To carbiduis- You are an idiot. There really isn’t much more I can describe you with. Sure I bet you are a clever engineer and all that jazz. I am as well, and if all you have done through senior year is improve surgical equipment, then I have actually done more industry work than you, and I’m a sophomore (GE sensor design and data collection, Bell Helicopters blade shape analysis and optimization, SCIPlay project designer and engineer). This is not really relevant to this topic, but I just wanted to knock you off of your high horse a bit. I see your type all the time, engineers who think they are on top of the world because they take hard classes, and that liberal arts students are all peasants who will serve you a latte. That’s just not the case though. It takes a truly different kind of fortitude to handle the kind of work DBC describes, a fortitude that I do not have. What I do have, however, is immeasurable respect for the people who work tirelessly doing this kind of stuff. So fuck you and grow up.

You think you can knock me off my high horse?
You don’t have the fortitude cause you are one-dimensional.
You are a sophmore studying engineering…but you have already worked AS AN ENGINEER?..go on, explain this bullshit[/quote]
It’s not that he lacks the fortitude and ability to knock you off your high horse. It’s just that you’re too stupid to know when you’ve been knocked on your ass, or notice that the horse is actually a jackass.
Chalk it up to denial or complete lack of realistic view of yourself.

You have quite the imagination my friend
I must also add that there’s a guy at my work that’s a big Apple fan and he gets excited about every new thing and then harumphs when he buys a new Apple product and then they bring out a new one…as though the thing he has stops doing its job once the new one comes out. Here’s a new flash…there will be another iPhone in about 18 months and it’ll be smarter and faster than ones around now.
I swear I don’t know why a person like him needs to have same computing power that a multi-national corporation had circa 1994.

Hey MR. How you going to just abandon the Clip 11 thread like that. You had that fazer set to kill and you jumped ship…wuzz up.
That was the only good magic trick I had. Well, the only one that would work online like that.
My friend said he’d heard stories of people leaving flowers outside Apple stores.
That’s just fucking stupid. Outside Steve Jobs’ house or even Apple Head Office OK, maybe, but what inanity to leave flowers outside a store in Buttfuck Nowhere.
I swear some of the middle/upper class white people that love Apple products so much must have forgotten that they’re supposed to hate corporations, aren’t they?
Would they leave flowers outside the store of some other major company’s store if its incredibly wealthy CEO died?
Jobs would regularly park his Mercedes in a handicap spot on Apple’s campus
Why Steve Jobs’ Mercedes Never Had a License Plate
Besides his signature black turtleneck, New Balance sneakers, and blue jeans, Steve Jobs was known for his silver Mercedes SL55 AMG. What was perhaps most interesting about Jobs’ ride was the fact that it never had a license plate.
Jobs’Mercedes was photographed many times over the last several years, but the car was always plate-free. How did he do it? Did he pay the fine every time he was confronted by the police? Did he obtain a special permit? Did he just get lucky?
The answer is actually very simple.
ITWire explains (via The Loop):
Steve (or someone close to him) spotted a loophole in the California vehicle laws. Anyone with a brand new car had a maximum of six months to affix the issued number plate to the vehicle.
So Jobs made an arrangement with the leasing company; he would always change cars during the sixth month of the lease, exchanging one silver Mercedes SL55 AMG for another identical one. At no time would he ever be in a car as old as six months; and thus there was no legal requirement to have the number plates fitted.
One might also assume that the leasing company was happy - they had an endless supply of luxury cars to on-sell with the previous driver being none-other that Steve Jobs.
That would be a win-win-win situation for Steve, the leasing company and for the subsequent buyer.
Genius.
^ Indeed, very sneaky of him.
I thought he’d come back to life with this recently dead thread being dug up.
^ Haha.
Sooo, iPad 3 next week, huh?
We’ll see what’s better with the Win 8 consumer preview coming out tomorrow.

I’ll just quote myself the last time this thread came back from the dead.
Bill really dropped the ball there, what with all those apple puns ripe for the picking.
