What would happen if in the matrix...
 

...you took the red and blue pills at exactly the same time?

Captain Jack would become the Face of Boe.

I assume they'd cancel each other out and you'd have no effect. Or it'd be a /0 situation.

Or, Neo gets 1337 hacks and the computers are all like "wtf?! No fair, he's got haxxorz!!1!! Where's the mod?!!!!!"

And then Smith is like "stfu noob, just cuz you suck." And then someone starts singing chocolate rain and everybody types "lol."

And then the matrix crashes.

As for what that looks like, everybody stops moving, and a loud voice says "fatal error, your massive illusion designed to enslave the human race has performed an illegal operation. Then the Windows Matrix preforms a BSOD and somehow does a RROD at the same time. This causes all the people to realize their lives are simply a film trilogy "

And somewhere, Bill Gates begins to laugh, the hollow sound of his empty, hate filled soul bouncing around his empty mansion. He laughs, because he knows that when the matrix says "fatal error", it really means it.

Chances are, the one that would make him forget it all would take priority. ;)

Easiest way to find out: Take a caffeine pill and a sleeping pill and see what happens. ;)

Why does everyone hate Bill Gates. He's a nice guy and a genius who got his company hijacked by suits :(

Now Steve Jobs, he's an asshole.

Probably everything would turn into a Hieronymus Bosch painting.

WTF, leave Steve out of this.

Ask any Apple employee and they'd tell you the same thing. He's a genius, but an asshole.

So what? I'm sure Bill Gates has his moments too. We all do. Sometimes you have to be an asshole to get to the top the way he did.

Steve Jobs is consistently an asshole. He's a manipulative, authoritarian control freak. Haven't you read anything about him? It's fascinating.

Really, it''s pointless pretending he isn't an asshole because his assholism is exactly what has brought Apple it's success. The two things are interwined.

I have indeed, and it is fascinating.

I'm not pretending anything. My original post merely asked you to leave him out of this. :P

Assholism is a good word, btw. And that's a good reason to practice assholism. It brings great success!

It's really better to keep the assholism in your business and be reasonably nice otherwise. :P

I've never read anything about Steve Jobs but I do know for certain that Bill Gates is a great guy.

I do and it most certainly does :P

Steve Ballmer, on the other hand...

+ YouTube Video

Dear god man.

That's one of the scariest things I have ever seen.

The shots of him in that sweat dreanched shirt.. WTF? This guy is the Microsoft CEO now?

So, uh, fastest way for me to get onto the Mac OS X? :rolleyes:

I think Danny does home delivery. He loves Apple THAT much.

Well, it depends how much money you have...

He didn't home deliver it to me :(

Do you want me to deliever a Mac to you? It could be your christmas gift. :P

He already has one. :P

Larren needs one now. Give him one.

Ok, i will need a postcode mind, lol.

Haha. I've honestly been meaning to get one for awhile, but broke college student means no chance in hell of getting a brand new mac. ;)

If only BootCamp let one put OS X on a PC.

Google is your friend.

...A 'Hackintosh'? I've never heard of this before, but going to read up on those articles. Should prove interesting, thanks!

Bear in mind, it's illegal, totally unsupported, unreliable, and can be a downright pain in the ass to get working. Some computers apparently have no problem with it, but others (like my frigging guest computer) seem to rabidly dislike OS X. I've spent about four weeks now trying to get it working, still to no avail.

I like to think of it as a "demo" of Mac OS X -- something to tide you over until you can make the step up to a real one. (It's what got me through those last painful months before I got my MacBook Pro.)

I think it would require a computer with the same hardware that Apple uses to function properly. But in that case it would probably cost so much that it wouldn't justify not buying the real thing.

The same or similar. Really, it can be made to work with just about anything if you screw with it enough. It's just easiest on hardware similar to Apple's.

There's no justification for not buying the real thing except "I don't have enough money right now." The only reason I would recommend it is, like I said above, to tide you over until you can afford the real thing.

That's the idea.

Aye, that became clear after reading an article on it, just had no prior knowledge of this. ;)

Sounds cool, like you said, a demo to tide you over.

Seeing as I only have one computer now and it's used for everything I do, probably won't be trying it. Just will have to save up and get a mac someday.

Yeah. It can be fun to play with though.

When i get home I might try it there, since my Laptop is sort of essential to Uni.

But then again, perhaps i should download it onto all the Uni Computers, since they are bladdy Dell's anything would be an improvement
