Pugwash

... and he PMed me today to say "Never a personal attack on Replicat! (Klink makes amends for being a [censored]..)" So, he offers an olive branch and rips off my work at the same time.

I'd like a pony.

Glad to be of service.

To win at Poker, others have to lose. In a dwindling economy, people have less to lose and you end up preying on the addicts and the stupid; not where I'd want a career. Still, good luck, I wish you all the best. Great telling of the tale, by the way.

Mac OSX is the best desktop operating system available. I would love to hear of any desktop operating system that's better, as I would switch to it in a heartbeat. Remember, I manage servers for a living, and am fluent in most current UNIXes and Windows variants. There's nothing better than Mac OSX on a laptop or desktop. As for the hardware, the electronics are now commodity electronics, yet the cases are Apple design; some of the finest mass-market industrial design in the industry. Have you ever added a hard drive to a Mac Pro? Have you ever marvelled at the interior of a G5 Power Mac? Stuff other companies assume doesn't matter yet Apple takes care. The new MacBooks are visibly direct ancestors to the ground-breaking titanium-cased PowerBook G4. ... and let's not forget the iconic, in spite of the fact it was an abject commercial failure, Mac Cube.

Ok, last weeks were "ME LIKE CHEESE" and "STRICTLY IS CRAP" This week's were "'I VOTED ROSS PEROT" and "ME SMELL CATS". There you go.

Welcome to the forum - the more Brits, the merrier. You mentioned in another thread that you're a Pro photographer; please share your watch photos when you get some watches.

I don't own a TV. http://tvrss.net/feeds/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00fm...2_(new_series)/ There's no reason not to catch up, you know. ps. This week's morse code is about votes and cats...

Woah. OSX is significantly more than a GUI on BSD. The kernels are different, for a start. Sure, OSX uses a FreeBSD userland, but it doesn't use the .rc structure or the same user system. Yes, OSX has a BSD TCP stack, but so does Windows. OSX has frameworks, like CoreAudio, CoreVideo, CoreData, etc. that make it so different to Linux and the BSDs. Application Bundles with language resources, kernel-based file indexing, quick look, parental controls, etc. OSX is significantly more than lipstick on a daemon or penguin.

I agree. It's a munter of a watch, but such a gorgeous munter.

I've been an IT professional for about two decades and my vast experience leads me to Macs, not some desire for a flashy show-off status symbol. Macs stopped being overpriced about 7 years ago. These days, they're on par with the other large high-end brands. Why people buy Macs over PCs is the operating system is made by the people that make the hardware and the operating system is better than Windows. UNIX offers better base security than Windows and is rock-stable. Macs even offer the ability to run Windows either in a VM or as dual-boot, if you need Windows for a game or MS Visio/MS Project. Knowing Dani's taste[1] though, I'm not really upset he doesn't like Macs. [1] Apart from sports. We share taste in sports.

Been a Mac user since the early 90s. I even now use a Mac at work, managing both Linux and Windows servers. At home, I live on a black MacBook.

You only pay capital gains on the sale of a second house. Your primary home is exempt, as long as it's the only one you own. In other words, the downside would be ... um, it's already the case and hasn't helped a thing.

Me too! Enjoy it, it's a beaut.

I wouldn't use the term 'active' myself. I was there as Pugwash, but then they reverted the database to before I joined so I just stayed away. Then, after a while I created a lurking account to read one or two threads, but even that got boring as it became some bloke's playground and the opportunity for someone to post sub-par Deviant Art [censored]. All those [censored] harlequins, poor dali copies and poetry got up my nose. Such [censored].

Unless you assume it wasn't a joke. I've been active on old RWG, just not under this name.

What's a Demsey?

Bull[censored]. The church hijacked marriage. Ancient Greeks married. Romans married. People who never heard of Yahweh or Jesus married. The Christians tried to hijack the institution as a form of control.
