In the Army...!

by Clay Mitchell, Sep 10, 1999 11:56am PDT

Ok, this isn't games related, but pretty freaking funny nonetheless... the Army has dumped NT as it's webserver and chosen.... the Mac OS! ok. This is pretty funny. Macs are great for like artists and "thinking different" and nifty colors, but not for dishing up web pages. Will our national defenders choosing such a.... pansy? web server send a message to all our enemies saying "come take us over, we're weak!" ? I can just see it... Canada and its hordes of eskimos marching over the border... :) Thanks Hyper. Flame away here.

  • ahhh macintosh, the computer for people who hate computers. i dont really care about mac vs peecee, its kinda tired, but what up with macintosh? for a company whos whole slogan is \'think different\', as if they were some kind of revolutionaries...

    ...they certainly are shallow consumerists. vanity pc\'s? ugghhhh... people need to pick out a \'blueberry\' pc like they need a hole in their head. same for the ibook, its not just a laptop, its some kind of extension of your own unique personality as a forward thinking art-terrorist.... computer as feel-good-appliance for the masses. go capitalism!

    btw, they do suck, lock up, and a bunch of up tight quark-headz arent going to convince me otherwize...... (smiles!)

  • #42. I\'d like to clear up this rather common misconception.
    Five, ten years ago, Macs were definitely better (I was stuck with DPaint 2 on a 486) for some graphics work, if not most. Now, however, there is no question that -- for someone familiar with the platform -- PCs are the better choice.
    They\'re faster (even at graphic apps), a properly set up one doesn\'t crash any more than a Mac (plus you don\'t have to wonder \"what the hell is Memory Error #128???), and there are very few titles either not ported to the PC, or that don\'t have PC versions developed at the same time (But when will you see 3DS for the Mac???).
    For someone that has used a Mac for years for graphics work, but isn\'t really a computer person, I\'d reccommend that they stick with the Mac, but for a new user or a professional with PC experience, PC\'s are the better choice.















  • Oh I forgot, I\'m the slave
    linux is free, just D/L and install
    I must be cheap too!
    P.S. I have and run every major OS, everyone has a place
    WINDOWS=GAMES
    APPLE=DESIGN/CONTENT
    UNIX/LINUX=WEB SERVER,CORP SERVER,FATE OF THE FREE WORLD
    BeOS=MULTIMEDIA
    at this point BeOS holds the most promise for the masses.
    Windows is dead, the body just hasn\'t quit twitching
    ;-P Computers are not a religion. Just once I wish the best tech would place first, not the \"easiest,mosthyped,userfriendy,bloatware\" that the pea brains of the world can manage to load and run without screwing things up. But thats just me wishing again. ;-P
    OH FUCK IT, you can lead a horse to water, but you can\'t make him drink.






  • What is wrong with you people, do you really believe NT4 server or (Windows 2000 server) is the best server software. OSX server is as good as NT4 server ( better in alot of ways ). As far as the army\'s web site who gives a shit what box thats on. Do you believe the DoD is switching from Cray\'s running unix to some baby OS like Win/tel or Mac OSX, WAKE THE FUCK UP,PEA BRAINS.
    If everyone of you WINDOWS SLAVES would take the time to learn UNIX, the world would be a better off.
    Your mission is to go buy a book on linux(cause thats all your pea brains can hack)and start reading, in a year or two install it and see what a CLONE of a real OS can do.
    P.S. Pray for apple and BeOS, cause thats all thats stopping microshaft from tattooing SLAVE on your fore head.
