 |
|
hi,
I have a question which I hope someone can give me e good answer.
Recently, my computer died and the serviceman says the usual word: You
do not win by repairing this and it is better to get a new pc.
the only sertiouse requirement I have from a new pc is that it is good
for working with digital RAW files. The specifications suggests that
the new computer with 250 G HDD and 1024 ram and an Intel Core 2 duo
2.0 desktop seems to be good enough for me. My only question is about
the integrated garaphic card. the seller says it is very good and if
i want to get a seperated card it will cost me more than 150 US
dollar. shall I go for the integrated card or get a seperate one?
Shall I think about other specifications? The integrated card is
called: "onboard Intel GMa3000 256mb".
I hope I have given enough information.
best regards,
Mojtaba |

ALRIGHT! Someone with a clue!
Yes.. Apple.. they know how to exploit style over function.
Style makes money while you have to work harder with function.
I bet that if Apple took PC and put a logo and a white case on it you would
say it was the best PC ever.
Hang on that's what they have done.
Same ol yap-yap from PeeCee Patrol. |
It's the Operating System, stupid.
OTOH, if you enjoy crashes, spyware, viri, etc., knock yourself out! |

Not true at all. Try the latest Macs with Photoshop and see for yourself
or just check out iPhoto 6, which is great for the typical amateur
photographer. I use Macs and Windows XP daily.
Mac OS X runs rings
around Windows for functionality, reliability, and ease of use, plus I
spend a lot less time doing maintenance stuff such as installing OS
updates and no security issues.
Do you want to look at that in detail?
Mac OS X has less functionality than Vista (not that it matters to me as I
run applications and not OSes as such).
OS updates for windows install themselves and what's more they are free and
don't cost $150 pa when a new "version" arrives.
There are security issues on Macs if you haven't been patching them you are
asking for trouble.
Oh the hardware in Macs is as close to a PC as you can get too.
Just as well really as Mac performance was getting very slow compared to
PCs.
You can even buy a two or three button mouse for a Mac to make it useable.
PS what *idiot* invented a circular mouse for a Mac?
Dream on, numb-nuts. I bet you sell buggy whips with those Win-doze, too! |

Have fun with your virus-ridden, bloated OS.
Which one?
I use at least five (and none have a virus).
Would you know? Course not...

Why not?
What do you think makes OSx invulnerable?
How do you know yours hasn't been infected or do you rely on some mythical
protection offered by the fruit badge?
You sound like an easy target for a virus.. you don't think you can get one.
It would probably be easy to get you to install some malicious software
which is the biggest danger computer users face.
Just think yourself lucky that virus writers can't be bothered with Macs or
you may find your invulnerability is worthless.
PS OSx is just a "shell" ontop of a unix kernel and there is nothing that
says unix is safe. The first worms were unix based and there have been
plenty of problems since. There is nothing that Apple does to make sure
there are no security issues that M$ doesn't do so your faith is not based
on fact. |

Uh...name for me just one virus or piece of spyware in the wild which
is capable of infecting OS X (HINT: there are none).

Quite a large number have been patched so far assuming you have installed
the patches that is.
You may not have as you appear to be invulnerable. |

Hello, Dennis:
Why are you trying to reason with these Apple-addled, poor souls?
They're incurably confused, t'would seem! ;-)
Cordially,

egads, you sure let a lot of things bother you.

Nope, you've got it all wrong. Some of those things *would*
bother me if I had to regularly deal with them, but since I don't,
I'm almost happy as a clam. As already remarked, if the price were
right I'd even use Stevie's little Mac wonder. And despite linux's
low entry price, I'm still submitting to Billy Boy's octopus. Der
George's antics never stopped my from enjoying games on the radio or
the few that made it to the tube, and even he has undergone age's
mellowing, so I'll probably make it to the Stadium once more before
it's torn down. But since you mentioned it, and I've made no secret
of it, there are one or two other things that do bother me, and
should bother others, so I'll continue . . .
Some are hard to avoid because their actions have consequences
that effect all of us, and that includes the aforementioned
Bush/Cheney. BTW, there's a scandal brewing that's getting
extensive coverage in Europe and Britain but so far that doesn't
seem to have been echoed here. Seems that Shrub's Saudi buddy,
"Bandar Bush", long time favorite of the Bush dynasty, and who was
an oft invited guest to Bush House (USA, not UK) has been collecting
secret payoffs arranged by the British gov't as stipulated in a
hidden clause in the Saudi contract for purchasing planes for their
Air Force from Britain, and the amount that Bandar Bush has been
collecting under the table for the last 10 years is the very tidy
sum of nearly 1/4 billion dollars per year. Tony Blair killed an
investigation into this scandal about a year ago, but now that it's
out, is trying to defend it by saying (among other things) that if
Britain didn't capitulate to the deal, or didn't keep it secret, the
Saudis would not only buy the jets elsewhere, but would hence refuse
to provide intelligence to Britain. Blair claims that this
intelligence was vital to being able to combat terrorism. However,
this deal was made four years before the Saudi terrorists piloted
their hijacked aircraft into USA targets back in 2001. Of course
the Saudis didn't want any of this made public. After all, 10 years
ago they had their hand full with a guy named Bin Ladn, who not only
wanted to overthrow Saddam, but the secular Saudi princes as well.
Yep, I'd say that many of Bush and Cheney's unreported deals have
also had consequences, many of which are affecting us negatively,
and yes, this is an example of something that bothers me, but it
doesn't bother most other people for several reasons. For one, they
have a hard time hearing of or reading about actions that don't get
reported. For another, they subscribe to "See no evil. Hear no
evil. Say no evil." as do all good, loyal, patriotic Americans.
Too many things to enumerate more than a tiny fraction or in any
detail, but broadly, good music, food, books, photography, family,
children, other cultures, especially those within walking distance
(and that means from 5 up to a 10 mile radius), many plants (even
those that target me with their pollen), animals and non-biting
bugs. Those that would bite me, that is. Oh, one more that I
really shouldn't fail to mention, several of your bluebird photos.
