laugh out loud I use a PC at home, 4 Macs and 1 PC at work, and iPhone as my cell. I'm spread all around the conformist and non-conformist world.

Making blanket statements like "apple sucks" without any sort of support or justification makes you an idiot.

Oh, please, you did not just imply that owning a Mac makes you a conformist . As for opening the case, I've opened my MacBook Pro up and replaced the RAM, totally fine under warranty. I upgraded some parts in my friend's iMac, also okay under warranty. The Mac Pros are designed to be easily serviced by users.

Also, my desktop PC was built by me for gaming and runs Windows 7. My servers run FreeBSD. My Linux workstations run Ubuntu.

alright, seriously... you need to pull that iMac out of your ass. WTF is wrong with you? Why are you so defensive about Macs? Geesh, it's just a farking computer and we're just all joking around about it. Glad you're not a Celtics fan, or else, you might actually come after me physically.

I don't understand, why does being conservative have anything to do about trees and MPG? I'm conservative, but I do care about trees. I just care more about other things. And being conservative, I like to conserve money and not buy cars that uses a lot of gas (unless your job or family requires you to have a large vehicle, of course).

of course not. That would be stupid. I was joking about it.

Thank you for that observation. I have never understood why some vocal "conservatives" try to bolster their "conservative" credentials by claiming that they hate trees and drive big SUVs.

Why on earth do people think those 2 ideas are related? Conservatives should be just as concerned about "conserving" our natural resources, their own financial resources, and other things as so-called "liberals" (another term that is way, way too broad).

Conservatives might have different views on how to conserve natural land and fossil fuels, but being conservative should not mean that one does not care about those things.

Of course, try to build a power plant next to a "conservative's" property, and they will get "liberal" about land use real, real quick. As you see, the terms really mean little. It's too bad politics cloud our ability to find common ground and reasonable solutions. Ok, enough. This was not meant as a flame or a political argument. Just semantics.

Apple gonna get sued over the name. Now the sad part is that someone was willing to admit they had the name "ipad" first,
