Star Beast was the name of the first draft of a script that would eventually become Alien.

The problem used to be uninstalling it. No idea about how it works today, but cleansing your system of itunes in the old days involved bathing your HD in acid.

I think I lolled a little in my pants.

This would be a fair rebuttal if half of those mice had more than a single button.

Yeah, I'm old. But I will point out that they continued to pack single button mice with their package computers for a further five years after that. Selling broken shit with built-in obsolesce to retards is pretty much what their business empire is built on. My point was that absolutely nothing has changed in that regard.

'tis simple. The programs used in graphic design (Adobe, previously Macromedia, etc) were better for, if not native to, Mac. The PC ports were pretty much garbage. Going to uni to study graphic design meant learning how to use a Mac. So it's ingrained in the culture. Lecturers, themselves mostly graphic designers who failed at getting anything decent done in the industry, are not going to relearn their skillset. Using Mac will be the norm until these fools are fired / honorably kill themselves. Macs are pretty. Artistic types, especially the more vapid set, are enthralled by pretty bling. The fact that your computer only has ONE FUCKING MOUSE BUTTON BECAUSE STEVE JOBS WAS A FUCKING CANCEROUS CHIMP is moot. You look cool while doing it. You are an artist, aesthetics are important.

The little fat furry critter did not see his shadow this year. Hooray for early Spring! http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/02/02/465253970/groundhog-day-punxsutawney-phil-did-not-see-his-shadow

Actually, twitter works in inverse proportion to actual worth of thought.

It's a step up from anthropomophizing foxes and rabbits which is the usual shit around here.

go read Hyperion or something.

[morbid] you know, reading this thread makes me think of the doomers who *did* actually die, as opposed to those who wish they would die so they could read their fucking obituary. All hail Amy.[/morbid] *lüt excepted

REMEMBER MY NAME

No. It really doesn't.

Cancer I hope.

yeah, difficult to believe that at some point Apple was the platform for Getting Shit Done. Anyone remember that company? I almost liked them.

fuck me, AndrewB/Quasar slapfight. Bring me the vaseline.

good year for cancer so far.

I am part of a secret, shameful society that thinks Battlefield Earth is probably one of the greatest movies ever made. Warped camera angles, monochrome lighting, the discovery that flying dirt is less expensive than actual explosives, a script written by a certifiable shit-eating lunatic, John Travola's fucking glorious performance as a mentally deficient alien, Forest Whitaker's lazy eye swiveling in his skull like an out-of-control and deeply spasticated asteroid... The film is so completely, earnestly. fucking spectacularly retarded that it actually transcends celluloid and becomes something truly and uniquely terrible, like a fucking stroke victim that will not stop dancing for your pleasure.

DRM free or GTF out. I will own what I buy. Fuck Valve, fuck Microsoft, and fuck retards who gleefully accept broken copy protection and built-in obsolescence.

OG represent.

Does not the forest burn to remove dead wood? Does not new life spring forth from the ashes? Rejoice, for the fagot screams as it is consumed in flame, and the lesson is goodly taught.
