You cant patent (or copyright) the usage of a typeface (aka font), only the original font(ie if you own the font, and use it for something, the font maker has no claim on what you made). that said, Radioshack most certainly has a trademark on their logo. If it is to similiar to their logo, they can sue you for diluting their trademark (which they are legally required to do if they want to keep their trademark). I'd wager your creation there would be considered parody, and be protected under copyright. I do not know how fair use applies to trademark.

Simple as that



A Mac and a x86 computer are essentially the same thing. Different types/kinds/brands of processors, RAM, and other components inside, but it all accomplishes the same task, crunching numbers, by method of relaying electrical signals to different parts of the computer. To say that an PC doesn't work is plain ignorance and stupidity. The operating systems in which the user can interact with the computers are different. But there are many operating systems can be used. A "OS X vs Windows" argument may be valid, providing good points are brought up with evidence. However, there are many operating systems available for use on the PC, such as Windows, BeOS, 166 Distributions of Linux, and Unix. To say that OSX is better than 150+ operating systems is plain stupidity, because you probabaly have not tried them all.

Creating an operating system for the PC is not an easy task. There are many different components you can put in a PC, made by many different manufacturers. It is not an easy thing to get an operating system to work with the millions of different computer configurations available. Standardized parts do make it somewhat easier to make things work, but still problems arise. Some configurations will work perfectly with many operating systems, while some will just not work at all.

With a Mac, there is only 1 configuration: anything put together by Apple/Motorola. You have no alternative. Note that you will also pay through the nose for these components, since they have a virtual monopoly on the Mac platform. However, they can't set their prices extremely high because they don't have a monopoly in the computer market.

To say that a mac is better than a computer is just like saying that socialism is better than capitalism. Sure, socialism works, and everyone is happy because they have what they need, but there's only one way to do it. With capitalism everyone can do their own thing, and some people do it better than others. Some people are just plain miserable. There's tons of ways to potentially succeed, but not all work.

Win2k works just fine, until (l)users gimp it out.

That said.

I'd never want to do that...

I'd have no reason to call the cops on Bill, he's more law-abiding than I am...

YAY!

Thank you very much.

Remind me that I owe you a call of the cops(or however that makes sense), later (I'm sure there'll be enough reason if you attend Championships ;)).

Are you suggesting that sweet little innocent me would be a mischief ring leader at the championship event? (that is if I were able to swing a way to go)

I'm flattered!
