Perhaps you should start posting your own comments in a private Word Document...at least theyd be valued by one person.

Should have never upped from 4.0. Safari and youtube are plagued with issues. Safari in fact rarely opens links on new page anymore.
Surprised on how buggy it is.

I wanted to be bad, I would point out that VW seems to be betting a lot money that what Americans want in a car is bigger and cheaper (in both senses of the word)...
But that might be considered baiting an easy target.... :rolleyes:

I hope this means we will see HDMI out on the next MacBook Pros. I really want to be able to use my soon-to-be-had MacBook Pro Core2Duo as a media center too. With that said, here's to hoping the new MBPs have HDMI and the ability to output Dolby PLII and at least 1080i. My current 1.25ghz G4 book chokes on 720p so I never hook it up to my plasma HDTV.

This is my first post. It takes a lot for me to stop being a lurker, but the idea that any user can resize a textarea on a site I design, dynamically redrawing the page, is among the dumbest ideas I've ever heard. This will break valid page layouts in new and unheard of ways. Designers make form elements a size and shape for a reason.
Web designers will just have to become more sophisticated. They will have to learn to work with relative units. For example a button size should be specified as "m times the lenght of this string in the current user specified font" and a image size rather then being fixed might be "80% in the frames width as set by the user
We should get back to the way HTML markup is envisioned. The author tags the test by functions like "title" or "larger" and the browser descides how to display it

Is this possible?
I have a Pink Floyd DVD of a concert. Is it possible to rip the music from the DVD and put it on a blank CD for listening to the soundtrack?
Thanks.:)

Not at all - it's a well-established truism that Americans prefer sedans over hatchbacks and wagons, they prefer large, torquey engines (usually V6 or V8), and they prefer lots of car for cheap as opposed to a smaller, higher-quality car.
Though cars are being kept longer these days than in the past, Americans tend to dispose of their cars at a greater rate than, say, in Europe. So it makes sense that cheaper build quality is more viable when the car is not expected to last forever.
Will be interesting to see if VW survives the Americanization of their car line. One of the tings I saw last year was that they are going to make their new cars feel more like what Americans are used to driving. And that is a shame - since one of the few joys I had with my POC '99 New Beetle was how fun it was to drive. So much for fahrvergn�gen - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrvergn�gen

I'm making a Disk Image using DVD Imager so what is the next step? Can you make it very simple for me cos I'm a bit of a brain-donor-thanks!:D
PS DVD Imager seems to be taking an awful long time, what's the average time for a half-meg video file?

I emailed firmtek and asked them what firmware would best suit you.
Their reply:
"Dear Jeff,
When using two FirmTek cards in the same computer, both cards need to have the same
firmware version. In this case, both cards should have 513 installed on them."
I am thinking that the issue could be that they have different firmware. Once you get it starting install the cards one at a time and change the firmware to 5.1.3 if not already that. I am guessing they both have 5.3 on them which is newer but more unstable.
5.1.3 for the 2 port card (http://www.firmtek.com/download/SeriTek1S2_513.zip) and 5.1.3 for the 4 port (http://www.firmtek.com/download/SeriTek1V4_5.3.1.zip)

You know, there is a quite horrific problem here. Now that e is a mod, he can't hijack threads, and do drive-by macro postings!
We can't have fun anymore! Didn't you just love hijacking threads, and turning them into competitions of who can put e and K into a funny pic in e's backyard?
They days of old are gone. e is still here, but his old personality is gone. No murdured. Murdured by his moderatorship. It just won't be the same anymore.
The golden days of macrumors are over. But soon... a new idol will rise up, and the people in the fields will know that this is there time. We will throw off the shackles, and bring those who were once one of us, and turned away, back to our side! WE WILL BRING EM BACK ALIVE!

Bill Maher New Rule: Not Everything in America Has to Make a Profit (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bill-maher/new-rule-not-everything-i_b_244050.html) 23July09
Just how exaggerated is the following?:
Wow. That article pretty much sums up the way I see it all. Great read.
My problem with it isn't that businesses and people are in it for a profit (well, in certain areas). Hey, you got to make something. It's that the only thing that matters is the highest profit possible, at all costs.
If a company has made a profit of $15,000,000, but they were wanting $16,000,000 based on nothing more than their accountant's predictions, they won't settle for that $15m. They will lay off people, make others work longer, and cut salaries and benefits to achieve their "goal". It's no longer about making money...it's about making excessive money for the upper management and pleasing shareholders.
You see it in the stock market all the time. A company announces that it's profits will fall short of some astronomical assumed figure, and shareholders start selling off the stock because large profits are worse than huge profits.
While this isn't in the private market, and I'm sure someone (we know who) will find a way to say this is OK, it reminds me of a recent story I read. I think it was Texas Tech or something required all of their faculty to take a pay freeze, yet gave the football coach a half-million dollar a year raise. Not $50k, not $100k...$500k a year added to his already $1.5m a year salary. All while telling teachers there was not enough money to do anything for them. And it wasn't a contracted raise, if I recall, it was a "promise". The very fact that the coach would take that says enough to me. That's pretty sick.

Also just FYI, keep in mind the power consumption.
"The original PS3 model will use about 200 Watts while running Folding@home. A later model PS3 (with a 40 GB hard drive) will use about 115 Watts."
So, either 1 or 2 big light bulbs if you wanna look at it that way.
Well im at school so it would be using there power :) Do these tasks kinda lock the PS3 down for a specific amount of time or what?

I think Pros on Final Cut have every right to be worried. While indications are that the pro apps are perfectly profitable it just seems Apple can't be arsed with it all when you can just slap some clever electronics inside a little box, let the sheep lap it up and make a mint.
When Final Cut DID start marching into the fringes of the high end a few years back and Apple started buying and including things like Motion and Shake it did seem like they wanted to own that space. Now? I'm not so sure. Maybe they'll merge Final Cut and Final Cut Express and politely ask pro users to migrate over to Media Composer 5 - perhaps they'll sell it in the Apple store or Mac App store.
Logic, too, looked like ProTools was being increasingly targeted a couple of years back but, again, Apple will probably think keeping the old Emagic AKA Logic operation going as a bit of an anomaly.
Aperture, well, that doesn't really have much of a point with Lightroom around, good though it is.
I just don't think Apple want to be an Adobe or Microsoft anymore, otherwise they would set up a proper semi-independent software division a la Filemaker for the pro apps and give it the resources to grow.
It's all a bit ironic as there's a lot of corporate backing now for iPad and iPhone, which Apple are happy to meet, but they seem to have giving the bird to professionals that kept them going in the lean mid-90s era and more recent converts who thought going Apple meant they were buying into emerging industry standards.

I realize that you didn't question the legality but another poster (that I originally quoted) did. I am aware that the buyer will not be required to pay, and he shouldn't be. I just can't stand people that automatically declare something illegal because they think it is wrong. It seems to be a common practice these days.

Has anyone used Echofon Pro and Tweetie? I'm curious if its worth to buy and try out...
I was using Echofon Pro, but after trying Tweetie 2 I've decided to switch. I can't say that Tweetie 2 is everything Echofon is and more, but it is definitely a net gain, in my opinion.

What interface/app are you using to watch video and from what streaming source?
From what you explain I would guess you are running h.264 streams that may be beyond your Macs capability. My single 1.8 7448 G4 would easily outperform your dual 867 and I can't go above 480p h.264.
For the best video playback experience on your hardware I would restrict it to 480p and lower h.264 and DivX/XviD up to 720p. It's also all about the player you use. On PowerPC chips Quicktime generally uses up to double the CPU vs. VLC or Mplayer.
Give me specifics about codec and apps used and I can help you solve this issue no matter what video card you have.
I was going to dispute you and say old dual 500mhz cube cube play 720p files with the stock Geoforce card but I remembered that was running the multi-thread variant of MPlayer. That might work for you.

Without a reciept or without a reciept from an authorized dealer, Apple would still have to provide warranty service from the manufacture date.
Doubtful since their warranty does not transfer to a second hand buyer. If I were to buy an iPod and then sell it on ebay a few weeks later the new owner would not be covered.
