I had just been hired to work at a large foundation two weeks prior to September 11. Since I was living in San Francisco at the time and the foundation was across town, I had to get up pretty early to make the two bus transfers that would get me there by 9am.
My alarm was set for 5:45am Pacific (8:45am Eastern), so I was waking up right as the first plant hit the WTC. At the time, I listened to one of those stupid morning DJ shows - "Sarah and Vinnie," and both were kind of off-the-wall almost every day. So after a song ends, Vinnie breaks in and reports that a plane just hit the WTC and makes a crack about bad piloting. A couple more songs play, and the 6am news update hits. In the meantime, I had rolled out of bed and popped on the TV to see what was happening - sure enough, there was a gaping hole in the top of the WTC on all networks.
With the 6am news droning on in the background on the radio, I turned up the volume on the TV - as I was doing so, I caught the second plane hitting the WTC live as it happened. Suddenly, from the radio I heard Vinnie (who was always kind of a numbnutz) scream "oh, *****, a second plane just hit the other tower, I just saw it on TV!" At which point both Sarah and Vinnie stopped talking for a second, and one of them said, "This is a lot more serious than it looks, that was no coincidence. I think all bets are off for today."
I got up and turned on CNN in the main room of our apartment and it really looked like all hell broke loose. I couldn't take myself away from the TV, but did call a good friend to tell him to, "wake the hell up and turn on your TV now!"
About 7:30 (when I was still in my bathrobe and should have been leaving to catch my first bus), my mother rang in on the telephone - apparently, my cousin, who was a NYC Firefighter was called from off shift to help with rescue efforts and my aunt was terrified. Got another phone call from work saying "don't come in today!" and stayed watching the tele until about 4pm.
Incidentally, my cousin couldn't be reached the entire day, so when the buildings collapsed the family feared the worst. He finally rang in sometime in the early morning Sept. 12 to say he was OK.
One of those days you remember every detail, that's for sure. Kind of like Challenger disaster when I was in 8th grade in NH and no-one knew what was going on.
[Edit]:
We'd just been in New York two years prior to 9/11. I'd recored the whole trip with my video camera. A short bit of it included the Trade Centre ... standing right at the bottom looking straight up.
I was living in NYC until Jan 1999 - went to three meetings and one government reception in the WTC buildings. The reception was at Windows on the World, the restaurant at the top of one of the towers. The views were spectacular...

I don't know specifically about the jailbreak but I'm guessing that if you go in to the Apple store for your broken home button, they will give you a different phone (refurb).
That may make this a moot question.
When the guy goes to get your new phone just say "hey man can you do me a favor? No 5K?". He'll get it. Worked for me last night. Got a nie new non-refurb phone.

Well since I was working 3rd shift during that time I had just gone to bed. When I woke up around 2PM I didn't even turn on my TV since I had to be at my second job at 3:00 that day. So as I'm on my way to work I had to go near the Buffalo airport and noticed that it was really quiet so I turned on my radio (started with a cd and never knew what happened) and heard what was going on. Total shock or more disbelief what had happened when I was sleeping. It was about half an hour later at work when I looked and all my clients had canceled that day and the next. The thing that got me was none of my family called me to let me know what was going on (just moved into my new and first house) so the whole thing was a very surreal feeling that day and night to say the least.

I was getting the oil changed in my car and was in the customer lounge when the first plane hit - and stayed to see the second one hit. I then left for work and got in an argument with my boss, who saw no reason to cancel an architecture meeting we had planned.
The meeting was cancelled - the room was being used by employees to watch CNN.

so. i have just moved all my photos into aperture and cleaned up the mess i had. now my question is. Where does aperture leave your photos? does it use reference files? or does it make copies? Is it safe to delete photo's from my main harddisc without screwing my photo organisation up?
cheers!

From your desktop can you ping 192.168.2.2 and from the laptop ping 192.168.2.1?
From the diagram and your description, the laptop doesn't have a wireless connection. So it's a bit puzzling when you say it keeps trying to use the wireless. How are you trying to copy files, using Finder? Try scp'ing using the ip addresses you gave, if the pings work.
BTW, I've got my laptop with a 192.x.x.x address for the wired connection, and a 10.x.x.x address for the wireless. It's having no problems seeing both networks.

I'm thinking it's only a matter of time before AT&T starts offering this service for out of contract iPhones.
Tuck
This has NOTHING to do with being out of contract. Please stop spreading this myth.
When you buy an iPhone you buy it WITH a two year contract. Whether you use it or other networks or not has nothing to do with ATT getting their subsidy money.

well i figured that the chances of someone using a 10 year old camera on a 2 week old computer were not high. The funny thing is i got more help at FredMiranda than I did posting on the apple discussion Aperture forums.
Hopefully Apple will let me know what is up today or tomorrow.

Yes with Game Center this has the chance at competing with 360 and PS3/steam etc and now that Unreal engine is ported to the iOS Gaming on the i Devices have no where to go but up.

Please tell me why all of your phones are on their "last legs"? Do you all have dropsy or something?
I am still using my original iPhone (pre 3G), and it works just as well as it ever did. Still has the same flaws too.
But regardless, unless I drop it in the parking lot or something, I have no reason to believe that it won't still be going a year from now.
If you are spending your money on bigger/better/faster/stronger/new features, I understand that fully.
I don't understand why large quantities of people are commenting on why their phone is about to die?
So those of us that are still using 3gS's (that are on their last leg) should prolly go ahead and get a 4, and then wait for the 6...

Everyone at Radial who I talk to is recommending the active one but there is also this passive one that I came across and was recommended by one guy at a local music store (although he seemed unsure and also said go active).
This is the passive unit: http://www.radialeng.com/re-proav1.htm
My Duet has active preamps I believe....so ya I was a tad confused as to why I would need an active DI for an electric guitar (w/ passive pickups). I'm new to shopping for a DI box could anyone explain the situations where you'd need active vs passive in a DI box? Someone told me the active one will give you a stronger signal but is this always the case?
The only way I could justify the more expensive active one is if it provides a better/quieter signal. Perhaps the J series is better electronics? ...or is it just sales rhetoric to get you to spend more dough?

Ok guys we're not talking about whether the system would be 2000 bucks (which is insane), but what you think it would be...
I'm thinking somewhre between $400~550 thats the price of my system + price for rendevous support ($100, MAYBE $150...)

Yes.
The kit includes all the cables needed to connect the disks to a 3rd party card (gets power off of the backplane board <where the disks usually plug into>, and uses a break-out cable to attach the disks data signals to the card). They make room for this via the drive mounts (fit shallower than the stock units to allow for room to plug the data ends into the drives).
cheers.
If using the 1880-ix-12 controller will the non-raid 2x SSD drives in Pass Through mode that I want to attach to the Areca controller be bootable? Does the Areca card at all allow for the system to boot off it or will any attached volumes only initialize once in the OS ?

I'm looking to buy an extra MBP battery, because one just won't cut it.
I'm in a situation where I need to use my MBP for 8 hours straight without any power outlet at my disposal.
Now I was wondering if there's an alternative way to charge an MBP internal battery, externally? Because it would be a real pain to change batteries each time I want to recharge one of them.
Or, are there any alternatives you know of to suit my needs?
Thanks in advance!

Thank you Fivepint, I needed a good laugh.
Taxes are the price you pay for the privelege of earning money. If the cost of government is X, then the revenue collected should equal X. If one party *cough* GOP *cough* cuts revenue so much that we end up with a debt that equals Y, then you must cut spending and increase revenue so that you can pay X plus some of Y to eventually eliminate the debt.
If the people who benefited the most from the cuts now have all the wealth and make all the income, they are going to have to pay a higher share of the increases in X. That's just how it is.
You can't expect the poor to pay what they don't have, and you can't kill the middle class.

Jump over to XDA and search. It's there. Not the most fully baked solution yet, but at least it's something.
Here is a list of things that do and do not work. like i said earlier, until google finds a way to update all the phones to the latest OS. Android sucks!!
With that said, a short list of things that DO work.
Radio works fully - Calling, SMS, Data
Bluetooth works for music only.
Wifi works fully.
Sensors work, but may be slow. Run /system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha in terminal or via adb, place the phone on a flat surface, and hit Enter. Reboot the phone and sensors will function at normal speed.
What does NOT work ::
GPS
Camera
HW Acceleration in UI and in video, etc.
and 4G (might never work)
If this is acceptable to you, I have a slightly used bridge for sale. You can have it for real cheap.

so will there be a new one and what will be the changes... (dual, superdrive,...)
would like to know that
once again i hate to burst your bubble but you definately won't see dual G4 powerbooks for heat reasons and definately wont see a superdrive until they change the size of the powerbook or release a slim dvd burner, both of which would take at least a few months to develop. Paris Powerbooks would steal the glory from the new top of the line powermac. apple wouldnt do that, look for new powerbooks after new powermacs actually come out.
listen folks the theory of apple releasing new computer hardware at every macworld has to end especially at the Tokyo and Paris shows. look for jaguar demos with ical and isync, and maybe another digital hub software update. maybe maybe a new LCD monitor or price drops on their LCD prices.
