Mac vs PC

Warning: Article based on personal opinions you should not take seriously.

 

Yes, the Mac vs PC, an endless battle which has claimed thousands of innocent nerdy lives...

Who has NOT heard of a Mac? Even the people living in the kampung kampung places 200 miles away in the middle of stupid trees know what a Mac is. Thanks to the unarguably most stereotypical advertising by McDonalds Apple. Mac users are portrayed by Apple to be hip, trendy, and young (and not obese), wearing sneakers with funky hair, and tend to be for the upper class snobs people. (and rich dumb blonde kinda people). 

As an added bonus, Apple makes fun of Micro$oft in their ad's too. (Which are shown later.) Two birds with one apple. (Ha ha ha.)


And if you're reading this with a Mac, I'm not saying that you're a snob or you're rich. Its just what you're portrayed  as. By me. Lol. Dont get offended, really, its nothing to get offended over..

First of all. Macs are ridiculously overpriced. You pay [insert your own currency] 5000 for a Mac, and you get the same performance on a PC for 2000. So the extra 3000 is a brand thing, where you pay for the brand, where you buy yourself the rights to be stereotyped. Its merely a hype, its a hype its a hype its a hype its a hype.

So you say the Mac is more user friendly? I agree. But before the Mac was around, everyone used a PC. No one ever complained about it being hard to use. Instead, we faced the challenge, and used our brains to adapt to the daunting process of learning how to use it. But now, we don't have to. Get a Mac. There's no learning or thinking involved! Yet they say we humans are becoming smarter as time passes. But as technology advances we are in fact becoming lazier and incapable. (My opinion.)



What's even worse are those kids that get Macs because they think its cool to have one, and when anyone talks about their PC's (online or in real life) there's bound to be some intrusion into the conversation where he would shine light onto his Mac and boast away (or something along those lines). The sad part is that they make statements like 'my Mac is so much better' without any justification whatsoever, and most of the time they do not know much or anything at all about computers.

There is not much of a difference actually. A Mac and a PC, both computers, using intel chipsets, the only difference is that they are running on different Operating Systems. So.. software - games, programs such as photoshop and such. Those are software. If there were a list of compatible software with the Mac OS X and Windows, and if the list for a Mac were a meter long, Windows would be ten meters. Its the truth.

When it comes to getting the work done, a PC is so much better, work, I mean, as in, work in an office. Imagine going to work with a Mac. Who does that? There is Windows Server Edition, is there a Mac OS X Server Edition? Dont think so.
Get a Mac Book Pro (MBP), try be smart, install XP, or Vista, use it. Sure its dead fast, but boiling hot too.

In an office environment, a PC would definitely win hands down. Micro$oft Office, heck it even has the word office in it, promising. Efficient yet dynamic. How about cybercafe's? If a Mac is as good as they claim to be, why are cybercafe's using PC's? And its not all about playing games.

Viruses. Its true that PC's are much more prone to viruses and whatnot, and that Mac's are 'immortal'. Why is this so? Because hackers dont give a #@*! about Macs. All the important relevant stuff are in PC's. So more viruses are made for PC's.

Hack a Mac and what do they get? Wannabe mixed music, 497271 cam whore photos, and idiot-proof edited photos produced by the creativity of the computer.

The problem with a Mac is that it's simplicity has fallen to such a level where, simple minds linger about. Level stupid. PC too complicated? Use a Mac. Unless you're mentally challenged, an old folk with impaired vision, cancerous, or stoned, you don't need a Mac.

So now I end my rant, without taking any sides. (Unbiased too!)

So, what do YOU want? Oh and Vista sucks. Use XP.

Lastly , and most importantly, HAVE FUN DOING IT .

Gender of Perfect Lover : Sponge, female (I'll explain later), more specifically, BOB, SpongeBob.

8 Different Points About Perfect Lover :

- GREAT COOK - It's a fact that SpongeBob makes the best crabby patties in Bikini Bottom!

- RESPONSIBLE AND TOLERANT - Remember the episode where SpongeBob and Patrick finds an orphaned clam, and decides raise the clam together? Yeah, remember how Patrick did nothing, and left SpongeBob at home cleaning the house, taking care of the baby clam for days? This shows how much commitment and tolerance she has, perfect for a relationship.

- ATHELETIC - Jellyfishing (dangerous) and Snail racing, what more could you ask for?!

- PINEAPPLE - SpongeBob lives in a giant pineapple! Who WOUDLNT want to live in a giant pineapple!? Hungry? Bite!

- FUN - She loves to blow bubbles, has a pet snail.. GARY! And plays in the snow (the snowball fight episode?). OH! And she can sing! (like a man? o.O)

- SPONGE - Physically and emotionally, soft, nice to hug, can absorb water, in case any is spilt around.

- MONEY - Dosen't work for money, but because of passion; and is still somehow rich despite Mr Krabs stingyness.

Most importantly..


no not the words on the pic.. =\

- HOLES - SpongeBob has many. Okay, I shut up now. =P

Large Hadron Collider

Being the nerd that I am, I bring to you more scientific information for cool kids like you. =D

See, its large.

Behold, the LHC, Large Hadron Collider. Im not gonna make up something like 'LHC stands for Loser Had Cake', because this is SERIOUS BUSINESS. (Nerds! Click on the wiki link for more orgasmic information!)

So this LHC thing is a particle accelerator. Okay, so a particle accelerator is this thingy you use to produce magnetic fields (with magnets!), and then these magnetic fields collides small particles. Why do we want to collide small particles?

Because you know those scientist people in lab coats? It turns them on.

So you're wondering why its such a big deal.. who cares about this large thingy.

First of all, its LARGE. The tunnel is 27KM long. 27KM!!!! Thats like.. Kuching to Damai? And its underground. And while its in operation, the magnets will contain 10,000,000,000 Joules of energy. (About the same energy content as 230KG of pure fat.)

So the main concern is that, they're gonna collide these particles (skip the scientific detail) and while colliding, there is a chance (a very small chance?) that... mini black holes will be created.

And if you still don't get it, black holes are bad. Imagine, an invisible ball... which starts off really really small.. then whatever it comes into contact with, is 'eaten' and becomes part of this ball, making it.. bigger.. and bigger and bigger. Eventually, consuming the whole world.

The world will end on the 10th of September?  

Thats when they're gonna launch a beam through the LHC for the first time to see what happens. Which is in 2 days time.

The good news is that we wont die first, if it happens. But the bad news is we still die. :D

But sadly...

"A new report provides the most comprehensive evidence available to confirm that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)’s switch-on, due on Wednesday next week, poses no threat to mankind."

Awww. No fun, lets just hope they're wrong.

Guys & DotA

It has been the most sought after answer, to why guys DotA. Because there is more to 'they're just losers' (partly true) or because 'they have no friends' (partly true again. =.=). As I understand what it's like (I DOTA! :D), I've conducted multimillion dollar experiments with hours of extensive research to come up with an logical answer, a breakthrough in science.

First, what is this.. DotA you ask. Well, to keep things simple and easy to understand, DotA is a game, that you play on the computer, with other strangers/losers/geeks (whatever you want to say) across Malaysia. Attempts to play with people overseas will produce a phenomenon known as.. the lag. A lag is when there is a temporary pause (couple of seconds) within the game. 

This lag stimulates the limbic lobes in the limbic system of the brain through a visual impulse. Stimulation of these lobes produce uncontrollable anger. Players tend to get impatient and start swearing.

DotA requires teamwork as a game consists of 2 teams, with 5 players on each team.

Each player controls a 'hero'. They use their heroes to go around killing their opponents heroes. 

You should have heard about levels somehow or another. Like in a typical conversation between two DotA victims. Well, these heroes can gain levels, and it lasts as long as the game is in play. 
DotA should not be mistaken as something like MapleStory. =.= Levels are not kept after the game ends. Its like football. You do not keep the goals you score.


MapleStory is a different addiction. Which affects only females, however, it also affects ball-less guys. =D



The statistics: 

- You ask any guy if they've played DotA today, and 50% of the time, its a yes. 

- 2 in 7 relationship problems are caused by DotA.

- Each year, 24,000 innocent lives are lost because of DotA.


Okay so they're not so true but you know, DotA kills people, it ruins relationships, it turns you into stone like Medusa (not the dota character you freak).


The Addiction

Now I shall answer the biggest question ever asked, bigger than the Mary Magledene crap.

DotA is known as the only visual drug up to date, which enters the bloodstream through the eyes. DotA has a half life of 5 hours, and on average, 20mg of DotA is absorbed per hour of gaming. It is only effective on males, due to the lateral gender differences in the brain. In friendly terms, DotA is known as Defence of the Ancients. But thats bullcrap.

DotA is derived from 'Do' for Dopamine 't' for Tanha and 'A' for Acrasia.

The discovery of DotA dates back to the Archaic periods of the ancient Greek, hence the term Acrasia; used in philosophical literature, which means a lack of self control, or a weak will. This is experienced with DotA, where not playing is desired but, the victim plays anyway.

In Buddhism, Tanha means thirst or craving. This is also experienced by DotA victims. It is believed that the Buddha was one of the first few to ever experience DotA at 550mg. At this point he was said to have attained the great enlightenment.

Confucius was also one of the very few pioneers of DotA. Many of his famous quotes derived from his experiences with DotA.

"Do not worry about holding high position; worry rather about playing your 
proper role." - Confucius

Dopamine, a hormone responsible for feelings of motivation and reward while also increasing heart rate and blood pressure. This is experienced by DotA players too.

So basically DotA is Dompamine Tanha Acrasia, which would mean, a motivation for craving, without self control. Reward is gained when a player wins the game. So there's also a desire to win. If the victim does not win, he enters a state of dissatisfaction and anxiety.

Okay, an example.

Lets say I play DotA for an hour, I would have 20mg of DotA in my bloodstream, which would already produce slight emotional effects. At 10mg the effects would still remain, but at a lesser magnitude. At 5mg, the effect of DotA is wearing off. There would be no more extra dopamine, however there is still a craving. The induced acrasia is purely psychological and can only be overcome by mental strength. The craving lasts for as long as there is more than 0.43mg of DotA

So the effects of an hours game of DotA would last for at least another 24 hours.

Which is why, an average DotA addict must play at least one game a day. Any questions class? =)
So dont get pissed if someone plays DotA for 5 hours straight, its the drug, not them, they do not have the control to stop themselves, so the only option is to join em. =D
