Title: News As Usual.
Post by: cmonkey on April 29, 2004, 05:08:02 pm
Some random news for today.

Happy 1st Birthday to SpongeBob Area! (sorry, I'm a few days late).

SpongeBob dropped out of the top ten viewed shows on cable for the first time in a while last week.  It managed to capture the #11 spot, while Fairly OddParents got #3 and #7 and an episode of Danny Phantom got #4.  Is SpongeBob fading away already?  I don't think so.  It was just a bad week in my opinion.  While FOP may be Nick's new flagship show, SpongeBob isn't going to disappear until years from now.

I've started working on another website; one that is completely different from this one.    When it eventually launches, it will be a Linux/Open Source Software/Technology help/news/review site.  So, basically anything dealing with computers. :wink:  I'm working on it with a friend of mine, PartiallyNothing.  We managed to get the domain OpenHelp.org.  Don't worry, I'm not going to stop working on the Sponge Zone.  This is still my main site.

Number 11!?! Dang that hurts. One time it was #1. Now Danny Phantom and FOP took certain spots. GET RID OF DANNY PHANTOM!!!!



TV is getting suckier every year. If this gets any worse I'll move out of this country when I'm 18.

Danny Phantom got the rating because it's heavily advertised and it's new. In a few weeks it'll drop way down.

Wow. I guess these other shows are trying to take over SpongeBob's time on Nick. It will be a sad day when they take SpongeBob off of TV. Thank goodness for DVDs

Cool. I'm starting to understand computers a bit more. I'll have to stop by when it's finished.

Ugh... Macs USED to be the most POWERFUL, but not necessarily the best. Now adays they're beat out by PC's in most aspects.

Heck, I'm posting this on an iMac, but just because I can't afford to buy my own computer. Honestly, I've got nothing against Macs, it's just that PC's have more varieties in many different ways.

Well, Macs are faster and more stable than my mom's POS Dell.

Dell Vs. Power Mac G4 the same price,

Dell: Boot and down times are slow and straining, and makes a horrible noise.
G4: Quiet, fast boots and downs.

Dell: Pretty lame design. Bulky. Unwelcoming tone of colors.
G4: Bulky, but got colors.

Dell: Alot more is avalible to download.
G4: The only downloads are from Apple, mainly.

Dell: Fonts and screens don't look as good as Mac OS X.
G4: Silky-smooth design of fonts and screens.

Dell: Force-quitting apps that I DON'T WANT TO ANNOY ME are always neccessary.
G4: No force-quitting stuff is neccessary in the first place, and NOTHING annoys me.

Dell: Errors, viruses and crashes often. Likely to go beserk when the Mac does fine.
G4: No one writes jack for it, and it wouldn't crash. Errors {VERY UNcommon!!!!}

Dell: Main media creation system is... meh.
G4: iLife '04 is Teh r0x0rs!!!



Dell: 4.5 out of 10.
G4: 9.0 out of 10.

What? They'd still have computers today.. No matter what Steve Jobs tells you, he did NOT make the first graphical OS. Xerox did.

Yeah, I've heard Dells are really bad. HP stuff seems pretty cool. I have a Compaq and it works great. You should think about getting rid of the Dell and buying an HP product.

Dells are actually pretty good computers. They're very in-expensive too.

Yes.  I know.  I didn't say he did.

Like software and games?  You gotta go to VersionTracker (http://www.macupdate.com/index.php?os=macosx) and MacUpdate (http://www.macupdate.com/index.php?os=macosx).  They have way more stuff than Apple (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/).

Dells aren't good. MEEP!s right. That's probably the reason I dread Windows.
If I could get my mom to trash this 4500 and sell it, it would sell about for $850. Then, we would only have to pay $1500 for an Alienware Area-51 (http://http://www.alienware.com/Configurator_Pages/area-51.aspx?SysCode=PC-AREA51&SubCode=SKU-ENTHUSIAST) or Aurora (http://www.alienware.com/Configurator_Pages/aurora_ddr.aspx?SysCode=PC-A51AURORA&SubCode=SKU-ENTHUSIAST) and extra stuff. The Aurora is AMD-based, and the Area-51 is Intel-based. My mom likes them in black. :tongue:


*EDIT* Apparently, the performance of the Aurora is 13x of this 4500.

Yeah, same here. They run extremely slow. It's annoying. And we just bought them this year >_> But my step-mom used to have a Compaq laptop and it ran okay.

I've had a Dell for over 2 years now, and it still works great. My grandma got an HP a few years back, and after about the first year it was continually freezing. If you were on the internet for about 15 minutes it would freeze. We had an HP before and it was extremely slow, too. I dunno if other HPs are as bad, but that's the experience I've had with them.

That doesn't have anything to do with the computer, it has to do with the OS (Windoze).  See, that kinda stuff never has happened or will happen on my Mac.

No it doesn't. Each two of the computers I listed have the same OS.
