More Mac wank!
Never thought I'd find more . . . anyway. I followed the not_kosher thread to
macintosh, and from there I went to
macosx, not expecting to find wank, but it usually shows up when you're not looking for it.
First off, we have coolstring, who posts to the community warning people about the newest Windows worm. "I know this is a mac community, however, I also know you all must have at least one friend you can tell about this"
"I know this is a mac community"—Big mistake. First comment? "It doesn't affect Mac users. Maybe if we let people suffer, they eventually will realize Microsoft Windows is a bad idea.
However, if we help them protect their systems, they'll go on feeling safe.
They made their choice to run windows. Let them suffer.
Oh, and your post is way off topic for this community."
Folks, it just gets better after that.
Exhibit number two:
onieromancy asks: For my film class I need to make a music video featuring Kill Bill Volume 1. Which means I need to find a way to get the DVD (probably encrypted) onto my computer and into either Final Cut or iMovie, though probably both. I'm having a hard time finding software to do this. Any help, please?
Cue the wank, which takes on so many delicious varities: The "you DO know this is illegal and you're going to get flamed, right?" to the "all the elitists just talk shit and whine and complain instead of helping the person out" to the pouting "Gee whiz, 'I thought maybe I might get some help here. Thanks guys'" to the people who actually tell the OP how to rip DVDs. *thumbs up*
Great fun to be had by all.
