Hera Fyrestus Men of the Knights Watch The 99 Percent 0	Posted - 2012.04.18 22:01:00 - [1] - Quote Been trying all day to get Singularity on my mac, seems pretty much impossible. Every time to launch it, it either loads up Crucible and tranquility, or it loads up Inferno and tranquility, but the server is an incompatible version, or it says that the singularity server is down and when it launches the login screen it just says checking status on server and version, or it simply fails to launch all together. I have been trying since 9am to get this to work, it is now 5pm and i am about ready to throw my mac out a window. i have posted for help in the Macintosh forum, and the test server forum, but no one either knows how to help or they just dont want to. So someone please help me out here. thanks for any ideas.

Fredfredbug4 wrote: Saving this page to use against future MAC fanboys who claim MACs never have problems. Don't forget the girls. But seriously, if someone buys a Mac, they buy it because they want something that is different. Some advice here that you might not want to hear, or perhaps won't even believe/understand: THERE IS NOTHING A MAC CAN DO, THAT A PC CAN'T ( besides be more expensive ) and THERE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN LOT'S OF THINGS PC's CAN DO, THAT MAC's CAN'T. Now sure, the next poster might think he or she knows better, but no, it's the truth, so deal with it. On another note, i quit my last job, because they decided to switch to mac. If you can't comprehend why, try looking at this for example: 200 new pc's cost 200 x 600 euro's ( average price ) = 120.000 euro's. 200 new mac's cost 200 x 1300 euro's ( which was the exact price of the mac's in question ) = 260.000 euro's So boss, you couldn't just raise my salary?? Yes i am dutch, no i don't do drugs.

I build my own pc, so should any decent company, involved in computer applications. Yeah, most companies disagree since it's not worth the hassle compared to buy them ready-made in bulk with a juicy service contract attached. And, as mentioned, the obscenity is industry-wide (which probably has a lot to do with the target audience for the machines in question).

True, but why buy a mac, if you're gonna install Windows or Linux on it? Also, the other way around is illegal, according to the Apple EULA ( installing OSx on a PC ). However, my main argument against Apple, is the fact that, if they were to be the biggest computer company in the world ( bigger then Microsoft based PC's ), everything would be sealed in and ready to use the way they want you to, not the other way around. Steve Jobs said so himself ( although i can't remember which interview it was ), since when do people know what they want... While that might be true for most, it's certainly not true for me, i want a damn Amiga. Yes i am dutch, no i don't do drugs.

Psichotic Blue Republic RvB - BLUE Republic 11	Posted - 2012.04.24 09:59:00 - [29] - Quote Macs cost more than PCs because they are, generally speaking, better machines. That is not an opinion, it's a fact that I know not from articles or people telling me, but from my own experience. I have done computer support since 1993. That is almost 20 years of seeing what works and what does not. You get what you pay for. That is just as true for cars, homes, education and medical care as it is for computing. While there is currently one widespread virus for the Mac, there isn't enough space in this forum to list all the viruses for Windows. More to the point, you can secure a Mac against said exploit whereas there is no way you can secure a Windows installation against the massive number of viruses that have been and are being written for it on a daily basis. Even using Windows update and updating your virus defs everyday will not truly protect you. Again, I know this because I have cleaned many hundreds of OS installations. I would say at least 95% of Windows installations used on a daily basis to access the Internet are infected with malware. Thus, if you are reading this on a PC, someone other than you most likely has backdoor access to your machine right now. Personally, I would not, and in fact do not, expose myself to that kind of risk. PC hardware is also much more prone to failure because Apple uses better quality components than most PC manufacturers. It also produces the OS specifically to run on the hardware it sells, so in effect produces an entire system as opposed to a component of a system designed to be compatible with the other components of the entire system, thus guaranteeing hardware/software compatibility. More importantly for the average consumer is the fact that you can walk into an Apple store and have your computer fixed properly. That is well worth the extra cost in the long run. I have 3 PCs and 3 Macs. I use the Macs for my daily work not because I have some weird affection for Apple (Apple is actually a terrible company to work for and there are more reasons to dislike them than most companies), but because I have been working with computers since 1993 and they are unquestionably better tools for the tasks I need to accomplish. There is no video game worth compromising my critical data or the ability for me to do my job. If Eve didn't run on a Mac I simply wouldn't play it.
