My grandpa removed Java and Adobe from his Mac, saying they were 'incompatible' and 'designed for Windows'. He claimed it was the sole reason a dozen of his workplace macs went wrong, because Macs can't get viruses.

*sighs*
People should educate themselves more...or on being openminded :/

There are viruses--PC viruses, which we've associated with any darn virus (yet the source being attached to the OS, as proven--there are Windows viruses...and then there are Mac viruses.)

The attitude hasn't caught up yet though.

Convince your grandpa otherwise Cmega D:

Print this for him. Yes, a Mac can get a virus, even though Linux/Unix/OSX (which is just another variant of Unix, mostly,) are built to not install anything without specifically being installed by the user. Some malware does subvert that process.

It mildly infuriates me how often Linux gets left out of lists of OS's and ruled out as a serious-for-usage operating system.

It's the penguin Tawa, it's hard to take a penguin seriously unless it is a wizard, has killed somebody, has some sort of weapon, is cool, or has done something awesome.

((No offense to our resident penguins of course, you all have done something sufficiently awesome from what I have seen I think.))

But Prinnies explode and have knives and nobody takes them seriously.

I thought it was a kernel.

Whatever that is.

Penguins are horribly annoying in not one but two videogames that I play occasionally.
Forgive me if I have some lingering dislike of them...

* Yoink goes to re-watch that one documentary about the penguins and the tiger seals.

Lauri Torni was a Finnish man who hated communists.
So much so that he fought them all his life. First he fought for the Finns; when the Finns were forced to make peace with the Soviets he fought for the Nazis. When the Nazis surrendered he made his way to the Western front to surrender before escaping from a British prison to flee back to Finland. He failed to make it back to his family though because he was arrested by the police and put on trial for fighting under the Germans. From there he eventually received a pardon and swam his way to America, whereupon he joined the US army and continued fighting communists until the day he died fighting communists in vietnam, after a helicopter crash.

Huh, one of my own posts were listed when I checked the 'new posts' section just now >.>
