I apologise if I'm breaking your "rules" but I,m talking about the divide between charity i.e. helping those that are in dire need of help,they receive around 10% of U.S. charitable donations and the self serving tax racket with which the rich provide for them and theirs,the other 90%.In your somewhat confusing posts it appears it's OK to give to your own economic class for selfish reasons but not apparently to vote for a government which will pass legislation favouring your economic class. Incidentally by talking of lower and middle classes you are referring to social class not as should be apparent to most people economic classes.Also please refrain from quoting a romantic novelist in what should be a serious discussion.
I'm an individualist, I don't believe in 'social' classes, and use economic classes in general discourse only because it's useful in political discussion to be able to use generalizations in order to make conversation efficient and worthwhile. I believe individuals in a healthy free market generally determine their own fate.
I'd be interested in hearing more about your 90% vs. 10% numbers. Can you provide sources and clarify your position?

Indeed, AT&T should be doing it especially once the 2 year contract has expired-- as should Apple themselves.
Furthermore, Apple should be selling factory unlocked iPhones in the US.
It's funny because when a bunch of lawyers (or lawyer'd up consumers) went after ATT solely for the purpose of unlocking the iPhone after the contractual obligation, people were like:
WTF WELCOME TO AMERICA WHERE THE HOOKERS ARE CHEAP AND THE LAWSUITS ARE PLENTIFUL
or my favorite
WHY OH WHY CAN'T A COMPANY JUST MAKE A PHONE FOR ATT AND NOT VERIZON IT'S APPLES CHOICE.
Those who are familiar with the lawsuit will remember clearly that having the iPhone on verizon (at the time) was never a goal.
So it's the consumers fault on this one.

Lee, I'm sorry... but the definition of 'sensational' is not the same as 'anything Lee disagrees with'. Would you call the thread started today by rdowns called "Mike Huckabee... and American Dick" sensational? How about the one called "Wisconsin Public workers stand up to Republicans." I find that one pretty sensational. :rolleyes: Grow up.
May I also ask why you're not confident enough with your own views to answer the poll? Also, what exactly is 'innacurate' with my thread?
And yet I'm the guy you refuse to talk to?

Interesting, I use Westpac (although I'm in NZ, not Australia), and I haven't had any problems whatsoever with Safari.
With both Mozilla and Safari (don't know about Firefox), there are undocumented procedures to enable a "debug" menu which will (among other things) let you configure the browser to lie about its identity.
In many cases (but not all), this is enough to make an unfriendly web site work. Many times, the site contains scripts that simply check a browser version, even when the actual page content will run everywhere else.

I wonder if we will hit that point first or if cloning technology will make the point moot by growing fully functioning attachable limbs first.

Never considered one until I used my friend's 13" he just got, but once a real processor is adopted, I think I'm gonna get one. Love the speed the SSD brings, just not once you need to do anything remotely processor intensive. If they put like an i3 or i5 Sandy Bridge in I'm all over that (preferably i5 if the form factor could accommodate it, idk the power usage/heat factor off the top of my head).

Ah, but YOU'RE missing the point completely. As resolutions inscrease the interface can scale up because it is resolution independent in 10.5. Web pages are NOT resolution independent for the most part. Photos, graphics, interfaces are not. So, when you're looking at your killter 3000x2000 monitor yes your icons and OS interface can scale up and your photos will look very crisp BECAUSE they are vector or have extra resolution to draw from. Websites on the other hand will be fixed at 800x600 or whatever and unless you want them to be miniscule on your screen as they are shown pixel for pixel, they will have to be blown up in some way.
So the res independence IS a good thing and just fine UNTIL the monitor resolutions go through the roof for the same physical screen sizes.
There are too many things outthere that are desinged WITHOUT the independence. Icons inside nearly every application for example. All kinds of stuff. My guess is that this won't affect too much too quickly. It just addresses some issues with the current interface on high screen monitors.
There is no reason that internet images can't scale right along with everything else. Just because something is bitmapped doesn't mean it can't scale nicely. There are a million decent algorythms for scaling bitmapped images.
If an image is designed to look nice with a 72 dpi resolution and your monitor is at 144 dpi, then the image will be the identical size, shape and appearance as a 72 dpi monitor when the image is scaled 2 to 1 on the 144 dpi monitor.
Where is the problem? The resolution independence will come from the browser rendering not from the website design. In otherwords, if a user scales safari up on a high-res monitor then the contents will scale as well regardless of what the contents are, bitmap image, vector image, etc.

I had this same problem. It seems it was due to virtual 'parellels' adapters that are automatically activated. I created separate 'network locations' (in network preferences) for home where airport took preference over ethernet and the the two parallels adapters were deleted. It solved the problem. Good luck!
I am experiencing the same problem with my macbook pro. How do I delete the two parallel adapters?

As per the diagram, it's correct (hard to follow the wire colors as the bend around, but it looks right in terms of location as well as color). :)
What you're asking about (backplane cable that splits into two separate connectors with 4 wires for power) do exist (here (http://www.pc-pitstop.com/sas_cables_adapters/I2917-05M.asp)). It's not as clean IMO, but functional, and at least from this link, is more expensive (would have expected it to be cheaper, as they're used more often in PC's). If you look, I suspect you'll be able to locate it cheaper (just make sure you've more than 2 wires on the power connector - only get it if it has 4 power wires).
As per soldering, it's not hard, particularly soldering 2 wires together (buying a stick soldering iron, heat shrink tubing and solder won't be that expensive; should be able to manage it for under $20USD <example (http://www.amazon.com/Weller-SP23LK-Marksman-Watt-Soldering/dp/B0009ZD2AG)>, and it's handy for other projects). You can get a pack of heatshrink tubing from Walmart for under $5USD, and stay around the $20USD mark (as I assume you don't have any of the equipment or supplies to do it based on your aversion to soldering).

Time capsule is meant to be a backup drive...Did you delete all your music off your laptop as soon as it was on your TC?
There are many programs that will copy music off your iphone or ipod to hard drive. google it, very easy and quick to do. I'd use your next TC as intended!

let me start by saying that I just got my first mac ever (a new imac) last week.
last night I spend close to an hour just opening tons of different sized windows and using expose.
is this normal or is this the first sign of a mac addiction problem?
or both? :)
First just wanna say CONGRATS on your first Mac :)
Now back to you question: Who's to say being addicted to a Mac isn't normal :p (yea I don't if that even makes sense, lol) But yes I love Epos� as well. Very handy feature.

...or, as I did, just enable time zone support in iCal and make an event on the 15th from 0900-1030 PST with alarm set to go off 15 minutes before (or whatever warning time you need). ;)
Nice overview, though. :)

I worked for a couple of years in the cell phone industry for a company that acts as an intermediary between cell phone companies for various products. As part of my job, I had to deal with various escalations departments for all of the carriers and found that T-mobile actually had pretty good customer service. Maybe not the best but certainly not the worst.
Personally, I use T-mobile now and get a few more dropped calls than if I were using Verizon but they are also cheaper and have much nicer phones because they support GSM. I think that they are a solid choice if you live in top 100 markets but if not they just don't have the coverage. I really hope that they can expand their market to become competitive with Cingular and Verizon. Competition is always a good thing and I think that they would probably make a good partner for Apple.

Apple Stock 5400RPM HDD. 160 GB. (ye, me poorfag)
I have some choices
1. Is a reformat able to get it back to 50~ MB/s ?
2. Is the SeaGate Momentus XT 500GB Hybird 7200RPM good?
3. Is the Intel 302 SSD (80GB) good? Will it have problems with OS X? Or just go with X-25M?
4. Which should I get?
Thanks :)
