Yeah, looks like I am wrong about the Core thing. I am distinguished mentally-challenged. I do know that comparatively speaking Apple's were kind of cheap compared to the other PCs swith the same tech. It was Apple's first Intel chip, so I think they got them at a competetive rate.

yeah, I've been using PCs at home for the past 10+ years, been through 3 to 4 desktops and one laptop, and the only time I had problems was on the first computer. It was a compaq and when the internet was confusing and new to me. I weep every time I'm forced to use an Apple computer at the computer labs on campus.

in other news, most iphone games are still shit. Surprisingly, the decent ones I've played (beefheart and some 2D platformer) were free--this further proves that Apple fans don't understand how money works.

seeing a lot of normally non-distinguished mentally-challenged people getting spyware through hacked ad servers lately.especially wow people using all sorts of terribad free guild hosting sites. so it's still possible though a good resident AV nowadays picks up anything and everything.

my beef with apple is the same one it's been for decades-their UIs are totally inflexible and have terrible quirks for people used to using computers in a methodical, task-driven, left-brain fashion.

I got a Vundo trojan from Yahoo's main page (one of those featured viral vid clips, it embedded a codec that was a trojan when you clicked on it). Then got another one from a banner ad on a Howard Stern Fan Forum.

Just two days ago, I got another one when I followed the Pat Buchanan link found on Drudge (serves me right, I guess). I was using Google Chrome and fully updated Java/etc, but it still installed itself on my computer.

Malwarebytes easily cleaned them all up ... but if I was running Adaware or Spybot (like most people do), it would have never detected them.

I did go to Free Shoes University-even shopped at the Dillards where Peter Warrick and Laverneous Coles got his cool deals-but I got the hell out of there after I graduated. Working in the same town as you went to college in is a terrible idea and I have a really nice gig that I've been at for like nine years now.

btw even when I was attending FSU I would go to gators basketball games in hogtown because it was actually fun to watch (and I had a friends with benefits arrangement with a high-school associate there), unlike FSU. Except for that time we beat Arizona, which was awesome.

DJ_Tet · « **Reply #85 on:** January 07, 2009, 02:59:16 PM »

Leave it to Kentucky fan to drag Duke into an argument about assholes and douchebags. It's not like they'd want to actually discuss basketball.

well, in defense of the compu-nubs, if you buy an oem machine and don't immediately reformat it, you'll be stuck with a whole host of bloated, unusable, busted-ass shitware installed by the manufacturer. many of those programs are gaping security holes or memory leaks.

it's kind of sad that someone would have a more secure system if they reformatted with a pirated slipstreamed copy of XP from the piratebay than they would if they did the reformat from the manufactuer's install media.

I would say that Microsoft should seriously slap on a set of guidelines for what software can be shipped with OEM machines, but that would get waaaay too much attention from the Department of Justice thanks to whiny shitty software makers who would get crowded out as a result.

No doubt. I won't be posting much in a college basketball thread. It's a nice diversion but the season is a month long. And this ain't that month.

I'll miss the dook/fsu game this saturday while I'm getting drunk in downtown Charlotte getting ready to walk into an NFL playoff game. That's sports in January. Wake me in Feb and I'll talk some college ball.

Did you see last year's NCAA tournament? The antics of one Super Mario Chalmers ring a bell? Any team can beat anybody on any given night.

Well, to be fair .. I guess it depends on where you live. In the 90's, the Big Ten had many good teams ... even the MAC was much more competitive. Not so much anymore. Kids stayed in school longer, so teams had more of an identity back then. The talent level is so diminished that one elite player can carry a team all the way to the final four. Back then, Shaq couldn't even get his team out of the the sweet sixteen (IIRC).

I can see why you are excited for the season since you live around teams like Kentucky, Louisville, etc.

No, I became a dook fan when I was 10 and started having an interest in sports. I didn't become a GT fan until I went there, much later.

It's not nearly as blasphemous as the guy I went to GT with who was and still is a fucking Georgia Bulldog fan. He's a douchebag.

As awesome as you guys think college basketball was in the 90's, you can only imagine the 80s!

Imagine someone like Patrick Ewing dominating for FOUR years!

Go back and look at the rosters of Big East teams circa 1984 and they are littered with NBA Hall of Famers. Ewing and Sleepy Floyd at Georgetown, Chris Mullen and Mark Jackson at St Johns, the list goes on and on. I didn't start watching college ball until 88 but just learning about the history was so fascinating.

Now we're watching a generation who didn't go to college, the Kobe's, Garnetts etc. The one and done rule isn't going to bring back the glory days of seasoned vets dominating though. The best players will still make only a customary appearance in the ncaa ranks, at best. Some have started to play in Europe for a year (or you can play in the NBDL too.) College basketball has as such been relegated to a somewhat regional sport, and definitely only matters in March.

I think that's what scares College Football, that if they move to a tournament that the regular season will be nearly as meaningless as college basketball. That won't happen though, it will lose some of it's cache but with even an 8 team playoff people will maintain interest in the season with that few of openings.

In college basketball so many teams make the tournament, and so many teams lose their stars that it's hard to keep track of anyone but your favorite teams. The regular season just isn't a draw for most sports fans, that's sad to me as a college basketball fan but it's the truth.
