Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

What did they do?
get on my level
if you could bend it to the brahman/ kennedy/ mid-atlantic accent you would be up to your neck in ladyparts
outside boston i mean
in boston, people would probably call you a queeah
it feels similar to the anger that leads frumpy IT guys to regard all better looking people who wear nice fitting clothes hipsters
My dad has the 15", and he runs it at the approximation of 1920x1280 (resolutions aren't "real" on a retina display, rather the interface elements and font rendering grow or shrink as needed as it renders the full pixel size) - its pretty much the perfect size, and the screen is killer.
Its a shame that the GPU isn't QUITE there yet. I think whatever they pair with it this coming revision will possibly be enough.
I have a Lenovo T420 from work and whenever I'm at a customer site, I take make a little adhoc wifi network, join it with both the lenovo and my personal macbook air, shut the lenovo, stick it in my laptop bag, and remote into it from the MBA. It sounds absolutely ridiculous, but having a light laptop and can grip in one hand and carry around and bring up on to factory scaffolding easily is the best. God, I hope we switch to some sort of ultrabook soon.
back when I had to do server closet nonsense, I would use my iPad 1 for it, along with a 30 pin to serial adapter and an SSH app.
It was da bes. When you have to squeeze behind rackmounts, you want as small a device as possible to get the job done.
we definitely imported it from you guys a few years ago
i lived outside london for a year when i was a kid. the fact that redheaded kids got made fun of was completely bizarre to me.
you guys were mean as shit to jews too. jesus. i'd never heard anything like it. it pinned my ears back.
also poor kids. the whole "gyppo" thing was just awful.
otoh, you guys were not nearly so mean to nerds or fatties as american kids were
good work
probably because gingers are assumed to be irish or scottish
and in england, irish or scottish are assumed to be scum
i wanna go to a rock concert and take illegal drugs
for me it comes from the fact that when i sit down and get out my laptop I'm surrounded by 18 year olds using facebook on their $2000 macbooks and the nonsense of it all overwhelms me
As a brand I dislike apple because you're literally paying a premium for the logo, but if you want OSX it's your only choice really. A lenovo or asus macbook at a reasonable price for the hardware would be fantastic
My best mate is a redhead. We spend quite some time trading insults based on our respective defects (ginge vs English & crippled).
Ahhhh, childhood.
they only had one song at the time that anyone knew, which was hey jealousy
and they refused to play it
and some guy in the front was, like, calling for it
so they cursed him and threw a bottle at him
small venue, too
total fuckers
maybe you shouldn't have been such a chubster gyppo boffin ginge, you big jew
Yet I'm not a furry. Close call.
I think playing that Robocop arcade game on the ferry ride to/from Vancouver helped.
ITT we learn that the Kennedy mid-atlantic accent causes spontaneous re-birthing.
i've read lord of the flies
My loudest was Converge/Mastodon/Dethklok. Dethklok was so god damn loud
"what's your problem?"
"englishness"
"ew"
Wow. That's pretty dicktastic.
seriously every time I put my cursor in a textbox it brings up the onscreen keyboard because the last windows update removed my machine's ability to tell if I'm using it as a tablet or not
that is one serious advantage that makes me want to burn the entire pc landscape to the ground
That is it. People don't like to feel "lied" to, and a lot of people feel so smart when they can see through the marketing, and they wanna let you knowhow smart they are!
an R and an E
an I and an N
You haven't been truly insulted until you are insulted in a UK school.
We can come up with really horrible insults and phrases before the compulsory politeness brainwashing.
Cyborg furry porn already exists.
So strike that get rich scheme off your list
But the thing is, you aren't paying a premium for the logo. There has been a significant amount of engineering and design work that goes into making the hardware apple makes. Balancing performance against heat to produce mostly whisper quiet machines that use PC chipsets and processors, but on logic boards completely of their design, built exactly to the case, to perfectly match the power load.
They also go out of their way to advance manufacturing engineering, such as when the unibody hit, or the ridiculous levels they have gone to to produce the iPhone 5. Techniques other companies start using and elevate the entire industry.
Also, they build the OS specifically around their hardware. You can make a hackintosh (and I have), but they are a pale imitation of the real thing, because stuff doesn't "just work," you are installing drivers and kexts and modifying kernels and doing all the nasty shit linux fans had to do in the 90s just to stick it to the man.
Like Will said, Lenovo and Sony make systems on the level of Apple; not their entire line, but their premium flagship stuff. And it also costs bank. Making premium items does cost more money.
@BobCesca
just out of curiosity which of these is the graver sin?
He lives on as cheezburger grease in our hearts.
I know this is too much to be good for me.
I know I'm going to regret this later.
I'm gonna eat it anyway.
He's Scottish.
It's ok. I have been accepted because I married a Scot...
I've passed my final judgement on Windows 8. The technology is awesome, it's very pretty, and the desktop theme is cool. The tablet shit on a desktop can seriously die in a fucking fire jesus christ I tried to tolerate it and change but if that picture viewer app takes over my ENTIRE 30" SCREEN ONE MORE GODDAMNED TIME.
