So, I'm trying to get this new headset to work, and I can't get the microphone to work. I look on the website, and it doesn't support

@modulusshift Mac. (dang enter to send...) Which is interesting, since it uses standard 3.5mm ports for both speakers and microphone, and I'm not having any speaker problems. I didn't think the microphone standards were any more complicated.
Tuesday, 06-Dec-11 02:00:31 UTC from web-
@modulusshift It's because of Apple's refusal to accept unapproved third party software. Or peripherals.
Tuesday, 06-Dec-11 02:02:44 UTC from web-
@thatonepony Through a 3.5mm port? That they installed, specifically for microphones and because it was a standard, which means you don't have to approve every peripheral? Color me doubtful.
Tuesday, 06-Dec-11 02:04:51 UTC from web-
@modulusshift I mean things like Apple's refusal to use standardized cables, like HDMI, VGA, DVI, etc. The software for your headphones, also. Apple didn't want to use it, so it's not compatible.
Tuesday, 06-Dec-11 02:08:45 UTC from web-
@thatonepony There was no software. And it is a standard cable. You're not helping.
Tuesday, 06-Dec-11 02:11:56 UTC from web-
@modulusshift I wasn't trying to help. I'm just telling you it's not supported on Mac because Apple suck dicks.
Tuesday, 06-Dec-11 02:13:43 UTC from web-
@thatonepony (sigh) *reclassifies as minor troll*
Tuesday, 06-Dec-11 02:16:04 UTC from web-
@modulusshift I find that "minor" offensive. If I am to be classified a troll, I ought be considered with my rightful title of king.
Tuesday, 06-Dec-11 02:18:41 UTC from web-
@thatonepony Nah. Rather lame troll.
Tuesday, 06-Dec-11 02:22:44 UTC from web-
@modulusshift You should also understand that I'm not trolling at the moment. Apple really is evil, and I really do hate them.
Tuesday, 06-Dec-11 02:23:36 UTC from web-
@thatonepony I don't have any proof that they're not evil, but I'm not going to base my assumption upon a headset's microphone not working, even if it is for seemingly no reason. Besides, Mac works well. I can't use Windows anymore. Lackluster cmdline, lame origins, and it only still exists due to popularity.
Tuesday, 06-Dec-11 02:26:37 UTC from web-
@modulusshift That's a pretty good description of Mac.
Tuesday, 06-Dec-11 02:27:35 UTC from web-
@thatonepony The last bit? Ok, so the commandline is as capable as Linux, which I see as the gold standard for that. Origins are a bit weird, from NextStep and all, but the UNIX underneath is solid, unlike Windows, which was a DOS shell that refused to die when DOS did. And Mac isn't terribly popular. If Apple needed to entirely rewrite it, no one would care terribly. I mean, they already did from 9 to X. Windows is much too popular to be rewritten from scratch, which is what I think it needs.

@modulusshift why is everypony replying 2 thatonepony that much i mean im fine with it its that its weird
Tuesday, 06-Dec-11 02:32:55 UTC from web-
@terlecnumber1 Because I'm a popular mangoeser.

@modulusshift "Mac isn't terribly popular." Good job, you just ruined your credibility. You've lost to argument by default.
Tuesday, 06-Dec-11 02:33:11 UTC from web-
@thatonepony Mac isn't all that popular, though. I laid out my points on why I don't think so, and you can't deny them. I mean, you compare Mac to half of what Apple does, and it's not very popular at all. There are a lot more iPhones and iPods than Macs at this point.
Tuesday, 06-Dec-11 02:36:17 UTC from web -
@thatonepony Or, for my troll answer. You can't type properly. Your argument is invalid.
Tuesday, 06-Dec-11 02:37:40 UTC from web-
@modulusshift Nice catch. I would have missed that. Also, Mac is hella popular. I'm ending this now, because you're just making up reasons at this point.
Tuesday, 06-Dec-11 02:39:24 UTC from web-
@thatonepony Alright then, if you don't see my arguments as having any point, then I don't think you're capable of having an informed viewpoint on the situation. *reassessed to minor, misinformed troll*

@modulusshift I feel so much like Jade, but with good grammar and less awesomeness.
Tuesday, 06-Dec-11 02:44:19 UTC from web-
@modulusshift Jade's can only be girls. I'm stripping in front of a Jade actually.

@carcino Does that involve picking up your cheeseburger ten times before eating it?
Tuesday, 06-Dec-11 02:53:05 UTC from web-
@thatonepony ...where is the burger from?
Tuesday, 06-Dec-11 02:53:30 UTC from StatusNet Android-
@carcino How the dicks am I supposed to know that?
Tuesday, 06-Dec-11 02:54:43 UTC from web-
@thatonepony because Fast food is gross.
Tuesday, 06-Dec-11 02:55:23 UTC from StatusNet Android-
@carcino Which is why it's all you eat, right?
Tuesday, 06-Dec-11 02:56:11 UTC from web-
@thatonepony well its either that or Mom's soup.
Tuesday, 06-Dec-11 02:56:33 UTC from StatusNet Android-
