I need help finding the name of a short story
« on: September 26, 2011, 01:19:04 pm »
I've recently read a short story, I don't know its name, nor am I sure what language it was written in originally. I'd say it's either in English or in Spanish. It's about God and Michael having a talk. God tells Michael he's disappointed in mankind, and destroys all living things. He then gives Michael the power to recreate the world and disappears saying that there's hope when man is gone. It's also mentioned that God takes the shape of a kangaroo when he reveals himself to Michael.

Does this ring any bells? I've tried Googling a shitload of phrases in the past hour and got nothing

I can see that, but how do I prove they're parallel?

AB and CD are two equal chords in a circle. They meet at point E outside of the circle (AE > AB...), how do I prove that BE = DE?

Life Advice / Re: Difference between a "Method" "Class" and "Object" (Java)?

An object, or instance, or instance object, or class object, or whatever, is what a class defines. When you actually use that class to make a THING, this is what you make.

An object is a chunk of memory that can be manipulated through various commands. Objects can be values, variables, functions, structs, unions, classes or whatever. Simply put, an object can be found to the left of an equals sign.

Code: [Select]
int a = 10; // "int" is a type, "a" is an object, and "10" is the value assigned to your object.

Pentium III?

Also yeah, this sucker has been through a whole lot. It ran Windows 2000, XP, and later Linux. I also added some hardware in 2006. I was thinking of having it replaces with a MacBook a while back.
