Hey zak,
evill said he was working on unbanning you from GR. and then he banned me for a week :(


Title: Re: I'm back
Post by: SiGmA_X on June 08, 2002, 04:39:50 am
Do you think he will un-ban me? If so, I might actually get a Dual G4 1Ghz... They look nice, and probably can crunch some major WU's (F@H (http://folding.stanford.edu/))

Yes, I don't think that Evill likes me very well. He banned me because he thought that I was Asterax, when in fact I am not. I, in fact, live over 1,000 miles away from Asterax. If Evill would un-ban me, I probably would go back to Mac's, if I can get $5000 to buy a new Mac (My old iMac400 is REALLY SLOW)

Well, when the PC kills the Mac, it would show dominance, as does my AMD XP1900+ (OC'd 1.7GHz)...

Post by: †FiRE Infection on June 08, 2002, 09:13:49 pm
Yea but you just said you would like to get the mac..would that just be for gaming and you still like the pc better?


Title: Re: I'm back
Post by: Brain on June 08, 2002, 09:59:00 pm
a mac just for gaming putposes. wow that would be a major  change from the norm
(where mac users get pc's for gaming)


Title: Re: I'm back
Post by: SiGmA_X on June 09, 2002, 05:45:08 am
The Mac would be for Macie stuff, and the PC for PCie stuff! I would use the Mac mainly for graphics, because I hate the layout of PhotoShop and Fireworks and Dreamweaver and even Bryce on the PC.

The PC would be my programming computer and my gaming computer, and the Mac would be my graphics computer.

(Mac's dont have enought games to be gaming computers, if you have a PC around)

What kinda skript kiddie chooses a Windows based PC (or one where you have to reboot into Linux) over a Mac that has a *nix foundation for programming?

One that thinks Dreamweaver is a programming tool...?

Or that thinks PHP is a programing language....?

Or that thins that JavaScript and Java are the same thing....?

For all you that think we are being a bit harsh... yes, you can actually write programs on any machine... and then compile them.  But programing in Windoze is as bad as programing in OS 9 (or maybe a little worse).  You have to buy some expensive programs to complie, test, degug, etc.  If you are really programing.  All your flavors of Unix have these tools pretty much built in.  OS X has a fantastic set of development tools (and Apple gives most of them out for free).  

Also, I have 28 Java programers working on my current project (plus oracle etc).  Each one of them that has a Windoze machine (say 22) uses it as a dumb terminal.  They log onto the Sun server and program there.  It saves them much time and effort rather then moving the code around and dealing with it that way.

this is my thread, get this geek stuff out please..


Also, has anyone hears/ can anyone find out what Evill is doing about my ban, if he is in fact going to unban me, or not, if so, when?

thanks

Romulus, it's good that your back, but I advise staying out of trouble. Of course this, coming from me sounds like complete shit. Err, this is a PG-13 post kids, so ask your parents for permission before you read it. Heh, well, I thought that was funny.

Thank you Asterax. Macies are a real pain in the ass sometimes... :( And they hold a major bias!

Zak -

It is good you are back.  I should be returning to GR sometime this week.  I am getting my computer shipped to me and I am working on getting it hooked up to the Cable connection down here.  I should be seeing you around sometime.

Do you fuckin guys ever talk about something else then computers? Especially you Rom, geez, sometimes you guys are fuckin gay.

I work infront of a 1GB dualy with all teh fixings, even a DVD-R all day long, do you see me expaling how "cool" it is?

If you come back, i'm shoving an mp5 barrel down your "1Gig maouth"..lol

Goddamn mod's :p... Don?t edit my posts unless you want TONS of PC people here :)

Dest - I am a g33k, and I live to be a g33k. It is who I am.


Title: Re: I'm back
Post by: Ace on June 11, 2002, 02:12:16 am
Rom, I haven't messed with any of your posts even though the delete button is mighty tempting. As for anything you may wish to try, we will delete it and if you get out of hand you will be banned. Simple as that.


As for your comment about using Linux, since you said you game a lot, I'm sure you don't use Linux for gaming. You probably use Linux for stability, and Windows for a normal GUI. Lemme check... hold on... yep, I get both from OS X. Even if you were truly just into Linux, you could run it on a Mac just as well. It's hardly an OS requiring massive hardware.


Title: Re: I'm back
Post by: SiGmA_X on June 11, 2002, 02:27:19 am
Thank you for not messing with my posts.

I use XP for everything. And what do you know, it has FAR more applications and FAR more games.


Title: Re: I'm back
Post by: Ace on June 11, 2002, 02:34:58 am
Far more applications? Hah! Not only are there native OS X applications for anything I could possibly need, but I also can get a wealth of open source applications for *nix-based systems. This will far outnumber (and outclass for the most part) the applications for XP. As far as games go, there are enough games. No one is ever going to be able to play all the myriad of titles available for Windows. If you are only using your computer for gaming, you should just get a console system instead.


Title: Re: I'm back
Post by: SiGmA_X on June 11, 2002, 02:52:18 am
Console?s have shitty graphics, if you haven?t noticed... Nothing can compare to my GeForce4Ti4400 OC'd in a little console. I do have a PS2, but I only use it for 2 player games (GT3A, RF, etc.) and GTA3.

I think that if you noticed, WinXP can run ALL games that were written in the many flavors of Windows, and my PC can also run many more applications. And I can even use Linux if I want to. Mac's have a very limited game market, and they get everything (Other then high end graphics programs) much later then I do on my PC.

Oh, and Dest, I really think you would be able to kill me very much in RS now. Have you ever played CS? If you can play any type of map, and come out highly on top (5/1 to 10/1!) then you can play RS with ease. RS is like sleeping compared to CS.


Title: Re: I'm back
Post by: Jeb on June 11, 2002, 04:22:35 am
Rom, i have 35+ games on my mac, all are in wide release on the PC (don't ask how i got so many games, or i'll knife you).

Even though i have a extensive library of games on my mac, i spend most my time playing 1 and 3 others.
Rogue Spear, Q3:TA, TO: AOT, and RTCW.

Just because PCs have more  games doesn't mean shit. Frankly my dear, most people have 1 game they like.

I've played CounterStrike, and i didn't find it that amuzing. There is hardly enough cheating on MP games on macs, to make games suck. Try playing RS online in the PC world, i know many PC rs vets who quite because of it.

i didn't buy my mac for gaming, i bought my mac for every day computer shit, and frankly the amount of games on the PC is a weak idea of geting people to switch


Title: Re: I'm back
Post by: SiGmA_X on June 11, 2002, 09:34:39 am
I know. The reason I got mine was that it cost me around $1500, with a 19" TF CRT display. It runs circles are Mac's, and it costs 1/2 to 1/3 less!

Games are just a highlite. In a ideal world, Macies would get all the cool new games also (Have you ever played GR,RA2:YR,or C4? Great games!)...

The PC is a grea box because it can take any flavor of Linux, it has great power, and it has a lot of programs (Far more then for Macs, I hate to tell you) that are avalible to Windows and its multi-flavored Linux.


Title: Re: I'm back
Post by: Grifter on June 11, 2002, 05:18:50 pm
Rom...
First, anything you can run on linux can be run on a Mac... Linux runs on the Mac.... not that you need it. ?You can run Xfree86 over OS X as well. ?

OS X is much better then Linux, hands down. ?You can do EVERYTHING on OS X that you can on Linux... but OS X has the nice, easy to use interface and programs that Linux doesn't.

As for Windoze vs OS X.... games are the only thing that Windoze can really brag about. ?What program that get's used is on Windoze that isn't either on the Mac directly or in a different form?? ?What can you do on a Windoze machine that I can't do just as well (or better) on a Mac?? ?Notice, you always have to have two operating systems... boot in one or the other... with OS X.. it's all one.

Also, nobody that I know of is messing with your posts.... don't threaten us.  Just by taking your post and the IP address I could probably have your ISP drop you (just to threaten it is usually against the TOS... and I have done this to others that pissed me off trying to hack into my servers).  If anything happens to this board, you better believe that every IP you've ever used will be traced back to the ISP's and all of them will get a copy of this thread....  And that is just where I'll start.  I don't like people threatening things like this.... period.  Joke or no joke, I take it very seriously.

A threat to do what? Have PC people join the Forum? LOL


Title: Re: I'm back
Post by: Brain on June 11, 2002, 06:58:01 pm
unfortunalty for you, rom, grift has at least 20 different people who will verify his story, and i'd bet that mauti has the original post as well... and besides gift might have taken a ss, and well in that case you are kinda screwed, watch what you say next time
*makes mental note to take ss next time*

also, in what way do you think your post was modified?, and why did you quote my post when complaining about it?


Title: Re: I'm back
Post by: Grifter on June 11, 2002, 08:23:00 pm
LOL, of course I took a screen shot of it.  Along with one of Rom's profile and a few other posts,  to just add some more depth....  

Rom knows that I'm not stupid enough to warn him before I've made copies....  So he is warned, enough said.



Title: Re: I'm back
Post by: SiGmA_X on June 11, 2002, 09:37:07 pm
Yes, I know you are intelligent Grifter. I know your strategy well enough. I just hate to tell you that I have said nothing wrong. Having 1000 PC users come here is no problem. Mauti might like the increase in posts and hits! I wouldn't do anything harmful at all. I am not like that.


Title: Re: I'm back
Post by: Grifter on June 11, 2002, 10:16:30 pm
Say what you want now Rom... but I have your old posts right here... and you know exactly what you said and implied.... including "taking them down"...

It was pretty clear to me.  It seemed pretty clear to Ace when he read it too.

Doesn't matter... say what you want now.  Like I said, it's a "just in case" you pull some crap here that I'll make sure to take care of things.


Title: Re: I'm back

as long as they are smarter than rom, i wouldnt mind more people to laugh at on the forums

compared to rom, rapid was an amature

Post by: jn.loudnotes on June 19, 2002, 04:18:04 pm
zak, why are you still here?  I thought we asked you to leave our computer discussion forum a long time ago...

Have you noticed the only people happy to have you back are newbies?  The rest of us got sick of you a long time ago.  And Mauti is just being polite.  So shut up.

And Grif...not that I care about Rom at all....but how exactly are you going to get his IP?  Last time I checked, only Mauti can view the IP that's logged with each post.

Are you an ?ber-moderator now?  Although I'm not sure even Bondo can view the IPs either.  What is this...why was I not invited...

Title: Re: I'm back
Post by: Grifter on June 19, 2002, 06:57:43 pm
No loud, nothing so grand as all that... I just skiped over the assumption that if Rom really did sick his script kiddie HAXOR wanna be friends to attack the forums here (as stated in his pre-modified threats), Mauti would be more then happy to provide it... I figured it was a safe assumption, so just didn't bother to mention it.


Title: Re: I'm back
Post by: Ace on June 19, 2002, 06:58:24 pm
Loud, GRIFT and the rest of us still cannot see IP addresses, but I'm sure if Rom tried to pull anything Mauti would gladly share Rom's IP in order to take just action against him.


Title: Re: I'm back
Post by: jn.loudnotes on June 20, 2002, 09:31:43 am
I'm sure he would too...I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out on some new moderator power in my dinky Mods forum that's now filled only with n00b spam.

Oh well...you never know....
