+Warwagon MVC Posted January 28, 2004 MVC Share Posted January 28, 2004 Come on, people! It's not like he killed anyone or raped a little girl. It was a very stupid thing to do, but it is his property and he can do what he wants. Ya but still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristotle-dude Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Ok, we may not be able to do anything about it but this was so wasteful. If the guy did not like the mac, he should have sold it and bought some aluminum case and sh*tty PC parts with the money. The guy is a moron. He just threw away thousands of dollars. Anybody who thinks this guy is cool, needs to get their head examined. Now this would apply to "everyone" who cannot see how stupid this guy was. I hope this brat gets the belt for what he did. Sheesh, kids today don't know the value of a dollar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xpablo Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 I feel Ill :x , that's just not right, I'm not really a mac fan but I would never refuse one or rip one apart like especially a dual G5.

nuka_t Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 to people that think he made a good choice. imagine somoene buying a top of the line alienware 64bit aurora and stuffed it with a celeron cause he thought the glowing lights on the case looked cool.

Takaras Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 (edited) Jeez get a grip folks, the computer is HIS, he can do the hell what he wants with it, whats the big deal here? you're trying to force your views and values on him, which never works... and remember: its just a damn COMPUTER for ****'s sake! All these people saying "Oh woe is me, I'm physically ill at the thought..." get something IMPORTANT to complain about... this doesn't affect anyone but him. And it made him happier. So where's the harm in that?The harm is that he posted his stupidity on the net for all the world to see and it's making us all sick. That's the harm in that.It?s a good thing my parents don?t know anything about computers... Looks like it runs in the family! The irony hits me like a ton of bricks. heck, I hope the story's made up....I hope he is going to put it back together. maybe if he visits this forum...

mayamaniac Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 He wasn't all stupid. He knew what he was doing. And obviously money is not the subject matter here. He said it himself, he did it to **** off his friends and at the same time has a G5 case, which he loves, but still be able to run windows.

-=SD=- Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Remember kids everything on the internet is true. Yup, I just took apart my BMW so I can have the seats in my Escort, they were real comfortable but I hated that the BMW wasn't automatic. /edit - Just saying who really cares what anyone does, this is just as bad as the people complaining about Mike Rowe for selling MS papers. Like any of you wouldn't try to do something because it suits you best, or makes you money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takaras Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 (edited) Heh, just had to get over the initial shock of it all... This is just like the story of the father that grounded his son for being a hacker because he used linux and bought an amd processor.... ... NO, don't argue it....I'm about 90 percent sure that the story isn't true. Yeah, no one can be that stupid.....no one. to myie: I have no harsh feelings towards Mike Rowe. That kid had guts, and probably knew he was in the right. It was Microsoft that over reacted. Off subject though. Like any of you wouldn't try to do something because it suits you best, or makes you money. Here's what would have suited him best and made him money. I would have found out where to get a G5 case and bought one. I would sell the G5 and use the money to buy what he thinks is a better computer. He would have a G5 case and a hell of a lot better computer than he does now. ;) I need sleep.... Edited January 28, 2004 by bsarmir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocks1985 Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 This could have been avoided if his parents had bothered to give a gift that he wanted, instead of one they wanted him to have!!!If this kid had asked for a new snow board, and his parents gave him some new skis, would you blame him if he converted them to something closer to what he actually wanted???? Try to remember that it is just a computer (it's not a holy icon, or the secret to world peace), and it was a gift to him... that means it was his property to do with as he pleased. If I found that my son had done this I'd feel horrible, like a real ass, for two reasons: 1) That I'd spent that much money on a gift without finding out in advance if it was what he wanted 2) The fact that he felt like he had to hide it from me... that he didn't feel like he could just say "WTF dad... this isn't what I asked for!" :wacko: I needed a new computer for college. my old one was like 5 years old and it was dying. I wanted a Mac sooooo bad. All I got was this f@ggy Tablet PC. ugh. this is a peice of crap. I see that tablets can be cool but my dad sees it in best buy..its like a first generation tablet with a pentium 3, terrible speakers for a laptop, and a 12 inch screen. Yeah its cool but I want to run OS X!! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the evn show Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 good analogy.evn show: i'd still take the 318 engine... the escort has a 2.0L 4, the bmw has a 2.5L 6... At the risk of being off topic... The Escort topped out at 130 and was discontinued a little while back in favor of the Focus I guess. You're right that car was a POS as far as performance goes. I was thinking Taurus - specifically the SHO model which made 220hp & 200lb-ft. The high end focus from this year is on par with BMW's 320i as far as engine numbers go (170hp & 145lb-ft). I'm not 100% certain - but doesn't the base 318 ship with a ~140hp I-4? I might be getting my models/years mixed up, but I remember the bottom end 3 series being less than desirable. The 320i from this year is an I-6 making about 170hp and 155 lb/ft of torque which is respectable for an entry level vehicle. Either way Taurus/Focus != Escort, My bad. My domestic car knowledge sometimes leaves a bit to be desired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isus Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 gotcha evn show :) i don't know about the 318 though, it's not on bmw's website... discontinued perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebaz Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 they dont offer the 318 in the States anylonger ..the last 318 they offered here was the E36 version. In europe they still offer the 318ti..320ti..323ti..325ti (w/ SMG <- hotness) and with the M package: http://www.bmw.com/generic/com/en/products...pact/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgeburner Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Im not honestly a huge fan of Macs at all....but I mean come on! It was free, it was a present, he had to have already had a computer (obviously) , why not just PLAY with the mac for a bit? He'd know that there's alternatives to pretty much any PC software avail on the mac (and sometimes it's better on the mac too) what a f'in moron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
