Have you ever been to luton? It's shit I'm suprised it wasn't the target.

I was in a coffee shop yesterday and there was a guy with an iphone, an ipod and his mac on the table
I wanted to go and punch him.

We are trying to cure LittleSisterCrow of this affliction
She already has an ipod and iphone. When looking to replace her laptop, we asked her what sort of thing she might want in a computer:
"Ooh, I want a Macbook."
Why?
"They look cool."
You do realise that you'll pay about twice as much as you would for a PC of similar spec just because it's got a fucking apple stamped on the front of it?
"Oh."
We're getting there. One electronics purchase at a time.

I want a Mac just so I can have that Iron Man sticker to go on the front.

yes. but in 3 years time it will still perform exactly the same as the day you bought it.
Whereas your PC will have given up the ghost entirely, or at least will have the speed of the peruvian quadraplegic swimming team. So you'll have to replace your PC twice as often. Horses for courses.

Apple vs PC slanging aside...
Why do they do this? Is it just the famous degeneracy of Windows as an OS, or is it something about the hardware?
(LongJohnBaldry, Mon 13 Dec 2010, 12:25, Reply)

There are some hardware reasons, but mostly as far as I know it's because apple are software Fascists.
so, unless apple give you the go-ahead, your software won't work on their OS. This means they can tightly control compatibility and hence software clashes and also prevents random downloads etc from the web fucking things.

A decent techie can keep a PC running optimally by cleansing it properly and not installing certain thing, but most people can't be arsed so eventually your PC just keels over because of all the shit on it.

I dunno. I use both. Apple also completely pisses on anything else as a user interface too, and that's enough for me for certain things.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Mon 13 Dec 2010, 12:30, Reply)

It's because people can and will install lots of crap on their PCs

But you have no right button
which is the biggest drawback with useability I've ever come across.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 13 Dec 2010, 12:42, Reply)

they've had right buttons for years, Al.
trackpad works with one finger for left click and two for right. Magic mouse just knows left from right by where you touch it.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Mon 13 Dec 2010, 12:43, Reply)

That is still unbelievably retarded, they should just add a second button underneath like on good computers.

(Bazongaloid, Mon 13 Dec 2010, 12:47, Reply)

lolwut
If I click towards the right hand side of the trackpad, it brings up the right-click menu.

Add to that
- Pinch to zoom
- Stretch to zoom out
- Two fingers to scroll left/right/up/down
- Four fingers left/right to Alt+Tab
- Four fingers up/down to jump to a desktop
- Two fingers spinning to reorientate

I'd say the mac's mouse or trackpad has _far_ more features, and does it all with one phsyical button.

I'm sorry, I presumed when you said "But you have no right button", I thought you were implying that the mouse on a mac has less functionalty, and that was your complaint against them.

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 13 Dec 2010, 13:11, Reply)

The tracking pad on my friends mac had a single button below it,
and I needed to access the kind of menu which is normally called up using the right click, but I was unable to work out how to do it. Sadly, despite it being her computer, my friend was unable to help either so we had to find someone else who knew how to use a Mac.

I think it's because with Apple, only apple decide what hardware goes into their machines.
And therefore everything is optimised to work in congunction with all the other components and there are very little unexpected combinations of equipment.

Where as with Microsoft, there are so many combinations of hardware, that it's impossible to get every combination working correctly.

(PsychoChomp, Mon 13 Dec 2010, 11:46, Reply)

one of those topics is luton.
and one of them is lasagne. i don't need to oppress you, you are doing so very well all by yourself.

but i will throw you a sympathy bone. so. which do you people prefer, veggie or meat lasagne? personally, i always preferred veggie as you get more interesting fillings, but meat lasagne is the only thing i miss about being vegetarian. i had lasagne on friday and it was made with courgettes and peppers and mascarpone, it was really quite good. and my mum used to make one with haddock and prawns and wholemeal lasagne sheets, that was divine. i do like lasagne, although you have to be really hungry and have no plans for the rest of the day, as you will just fall asleep after eating it. it also goes really well with garlic bread, provided you aren't a dirty monkey who dips the bread in the cheese sauce, and caesar salad.

Lasagne and chips is magnificent
And while I know that veggie lasagne could be damn good, you'll never get me away from my one made with meat.

chips are too much
with lasagne, it's a heart attack on a plate!

went to the plough and flail in mobberley on sat, although i just had a starter because i was out on sat night, i was reeeeeeally tempted to cheese and onion pie made with extra tangy crumbly lancashire instead of cheddar. this might have to be mine next time i go home.

As a continuing gobbler of meat
I just can't quite come to terms with the idea of vegetarian lasagne. It has to be ground beef as a filling.

Having said that, your mother's fish lasagne sounds quite tasty. (And yes, I realise how dirty that sounds.)
(LongJohnBaldry, Mon 13 Dec 2010, 11:54, Reply)

Why would you put Haddock in a lasagne?
No offence to your dearly departed mother, but she was dead wrong on that one. In fact she probably suffers a small amount because of that, like, she'll be all angelic and stuff and floating on clouds, but when she gets up in the morning her socks are always inside out so she has to turn them the right way round before she can get on with the days harp playing and watching over of her daughter.

( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 13 Dec 2010, 12:08, Reply)

I'll go with you on the fish one.
But vegetarian lasagne is not lasagne. It's an affront to the Gods of food and frankly, you should be fucking ashamed.

Deffo veggy, but only if it's made properly.
I've had some real half-arsed effort of veggy lasagnia where they just do a layer of oboejeans, a layer of white sauce, a pasta, copy'n'paste.... and that's it.

Do you have a problem handling meat
(Oh fuck. I forgot to deactivate the euphemismometer and it has asploded)

as that really dictates what you can work with?

nope
no problem with handling it or chopping it or whatever. i just don't want to put it in my mouth.

that's not what we've heard, etc, etc, two elephants and a cymbal fall off a cliff.
What sort of thing do you want to cook? showy or just tasty? do you want to have a similar dish for the veggie contingent or something completely different?

i do not know what you are implying
just something that doesn't kill them all off.

i am thinking maybe lots of booze and a thai takeaway menu might do the trick.

Veggie food.
It's your fucking house, eh? Do something with those large field mushrooms, they're quite meaty...
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 13 Dec 2010, 12:38, Reply)

true
but i always feel it's rude to force vegetarianism on other people. it's not like i have principles, i'm just fussy!

s p +after all

Also, while I'm not a fan, I've heard you can do magical food by grilling those large flat mushrooms, and adding whatever (I think Monty would be more helpful here)

goats cheese or feta cheese
drizzle of pesto and some pine nuts

You can't force vegetarianism on someone
by cooking them a veggie dish, it would different if you were out and you refused to let anyone else order meat dishes while you were at the table.

if anyone did this in my earshot
it would be the one thing that would annoy me enough to make me actually eat some meat in protest.

i would prob be sick straight afterwards though, it's been about 18 years since i ate meat!

It's been about 18 minutes since I last consumed a dead animal.

It used to be a cow
but by the time it got to me it had been cooked, ground up and cured with large "corns" of salt, and put in a strange trapezoidal shaped can.

I do love corned beef.

Some cows are cute.
Limousin females are, I think.

With the big eyes and the lovely colouring, yes :D
According to Wiki they make good beef. I like them even more.

CORNED BEEF?
oh god you are bringing back horrific memories of sandwiches at school. that stuff was feckin rank. it's like dog food, you don't need to put it anywhere near your mouth to know exactly what it would taste like if you did.

i bet you like spam as well.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 13 Dec 2010, 13:02, Reply)

I haven't had spam for over 10 years
But I liked it back then.

I would argue that if you're prepared to eat a Macdonalds Burger or any sort of supermarket sausage, or a doner kebab, then you can't complain about the content of spam.

Corned Beef on the other hand, is wonderful, you can make carned beef hash, or put it in spaghetti bolognese, or have it in sarnies with ketchup. Mmmmmmm, yummmy.

As an argument
that only really holds water if you are happy to eat meat when invited round to theirs, though.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Mon 13 Dec 2010, 12:47, Reply)

No it doesn't
They have no objections to eating vegetables at all, so they aren't compromising anything by consuming a vegetarian meal.
