More Fun From the Psystards

June 20th, 2008, by The Angry Drunk

Good lords I just had an aneurysm.  I just noticed via MacNN that the nim­rods over at Psystar are ship­ping “servers” with Leopard as an option.  What sort of ram­pag­ing moron would actu­ally run a hack­in­tosh as a proper server?  I can under­stand the impetu­ous for the aver­age free­tard to build a hack­in­tosh for per­sonal use. They’re cheap bas­tards, and I sup­pose there is a cer­tain enjoy­ment in the process of shoe-horning OS X onto unsup­ported hard­ware.  But a fuck­ing 1U server? Quick ques­tion for any­one seri­ously con­sid­er­ing blow­ing a min­i­mum of $2,000 on one of these turds.  Who, exactly, do you think is going to pro­vide sup­port for this abom­i­na­tion.  I can guaran-fucking-tee it won’t be Apple. If I was a CIO and found one of these things sit­ting in my racks the shit-cannnings would hap­pen so fast that space-time itself would break.

    “under­stand the impetu­ous for the aver­age freetard”

    I think you meant ‘impe­tus’, there, though ‘impetu­ous’ does have a cer­tain poetic ring.

    Please don’t take this as a dic­tio­nary flame, though.. I’ve been work­ing my way back­wards through the archive and was utterly jazzed that you got ‘super­sede’ right in ‘Mind Boggling Stupidity’.

    Rip Ragged is right: Reading your archives is fun­nier than shit.

    In this case, for me, it was: “If I was a CIO and found one of these things sit­ting in my racks the shit-cannnings would hap­pen so fast that space-time itself would break.”

    Glad I found your site.
