Careful.  Isn't saying you're going to do that a forum no no?  >_>  (Wouldn't want you to get in trouble.)

 

What's a .dmg?

An OS X executable Mac equivalent of an ISO

Office 365 is a scam by MS to squeeze more money out of people who don't know better.

 

Even older versions of MS office are still perfectly fine to use even now.  I'm still using ms word, PowerPoint, excel 2007 with no trouble at all.  The only reason to buy new copies of ms office is if you need additional computer authorizations available. 

 

I use LibreOffice, personally.

Although I hate Apple with a passion. There are a lot of college students going to mac. First of all Office 365 works on Windows and MAC. So yeah, MS office is on MAC now. Some people like Mac OS better than Windows. Considering recent events and Microsoft forcing shit on to people, I dont blame them. If they already own many MAC's, it really doesnt make much sense for them to get a Windows machine. I mean, who says they know how to use Windows? The only reason I have Windows is, I started with Windows 3.11 and worked my way up. Im sure if I started on Mac OS, Id be a MAC person. Now I will say, I consider Apple to be like a cult. Its like there customers worship them like PC gamer's worship our Lord and Savior Gaben. 

 

Times are changing. Hell Im considering Linux, especially if MS kills up Win32. If they lock shit to the Windows Store, Ill be done with MS forever. 

If you have wver used Office on a Mac it is cancer, nothing works the same as it does in windows, I literally couldn't figure out how to do stuff in excel due to no right click, and when it was fullsceen it didn't show all of the regular tabs. 

 

And if you are still running a 32bit os those have been out of date even since computers started using more then 4gb of ram, and a lot of software has moved away from it completely.

even pentium 4's have 64bit support.

(also, it takes a few minutes for office to load on C2D and powerpc macs running leopard or slow leopard..)

An OS X executable

Is an executable the installer for the OS?  What you use to create a bootable disc or USB drive.

Idk that I enjoy MacOS.  It's been over a decade since I last used a Mac.  That my parents owned.

 

Bunnies and ponies are NOT disgusting.  ?

 

I use an iPad Air not a pro btw.

I have an iPad Air also!  

Yay! iPad Air buddies (I have an air 2)!

 

Tbh the iPads are one of the few products from Apple I personally actually like, with the others being MacBook Pro retina 13" and some iPhones. I don't care too much for the customizability of android for my tablet and iPads have superior hardware compared to other tablets so... Yeah.

We have ourselves a traitor boys! He doesn't know who our savior, he who we worship, he who we preach to so that we can prevent world war 3! Kill him, my glorious pcmasterrace, the glorious race that shall one day rule the world! Kill this console peasant for once and for all!!! /s

 

He's the co-founder of valve, which created steam, so he's often seen as the great god and king of the pcmasterrace.

 

P.S. On the subject of Gaben preventing world war 3... I found this:

The same mean evil a Valve who makes a game series the world loves to death yet refuses to pull their heads out of a certain body part icky stuff comes out of and FINISH THE DAMN SERIES?!  ?

 

Seriously, why make a couple of those HL2 episode things but then not make/release the last one?  

 

There was supposed to be an episode 3 and if I reminder right ep 2 ends with a cliffhanger intended to lead into ep 3.  

 

Not to mention that the gaming community has been going nuts hoping for a HL3 yet despite the fact that making HL3 would essentially allow Valve to PRINT MONEY they're too stupid to do that.

 

Sorry.  I just HATE it when developers leave a series unfinished despite overwhelming popular support/demand/interest.

I'm certain they have their reasons for not creating HL3 - I wouldn't go so far to call our Lord and Saviour of the PCMR, Gaben Stupid... 

 

 

He does sit on the Steam throne, fashioned from the dollar bills sucked from the wallets of parents from around the world. - He has to know something that we don't.

Oh hell no. It's only for iPad Air 1 only :3 /s

(we got another one in our Apple ecosystem! Quick throw another apple logo!!)

 

if if anything I only use an iPad for gaming (superior hardware!) and content consumption.. Although I jailbreak for some customizing 

i probably worded this really badly.

[Theminecraftaddict555]

Well i got one interesting conversation from someone at yahoo answers

 

So a user was asking if an i5 without a graphics card on 45+ settings

 

Now of course a lot of the answerers ( i just stumbled upon the question in hand and didn't answer it just to see the other answers for fun) stated that his computer won't even load since an igpu is also considered a graphics card if the i5 processor had one

 

Then this one guy (who got the best answer by the author for some reason) called everyone idiots and stated that the i5 has integrated graphics, so minecraft should run at 45+ on minecraft...

 

Now I decide to comment on his so called "Educated/techsavy answer" and tell him "So you assume that every i5 core processor is going to have an igpu, who's the idiot now :)"  Also take note that the author of the question didn't also specify which i5 core at all LOL

 

I definitively should come up with more of these stories LOL

HA HA HA HA HA. HL3 is a myth. We have a better chance of the US government coming out and telling us Aliens Exist then we have to see HL3. I am convinced the game will never see the light of day. Valve to me is no longer a Software Company. They are now a service company, their service is Steam. 

 

When was the last time they released a game that mattered? Portal 2?
