Hello? Is there anyone Home?

Didn't we already have an article about sharks posted within the last hour?


/yes, lame
//it's all I had

I'm glad a Cleveland newspaper picked up on this, seeing as Ohio passed a same-sex marriage ban back in 06.

So, in a lesbian divorce case, who would get the Indigo Girls CDs?

Gay marriage thread! Where the reactionaries prattle on about the sanctity of marriage, like there ever was such a thing.

I'm a matrimonial attorney and same-sex divorces/dissolutions are really interesting. Since there are a lot of unanswered questions, some lucky divorcee will be looking forward to ridiculously high attorney fees as several key issues have to be litigated.

From this (heterosexual) Mac programmer/artist, I'd like to take this opportunity to remind you windows users that whilst you're busy trashing Mac-users, your PC will need another anti-virus update, several "critical" windows security patches and there's some russian dude trying to sell your credit-card details.

On a side note, just fyi, just because Mac's are stylish and look "nice" doesn't mean the users are gay. Just more stylish and on-average more intelligent than you and your Windows brethren.

I have said this for years.

As these unions are supposed to somehow devalue traditional marriage, we will assume a jump in hetero divorces as well.

Concur.

Letting gays & lesbians marry and divorce legally will make us heterosexuals even more free. No longer would gender decide who gets the kids.

They both do. The court orders a random man to give one lesbian divorcee everything he owns and buy her the Indigo Girls CDs and make a donation to Hilly 2016

Do you genuinely dislike the human male?

Do you wake up being angry at the world because your sex toys look like male genitalia?

Ask your doctor if LESBITOL is right for you.

Certain side effects may include feelings of contentment and a desire to relate to anybody. In some clinical cases, people we thought were men actually turned out to be women! Currently, there is no limit to the amount of LESBITOL one can swallow, as it only prepares the patient for other related activities.

I see what you did there...

Maybe I can get married sometime. Would be kinda nice I guess.

Also, I'm gay and don't own a single bit of Apple hardware. I do, however, run FreeBSD and Ubuntu, which trounce the hell out of any of the dumbed down Apple stuff.

not defending windows
but
if it was truly such a nightmare, wouldnt everyone have given up by now and switched to a viable alternative??

Take it easy, Francis. Learn to laugh at yourself. It's called satire, which is not to be confused with Satan.

What's funny about your little explosion is that I probably have more gay friends than you do.

Once the trendiness dies down you'll find yourselves swindling each other just like the married slags do their leasees.

1. Obscurity != security.

That is all.

I hope you're joking about being a Comp Sci major, because if you haven't already landed in the industry, you are in for a helluva shock.

If by "obscurity", you mean "low market penetration", then while you are technically correct, practically you are wrong. Don't get me wrong, a virus writer or other black-hat could as easily gain control of a Mac running OSX as they could a Windows box, if they are aware of usable security holes.

Practically, however, most attacks are going to be focused toward PCs running Windows, since that is where the majority of users (and thus data to mess with) are concentrated. In this sense, a Mac user has fewer chances of coming under an attack by a black-hat than does a Windows user. A Linux user has fewer chances still.

The smart user sets up his computer on a network behind a firewall, has his anti-virus/spyware software running, keeps up with the security updates, and stays away from IE and Outlook (if on a Windows box).

If you mean "obscurity", though, as in the sense of "hidden away from prying eyes", I am not sure how you can apply that notion fairly to a Mac. OSX is based on BSD, one of the most secure and stable operating systems around. Unless Apple has truely munged it up something bad (or added modules or other software that causes holes without providing updates), that level of security should still hold. That doesn't mean that one shouldn't have a firewall or keep up with security updates (regardless of operating system), just that I think you are being disingenuous about the level of security Macs provide users.

As far as the term "PC" not meaning "Windows", once again, while you are technically correct, you are also practically incorrect.

In today's marketplace, when you say "PC", you heavily imply "Windows", simply because most users of what is uniformly known as PC-based hardware (Intel 80x86+ instruction-set based CPUs) run that operating system and know of no other operating systems which can be used on that platform. Indeed, in today's world, while a user may know the words "operating system", few if any could give you a correct definition of what an operating system does or why it is necessary in a modern computer system.

So, while it is true that the term "Personal Computer" does not mean that a given computer system is running Windows (techinally, it should mean it is running DOS 1.0, or a varient of CP/M, but I digress), for all practical purposes, in today's world, when a person says or thinks "PC", they instantly associate "Windows" with that term.

Anyone working in this industry is wise to keep the above knowledge in mind at all times.

If there's an argument and both spouses are men, who is automatically wrong?

yeah, the same thing goes with the term DSL. It seems the telecoms, notably AT&T, have cornered the usage. Where it simply means, Digital Subscriber Line, the same term can be applied to any digital connection, whether it be via coaxial cable or RJ12.

Thank you for also pointing out that many Mac users are still elitist asshats who like to condescend Windows users.

Don't forget that the time when Macs need an antivirus update every day grows sooner and sooner with every Mac sold. Script kiddies didn't write viruses for Mac because it wouldn't infect as many users as Windows. Now that more Mac users are appearing on the scene, it won't take long for someone to take on the challenge of the Mac OS too.

So, you just agreed with everything I said?

Obscurity, or "low market penetration" does not equate a secure system. The threat of attack is still there, however, with a lower incentive to do so.

... and in "today's market place" PC does not mean Windows. PC is still personal computer, no matter how synomynous the two terms may become. People refer to an object's color to describe its hue, does that make it right?

No.
