Understandable, but this thread should never have come to that, IMO.

For the love of God, why can't we ever have a mac/iPod/iPhone thread on this board that doesn't devolve into a 4-plus page ****ing match between mac, windows, and Linux? Look, they're all good in their own way, and different people have different preferences. There, I just summed up eight pages of posts from two threads in one post. Now can we just agree to disagree and move on to something else?

I tend to get a bit "offended" when people imply that my professional choices are "malpractice" because of the OS I tend to specify. And yes, sorry, but that crap is precisely the kind of thing that an irrational fanboy would say.

Not really. How much do you know about Macs? Not much. So you specify Windows. You don't have the knowledge to give someone the best suggestion for an OS.

When I was in the business, my partner was the Windows guy and I was the Mac guy, but we both knew enough to work on the other platform and had plenty of experience with the other platform as well. We talked through every client's situation until we both agreed on the correct solution, and generally there wasn't much of a discussion.

Right, because that way, I'm not gonna screw up.

What I'm saying is this: I'm a Windows guy. Say I take a job to implement an Apple-based solution and it doesn't go well. If I turn around and say "WAAAAAH! Apple SUCKS! OS X SUCKS!" you all would say, "They don't suck... You just $#&@ed something up, ya dummy. What are you doing messin' around with Apple stuff?" And you'd be completely, absolutely, 100% right.

But when Apple people try to run Windows and it doesn't go well, and they turn around and say "WAAAAAH! Windows SUCKS! Microsoft SUCKS!" they get all offended when somebody says "They don't suck... You just $#&@ed something up, ya dummy. What are you doing messin' around with Microsoft stuff?" They don't accept that they are unarguably the problem, not Microsoft or Windows.

It doesn't make any sense and, frankly, smacks of undeserved arrogance. That's all I'm sayin'.

So how does Rhapsody do it, then? You don't think Apple's DRM is the only variety out there, do you? Why do they lock consumers into their platform? I thought that's "anti-competitive". :rolleyes:

Slap,

I saw this, and thought of you:

It has to do with what you're posting in the way of foul language being available to everyone. If the word would be eliminated by the software, I suppose you think it's okay to continue to post the same word in a graphic form.

Either way, it was a bad decision or bad taste on your part.

Uh Kenny, Scott wasn't the one who posted it. :no: All he did was hang it at work, where they employ adults.

And Kent has gone back and modified his posting. Personally, I didn't think it that big a deal, but that's my personal opinion. :dunno:

And it's not fair for you to say "it was a bad decision or bad taste." Maybe not the decision you would have made, or to your taste.

His taste is the taste.

Delicious.

I had fogotten who actually made the post but now I do recall it was not Scott. But, my earlier post was directed at Scott in as much as he appeared to be defending the action.

That was primarily "you're" in the generic. It could apply to anyone who would choose to post a graphic with words that would not otherwise pass the test of the board's settings.

No it was not. It was directed straight at me. At least admit you made a mistake and apologize for the improper and undeserved accusation you laid at me.
