@PirateFSMThe command line is like 30% of the reason why I got a Mac in the first place. Of the Mac users I know vs. the Windows users I know, a higher percentage of the Mac users use the Terminal and a much smaller percentage of Windows users use the Command Prompt. People need to get the idea out of their head that Macs aren't for "hardcore" users, as I find that almost everyone I know that owns a Mac is either an electrical engineering or computer engineering/science major that is heavily into the hardcore stuff.
OMG SUPER MAC OSX GAMES!!!!If you want to play games on your computer and thats all...get windowsif you want a unix core...get BSDif you want good looking desktop + a unix core...get FreeBSD or Linux with Beryl if you want a secure,virus free, good looking, free, unix-like operating system....get FreeBSD with Beryl if you want to an artsy operating system that is not free but still unix-like and you want to play games like WoW or WC3...get OS X = FreeBSD + OpenDarwin + Artsy GuiIf I have one more person tell me that Mac's are good because they are better for creating websites than windows computers im going to kill them....There is a little company called Adobe that makes the professional standard in this field and last time i checked makes the same products for both platforms.
Its funny how so many mac users always think they've found something like an easter egg, only to discover that its part of the Unix system that OS X is built on. Damn shame, OS X dosen't get enough credit for what it is :). Too bad Apple didn't take Linux under its wing.

OMG. All windows and M$ do is (1) support DX10 (2) Don't even do that well (3) Pretends Windows still has purpose (4) Encourages and propagates gaming for 50 year old loser ass bags that live at home, have no life, have fat ugly guy friends, no jobs, no chicks and leech off mom. Not to forget gamer losers that work their thumb muscles while melting their brain on drugs (5) Build hardware products that die the moment they are conceived (6) Release a disaster posing as an OS called Vista (The finally updated ME) (7) Has an OS that it's fart huffing loser troll consumers hail as the "best OS" called XP that is exactly 30,000 years older than Christ as of today (8) Exists only because of third party applications (Oops! I mean "Programs") like a disease that can't be cured. (9) Has a fat and sweaty teensy gorilla CEO running the company (10) Lives by the standard "When all else fails" Lie your ass off (11) Has yet to catch up to OS 10.3 Panther (12) Releases an OS that devours more Hardware resources than a black hole does Space Matter (13) Has to insult every intelligent techie the world over by calling us liars in their new ads called the Mojave..... something? (14) Is a trillion dollar company that has it's ass handed to it by the Open Source movement, Google and Apple on an hourly basis (15) Will give you hot dogs and rebates if you buy their product even though you don't want to (16) Creates a 50 ton glass slab with Pseudo touch capabilities and pretends that it is not more Vaporware + an 80's looking Pacman c**ktail table from hell + Just more crappy M$ hardware... Just much, much heavier (17) Ahhh forget it. Wintards never learn.

Why? So it can crash just as much and keep it's light in the ass architecture? Apt-get install out of here. If I wanted no Gooey and raw power, I would run OSolaris or Free BSD and s**t all over Linus and his pathetic OS. But I don't pretend that the command line makes me smart or that I am special. I wont pretend that the CL will ever make a come back either. You Torvoids are worse than the Cult-like Christians. Your just plain stupid. Power= Free BSD. Gooey=OSX. OSX+BSD=Epic win! FTW! Now go fix your broken packages. Just make sure your not running that pile of Horse S**T called the Synaptic Package manager. Cause you can't do both without major problems Sir Hal. LMAO! Now I must return to my Fedora distro and do really cool Beryl desktop stuff that gets boring after 1 thousands of a sec and serves no purpose and is inherently anti-productive. Yeah! Actually, I would rather stick around here and fight with you about which is better! GNU? KDE? Beryl? Compiz? Beagle? Smeagle? Ubuntu? Fedora? STFU! Give Linus a reach around.
If you want to spend outragious amounts of money while being raped by Wintelvidia just to play games: Get yourself that walmart special PC (The one for $10 with a $9 rebate) with that stone age OS called Windows. If you want to buy a computer and do nothing with it but log into Yahoo to check your mail, type up an occasional word document and play solitaire while sitting on your fat ass all day long: go to the Good Will and get a PC for free.If you want a Unix core: Buy OSX. It's comes with the best one on the planet at no additional cost. That way, you get the most powerful and stable gooey on the planet with a Core OS that has been schooling kiddie noob CL's like Linux for decades. If you want to run a Post Production studio, do some VFX, Animation, Motion Graphics, Photo editing, Movie Making, Movie sharing/streaming, Video conferencing and the rest of the stuff the entire planet does with a command line: buy a bucket of rat poison and plug your nose. If not, buy OSXIf you want an OS that does not psychologically rape you with more pop up windows than stars in space, really poorly written drivers and the most pathetic third party apps the world has ever seen (an OS that lacks $11,000 of features you would otherwise get with Apple for free): Buy A WinPCIf your part of the techno inept world, then buy a WinPC. Oh wait. You already did. Sorry :(If you want an OS that will encourage your thoughts of suicide rather than helping conquer them since your bad experience with windows, spend the next half of your life finding someone to install Linux for you. Now drive him away after 1 week and 11,000 tech calls later. Whichever comes first.If you have an old PC around and don't have money to buy a real computer (Mac): Take it into your local mom and pop shop and have them put Linux on it. Oh wait, Mom and pop shops are all gone. Damn you uneducated pop-culture heathens!If your a somewhat normal person, want to have nothing to do with a command line ( Which of course, you have never laid eyes on one) want an OS that lives up to its name (Operates your system) rather than windows, which is an unconcuerable obstacle that has successfully sold itself as an OS; (in large part due to a bunch of noob kids on Digg that think they know something) then Mac OS with an iMac is the choice for you. Never mind the social germs above. True to the pop-culture language they would use: they are a haters drinking haterarde. Oh and yes, Mac's are light years better at creating web sites than a poor Mans OS called Winblowz. If you knew anything about fonts, Digial Color Meter, Color Syn Utility, OGL, Aqua and Post Script PDF, you would know why that statment is true. Unless you mean a "web Page". ROFLMAO! Then yeah. Windows (The OS that sort of does things) should be fine. Don't make me pull my website out and slap you on the forehead with it chump. Ah, fine. You made me do it. BASTARD! What's next? After Effects is better then Motion? LMAO! Yeah, I agree with your logic. No not Logic the Application which your poor ass can't get. But you know, your pop-culture logic. The one that tells others than your pinto is somehow better than my Porsche. Yeah. That one. Shove it! Come talk to me when you have a $250,000 PPS and a few clients behind you. Running Win PC's won't get you there pal. It takes you further away. If I want a cheap render farm, I will Wrangle it myself with a few dozen Pc's running Fedora. That's right. As the Q Master or X-grid host douche bag. Lets see... A decent SAN solution for Windows or linux? Nah. Shake on Linux or Mac? Hmmm..... Not bad on Linux. But certainly no Mac powerhouse. Final Cut Server for Linux? Nope. Color? Nope. Logic Studio? Nope. Motion? No. Live Type? No. Why use Windows and Linux again? Because you, the retard says so? Nah. I have a life and a kid to feed. I put my money with reliability. That be Apple my pop-cultu foo!
<a class="user" href="http://www.letta-ltd.com/eriks/">http://www.letta-ltd.com/eriks/</a>Now what were you saying about web sites douche bag? Show me some of your work. All the work you see is all Cinema 4D modeling and shading. Most compositions were finished in Shake. Motion Graphics were originally done in Motion of course. The rest sent to flash and Dreamweaver. All very easily done on a Mac. What I do in an hour would take your sorry ass days. Assuming we were equal in our computer skills. OS and application integration is key. Hardware is important too. But the bottom line is that I can create Web Sites with an OS that is light years beyond yours in a fraction of the time it takes you. I can even prove this to you on a broken down and detailed technical level with the same web Site for us both. Show me some Quartz compositions on Windows? Oh wait. Your sorry ass can't do that either. Man... GTFOOH!

Those of us who do have a clue not only know that emacs is a text editor available for a lot of operating systems, we also know how to start the games from the command line.emacs -f tetrisemacs -f hanoi 4emacs -f dunnetand so on. you can also use Emacs for reading mail and news and for editing texts. much better to not run Emacs from the terminal, though, rather install Carbon Emacs from <a class="user" href="http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_open_source/carbonemacspackage.html">http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_open_source/carbonemacspackage.html</a>
