In the 80's, my dad and I drove through Yosemite during a forest fire. It was much like this, except for the creepy music.

lol - yes, I use a Mac, and enjoy using it after years of preferring windows - My laptop has Win7. I just updated from Mountain Lion to Maverics. Not sure if I want Yosemite, but my system at work is updating to it this month.

My daughter, very clearly pointed out that there is no point her having the new laptop or hers (which she paid for herself) with the touch screen, if she can't use the Apps downloaded from the Store. That's where the power is or intent of the whole touch screen experience.

(also I must mention, - my error - she has 8.1 and not just 8 )(Though I'm not really seeing the difference, but I'm not the one using it, just the one who needs to trouble-shoot and keep the thing running.)

excellent start to the flame war!

not sure about 8, because I immediately updated to 8.1 from 8... There is a way to just use old school local accounts, not tied to MS account in any way. The only downside is that you can't download (even free) Apps on the Microsoft Store until you create/link an account, but you can run any of the Win7 and earlier "Desktop" apps.
(Unless you have Win 8 RT, in which case, sorry you're SOL because it has no Desktop mode)

counter-point: OS X Yosemite broke many things from Mavericks. I still run Mountain Lion on my main Mac though. I don't sync to iCloud either.

Yeah, what @artician said.

They're extremely aggressive and they can hurt you pretty bad. They come down from the mountains either because there isn't enough food up there or because some dumb fucks actually put food out for them and then they start to see all humans as potential food sources (similar to the problems Yosemite Park has with bears in the U.S.). A lot of them have also learned that if they blitz a human coming out of a convenience store with a plastic bag, the human will likely drop the bag (which often contains food) and run away.

Your video, Massive Fall and Swing from Top of "El Capitan", Yosemite, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Thanks for the link, I have heard of this one but haven't seen it, will check it out. I have seen "Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips" and on Youtube there are some of the racist clips, like Bugs Bunny in "Southern Fried Rabbit", where he pretends to be a slave in front of Yosemite Sam.

On the same subject, one thing I noticed firsthand was for the longest time in the early 70s the TV would show the complete cartoon where Elmer Fudd plays a Canadian Mountie and at the end he has Bugs Bunny in front of a firing squad. He asks Bugs if he has any last requests and Bugs says "I wish......I wish.......I wish I was in Dixie" and it cuts to a scene in a cotton field with several guys in black face singing "Camptown Ladies". Then one day they stopped showing the final scene, they would cut to the closing "That's All Folks" right after Bugs says "I wish I was in Dixie".

I was confused at first at the change, then slowly figured out why they stopped showing that final scene. Let me see if I can find it online.

thanks again for the link.

By the way, have you ever seen "Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs"?.

It's one of the "Banned Eleven" Looney Tunes that are considered too blatantly derogatory to black people to syndicate. Video link is below. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censored_Eleven

A lot of Americans yearn for New Zealand.... So beautiful there. I may yet make it. Just sent in my passport application!

So where are you, Chaos? (Just saw your Yosemite post.... )


Christchurch, New Zealand. It's another beautiful part of the world (well, Christchurch itself is somewhat messes up since the earthquake last year, but the south island is pretty special).
