Whoa, today's been a weirdly good day so far.
I'm not falling asleep at my desk like I was Tuesday, I didn't waste the day sleeping like yesterday, the work day is half over already, and I've actually gotten some stuff done!
So anyway, Apple released the HCL for Mountain Lion, and as expected, pretty much anything over 4 years old isn't supported. Hurray for planned obsolescence! It's going to blow up in your face one of these days, Apple, just like it did with Detroit. :P
I know at least one customer that's sick of how Apple is treating pro users, and wants to move his systems to Windows Server because Apple has no decent rack-mount systems anymore. That's how bad it's gotten -- they've gone from being Toyota or Mercedes to 1976 General Motors.

I'm not sure I can fault Software companies for planned obsolescence. Though, it pays to be smart and look at the market. Microsoft is only NOW going "Man, FUCK XP, we're going to stop making shit work on that bitch!"
However, a great deal of this might become moot as cloud computing takes over.

IMPROMPTU DOESN'T WORK IN WINDOWS 7 BECAUSE MICROSOFT DOES NOT GIVE A SINGLE FUCK ABOUT YOUR OUTDATED, IBM REPORTING SOFTWARE. THIS IS WHY COMPANIES SHOULD HAVE UPGRADE PATHS, YOU DUMB FUCKS.
Yeah, I realise that new features oftentimes require newer hardware to work optimally, but it seems like Apple has valued form over function recently to the point where they can't be arsed to figure out how to make it work on older systems—even if the older systems are perfectly capable of doing something with a bit less flash. It used to be that OS X could run on crappy old 604 PowerPCs with gusto; now, if you're not running something made in the past year, it'll bitch at you for not giving Apple more money.
I don't like that, especially because Apple machines command such a high premium over regular models, and because normal PCs haven't really changed much topologically since, oh, 1997. With enough memory, you can run Windows 7 or Linux or whatever with no problem on a 10-year-old machine, and the experience won't be that much different from a new machine unless you play a lot of games. That and I'm a tinkerer and enjoy keeping old machines running.

The entire pasta there is a satire on the typical entries to shit_that_never_happened.txt that are posted daily to reddit's atheist subforum; the stories told for kudos and upvotes how they went up to some Christian and totally blew their mind with logic (with some lame attempt at a bon mot for the cherry on top.) This includes folks such as this chap or this smug fellow. This attitude of inherent intellectual superiority isn't limited to just atheists, but in their case it's even funnier (or sadder depending on your perspective) because it's no different than what the likes of Rosicrucians and Golden Dawn convinced themselves of over a century ago.
Also Anonus you should draw erry day. I keep a sketchbook on hand which even years down the road is a vital accessory for any illustrator, even if it's simple little doodles.

Fear of being associated with these smug assholes is a big part of the reason I don't talk about my atheism often. :\
I believe that there could certainly be a god, especially when you consider we're getting pretty damn close to creating artificial intelligence ourselves. God could be a group of computer programmers who created the advanced life simulation known as Earth! /cs nerd
But I seriously doubt that any current religions actually have the truth about god correct, so I follow none of them.

"Conan Properties International" doesn't even sound like a real thing.
“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."

"Wait time to speak to a VA representative is .... forty-two minutes. Instead of waiting on the line in the queue for that amount of time, press one for a callback whenever your turn comes up."
Only took them until 2012 to do this. And it was the Dept of Veteran's Affairs to implement it first. We are through the looking glass here, people
