I am not sure that I have ever used Winamp, but VLC strikes me as far more suited to video than music. It is extremely spartan, and so far as I can tell lacks the sorting and listing features that I like in iTunes.
What I'm getting at here is really just that it would be possible for iTunes to be a media player which has many of the useful features for music (such as the sorting and listing features, playlists, and all that jazz) without being so goddamn slow.
Despite whether this is true or not I can't help but find it enormously funny that apparently Mac users eat more hummus and PC users prefer Harleys over Vespas
"In April 2011, the Internet was abuzz with the results of a survey on this very topic, conducted by Hunch, a Web site that makes recommendations based on user preferences. It asked users to identify themselves as a Mac or PC person, and then questioned them about a number of self-identifying factors. The results were comically stereotypical. Among the findings were that Mac users were more likely to be liberal, eat hummus and read The New York Times. PC users, on the other hand, were more conservative, had a better grasp on mathematical concepts, and, unlike their Mac counterparts, would rather ride a Harley than a Vespa [source: [source: Hunch]. While these results are certainly interesting, they can't be taken too seriously -- Hunch made these conclusions based on an admittedly unscientific survey."
I have annexed a third of Brabant, had them revoke their Hungarian vassal, and made them annul their alliance with Denmark, leaving them without a bulldog.
Now I am attempting to woo Denmark, so that I may one day turn their former ally against them.
these are the Holy Roman Emperors to present in the current game, since its conversion from CK2, and starting with Empress Agnes (which marked the Emperorship's end as a hereditary office).
I'll be honest, I don't understand why anyone would want a Mac.
Everything is made for Windows and a lot of Mac stuff is just contrary to how I'm used to operating a computer.
That is a very narrow-minded way of looking at it. I mean, just because you don't think that way doesn't mean that your way is the only or best way of doing things.
After that long talk about iTunes I did some research on the whole Mac vs. PC thing and I'd like to think I'm more well informed on the subject

There's a number of reasons
The less viruses thing is definitely true, that's for sure. Macs being contrary to how you operate a computer is basically a personal thing, as both Windows and Macs are fairly intuitive, but going from one to the other is a big jump.
There's also the fact that Apple is much more streamlined in it's distribution, so you generally know more about what you're getting in your Mac with less research, and you get access to Apple customer support, which is apparently quite excellent.
You are totally right on how lots of things are made for Windows, but to be honest that's only really a huge problem if you're a gamer.

This.
Also, FL Studio's swagness aside, most decent user-friendly DAWs (and, in Logic's case, a fantastic but difficult one) seem to be Mac-based, so that's a thing.

I admittedly devote very little thought to this particular subject.
Just that as far as I am aware, everything I use my computer for except word processing is significantly harder on a Mac.
idk it's 3am. I'm not prepared to talk about this right now.

What have you learned?
Well I re-examined most of the "commonly known facts" about the two and they pretty much continue to be true (Macs have less viruses, Windows has more programs and is more customizable, etc). Macs most definitely have more expensive parts, though not necessarily higher quality parts. If you bought very similar PC parts and built your own computer you can get it for cheaper (though mainly around higher price ranges; in lower price ranges they don't vary so much, in the high end range it can be a difference of a thousand dollars or so). At any rate, the main thing you pay for with Apple is customer service, because apparently it's good.
As far as the OSes themselves go...it really doesn't matter. When comparing OSX 10.9 with Windows 7, both are very solid. OSX is more resource intensive, and it seems like Windows 7 is slightly more prone to crashing, if only by a little bit. As far as intuitiveness goes, both of them are still good. Ultimately, the more intuitive one is going to be the one you pick up first.
In the end, it really just comes down to personal preference. Windows is slightly better for people who like fiddling with the interior of their machine, cheapskates, and gamers, while Macs are better if you want less viruses or want a solid machine with good support.
...So I guess I didn't really learn all that much as opposed to reinforcing what I already knew. Ah well.
An IDE stands for an integrated development environment. It basically combines a source code editor, a compiler, a debugger and various other build tools. Basically you can write a program, compile it and test it for errors, all in one program instead of using several different programs and the command line to run and test programs.

her stats are 1/0/1, these are awful stats.
I like games where you can throw fireballs at evil goombas
good for him I suppose. As long as the empire doesn't get to the point where unification is possible, I am fine with it.
Typical.

what are y'all up to this fine evening.

the local rednecks would be impressed

What the fuck is Delphi?
I read xkcd, it is rare for me to come across a programming language I don't recognize by name. Randall's made jokes about like, all of them.
Fuck that guy.
