  1. Asshole? Mr. Know It All? Really? Are we six? I present logical facts in a well drawn-out and well-presented fashion and you just start name calling? Jesus, I feel like I am in kindergarten again. I get suspended for beating the shit out of people like you almost monthly. And I wasn't being an asshole, I was presenting a logical argument, albeit with 25% sarcasm, but that's to be expected when you live my life. A life where people like you try to tell me bullshit everyday, I should just start agreeing with you.

    You want to play a game? How about I play yours. You are a self-centered egotistical sack of human excrement. How's that for name calling? Not original enough, did I use too many big words? Well try this on for size: You be shit homie. Is that more you're language? I don't know, and quite frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.

    You seem to be getting butthurt over an internet-debate. I hope you don't have a job where you have to collaborate with others, because you are TERRIBLE at reading facts. Shit, you present information worse than Fox News. And that's no exaggeration.

    You may be right about the OS issue, but at this point it doesn't matter. You act like an immature 12-year-old woman on her period. (I personally have NOTHING against 12-year-olds, or Women, or Women on Periods, in fact, I feel terrible for comparing you to him, and I do apologize.) I really do not need to hear the HUGE amount of crap spewing from your mouth. It's worse than listening to Lindsay Lohan say she doesn't do drugs.

    Go ahead, live in Apple world. While the rest of the planet believes in logic and facts, and I truly hope one day you come to realize that 90% of the things you say are 100% incorrect, and arrogant. To be honest, you had made a worthy adversary for a while, but now it's getting sad. I have nothing against Apple computes for all of you who use them, just butthurt fanboy's who believe their misconstrued ideas are the truth.

    By the way, I am 17. You're at least 30, if anything, I should have reverted to name calling. Maybe you should quit being a smart ass 30+ year old who's only glory in the day is to constantly try to prove his bullshit theory's on the internet. Christ, I do this because I have 15 minutes of free time, and hate to see people given entirely false information. You do it because you have nothing better to do, and want to be famous. Well, great! NOW YOU ARE! I am adding you to my list of ignorant son's of bitches, right at the top, above Dane Cook even.

    Good day, and go fuck yourself. This is yet another person you have pissed off to the point where they have quit Testmy.net, you sorry excuse for a human being. I hope CA3LE is proud of you. You know my father still thinks you're a self centered jackass, I didn't believe him at first, but I should have.

    And for the record, a large portion of my facts are presented to my by my professor at my Vocational High School. (Multiple CCIE's, What the fuck have you done?) So for everyone who wants to actually get knowledge, instead of living a lie, don't listen to dlewis. Shit, don't even read his posts. Mine may not be 100% true, but I also don't spend hours trying to think of a counter-argument. I spend 20 minutes typing it. I guess if I spent another 10 on Google, I could be 100%, but who wants to be that asshole? Not me.

    You insult me, I insult you. That's how the motherfucking game is played. And don't act like you're bigger than me, sure you're older, but HARDLY wiser.

    If there's anyone who doesn't want to send me bullshit ideas, or wants to keep in contact with me, send me a PM. I'll read those. I also have a Cell Phone. Just ask for the number. (Again, in a PM.) If you want to hate on me, send one to. I will personally tell you to fuck off.

    To everyone: I apologize for the language. Delete the post or ban me. See if I give a fuck. I won't, because in the end I am leaving. I don't want to listen to this Jackass any longer.

    Go Fuck Yourself Dlewis,

    P.S.: The fact that Apple stole from Sun only adds to my disgust of them. Thank you for telling me that. And it's also based HEAVILY on BSD, of course, I don't expect you to know that. You wouldn't believe it if it were true anyway.

    WOW. Getting frustrated are we. Your Vocational professor must be making you watch MSNBC or something because bull shit is just flying off you left and right. Your processor must be one of those far left loons if he's teaching you facts like this "Also, you are all forgetting one HUGE fact: The Mac OS (OS X) is based ENTIRELY on Linux." because thats not a fact, and yet you say I'm terrible at reading facts, your terrible at stating facts.

    You can't really be this dumb to think that I'm 30+, for someone who thinks he has all this knowledge of computers, yet he fails to click my name and figure out that I'm 24.

    Just so you know, I do this to challange people who put false information out there, you know people like you. I don't spend hours thinking up counter-arguments or googling around, I pull this out of my head while I'm typing. I've been fucking around with computers and tech for a very long time. Almost as long as you have been alive. I know my stuff because I have to know it. It's my job to know it. Yea thats right I actually do this for a living. Your not the first 17 year old to come around and think he knows it all and you surely won't be the last.

    Here is some advice for the real world because it I think you would maybe like to go in IT maybe some day and I suggest you listen up because this is the only advice i'm ever going to give you. Saying things like this "I get suspended for beating the shit out of people like you almost monthly." Gets you nowhere in the real world. All it does is make you sound like a total fucking retard and that gets me to when you say this "This is yet another person you have pissed off to the point where they have quit Testmy.net, you sorry excuse for a human being. I hope CA3LE is proud of you." All that does is put a giant banner over your head saying "I can't deal with any kind of pressure". And no one in the real world wants to do business with someone who is a fucking retard or can't deal with pressure.

    You need to grow up real fast because everything you wrote shows how immature you really are and your lack of experience.

  2. I never used yellow. I used Green. 00FF00

    And that wasn't a stipulation. You stated, "Go spec me out a 27" iMac equivalent with much better specs for less," you did NOT state "while keeping in mind that I will be using non-OEM parts for the computer." You and Mudman are telling me two COMPLETELY different things. "Designed to work together," and yet you are buying aftermarket? Where does the "designed to work together" come into play there? OH! I FORGOT! It doesn't.

    Also, your comparison is wrong. "Taking your config (No SSD) your at $1870 to a stock 27" iMac with 16 GB of ram from Newegg which is $1770." You left out the Core i7, the stock iMac 27" is a Core i5*. You, who claims to know Apple so much, should know that. In reality, my config trump's Apple's in the Technical comparison. I don't have $6000 to do a Lab Study, but if I did, I would. And I would use two non-biased parties to judge it. (See note below.)

    Also, you are all forgetting one HUGE fact: The Mac OS (OS X) is based ENTIRELY on Linux. It is just a customized version. Please don't confuse the issues with the facts. You state that OS X is better, in reality I could take Debian, add a "Dock," and modify the UI a little, and make OS X. Sure, they do packages differently, but the point is, it is based off of the Linux system.

    *NOTE: If you are going to compare my initial config to a stock iMac 27", use this processor.

    http://www.newegg.co...N82E16819115074

    Core i5: $190.

    Brings mine to $1745. I am still $25 cheaper. Which continues to prove my point.

    You are attempting to compare Apples to Oranges. Yes, they are both roundish, and yes, they are both fruits. But they have distinct flavours and colours, and even growing cycles.

    Edit: Forgot to mention, the initial Challenge I accepted CANNOT be completed, because you worded it incorrectly. It is PHYSICALLY impossible to find an iMac EQUIVALENT with BETTER SPECS. (I capitalized these so you can see the point, you worded it improperly; however, I will not hold this against you.)

    Thanks,

    EBrown

    Ok you want to be an ass hole, well two can play at that game.

    If you want to compare to a 27" iMac first off use the Dell 27" display and not that POS you picked out. The Dell uses the exact same panel as what the iMac uses. That adds $160 to your total.

    I know a stock 27" iMac comes with a i5 and not an i7 as you had with your config. I gave that to you, just as I gave you the lower cost display you picked out.

    But will play this game now. Here is your config with using the i5 you just said to use and the proper monitor that you should have used.

    Motherboard: $85 http://www.newegg.co...N82E16813130579

    i5 Processor: $190 http://www.newegg.co...N82E16819115074

    16GB RAM: $120 http://www.newegg.co...N82E16820104262 x2

    Case: $70 http://www.newegg.co...N82E16811129066

    HDD: $90 http://www.newegg.co...N82E16822136533

    Video Card: $350 http://www.newegg.co...N82E16814131391

    Monitor: $999 http://www.newegg.co...N82E16824260038

    Total: $1904

    Stock 27" iMac $1699 + 16GB Ram $70 - Total: $1769

    Hmm.....

    Oh and BTW. Mr. Know it all, OS X is not based ENTIRELY on Linux as you say. Mac OS X is actually NeXTSTEP which is a Mach Kernel with parts of FreeBSD and NetBSD. I suggest you STOP being a smart ass, little 17 year old, that thinks he knows it all and go take a moment and learn what OS X actually is. It's very clear with your "in reality I could take Debian, add a "Dock," and modify the UI a little, and make OS X" that you have no clue what the hell you are talking about and thats a FACT.

    dlewis...did you really think that was yellow?? just asking cuz it's green...there is a color blindness that sees green as yellow...

    Well the monitor I was using when I made the post made it look yellow, It's a really old HP/Compaq monitor that is used just for managing a server at the office and it has a really odd color tone now.

  3. EBrown,

    First tip. Never use yellow for text. It's very hard on the eyes.

    Edit: Forgot to mention that Apple charges $150 for a 1TB HDD, whereas I could order multiples of mine for $90 a pop.

    And I don't know what there SSD is, but here's a cheaper one:

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820249011

    SSD: $380

    Cost for iMac SSD: $500.

    http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=557294&CatId=4534 x4

    32GB RAM: $500

    Cost to upgrade iMac from 4GB to 16GB: $600

    Next tip. You never buy Ram or Hard Drives from Apple or any OEM. You should know this because everyone else does. Include the Ram/Hard Drive upgrade price that you would pay on Newegg.

    Going from 4GB to 16GB of ram on the iMac is about $70 bucks http://www.newegg.com/Special/ShellShocker.aspx?cm_sp=ShellShocker-_-20-231-295-_-09012011_1

    The current gen iMac can actually go to 32GB of ram.

    As with ram no one ever buys the SSD from Apple or any OEM unless you like getting ripped off. So anyone could put the same SSD you posted if you would like an SSD.

    Taking your config (No SSD) your at $1870 to a stock 27" iMac with 16 GB of ram from Newegg which is $1770. Ill give you that your not at the Dell Display at $999 (The DoubleSight one you picked really isn't equal).

    Is your config faster? Yes. But on a day to day basis the average person probably wouldn't notice much a difference between the two unless your rendering lots of video.

    But now if you know were you look, you know browse around a little bit you can find things like this: http://store.apple.com/us/product/FD063LL/A?mco=MjMxMjQ0MjE

    Hmm. Thats looking pretty similar to your config at $1869 Just gotta put 16GB of ram in it at $70 bucks. For that extra $70 you get a All-in-One design (Only 1 cable coming out the back), dual thunderbolt ports, OS X, better support, it doesn't sound like there is an air plane in the room when its running.

  4. Why not Mac's? Unless you have tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars to piss away, what's the point? The "Hackintosh" put OS X on a PC. So really, why buy Apple's Hardware? You can build a PC with Windows or Linux and MUCH better specs for less than a Mac.

    Really? Go spec me out a 27" iMac equivalent with much better specs for less. We will even ignore the all in one part of the iMac.

  5. From the way I have read everything. Nothing is really going to change. SInce he was on a leave he really wasn't the "CEO" Tim Cook was. So Tim Cook is going to stay were he has been since January and Jobs is going to become the chairman which is kind of the way he already was since he wasn't there for day to day opertations as it is.

    It wouldn't surprise me if in a year or so he was back as CEO.

  6. yeah, that would do it too. however ipv4 ips are in short supply atm and are not the cheapest thing to add to a plan anymore

    Yea this would be of course if you had a few extra sitting around lol. Most VPS's now only give 1 IP but dedicated servers still get a few.

  7. Changing the port is not actually the best solution because if anyone really wants to find out what port SSH is running on all they have to do is run a port scan to find it.

    I have found the best solution is to actually bind SSH on one of the secondary IP's and do not use that IP for anything. Then they can port scan on the domain all they want and they will never find any SSH on that IP.

  8. Isn't apple saying they developed the first touch screen? That's like Samsung saying they should be the only one to manufacture tvs lol just an example I'm not saying Samsung made the first tv or anything but as long as it's not an exact copy of the technology who cares??

    No thats not what they are suing for. Apple is suing Samsung because Samsungs phones (Hardware and OS) look an awful lot like the iPhone and iOS.

    http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/24/apple-sues-samsung-again-for-copying-the-iphones-design-this-t/

    Samsung probably should have hired a different designer of the OS because he was clearly looking at a iPhone when he was photoshoping up the UI.

  9. Ok Ok lol, I can imagine beta in production could be rather useful if you didnt have a broad base of testers. Simply act on user commentary from use.

    So what do you suggest for server virtualization, should i go back to 5.5 , should i use KVM , hyperVM , open VZ , Xen ..........

    CentOS 6 is pretty stable I haven't heard many real complaints about it so far. But I will run 5.5 and will till my next main server build.

    For virtualization I would only do OpenVZ or Xen. OpenVZ is cool because its free, can do a ton of things but the containers part sucks for at least my needs. I hate not having support for things like Fuse/SSHFS out of the box.

    I prefer Xen because of better performance and it has all the features I've ever needed built in.

  10. And yea , a beta in production ? silly.

    Hey hey hey... Don't knock using a beta in production. Sometimes it works out well I've done it before. Of course I tested the crap out it first.

    I keep it simple now to keep things stable. I run CentOS on every server and I never run anyone else's scripts. Everyone is custom to what I want.

  11. Mac cannot defend against viruses and the other nasty things that are affective. Windows has an enhanced graphical interface. Also it is best for Graphic designing and animation.

    :2funny: :2funny: :2funny: :2funny:

    Mac's don't have to defend against any viruses because at this time there are no known viruses in the wild for OS X but if there was since OS X is based on the Unix permission system it would fend just fine. I wouldn't exactly call the GUI enhanced since they are going for a Web 2.0 look the goal is to simplify everything not enhance.

    And if it makes you sleep better at night, you go right ahead and keep on thinking windows is better for design and animation.

  12. CA3LE,

    My fans start out on my IMAC in a normal mode, after opening mail and then Safari they kick into max and stay that way until I put it to sleep. Shortly after awake it does it again. I have spent weeks with an Apple software person and still no fix. We did the reset for the PRAM, no change. I forgot to mention, Apple replaced my hard drive and that is when all fun started. Any suggestions beyond buying a new computer, which I am going to do shortly. The reason they replaced the hard drive was , the busy wheel was coming on early when using Safari and would be locked. This happened all the time. It still happens with new hard drive so obviously that was not the problem.

    https://testmy.net/ipb/public/style_emoticons/default/tickedoff.gif

    Download SMC fan control and set the fan profile to default. If they still rev up. make a new profile and set everything to 1500 RPM.

    How old is the iMac? I've seen older ones do this because dust and dirt gets clogged in the heatsink because the turbine blows directly through the heatsink.

    Also put iStat Pro on it and post what the temps are when the fans are running at full.

  13. This isn't really a big out there deal if you have the mac set to login from sleep this can't happen. Otherwise the password has to be kept it memory for you to be able to login automatically when you wake your computer. But it requires physical access to your computer to get your password anyway so its nothing to really worry about.

  14. Yeah... that's what I'm doing on Monday.

    ... wait, they're only offering it through the App Store... how do you get a full copy?

    There are 3 ways. Either install a copy of SL then install Lion before anything else. Use the new Lion recovery console to install a fresh copy (Really cool because it does the install from the internet) or make your own bootable DVD or USB stick. Here are the instructions for #3 http://mashable.com/2011/07/20/lion-clean-install-guide/#20859Step-1-Download-Lion-From-the-Mac-App-Store

  15. ... another one, where the f*ck is the zoom gesture... control + scroll. WTF, I liked that! Just stupid what they set some of the defaults to. :uglystupid2:

    It's still there. It just seems like it works about 10% of the time. I've already submitted a bug report for that one on the dev. site. For me it seems to work 100% when I start the computer fresh but as soon as it goes to sleep then I wake it back up it doesn't work.

    And the moving the mouse to wake from sleep is another bug. It's not suppose to do that. 10.7.1 should be out rather quickly, I would say by the first or second week of August.
