I have invented a video game, drinks machine and reinvented a electronic module for a central heating boiler. I am not on any rich list but and what little money I have is going towards patents for my inventions to protect them. It's a costly experience to say the least. Say what you will and mock all you want.
It's not easy building a company or products from scratch or improving on items already on the market. I have first hand experience at this. If you don't like his products or company, leave it be. The comment written by Notcow was very spiteful and it's usually jealous or broke people who know little about business who make such remarks

Tragic for anyone to get any kind of disease but why let a troll hijack the whole thread? On the other side though this guy isn't Jesus or any other God...Not seeing the point of being heartless but I do see some are not going to be sad to see Jobs go.
Just my $0.02,

I agree, especially the next person to step into his shoes full time. I might send in my curriculum vitae later :)

Even if something isn't specifically mentioned in the rules, it doesn't mean that it would be permitted. It is up to the moderators and administrators to determine what is appropriate and what is not.
Is it that you have forgotten them? Or maybe you don't care to follow/be mindful of them? Either way I am sure any one of us can quite easily help you with that or hasten you on your way if you so desire.
Power trippin' at the gates of hell!
You're seriously in danger of reducing yourself to his level.
People have expressed their opinion of his view...
ddp, sorry to hear about your mum. I had to look after mine when she had bowel cancer. I hope she survives... mine didn't.
And there is the expected comment singling Oner out (by the usual one(s) to do so) for something other people have said or feel as well...Odd isn't it? So let me make this clear ~ it's not a power trip, just the job of a moderator. But I guess I can't be human and make my view/emotions be known as to how ghastly inappropriate and of low character to point out what was said. Seriously? FFS he wishes the man to die and you want to somehow compare me to him! .. .... ........
Time to bite my tongue as I do REALLY have 3 words I would like to say but again, as a moderator I can't really say what I would like to in this situation, but I am sure most people have an idea or have said exactly what I feel already.
I have not singled you out in particular Oner, I am referring to both you and ddp.
But you don't express an opinion above mate, lol I can read... it was threats and intimidation. All you did was tell him that you had the right to can him on a whim. However, he broke no forum rules and ddp already censured him, so what more do you want? Believe me, you don't come across as heroic.
Instead of the usual re-inventing what I posted, take it from me: express your opinion as much as you like (this is kind of what I wrote before). Sounds like you confuse your job with expressing your opinion though. I stand by what I wrote... yes, by your bullying you are in danger of reducing yourself to his level in terms of meanness. Gloating that freedom of speech is an illusion here...is that how AD wants to appear, like a police state? Well good for you then.
For goodness sake, Jobs is despised my many people here. Even though it was insensitive etc., you should have expected that someone would post something along those lines. Surely there are guidelines for mods as well as punters... aren't there? Something along the lines of threatening to ban members who don't agree with you?
It certainly was not that "odd" to me that you made that initial posturing, nor was the subsequent martyring with it's whiff of desperation. Come on, if LiveChaos expressed what you wanted to say... why didn't you just say that?
Take care,
Jem.
P.S. I will make you a better person! (ROFL. Just kidding.)

But as of this moment am running OS X on my PC and gettin to like it.
With Apple using Intel x86 architecture, its easier than ever to run it on PC.
Hang on, don't Macs do x64 yet???
I have considered building some Machead friends Hackintoshes to save them a bit of cash but they are a bit too gutless to try it. :)
If i read Apple's own comments for x64 support (http://www.apple.com/macosx/technology/) it seems they say it is build with x64, and ready for the future.... So it reminds me of Microsoft's good old Win32s... If I read Apple's post correctly there stuff is now built to support running in x64 but the system itself only emulates it until they truly support it natively...
One of the biggest issue going from 32 to 64 bit, are the word/byte alignment issues... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_structure_alignment), it isn't as easy to simply switching from a 32bit compiler and recompiling in x64. Going through many program ports at work the errors would pop up in the strangest places, thank god for all the automated tests we had :)
It automatically runs the programs in 64bit if they support it on my machine.
I can boot the 64bit kernal, but i dont really need to, a only have 4gigs of ram in my system.
4gigs is plenty for 64 bit. Sounds like it's done in emulation if you don't boot that kernal.

Meh.
You say this & that but as always it doesn't add up...post # 45 you single me out yet you say you didn't. This is expected, continuous and a regular occurrence. So which one is it now? You know what NVM, my answer is clearly in B&W already. The funny thing is I said nothing different than most others here but because you have specific issue with me you ALWAYS try your damnedest to make it something bigger i.e. somehow comparing me & him as the same in some weak attempt to stir the pot...get over yourself, give it up and move onto something new already.
Whenever you want to close this DDP, DVDBack23 or anyone else please go ahead.
