oh cool, so you weren't attacking me! haha and the joke wasn't bad. do you watch star trek?
and are you saying that you support linux as well? cool man. haha sheesh. i feel a little sheepish. I'd like to be your little buddie over the internet if you like. sounds like we would get along great, i'm a dork too. haha. a's in calc ap bc class all the way. but that doesn't mean i'm a wimp. or that i'm not cool. haha. i'll be cool with you. and maybe one day things will develop... can you imagine a business partner willing to help you a lot that you met years ago ovet the internet with google? i plan to go to a full 8 years of college for computer science. i want to get into something serious and sophisticated whatever it is. being devoted to something like that is my entire aim. i want to be able to write my entire programs on my own some day. and i like your idea of using the mac for programming rather than fight with linux all the time. seems i do a little of that every time they release and upgrade or something... idk. i'm managing to get around it more and more anyway, yea there actually an illegal release of mac that can be attained no charge. dubbed hackintosh. they wacked it to make it possible.... but i don't think that they implanted vulnerabilities within it to gain control though... they have their own website dedicated to it, or at least all the legal parts that they can keep posted haha and I love what you said about windows, too... if only there were some way to pin microsucks for everything they've done... but the world that doesn't include serious computer users that an operating system shouldn't be as horrible as microsoft. they've grown accustomed to it... you're statements do certainly explain how microsoft managed to cram their junk in the face of like... the entire world. This would never have happened if these machines didn't come preloaded with their crap. and forget what i said about every os getting their fair share, mac and linux are worth a damn and windows isn't. windows is a must today simply because of all the software that has been funded hugely and has... muscle i guess. it's the software on it that makes it a must. like games, corporate applications... junk other people built thinking they had to put it on windows. you know what i was saying to my future professor, it would really suck if in 20 years we were contracdicted by a surge of viruses and newfound vulnerabilities for mac and linux. I wonder if they are as really secure as we say they are or if they just miss the spotlight because windows has the popularity... but then again, i wonder if windows purposely has people paying for security software by simply punching holes in their system. see, i have thoughts like this going on in my head too.
