And there are only a few factories in the world that can produce the aluminum unibody necessary for something of the Air's caliber, and Apple's got those factories booked up.

His standard method of posting includes a poorly-worded first post with Randomly capitalized Words that aren't Proper nouns, followed by not returning to the thread.

Don't forget Hydra-Os!

Every Intel-based Mac can run Snow Leopard, which means the newest machines that cannot run it were released in late 2006 so they're now 5+ years old. In the computer world, five years is a long time. Apple's generally very good about supporting older hardware with newer OS and software releases, but there's a point in time at which it's no longer practical to support older hardware, and the simplest way to keep your codebase from becoming a buggy, convoluted mess is to drop support for old architectures and simply move on.

There are several reasons Windows is bloated, buggy, and crash-prone, one of which is Microsoft's insistence on adding layer upon layer of legacy support. That's also, strangely enough, one of the reasons Windows 7 is much more stable than Windows XP and Vista were - it got rid of a lot of the underlying legacy crap and started fresh. Sure, people will complain because app X or game Y doesn't work like it used to but it's a very, very rare case where you can't find a more modern version of the same or similar application that runs just fine.

Anyways, your insistence that the ability to use a 10-year-old OS as your primary, everyday OS is a good thing is laughable. No one should be running a 10-year-old OS as their main OS, especially not one like Windows XP.

Okay, find me a non-Apple equivalent to the Macbook Air - in terms of size and power - at the same price point. I'll save you the time and effort searching and tell you you can't. There's a reason Intel's handing free money to OEMs to build their 'ultrabooks.'

Nope.

I haven't seen anything in patch notes but I know that it got fixed in I18 beta and then immediately broke again before the final release. Haven't played my widow in forever though.

If you're not factoring DR in, sure. When DR's on knockback powers are DR'd worse than KB protection so you don't need as much KB protection with DR on as you'd need with DR off. I don't know of any power normally encountered that'd punch through mag 47 after DR.

If you've got permadom, then no, but that's more or less impossible now so you're going to want to build a Dom just like any other squishy these days.

Not for the last 3-4 years.

Crabs also have mediocre damage and no knockback protection to speak of. I'm much more worried about Banes and Forts than Crabs.

While I think this is mostly true I've also noticed that non-PvPers have really really bad ideas for PvP and then run off crying when they're told exactly how bad their ideas are.

The stereotype about PvPers is a little ridiculous, especially because most of the PvPers I know also happen to be some of the smartest, most helpful, and best PvEers in this game as well.
