But how could I let it die? besides, a good chunk of it is not even mine.
Also, I have no option to delete the whole thing, only my posts.
So if you stop responding, then I can and then it can die.
So as they say in starship troopers, "Do your part!"

Pie > Cake

[mlinder]

Pie > Cake

mystic_1

Proof?

I thought not.

[Inigo Montoya]

What pie we talkin about?

[mlinder]

French Apple Cake > any pie, despite being French.
So is a heavy chocolate cake with ganache.

[mystic_1]

French Silk Pie > French Apple Cake.


Also, It's baseball, mom, and apple PIE, not soccer, dad, and carrot CAKE.

Silk Pie is for girls.

Wouldn't the flower be proof of non-manly-ness? 

[mlinder]

Nope, it's proof that I'm comfortable with my manliness.

Here's proof of being cute and manly (I'm wearing a girls hat, so see, I'm totally comfortable with being cute AND manly...)

OK so I'm late to the party... I hate to stirr up the thread again but I had to respond 

In line with the OP windows has come far with virus prevention.  With the latest and greatest windows, good virus protection and firewall software and not have a moron for a user... windows is pretty stout.

As far as "real world" applications for Linux based OS, that has come a long way too.  Think about it... Apple is using PC hardware and running their OSX software.  PCs aren't ONLY running windows anymore.  You have hybrid systems that run OSX with boot camp running windows.


For me I'm stuck.  In the medical field you have to deal with software interface.  Hooking the medical device to a computer to calibrate it requires you to meet the specifications listed in the user manual.  You can be legally liable if a calibration is done on a computer running emulated software.  It sucks.  It really sucks.  It means I get to have an old, slow ass computer cause I need a serial port that meets IS&T virus protection and firewall requirements while the computer itself is an old ass P4 with 512Mb of ram running Windows XP.

The only game I play on a computer is Guild Wars.  The MMORPG is still massive... many many people still join up on World of Warcraft and Guild Wars.  Neither game is compatible with other OS.  Emulating the software on OSX or Linux would probably work but not very well as it takes quite a bit of resources to run the game.

I haven't been fond of mac but I hate iTunes with a passion... trouble trouble trouble...

I don't know. real men wear pink!

I was in that same situation.  Back in the late 90s, I was in the two-way radio business.  A Motorola dealer to be exact.  And radios have been computer programmable for years in terms of frequency and such.  And I found it ironic that the maker of the chip for the Macs was Motorola, the "Intel" for Mac, so to speak, and Motorola didn't write their software that did this programming to run on a Mac!

Then you must retract the silk pie comment.  We can be manly and liks silk pie at the same time.

He is just in the closet!

[mlinder]

Actually I'm a girl.

[Inigo Montoya]

Damn! you an ugly girl! Or was it a sex change gone wrong? 

[mlinder]

I think it was one gone right!

I know what you mean.  The hospital uses motorola pagers and we have to use old windows 98 software that won't work on XP.
