    LOL, The_Necromancer seems to hate everyone around here.

    I am not exactly a Mac lover, but what really annoys me is the fact that you can't differentiate between the two platforms in an informed manner.

    There are pluses and minuses to every platform; Windows is not perfect and neither are Macs. It's just a matter of preference. This is the reason why I hate going to fanboy type sites that only look at the positive sides of the platform and ignore the negatives.

    Educate yourself buddy!

    Ok Dee, I am sorry for my ignorant comment on the Mac, and I know that Mac is short for Macintosh, but i am proud of my Pc building skills and Amd kicks ass, Plus i would never shop at Dell for a copmuter b/c they rip you off.
    And hey, Dee how about you go out and get 'partner' or at least a nice dog to fuck. Like one of those damned rabbid poodled.
    that fits your style

    Avid gaming,
    I am most definatly an avid gamer, but what I dont understand is when people say they are but have an intel for cpu.
    Does that make any sense, the new $800 intel chip is hard put to out preform the $150 3000 939-pin 64 amd. Now what i want to know is which is better Nvidia or Radeon I prefer the latter,
    Also doom 3 is not that good of a game halflife 2 is so much better. The heads in doom 3 don't look that great,

    Sad, sad :P - you just don't know where the good roads in CT are! Plenty of awesome twisties and beautiful roads.

    Try the Devil's Hopyard or Rt8 N of Winsted. Lots of great backroads if you look around.

    Vinney is an avid gamer? OMG you lucky bastard. Do you know how rare that is?! I don't game that much but I still get a lot of flame over it from my girlfriend. Man, I envy you :-)

    Dee & Wotan... BOTH of you a a disgrace to yourselves & if neither of you ever post on AT again it will be no great loss.
    Anand.... Sorry to say, but if you think this weather bites, just wait till mid-January...I know you have winter in NC, but except for up in the highest mountains, it can't compare to a brutal New England winter...hang in there & as others have said here, ignore the immature BS that seems to be flooding the site lately, like all things it will pass.
    Have a great holiday! :-) Cap

    Im suprised that posts like Dee's and wotan's arent deleted... They are just rude and i wouldnt want them tainting my blogs...

    NE Wayz, #1 if you look through some of the digital camera reviews from around Anands wedding, there is a pic of them :)

    Keep up the good work Anand!

    Oh ok...I will take your "advise" and go now. You are one of the easiest "people" (hermaphrodite?) to provoke I have ever met and proves that your a n00b =:0)
  • Dee - Monday, December 6, 2004 - link

    Hmmm...looks like someone's feelings got hurt. Since you like to do everything you own way, why don't you take someone's advise this time and go rot in hell.

    You damn white boy!
  • Wotan - Monday, December 6, 2004 - link

    I go where I want, when I want, and post what I like regardless of anyone or anything. So you know what Dee? Shut yer dick sucker fuck boy.

    good day Anand. don't waste your time on them 'stupid crap' that gets posted. you blog is real cool. I read it every other day at 3am while i'm posted out here on a Native American reservation.
  • crtfanboy - Monday, December 6, 2004 - link

    hey Anand, you should write an article about how you deal with all the stupid crap that gets posted here
    and elsewhere (like that silly political flamewar that should have been about internet tax)

    I mean, I know Kubicki drinks his volume in alcohol every time he gets slashdotted... but is that more effective than quality time with loved ones or gaming (with or without loved ones)?
  • Ashok - Monday, December 6, 2004 - link

    Hey Anand, I'm eager to read the ASUS A8N-SLI Review. I remember you mentioning that you have one at hand. A review asap will be very nice my friend. Like always its very nice to read the articles on this site and you definitely do it a very personal touch with your blogs. Keep up the good work. Don't work too hard though!
  • Dee - Monday, December 6, 2004 - link

    #5: Are you feeling alright buddy? I maybe got a clue as to what you were trying to say from the first two lines, but after that your stupid comments just blurred.

    Care to elaborate the first two lines a bit more?

    If you don't like the people on this site, maybe you shouldn't post on it then. Nobody is forcing you to post, so why waste your time?

    Anyways, shut up you moron and get lost.
  • Wotan - Monday, December 6, 2004 - link

    I bow to the infinite wisdom of Dee. Why don’t you stand outside the grocery store parking lot waiting for bums to take shopping carts so the cost of food will go down you idiot.

    You know, this website is so full of @#$% it is unbelievable, along with the overwhelming majority of people in it. Let’s all go out and get AMD tattoo’s…oh wait we can’t because most of us are under 18.

    I suppose I click on the link because they are listed alphabetically, and why I keep coming back just proves my sadomasochistic tendencies. Well, the Cat-O-9 tails is waiting.

    #3: Hmmm... I don't know how I would actually comment on your ignorant post. There are countless articles that compare PC vs. Mac. We all know PCs are better for pretty much everything, but that doesn't mean that UNIX platform (Mac) is inferior. You can do a lot of things on Mac in a better enviornment than you can do with windows. Just from the looks perspective, have you seen how OS X flows so smoothly while windows doesn't have that capability.

    Both platforms have their pluses and minuses, so you can't exactly compare the both together.

    I guess you are one of those newbies who doesn't have a clue. First all of all, you seem to boast your PC building skills by saying, "with my home built PC". A machine from Dell can handle photoshop just fine (assuming it's fast enough). Secondly, you have no clue about the Mac platform since you say, "MAC" instead of "Mac". Mac is short for Macintosh. It is not an abbreviation. Looks like you need classes in both English and Computers.


    And then you stupidly boast about your illegal software downloads. The reason why companies charge such high prices is because of dumbass people like you. Us innocent users who pay for every software we use have to pay higher prices because companies have to cover their loses from software piracy.


    It's clear that you are a trash and burden on the face of earth. Just shut the hell up and get out. Why don't you commit suicide you piece of shit?
  • The_Necromancer - Sunday, December 5, 2004 - link

    Ok, The only reason to by a mac is if you want to do editing on photos, or videos, but hey I do pretty well with my home built PC. I would like doing more but i would never buy a MAC, there is no reason! Just go out and pirate your own copy of adobe photo shop or viedo editor like i did and you will be set.

    Yeah, the Mac section seems a little empty. :)

    Hey Anand,

    I think you may be the one spreading Mac Fever.

    It has been a long time since I posted in your blog. Hopefully everything is going well with you and your wife (we never got the pics, though...)
