  1. 007 Games are great.But I like any game, where there are a whole lot of people at once connected, and its some type of shoot and kill game. (007, or Halo.) I love the 007 one (I forget the name) where you run around and find the other. people and shoot them. (Syphon Filter, Rainbow 6, I can't remember its some Tom Clancy Game and its new.) But anyways, finding the others and wasting them rocks.


  2. Screw Mac.Windows rocks.Unsurprisingly, the Department of Defense and its contractors use Windows, so that means I have been stuck on a Windows box all this summer while at work. My first Macintosh was a Performa 6200CD, so I've been a Mac guy for a long time so using Windows everyday has made me think about some things. In no particular order, here are the things I've noticed that Windows does a better job at than Mac OS X (10.3 Panther). Window Resizing- I have a 1.8Ghz (single processor) G5 at home,(I'm bragging aren't I? Its freaking awesome!) and sometimes when I resize windows (of any size or complication-level) the system lags a bit. It lags about 100 times less than any other Mac I've owned, but it's not instantaneous. The PC I'm on right now is an older IBM box that can't be running past 800Mhz, however, Windows must be optimized for the resizing of windows because it freakin' flies whenever I grab and move the bottom-right corner. Photoshop, Firefox, UltraEdit, it doesn't matter ? they all resize in real-time with my mouse movements. Menubar Interaction- Just like with the window resizing, menus drop down (I'm using Win2000, not XP) extraordinarily fast. Much faster than on my G5, which ticks me off because I can't think of anything I do more with my time than select menu options in applications. And Microsoft Office :) - Granted Microsoft Office + Windows is Redmond's bread and butter, but it still upsets me that Office 2004 on OS X sucks so bad. I don't care about all the fancy new features and how people love them, I care about the user experience in what I do most when I use Microsoft Office ? type and edit text in Microsoft Word. Because Word was never ported over to Cocoa for Mac OS X, the carbon-rendered text looks absolutely revolting and I seriously cannot stand to look at a screen full of text in Word when using my Mac. The anti-aliasing is off just enough to make it look like garbage. Don't believe me? Start typing in 14px Georgia and prepare to find a garbage bag quickly.


  3. I just found something to stump you. I mean....think. Think good, no search engine will answer this, you have to answer it.

     

     

    Think about it.

     

    What is life as we know it?

     

     

     

    :huh:

     

    Notice from BuffaloHELP:
    I'm assuming you didn't read the description for What Is...? section. You must define the term or idea instead of asking a rhetorical question. Moving to Life Talk. This is your last friendly warning note.
