Can I play games and watch porn without worries on a macbook pro?

I'm confused about the password thing. Put my password into what? You mean don't make an account for someone to log on my macbook pro?

I got another question guys. How does Unreal Tournament 2004 run on a macbook pro? I've never played it, but I've heard really good things about the game. How do you guys like it compared to Quake 3 arena?

OS X asks you to enter your password for anything to install itself into system areas and such. As long as you don't enter your admin password, nothing will be installed.

If a malicious website wanted to install a Trojan on your system it would at some point in it's process require you to enter the admin password. That's why the previous poster said you'll be safe as long as you don't put in your password (while surfing porn).

you'd have to go through all the steps here to get a trojan. It basically wont happen unless you actively make it happen.
 
I hate to break the first rule of usenet, but OP, just get on usenet. Astraweb would probably be best for you (11 dollars month unlimited) although I fear you may hurt yourself on the vast amount of content :D

Not that I would know anything about that.
And for the rest of you's usenet doesn't exist...

Wouldn't that kind of ruin the moment- you know, like having to stop and put some protection on? :D

I laughed quite hard.

The OP has been amazingly open, shame he couldn't use this confidence on real girls, at least they won't mess with your mac unless you let them..
 
Yeah I have, but I'm gonna stop because people are accusing me of being a troll. Can I play quake 3 arena with high frames per second on the $1400 macbook pro? Oh and can I use a 2 button mouse on a mac? lol
 
OP, you are a man of little concern. Give me my games and porn :). You, my friend, are welcome here. Good luck on finding your mac and to many happy hours of porn and gaming.
:apple:
 
Can't comment on the games much, as I hardly play them and if I do, it is on my roomy's PS3. You are more than likely better off using Boot Camp to play modern games though, as Mac versions of many popular titles are either a) not coded as well, i.e. more time/$ is spent on the Windows version, or b) non-existant, likely because the developer does not have said time/$ to devote to Macs.

As for the porno - you have certainly shown that you are not careful about it (as evidenced by the trail of computer destruction :D), so I can't really say just be careful and you'll be fine... Like others have said though, you actually have to TRY to get infected to get infected on a Mac. From my experience, any respectable porn site distributes files in .wmv or .mpg. If they have a custom codec, FIND A DIFFERENT SITE. There is no reason to encode porn in a fancy alternative codec. So, once you have flash, shockwave, etc. and Flip4Mac (.wmv codec for Quicktime) installed, if a porn site asks you to install something, DON'T, and again, find a different site.

And yes, you can use a 2-button mouse. The myth of not having one is more than a decade old and was never really true...

And, as others have mentioned, props for being really open about all this ;)
 
I regularly watch filth on my Mac. Anyone who says they don't is a liar.
 
Thanks guys, I see they are giving away a free itouch for a limited time with a macbook purchase. How much are the games for it?
 
WOW!! heavy gaming and Porn.

don't get those confused or you may shoot the screen with the wrong gun.

sorry, couldnt help it.

as for your ? as long as you have common sense and dont download anything with out knowing what it is you will be fine. in fact, i saw a post on here earlier about snow leopard warning you about these malware things before installation. (it's on the story page)

you asked about shipping also. Apple has free standard shipping on any order over $50. but you do not have to go there to get the student deal. you can get it at Best Buy also. they do not advertise it, but if you ask them they do it.

in fact it is a little better since they give an instant rebate on the ipod intstead of submitting it and waiting for apple to give you a check.

Do you know if they give the $100 rebate on the select HP printers and the $229 rebate on the ipod itouch?

You can only have one or the other. Apple doesn't allow for both deals for one Mac purchase. And a piece of advice, try to keep your posts appropriate, they are really getting close to stepping over the line in terms of adult nature and this thread will get closed and you might get banned.

I'm stupid when it comes to computers and specs, so please bare with me. I want to know if I can play Quake 3 Arena and Soldiers of Fortune 2: Double Helix Multiplayer demo on a macbook pro. If the answer is yes, will I have high frames per second (I don't care about the detail of the graphics, I just want smooth gameplay)? Would I be better off buying quake 3 arena for the mac, or getting bootcamp and windows (and installing my pc version of quake 3 arena)? I ask that because I read on a forum that to play soldiers of fortune 2 without slowness, you need to have windows.


I also want to know if I can go to porn sites and not have to worry about getting viruses/computer problems. I screwed up 2 PC's because of my porn addiction :eek:. One last thing, how much is shipping on the apple site. I'm curious if I would be better off getting a macbook from them because I have a student discount or if I should just get it at Best Buy.

Thanks a lot

Shipping's free.

Nope, if you want high fps, the one with the dedicated video card (2.66 GHz) is the one for you. (2,000, not 1,400). You'll get average fps on any of the lower end models.

Come on. Drop it dude. The only thing that is questionable is asking what sites someone uses, and that was over PM. Is anyone here actually at all offended by someone admitting they watch a lot of porn?!?!?!

And, as Tallest pointed out, you are 100% wrong on the one or the other. I can attest to this fact, as I got both when I got my Mac. It really is a heck of a deal... I might have to buy at Best Buy next time though, if they do in fact give you the rebates instantly. I hate waiting 4-6 weeks...

Well shoot, if I'm not immune to porn sites, maybe it would be best if I bought a very cheap computer for porn and a very nice laptop/desktop for games.

Why do you guys prefer Macs over PC's anyways? I don't think I would have any issues with a PC if I stayed off porn sites...

Grow up, MR is not for adolescent teens on here who want to talk about inappropriate material. The conversation was getting progressively out of line. HOW OLD ARE YOU?

Incorrect. You are eligible for both.

You're right, I just checked, my apologies.
