Very Awesome Christmas!

I got:

Macbook Pro 17" i7 256GB SSD 8GB RAM High Res Anti Glare
Kindle 3 with Marware Case
Timbuk2 Command Bag
Tron Legacy Addidas Hoodie
Chicago Blackhawks Winter Hat
Final Cut Keyboard Cover

The Macbook is insane, and I am not much of a reader but already bought Fight Club and have been reading that like crazy, so maybe I will get back into reading more. Good to spend time with all the family before I go off to college next year.

:)

Thanks so much for making another thread buddy.

I'm not sure you would describe it as "caning" but Android phones comfortably outsold the iPhone last year.

That's not at all what's at discussion in this thread. We're talking OS penetration, not phones sold. The statement was made that although iOS is comfortably in the lead in the US, that it's behind in the rest of the world. Given the closeness of the phone units sold, I'd be _VERY_ surprised if iOS had a lower penetration than Android.

Does anybody know of a piece of music i could use for my slideshow?

The sideshow contains picture of a camping trip in the summer holidays.


Thanks people.

For me, Holiday Road from National Lampoon's Vacation is the quintessential road trip song, but I don't know if that works for your slides.

Install/reinstall Chud Tools 3.5.2 OFC after updating to 10.5.8


Just trying that as you posted! updating to 10.5.8 - Lets see what occurs.....

I don't get why Americans like bigger cars. Maybe it's the old mantra of bigger is better? Myself, I have a honda civic Si. It's a fun car to drive; a little lift-off oversteer when you want to fool around, good handling and road holding when you want to go fast. It may only have a measly 160 hp, with 130 Ft/lbs torque, but it'll get me from 0-60 in under 7.5 seconds (almost 2 seconds quicker than a v6 charger) if I do my part massaging the short-shift 5-speed. Super stable even at top speed (140 mph) Best part? I put 10 gallons in when the fuel light comes on, and I'm good to go for another 300 miles. Super easy to park because it's so small... AAAND it's a honda, it'll run forever :)

Ok, I rambled a little bit... If anything, VW should be sending us more of its european fleet. Give us more R32's and sexy sexy sciroccos. Send us some phaetons if you want a larger car, or better yet, why not get an estate?

Japan was the one who attacked first, without any real reason behind.
Fine way to shoot a big hole in your credibility. Learn a little about the lead up to the war before making uninformed assertions like this.

Cool. I need to put the Pillboxie app on my mom's phone.

If Apple thought they'd be able to come in and over throw the Android strong hold on Verizon someone needs to go back and do some more market analysis. With such a wide variety of Android phones for Verizon, how did Apple expect they were going to be able to sell such large numbers and with an older to boot. Somone(s) got a little over zealous with their estimates and I bet they're hearing about it now.

Rape is about power and domination. Not about sex. it does not matter one f..ing bit what any woman was wearing.

What is the name of the game at 03:02?

There is an interesting phenomenon of "steadiness" (my words). As engines get more fuel efficient, people buy bigger/more powerful cars. Today's engines (per some measure I forget that makes sure the measure is for similar power/weight ratios) use something like a 10th of the fuel to produce the same power as engines from the '70s. The unheralded success story is that engine engineers have done the same thing with the internal combustion engine as electrical engineers did with electronics.

Similar thing for the areodynamics.

It's us, the consumer, that buggered up the fuel savings. We wanted 6 cylinders instead of 4, and 8 instead of 6. We wanted torque, power, and speed. We wanted trucks instead of cars. We wanted vans instead of station-wagons. Then we added all the electrical things (which rob an engine of power). Power windows, brakes, steering, computers, GPS units, DVD players, AC, heated seats etc.

So - as engine efficiency improved we added things that needed power, so that our mileage rates stayed "steady". We are getting more - for the same.

Same thing happens for freeways. It has been known for a long time that building more roads doesn't make traffic flow better - it merely allows for more cars. People will live, on average, about 40 minutes from work. If you build a new freeway to cut that commute time to 30 minutes.... they move 10 minutes further out.

I lived in city with no highways... Vancouver, BC (if you don't count the 5km or so of the #1 that cuts through the NE corner). Has been in the top 3 to 5 (usually at #1) ranked most liveable cities in the world for a number of years now.

We now live in the country, and a Passat has no appeal to me. Though we do drive a Smart Car. We love taking it to the US where there are far fewer of them. We get stopped at gas stations by people who are curious about it, and who think it's a toy. I just tell them that my $25 fill up will take me close to 500km (~300miles) - as they are hitting the $100 mark on their top up - that they do every couple of days. Hee Hee. We also get discounted street parking in Victoria, free hotel parking at some locations in Victoria, and preferred parking at some malls and in Sidney.

Camera phone, bad quality- but the picture says it all. :)

Its the screen saver Polar Clock 3.0 (http://blog.pixelbreaker.com/polarclock) with the app Wallsaver (http://www.wallsaverapp.com/) running lets you use any screen saver, as your desktop background. :p Now, no need for any questions. Good good :D

Today I opened up Xcode and ran my project, and I got 2 errors, here are the errors:
Duplicate interface definition for class 'CIColor'

The other error is:
'CoreImage/CIImage.h' file is not found

Any Ideas (Running Xcode 4.0)

Where do you get those iOS icons?

Napster was AWESOME! It worked, had few viruses (at least in the beginning) and was fast for the time. Ah, good memories of getting home from middle school and loading up...

Ugh, now we get HDCP. Reminds me of that DIVX thing they pushed back in the day. Every time new stuff comes along, they try and DRM the crap out of it. Good thing DIVX went down in flames.

PS: DIVX is not the codec for video, it was a "self-destructing" DVD variant.

Hey, Apple!!!

Can you PLEASE include separate email signatures for separate email boxes?!?!?

I'm collecting them too. :D

I want a 360 so badly.

People will just start using leet speak again.

I look after 250+ macs across 8 advertising companies across 3 countries.

All of them are bound to our AD & use MS Exchange for e-mail. All users login with their AD credentials, map network drives & login & have screen savers etc enforced.

Our environment is 80/20 in favour of PC's, but on a day to day basis the mac users happily work along side the PC users.

We use JAMF Softwares Casper Suite to manage our Macs via policies (incl. application updates) & we're fully SOX compliant.

They can be a great asset to any environment, but if you want just the office suite a PC is the better option.

However, as day to day working becomes more media rich.. the macs are becoming more prominent.

We've very few applications that require windows only, but in those cases there's options like Citrix, CrossOver or a full VM solution that can help too.

So with little research, they can work.

I've been doing IT support for around 8 years, with integrating Macs into windows environments being a speciality.

Have a look at the following for starters:

Mac AD Intergration (Magic Triangle) (http://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=20040915152755925&query=AD%2Bintegration)

The geek in me made me do it. :)

Awesome! One of the greatest games EVER made.
