PC Won

[Pride]

Pancreatic Cancer > Steve Jobs

 

[Jesse]

I heard better Steve Job jokes on facebook.

 

[Pride]

So demanding.

 

[pjoa09]

Yeah! I'm going back to Facebook and just see all the RIP and repeated quotes.

C seems to be getting the best of everyone. Ruby ought to shine now.

 

[Pride]

Why did the dead baby cross the road?

Because I love Jesse.

 

[Roran]

*cringes* Guuuhhh. Damn. That was an awful joke.

 

[Cognisant]

Pride I understand where this humour is stemming from and I can even see some justification for it as an embodiment of free speech, that regardless whatever consensus INTPforum as a community comes to you have the right to your opinion and to express it regardless wether it may be socially acceptable or not.

However I don't believe you're acting under any pretence of justification at all, put simply you're trolling, now I don't mean to imply any forthcoming intervention on my part, I'm just saying I think you're making a mistake, which doesn’t matter all that much, what does matter is what you think, so, what do you think?

 

[Pride]

I do have a pretense. My best friend's father is the director of research at the Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, WA.

 

[Cognisant]

Director of research

What does he actually do, if anything?
Aside from reviewing other company's innovations to see if they're worth purchasing

Like mac did with linux?

 

[Cognisant]

Pfft, nobody really owns linux

 

[grey matters]

I'm not an Apple fan. I had two ipod clip thingies. That was enough to inoculate me against the companies products. I am still tempted from time to time by the cool apps and the friendly graphics that smile at me but I remember my inoculation and realize that it's better to have something that works like I want it to than to have a cute little toy that smiles at me and promises to be my friend...provided I pay out the ass and stay within a limited group of products that I may or may not like.

I just had a debate with someone about the merits of PCs over macs. She told me to shut up because Steve Jobs died recently...

I still won, though.

This is his profile (my best friend's father, that is):

[Picopico]

Meh, you are bluffing. You aren't actually insensitive. You are having remorse. I know you are.

 

[Pride]

If I told you, I'd have to kill you.

 

[The Gopher]

Pfft, nobody really owns linux

Yup nobody owns linux just keep thinking that way and we will get along fine.

Macs work way easier and more efficient than PCs.

Let the flamewar begin.

 

[grey matters]

Well I'm glad I never actually paid for my ipod clippy thingies. I won them in a contest.

PC = Practical Computer

 

[Akuma]

Poor Steve Jobs, without him we wouldn't have the lovely [SIZE=-1]D478,999staircase[/SIZE].
Just before anyone gets hasty, Macs are technically PCs (Personal Computer)

I'm not a fan of Apple ever since I bought an iPod 4 years ago...
(I don't hate Apple, just itunes)

Apple computers are like bikes. Easy to use for the newbie, very safe, and limited customization options and programs.

PC's are like motorcycles. Much harder to use, much less safe, but massively more customizable with a larger pool of usable programs.
