Corsair 850w PSU Razer Lycosa Keyboard...much win Logitech MX1000 I think. It's old. Asus 10" EeePC for the tuning MSI WindPad 110w currently missing via RMA for exchange. Kind of toying with creating a mount for this in the car. Touchscreen? Big display gauges? Because I can? Yes. So with all these badass rigs...why is the MT BF3 platoon so small? |

17" Macbook Pro ... 2008 I think
Runs better and cooler than the part-for-part identical PC that I built before switching to a laptop. PC...HA! |

Damn! you got me!
Same spec parts, different platforms. |

An actually useful command line. ---- GUIs. ---- Windows and their GUI-ruled paradigm. I've never had an issue with the software on either platform. I think each is capable of doing whatever the user may need today, although Windows has historically been the better gaming platform by a wide margin. I don't like closed hardware and paying a premium for style. As a general rule however, I've usually said that if you want to be productive (business) stick with a Windows platform. Also the Apple commercials. Dirty hipsters get off mah lawn! |
If the development tools I need for my profession existed for the Mac, I'd switch over in a heartbeat (Software engineer by trade). A command line is well worth the premium for me.

Plz don't turn this into a OS debate.

An actually useful command line. ---- GUIs. ---- Windows and their GUI-ruled paradigm. Anyway, I guess I should post some specs... My main desktop PC has a Core i5-750 sitting on an Intel DP55WP motherboard, running at the rated clock speed. 8 GB of RAM, a cheap-arse video card, a 40 GB Intel SSD as the boot volume, a 500 GB Hitachi as the data drive, and a 1 TB Seagate as a backup drive. Nothing super-fancy. The media machine has some random CPU which I had lying around (I think it's a P4) mounted on a cheap motherboard I bought at Frys, with 2GB RAM, a 300 GB hard drive as the boot volume (I had it lying around), and a 2 TB drive for the video. The only thing fancy about the aforementioned is that they are extremely quiet. Nothing but low RPM, sleeve-bearing 120mm fans everywhere, including the CPU and power supply. Le laptop is a Dell E4200. Core2Duo (SU9600) CPU, 5GB RAM, 128GB SSD. |

New as of today laptop,
Intel i3-2350M 4gb ddr3 ram -might jam another 4 in it later 320gb hard drive 15.6in screen and a wopping 2 usb ports woooo My 5yr old one just fried and school hit this week. Couldn't find a better one for less within reason. Don't PC game anymore, thats the 360's job. Just need something that works and doesn't suck for a couple years until school gets crazy. |

It's shitty. In previous job, I was the sys admin and generic IT guy. Anything from networks to new software development (C++ and SQL). I went from Linux (from '94) to Mac OS in 2003, switched back to Linux in 2004. I couldn't stand it.

It's actually physically painful for me to develop in an entirely GUI-based (i.e. Windows) environment compared to *nix/BSD-based. |

<3 Joe for that comparison, it made me lol IRL. For me, development is optimal if I never have to take my hands off the keyboard. Ever. If I get into a Windows environment, I have to constantly move my right hand back and forth between mouse and keyboard. Given enough time and enough movement, this can actually cause my wrist to start hurting. (Not-so-ninja edit: I.e., (nano/emacs/vi/whatever your poison is) +foo bar.cpp, make, gdb compared to having to move my hand to click on all sorts of ----.)

What I meant was that I was surprised to hear someone with your background praising MacOS on the grounds of having a powerful CLI. Admittedly, the last time I was heavily involved in Mac-usage was on the Centris / Quadra machines (running OS 7, if I recall correctly), and my experience with those machines was not a kind one. I have used the newer machines, but only in an incidental capacity, so I don't have any experience with their CLI. I can't recally having ever seen anyone use it, in fact. Is it really that much better than the DOS implementation in the current Windows builds? |

I understand completely. As someone who grew up in a text-based world, I still spend a lot of time in DOS-boxes, which for some reason seems to astound and confuse my co-workers.

ANYTHING is better than the DOS implementation in current Windows builds. Windows has a giant hardon for the hatred of CLI for some reason. I'll be lucky if I can launch a (GUI-based) IDE from DOS. |
OSX does have a fantastic CLI, the only problems with it is that Apple took /etc and fucked it by replacing text files with goofball managers. For some things anyway, fstab being one of them. Being able to 'ssh kevin@your.mom' was one of the reasons my Windows XP laptop got replaced with a MacBook few years ago. ps, awk, grep, kill, and rest the good stuff is still there. If there's anything not included by default it's easy enough to install (
