Wow, that is soooo clever. You really zinged him because, you know, he's, like, black, and stuff.

AlecDalek, that is an astounding level of cluelessness, even by Internet standards. Maybe you should apply at Microsoft, I think they're looking for some stellar brains for their new "iPhone Killer" project.

eric, if you get into heavy JavaScript and AJAX, you will really need to test it on a Mac and Linux box, as there are some quirks depending on the platform. If you're just doing HTML/CSS/PHP type stuff, it should be fine on those platforms in Safari/Camino/Firefox.

eric, there are several native browsers. The browser made by Apple and included with Mac OS X is Safari, and is one of the few browsers on the market than can pass the Acid2 browser test (IE doesn't come close to passing. Firefox v3 passes, but it's still in alpha). I mostly use Camino, which is a freeware native Mac implementation of the Mozilla engine, which is what Firefox uses. There's also a semi-native, ported version of Firefox, which is okay, but has a few problems. Other good native browsers include OmniView, Opera, and others, but those cost money. Pretty much every one I've tried sucks a lot less than IE. I do web development, and IE is always the one that I have to do a lot of extra stuff for to make it work. Mostly I target things for Firefox, and it'll work on most browsers, and then I fuck up my code until it works on IE.

Pretty sure Hodgman is wearing frilly lace panties under the cheap suit.

Yes, a gun is always a good way to win an argument, when you cannot win it on merit.

Apple computers, quite simply, are not more expensive than other brands. Similarly configured, they are, in fact, less expensive. The people that say otherwise are ill-informed and simply repeat what they've been told. In any case, even if they were more expensive, they are superior products, so why would they not cost more? Most people that deride Apple computers and the Mac OS have not actually used either, so they can simply be dismissed as ignorant. I see no actual informed points being made here against Macs. Perhaps some of the posters could bother educating themselves, or perhaps they could just shut the fuck up.

I find it highly amusing that the Jeros entity believes he/she/it has refuted decades of peer-reviewed climatological science with a glass of water and some ice cubes. Maybe she/he/it will use a dinner plate and some bacon to show us how pigs are actually the most intelligent species living on our flat earth. Just think of the damage to mainstream science sheheit could do with a salt shaker!

Judging by her expression, she must be listening to Michele Bachmann talk about creationism.

"Insulin binding parameters have been measured in testicular membranes of streptozotocin diabetic male rats. Insulin binding decrease was ascribed to the well-known depressing effect of diabetes mellitus on circulating luteinizing hormone (LH). Because both LH and insulin receptors are modulated by pituitary LH and because of their reduction in testes of diabetic rats, we conclude that Leydig cell dysfunction is a secondary disorder associated with this complex metabolic condition.
