Apple's OS X is superior to Microsoft's Windows

PRO's arguments: Programs These programs that are 'free' are included in the cost of the computer that will be bought itself. As a result, many Mac computers tend to be a bit more expensive then computers with windows. This point is also, in a way, hard for me to debate, considering Microsoft makes no real computers (only tablets and software). However, Apple's greed has definitely overtaken their programs. Sure they provide these free programs, but many, many, more programs are incompatible on OS X. (Also OS X only functions on a Mac) For anyone looking to get a full use out of programs will need to switch to Windows to get top of the line programs. As for the average Joe, many programs are included in windows for basic use as you may suggest. Antivirus I'd agree any software can get hacked, and this also depends on the actual computer itself. Considering I have to defend a software and you defend a software and a computer this makes this harder but still possible. A mater a fact, windows does have antivirus and I will even from their website: "Windows 10 is the most secure Windows we"ve ever built. From first boot up through the supported lifetime of your device, you"re covered by enhanced security features that help protect against viruses, malware, and even phishing attacks." -- This shows that yes Windows does in fact have free and installed antivirus to protect against attacks. CON's arguments: Gaming: Windows has the ability to connect and play with Xbox One and Windows 10 device users. Also, if you're a gamer (like me) so many more games are available on Windows that if you want to have the most fun, Windows is clear the best option. Searching: People doubt Microsoft Edge because its replacement of Internet Explorer (the king of internet browser memes), however, Microsoft Edge is quite amazing with an added thrill of the ability to write and type on webpages (something unavailable on OS X). This allows you to make notes directly on the page or even clear away distractions. Interface: The ability to snap apps into place, enable side by side views, or quarter-like viewing are all enabled in Windows and were originally invented as well. However, something Windows has that OS X does not, it the ability to create multiple Workspaces. Let's say I do debate, I am doing a research paper at school, and working on a business concept. I can separate this into three, easily accessible interface-like groups that allows me to organize things and allows a cleaner and easier to use computer. (To see this in action just visit Microsoft's website). Cortana: Not only does this friendly AI do your wishes, from searching the web to setting reminders (and delivering them to you at the right time and place), but she has an innovative learning curve that allows her to be more useful and personal to you specifically.
Apple's OS X is superior to Microsoft's Windows

I trust we will learn much from this debate. I think that Apple's OS X is superior to Microsoft's windows in many ways, not all. Therefore, I shall start my arguments. Programs Apple's OS X is fully packed with programs for everyday use. If you buy a new Mac, and you're looking to edit videos, pictures, music, and do work, Apple's got you covered. Unfortunately, in Windows, you have to download a program for everything. For example, if you want to edit a picture, music, and record/edit videos, you're going to actually have to buy programs to accomplish what you need. Apple's got GarageBand, iMovie, Quicktime Recorder, and to edit pictures, all you have to do is open the picture file, and edit it with Preview. The best thing of all, is that it's all free. Need to do a job for school or for work, no problem. Apple offers iWork on the Mac Appstore for free, which can include replacements for Microsoft Office and save yourself a hundred dollars. If you my opponent wish to change to Mac, I can give you a list of everything a Mac can give you that Windows can't. No Antivirus Apple's OS X and Mac computers have shown great invulnerability against attacks compared to Windows. Although it is true that any computer can be hacked, Macs are the safest platform from the market out there. In Windows, it has become increasingly easy for your PC to get infected by some sort of virus. Yet, this doesn't mean that should not take precautions while surfing the web on Macs. Apple makes it simple, Microsoft keeps it complicated. Apple has been upgrading it's operating system for easier and simpler use. That's why it's so easy to learn how to use Apple's Operating System. One example of how complicated is Windows: Accents. What you need to type """ is "Alt+N+164". It's a code. Are you going to remember that? In OS X all you have to do is leave a press a key with your finger and you've got options for which Accent you want to choose.
Apple's OS X is superior to Microsoft's Windows

Hello, I welcome you to this debate. This debate will be open for anyone who wishes to enter, and debate about this topic. In this debate, we will be debating about Operating Systems. Apple's OS X and Microsoft's Windows. The debate will be organized in the following way: Rounds: Round 1: Acceptance Round. Round 2: Pro begins with constructive arguments. / Con begins with constructive arguments, optionally rebuttals. Round 3: Rebuttals. Round 4: Rebuttals. Round 5: Final arguments and conclusion. I hope that whoever wishes to debate about his topic, is more than welcome. I'll be waiting.
Death Penatly

I agree, no judgment by any court is absolute. But if a heinous crime is committed with all evidence directed toward conviction, then that criminal must be sentenced to life in prison without, and i mean without parole, to protect our society. This leaves your option of future evidence regarding the case viable, as the convicted could be released if evidenced ever proved the conviction to be wrong." My opponent's resolution was that the death penalty should be legalized. He has not rebutted any of my reasons as to why the death penalty should not be legalized, and has even given a proof for my first reasoning. He has also supplied an alternative way to penalize those convicts, thus saving me the trouble. Penalize-to subject to a penalty, as a person. http://dictionary.reference.com... The resolution is negated.
Death Penatly

Thank you, Sam, for this interesting topic. The death penalty is barbaric at best and hypocritical at worst. I will bring religious and logical reasoning. 1) How can the jury possibly be able to convict someone to death? How can they possibly know all the facts? What if in a year from now new evidence will come to light that the accused is innocent? What shall we do, bring him back to life?! While if that person were incarcerated, he would be freed and allowed to live out his life. 2) If the government were to start executing people, then citizens will start taking the law into their own hands and kill people that had supposedly commited murder. 3) If the government were to start executing people, it would justify the actions of the KKK, Hamas and other barbaric, murderous groups-they would claim that just like America kills for crimes against humanity, so too those groups kill for their alleged crimes against humanity (being African-American, Jewish etc.). 4) Taking a life as justification is barbaric, and if America initiates that punishment, then America is barbaric. Resolution negated.
Rich and greedy little green men are controlling the future of freedom.

Name-calling? I have done nothing of the sort. "Troll" is a compliment, as I will demonstrate: P1: Imabench is awesome P2: Imabench is a troll C1: Trolls are awesome See? Perfect logic. So yes, Mr. Wallace, I do expect that you will respond in-depth. Please fulfill your BOP next round.
Abortion is evil baby murder!

Say a baby is going to be born soon, and for some reason the baby is inconvinient or immposible to be raised. Is it a terrible thing to 'kill' an unborn child if the situation demands it? For the small amount of pain the baby may feel (they develop nervous systems around eight months) is it bad compared to the pain it could cause to the family of the baby or even to itself if it lived and suffered? It can hardly be called killing because 1 in 5 babies abort anyways. And who knows best? An unfeeling clump of cells or a mature human? Okay, anyone who wants to reply...
Abortion is evil baby murder!

I never siad that any pro-life group said it was human, I said that although I'm, sure every pro-life group would support me in that claim. All the website wsas for was my source on the ten weeks claim. However since you seem to not think that despite having human DNA, it's not human, I'll prove to you otherwise. According to http://www.biology-online.org... the defintion of a human is: Belonging to man or mankind; having the qualities or attributes of a man; of or pertaining to man or to the race of man or from http://www.yourdictionary.com... of, belonging to, or typical of man (Homo sapiens) the human race consisting of or produced by people human society Or http://www.merriam-webster.com... of, relating to, or characteristic of humans Now I'd say, and I don't see how one could disagree with this, having human DNA gives you all of the qualities and characteristics of being human. Thus an unborn baby is human and thus killing it, even by your own definition, is murder. Furthermore you have completely ignored my points on adoption. If the parents feel that they can not, or should not raise a child they don't need to. There are millions of families that want to adopt so why not give them the gift of life. And even parents do decide to keep the baby and raise it in the so called "harmful and painfull" enviroment so what. MAny of the worlds most important leaders, and today and in the past, have come from similar situations. Oh and I agree, it is up to the parents, but it's up to them when they choose to have sex. At the time someone is old enough to actually have sex, they are smart enough to know the risk they are taking and they need to take responsibilty for they actions by either taking care of the child or by giving it to someone who will. Killing it does nothing but sweep a dark a dirty secret under the rug and in the long run, only hurts everyone involved. By your method of ending pain, it would be ok to shoot and kill someone with cancer, because they were in pain, no matter how likely it is that they would survive and make the world a better place. Sorry Lance, no Tour de Frabce for you, Samacado wanted to end your misery instead I will leave you with this thought. How is murdering people ever helpful and not evil. All it's really doing is finding a scape goat or an irrational quick fix to your problems. Genocides such as WW2 and Rowanda didn't help the Germans or the Huttu establish a better economy or give them any kind of peace. Shooting someone who was once a criminal doesn't make the world any safer or better, it just makes his family and friends mad at you and it makes you a criminal.
Abortion is evil baby murder!

Regardless if a pro-life group considers it a human or not, it is not murder. If we look at the definition again, it does not fit any of the criteria (perhaps being human) so how can it be murder? Like I said before, who knows better? The parents or the child. THe parents, the group of people who are fully developed and (hopfully) have a couple decades experience in life. Or the child, who's greatest accomplishments according to your pro-life site is clenching his fist and smiling. Obviously the parents. I will admit that abortion is not always nesacary, but in the situations it is necasary then it should be allowed to go right ahead. It is up to the parents. It is not evil, it is helping pepole. It is not murder (not going to explain that again). It may not even be a baby involved, as you pointed out in the first argument, it can't tell you. Have to go now, thank you for the argument.
Abortion is evil baby murder!

http://www.prolifeacrossamerica.org... They can feel pain at ten weeks, although their nervous system isn't complete, it is developed enough at this point to feel the pain of death. As for the raising of the baby. If the families situation is really that bad then they can always give it up for adoption. There are millions of families that want to adopt babies. Two of my good friends are adopted and I'm glad, and i'm sure they are too, that their parent's didn't have abortions. Furthermore, many people have risen up from poverty and overcome their disadvantages and made the world a better place. As for being born to a family of bad medical history. MY family has a history of cancer, SIDS, heart attack, and mental retardation (my cousin, who by the way, i'm glad is alive) and my parents didn't decide to abort me, my twin or my older brother. ANd coincidently, I support their decision. How could it not be murder. Life begins at conception and laws supports that (DWI/hitting a pregnant women). That "parasite" as you so cold heartily called it has HUMAN DNA, thus it is a human life.
Abortion is evil baby murder!

Are you sure about that ten weeks thing? I read a article and it said that, mabey i remembered wrong. The small amount of pain it may or may not feel as you so kindly pointed out, may be nothing when you compare it to how badly the baby may be raised, even if the parents try their hardest. The parents may not have enough money to raise the child, they may not have the resources, or mabey they have to travel or they're not ready to have a child. Are you saying that if a child is about to be born to a fourteen year old girl with sickel cell disease, AIDS, and a family history of cancer that the baby should be forced to live in suffering? It is not murder because the life being taken is not yet a life, it could be called potential life, a very conservative, idiotic thing to say if you ask me, as there are four or five chances for potential life every time 'babies are made' and three or four of those atoumaticly abort, without anyone getting arrested. Even if you did terminate this 'potential life' you aren't commiting homocide. You are ending the existence of an undeveloped clump of parasitic cells that may or may not grow into a healthy human (pardon my cold way of describing this, I'm just debating). Mur-der: noun; the unlawful killing of another human especially with mallice or homicidal intent. Now abortion is not unlawful. It is perfectly legal. Emberyonic cells are not humans. They are cells. And when you terminate them you are not malicious or homicidal, you are probably more sane than most people, and you have a degree to show for it. I'm suprised that you didn't bring up the subject of depriving the world of a brilliant mind or artist. You may want to bring that up next round, because I've got a counter argument already set up for it ;)
Abortion is evil baby murder!

First of all, babies can feel pain in ten weeks, not 8 months. Even if it is a "small" amount of pain, it's still murder. That's like saying it's okay to shoot someone in the head because they'll only feel a small amount of pain. And how do you know it's a small ammount, it's not like the baby can tell you. Why would the situation ever demand to kill the baby (aside from mother endagerment) there. And how can it be immpossible to raise a child. That statement makes no sense at all. As for the pain for the family. Yeah, the baby might suffer and have pain. But so did everyone else at that point. And the pain is easily balanced by all of the joys that having and raising a child brings.
Is King Dedede One of the Best Characters in Super Smash Bros for Wiiu/3DS? Reissue

Uhh, okay. R1 Please name a projectile that is a) As slow as Gordo, with Gordo only being generated on frame 6[1] and becoming active on frame 28[2]. Compare that to Mario's fireball, active on frame 17[3], or Sheik's needles(frame 5!)[4], both excellent zoning tools. b)Can be hit back at the user without the aid of a reflector. Neutral special is poor, and is only useful as a gimping tool(Nair is much better for that) R2 HAHAHAHAHAHNO. If we look at Pro's source, Dedede has the 3rd best recovery in the game. However, this is pretty irrelevant. Most characters have an excellent recovery. The purpose of recovery is simply to get back to the stage. Dedede's recovery also suffers from the same problem as Duck Hunt's- there's no hitbox on the top.[5] This makes him gimpable, along with his huge hurtbox. R3 Uhh, no. It's extremely telegraphed. Even with the new shieldstun, it's the simplest of things to shield or spotdodge, It has poor knockback for such long startup and ending. R4 Dedede's throws are okay, but he lacks a kill throw. R5 This is cute, but this was done against a CPU. This means that it will have no DI. With proper DI, this combo is escapable at 15-odd percent.[6] R6 For Glory is filled with scrubs. It's pretty irrelevant to use it as evidence. Anther's Ladder is better, but if we look at statistics [7] Dedede does pretty poorly against the likes of Sheik, Diddy, Mario, Ness etc. BoP is on Pro. However, I do not feel that this debate has fully explored all the possibilities of Dedede. I've challenged my opponent to another debate, as an extension of this one. Please vote on that based on its own merits, and that of this debate.

Is King Dedede One of the Best Characters in Super Smash Bros for Wiiu/3DS? Reissue

In this round I will counter my opponent's arguments. I make 5 points. (Note that they are not in the same order that con stated con's arguments) 1) Dedede's special moves are undeniably awesome. First, the Gordo throw, which Prima Games says is your best bet if "opponents are just trying to camp you." Moreover, "[Gordos] are... powerful yet consistent projectiles that can deal up to 14% damage with knockback that can KO under 150%, which makes them [extremely] reliable and useful on average.... The ability to bounce the Gordos in different trajectories also gives the move greater trapping capabilities. The hammer swing in the initiation of the move additionally produces its own hitbox that deals 12%, which can also hit opponents into the subsequently tossed Gordo for immense damage." [1] "Gordo Toss is one of the most important moves in your kit and, while being a double edged sword, has amazing potential." [2] Dedede's neutral special can, according to Prima Games, be used as a ranged counter. King Dedede is invincible on startup. Furthermore, King Dedede can heal by eating items. Healing items recover 50% more damage if you eat them! 2) My opponent admits that, ' Dedede has an excellent recovery, but since Sm4sh recoveries are easily the best in the series...' Even though Sm4sh recoveries are the best in the series, King Dedede has ONE OF THE BEST IN THE GAME[2][3], that means that he has one of the best recoveries in the whole series. Compared to other fighters, Dedede has great recovery, and Con just uses the excuse that most recoveries are good in Sm4sh. 3) "[DEDEDE'S DASH ATTACK] IS THE BEST ATTACK EVER. INSANE KNOCKBACK. YOU FALL ON YOUR FACE AND PEOPLE DIE. Seriously... [It] can be very strong in certain situations. First of all, the hitbox is disjointed and can hit an opponent under the stage or on a ledge. If you get the timing right this will destroy anyone trying to recover/sitting on the ledge without invincibility. Also, it is great for punishing landing lag, wait until they are vulnerable, then catch them out for an easy kill." "KD3 has a fairly average grab range, but great options when throwing the opponent. FThrow and BThrow are both reasonable options, but DThrow has great combo potential, so we want to be using that the most." "Down throw is the only one worth talking about in my opinion, so here we go. It has amazing combo potential, and depending on the opponent and percentage you can either follow it up with an aerial of your choice." 4) King Dedede can strike back at Mario. [4] 5) "[O]nline, not a lot of players know how to deal with him..." [5] [1] http://www.ssbwiki.com...(SSB4) [2] http://smashboards.com... [3] http://youtu.be...; [4] [5] http://www.gamefaqs.com...
Is King Dedede One of the Best Characters in Super Smash Bros for Wiiu/3DS? Reissue

R1'King Dedede is the 3rd heaviest character. This is good because then it is harder for opponents to launch him.'This comes coupled, however with the responsibility of having a huge hurtbox(compared to top tiers such as Mario, Zamus, Sheik etc.) This, coupled with his weight, makes him combo food- Sheik fairplanes him to death, Mario can juggle him with D-throw and fastfall Uair. Dedede has no combo breaking moves[1], therefore he can't get out of these easy combos. His fastest move comes out only on frame 6, which is pathetically slow compared to, for example, Mario, who has excellent frame data,[2] with a frame 2 jab and a combo-breaking Nair which comes out on frame 3 (extremely fast).A image illustrating the size of Dedede's hurtbox R2Dedede has an excellent recovery, but since Sm4sh recoveries are easily the best in the series (excluding Brawl MK), this is irrelevant. Dedede does NOT have good aerial mobility, because he's so slow. His air speed is the worst in the game[3].R3In addition to this, however, they have loads of starting and ending lag. This makes him one of the most punishable characters in the game(like Ganondorf), because if he whiffs one, it's a free grab. His side smash is entirely telegraphed, and is easily avoidable. His dash attack is hysterically bad, it's even more telegraphed than side smash. Dedede's throws are nothing to write home about, the dthrow Uair chaingrab can be avoided by airdodging or good DI.R4No. He has a terrible edgeguard game. His moves are all so slow that they are easily airdodgeable. Gordo is very bad for edgeguarding, as if you hit it (with a 3 frame Nair,say) it goes back towards Dedede.C1 Bad matchupsAccording to smashboards, the best source that we have for smashbros, Dedede's matchups against high tier characters are terribad.65:35 to Diddy(zoned by banana, juggled, peanuts)50:50to Rosaluma(I disagree, Dedede is juggled by Rosaluma to death)70:30(unwinnable) to Zamus(strong punish game)65:35to Sonic(2fsat4u)55:45 to Yoshi(Eggs, sikk punish game)60:40 to Falcon, Villager, Pikachu, Luigi and Mario(Falcon styles, Villager slingshot shuts dedede down, Pikachu is in combo heaven, and so are Mario and Luigi)65:35 to Fox(great air game vs a terrible one)65:35 to Megaman(lemons and projectiles shut dedede down)60:40 to Ness(Pk Fiya, PK Fiya and the back-throw)60:40 to MK (BEFORE buffs)It's pretty clear that Dedede has a hard time with top tiers. This makes him not a good character by the rules of tier lists.NOTE ON DEDEDEThe slowness with which his moves come out means he must be a bait and punish character. However, Gordo is not a good enough projectile to zone properly with- it's slow and predictable. He's basically like Ganondorf, but with better recovery. This has been fun! I look forward to next round.1.)http://kuroganehammer.com...2.)http://kuroganehammer.com...;3.)http://kuroganehammer.com...;4.) http://smashboards.com...
