pretty much we gave our production guys a choice and half of them are transitioning to our windows workstations instead of loving around with the 'literally a macbook air' imacs or mac pros

i can't even imagine working at a place that doesn't provide me with a Mac. like how would that even work? you'd show up on the first day and they take you to your office and you'd say "looks like the previous tenant forgot to take his piece of poo poo dell with him" and your new boss would smile nervously and say "we asked our computer janitors for the Mac we promised you and they said no". so now what? do you stick around for lunch or just quit right there?

it's not about affording, it's about being told by CJs that you can only use what makes their job the easiest instead of what makes your job the easiest. first sign of a broken company.

i'm surprised there isn't a gpo or whatever to require every exe or dll on a windows install to have a valid code signature in order to load or the fact that ms doesn't even sign their own binaries (maybe they do in windows 8? lol windows 8 though like i'd actually use that shitpile) sure that wouldn't help you with buffer overflows or vbscript poo poo but jfc it'd be a start

i dont know poo poo about gpo anymore so i guess i can ask here my dad called and asked if theres a way for him to increase the res on his remote desktop connection. his work issued him some lenovo posbook with a 13" 1920x1080 screen, so i had him increase the dpi settings on windows 8. problem is that he has to rdp into a server (running server 2008) to do some work poo poo, but he cant see anything because it wont let him increase the dpi/decrease the resolution full screen over rdp or something. halp

I just watched this documentary about the Large Hadron Collider and the discovery of the Higgs boson amongst the many revelations in that film is that virtually every one of those folks uses a Mac from the most pie-in-the-sky theorists to the magnet janitors to the administrators and everything in between, and plenty of iPads and iPhones besides in other words, people with advanced degrees in hard sciences from the best schools at the top of their respective fields, whose careers depend on computation and can choose any platform they want to, overwhelmingly choose Macs to work on but can we hear more from some more bottom rung computer janitors about how Macs just can't be used for real work

if you install windows on a mac its almost usable. but academics are all about wasting grant money and macs are the best way to do that.

all the academics are using linpack based software that hasn't changed significantly since the mid 80s so a unix system is perfect
