X-Rays Of A TiBook's Interior

I've heard that cutting and pasting can be difficult on Linux, but that's just silly.
Repeating yourself, Hemos? Perhaps you should take a rest, eh?
Dumb subject, but seriously, two endquotes? "The actual photos are details"? Top it off with a second occurence of "The actual photos", and you get compelling evidence that Hemos has been staying up a little too late : )
Well, this is really cool, though I'm not sure I actually learned anything from the pictures. Except that it would be fun to have the use of a really good medical x-ray machine, along with a few household objects. But I already knew that. And you did, too, didn't you?

Out of curiosity, are laptop batteries always made up of a large number of linked, smaller, cylindrical batteries?

Slashdot is still censorware.
I just heard some sad news on TV, apparently Slashdot website creator, Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda, was rushed to the hospital this afternoon after having his penis sliced off. Authorities say the accident involved Rob's penis, his computer, and an illegal computer device imported from China that was designed to stimulate the penis during cyber-sex. The authorities aren't releasing many details yet as to how it happened, but they suspect that the device malfunctioned which caused his penis to be sliced off. However, there is speculation among the Slashdot community that the Open Source Operating System "Linux" is to blame, for its faulty structure and lack of professional development. There is no word of whether there was any foul-play involved from hackers amongst the Linux community.
Don't xrays wipe drives? I think I can see the hard drive in the xray - in the middle at the bottom - the CD drive is on the left, and the batteries are on the right I reckon.
Anyone know what effects XRays have on magnetic media? I always used to post floppies with a 'magnetic media, do not xray' sticker on em?
Fantastic images tho.
trhats cool looking. I have set the first image as my desktop wallpaper
I've got this girl who is a really good friend of mine, but I want more. How can I cross the boundries of friendship into a relationship?
It scares me to know that through the DMCA companies could more than likely attempt to get those pictures censored. :/

I'm new to Linux, and I was wondering-what is the best window manager/desktop environment to use? Thanks in advance.
And it's the desktop to my TiBook.
What format is that TiXray.orig picture in? (The 9.8MB one).
Hey! Didn't you read the license agreement? It says right in the on the 38927th line: "You herby will not take x-ray pictures of this computer in any shape or form, use of x-rays will cause damage to your apple computer. May void warrenty also. Please x-ray microsoft computers. IF YOU BREAK THIS AGREEMENT YOU WILL BE TOTURED FOR LIFE BY HAVING YOUR COMPUTER BE REPLACED BY AN APPLE IIE" -Steve Jobs
...are you saying I should cluck like a chicken???
Now, *that's* a great desktop pattern for a tiBook.

Holy smokes, I hope nothing they use it for is time-sensitive!

Imagine having to postpone emergency surgery because the X-Ray techs are too busy restarting their Macs after receiving those friendly "bomb" and "Error: type xx" dialogue boxes
...are you saying that I should stop running Linux???
The owner is probably between reinstalling the OS, or upgrading to OS 9.2 to fix some problem, or downgrading to OS 9.1 to fix a problem that OS 9.2 created :-/
September 1,2001-Apple Computers(APLE) have come out with a new piece of software called iXRAY, which will, X-ray your computer for bugs. We got ahold of Steve Jobs, here is what he has to say: "While creating our latest program, iMovie we where flabergasted by the error messages that said 'bug #93827239' So we have come out with iXRAY witch will find the bug for you in your computer!" UPDATE:"It seems hours after the release there have been numerous bugs in the program which actually X-RAY your brain and get all your memmorys, it seems that a program called GATOR has put a small add-on (virus?) into the iXRAY please use caution when using iXRAY
It appears this gentleman has a fetish for Nerf darts and has somehow tapped them as an energy source... Perhaps he got pointers from the Spud server?
q: who is the greatest troll ever?
a: AC, dipshit!
I was thirteen when it happened. I guess it didn't surprise me.
I've always been somebody who gets picked on. It didn't help that I
was painfully shy and lonely. It didn't help that I was an only
child and my mother wanted a daughter so much she kept telling me
"you should've been a girl." I almost was. Even though I was
thirteen, I wasn't much of a boy. I was only four nine, eighty
eight pounds, I guess. Long blonde hair, blue eyes, fair skin. I
knew a little about sex. I knew that because a neighbor one day
showed me his cock. He was gay, and he told me that he liked to
have it sucked a lot. He told me it felt good and told me all about
how it was done. He asked me if I wanted to try and I said no. I
didn't, either. He never tried to make me, but he had a few gay
friends who tried. They used to tell me how sexy I was, then they'd
corner me and try to get me to take them in. One used to say I was
pretty sexy in shorts, so I guess it's no surprise that was why I
got raped.
On the day it happened it was like any other--hot,
sticky. For summer my mother usually packed away all my pants, and
every pair of shorts I owned belonged on girls rather than me. They
were all tight and short. The pair on had on that day were navy
blue, with a red polo shirt and a pair of white canvas moccassins.
On that same day, I probably should tell you this. I met my rapist
before he got me. He saw me walking down the road and offered me a
ride. He was pretty scuzzy looking, nearly bald but not that old. I
refused. He asked where I was going and I told him.
It was an old factory near my house that's been abandoned since the '60's. I like
to hang out there because nobody bothered me. He left me alone
then. I got there and just started to roam around, because that's
what I did. And think. There's a lot of old crates and stuff, but
I've never opened any. I went down to the basement floor to see if
there was anything interesting. I didn't even see the man there
when I came down the steps. Suddenly this hand was over my mouth,
real tight. I struggled but he lifted me and carried me back up.
"Now I'm going to take my hand off your mouth. Keep it shut!", he
warned me. I didn't scream. I stood still and felt him take my
hands and put them together behind me. I felt him tie them
together. He pushed up against me. I could feel the thick bulge of
his cock against his jeans, pressed against my bound hands. He must
have wanted that, because he told me to rub it. I did. At the same
time, he was pulling a cloth into my mouth and tying it behind my
head. He grabbed my ass. "Nice", he told me. "I like the way those
shorts show it off. Nice ass." He rubbed himself against my ass. I
knew he was going to put it in there.
He turned me around and sat
me down on the crate. He was grinning. Kind of sick. I was pretty
scared. He unzipped his pants and pulled out his cock. It was huge.
Thick. He stroked it and smiled at me. "All for you", he said. He
turned me over and put me face down on the crate. Pulled down my
shorts and underwear. I started to cry. I felt him messing around
back there, felt him put something cool in my crack. I tensed when
I felt his head pushing up against my rosebud. He kept pushing and
laughing, and I cried harder, but he was in me now, all thick and
hard. It hurt, but it got me hard. He did me fast, then slow,
laughing and holding me down. He filled me with that huge cock. I
had to lean against the crate because I felt faint from it all.
Then he filled me with cum and pulled out. I was afraid he was
going to put it in my mouth now, but he didn't.
He yanked my shorts
up and told me we were going for a ride. Outside he had a car. He
put me in the back seat and made me lie down while he tied my feet.
I was crying really hard now, and he told me I hadn't seen anything
yet. He touched my legs and ass and told me I was going to like
this. It felt like a long time after that before he stopped and
left me in the car. I struggled, but he was good with knots and I
wasn't going to get free. When he came back and opened the door,
untying my feet, I saw he was wearing different clothes: a t-shirt
and a pair of baggy shorts. We were in a yard with a high hedge and
there was a house. He took me inside into a bedroom and made me lay
on the bed. He took some pictures of me and told me he'd always
liked young boys, and I was perfect. He felt my legs again and
rubbed my hard prick. Then he got up on me so he was sitting on my
chest and took out my gag. He told me to shut up, then he pulled
down his shorts.
He told me to open my mouth. My heart was
pounding, because I thought he would put it in. He didn't. He
stroked it and jacked off into my mouth and told me not to swallow.
His cum was salty and bitter and smelled like chlorine. He kissed
me on the mouth and used his tongue in there. He gagged me again
and told me he'd be back.
When he came back, he told me how hot I
got him when he saw me on the road. He really noticed my legs and
ass, he said, and now he was going to get what he wanted. I was
going to give it to him, I thought, and I hoped he'd let me go. He
got me off the bed and put me on my knees. He undressed. He asked
me if I liked what I saw, and I nodded. I didn't. He told me he
didn't like liars, and that if he thought I was lying, he would
hurt me. He asked me again if I liked what I saw. I shook my head.
He told me I was a good boy for telling the truth. He took out my
gag. He put the head of his prick in my mouth and told me to suck
him. I sucked a little at the head. It was thick and warm. It
tasted like soap and felt funny. He pushed it in more until I
started to choke. I felt it jumping and pulsing. He started to
moan. "Oh yeah, kid, good, good", he told me. "Suck my big dick.
Suck it. You know you want it." I sucked harder. I wanted him to
come and get it over with. His cock started to get thicker, and
then he was shooting it in me. I choked and swallowed down. His cum
was bitter and left a bad taste. I sucked until he pushed me away.
"I've had better", he told me, and he put the gag back and threw me
on the bed. I was afraid now, because he left the room.
When he
came back, he had his jeans on again. He pulled me off the bed and
took me out to the car. He took out my gag and tell him my name and
age, where I lived, my phone number and everything. He took more
pictures, then he told me he'd show them to everybody I knew, and
he'd get me if I told. Then he put me in the car and took me back
to where he'd got me. He untied me and told me to count to a
thousand before I left. I did. I didn't see him after that day, and
I was glad. He did call a few times, and made me talk dirty to him.
But that was all.
I don't know about you.... but I have to place a big lead sheet over my body when I get an xray. This guy might need to rebuild his desktop file or something ;).
"Things are more moderner than before- bigger, and yet smaller- it's computers-- San Dimas High School football RULES!"
Wouldn't the X-Rays damage some parts of the computer such as the hard drives, batteries, etc. etc.? I'd like to know if this computer was still usable without any odd problems after this X-Ray was taken.
void women (int money, time_t time);
I feel bad for whoever's TiBook this is... he didn't get the AirPort card! that means he has to actually leave the internet behind when he goes to the can!
(I just got my TiBook, and the airport range is less than spectacular anyway... sigh.)

What are the 4 circles on the bottom right?
Kinda cool, see the firewire and usb ports, and the dual speakers. Even the 802.11b antenna. The battery doesnt look very hi-tech. lol
Could the X-raying of electronics be a violation of DMCA? Seems like there might be a lot of copyrighted work in there, right down to the patterning of PCBs. And an X-Ray machine certainly could be used to circumvent a factory sealed case... Should have gone to L-school
Yes, see that shadow spot in the top left? Yes, it looks serious. Looks like a mycrosoftius tumor. Probably malignant. We'll have have to remove several ASICs, the hard drive, and a few capacitors. You may even have to subscribe to Office XP. It doesn't look good. Please tell your family and have your credit card limit increased.
"Welcome to APPLE COMPUTER customer service, how may I help you on this beutiful day? My name is Mike" "Ahhh, yes I seemed to accidently X-Ray my brand new Powerbook G4 to get slashdotted but all my files seemed to get erased! What should I do?" *customer service guy faints* "Hello?" "......" "HELLO?!"
I just know that one day some sick bastard will bring his ti-book to an x-ray technician who'll be started to find a gerbil shoved up his PCMCIA slot.
While you may feel concerned about kikes for various reasons, there is an even bigger threat lurking: Trolls.
No, I'm not talking about the sort of troll who surfs slashdot posting useless comments; I'm talking about the sort of troll who lives under bridges and jumps up and eats you when you try to pass
We should not rest until it is safe for our children and our children's children to again cross bridges without the fear of being eaten!!!
God bless you, and many thanks!
That thing runs off 8 AA batteries!
This type of disgusting trash doesn't belong on the Internet, much less on slashdot. Now I've seen gaping assholes and blatant racism and anti-semitism but this type of thing just crosses the line. The exploitation of children is not something that slashdot should be promoting. And by keeping this sort of filth on their servers they are promoting it. I've reported this post to the administrators of Slashdot, and I hope they take immediate action to bring a stop to this filth and whoever is purpatrating it.
I noticed many people mentioning the fact that this pic makes a great desktop image. I'm just curious: How many of us have even seen our desktops lately. I almost always have at least one if not more windows maximized. The most I see of my background image is when it flashes by when I flip to a new virtual desktop.
Where is this ascii you say????

I once had to obtain a new battery for P75 laptop and that battery could not be had from anywhere. However, the cells were in Batteries Plus' catalog and they were able to rebuild the battery for me.
I used to work as a technician for a firm that rented environmental instrumentation and we recelled batteries all of the time. It is a common practice for more than just laptops.
It's just a fucking computer, don't 'tard out over it.
How'd they get that in somebody's mouth to take the picture?
light is light...X-rays are X-rays. they're both electromagnetic radiation.
My cat's breath smells like cat food.--R. Wiggums
alright well if you want to call me the moron, at least get it right yourself. Technically "Light" is infrared, ultraviolet, or visble. My point is that x-rays are no more harmful than visble light. If we could "see" x-rays we would call it light as well. Fundementally radio waves, x-rays, and visable light are all the same thing anyway. Which is the only thing you got right.

Oh, so that's where the AirPort card slot is in these.
For the humor impaired--yes, I do know where the AirPort card goes. I do believe that the TiBook Engineering team's meeting with Steve Jobs went something like this, however:
Jobs: Wow! That's thin, and sexy! We're going to sell a billion of these! Raises and stock options for everyone! By the way, how do you put the AirPort card in?
TiBook Team: Um, AirPort card?
Jobs: AirPort--and it's Absolutely Vital that the home user be able to install this card by themselves, without fucking anything up--as simple to install as RAM. You've got that in there, right? Otherwise, you're going to be shitting Titanium bricks really soon...
Titanium Team [palming screwdriver]: Oh, right! AirPort! Hahaha, we were just fooling. Of course we have that built in! Too bad we didn't bring a screwdriver to this meeting, we'll show you how to put an AirPort card in at the next meeting! You don't really need two PCMCIA slots, right?

While I browse the web just as much as the next person, I spend a lot of my time using typing at the command line terminal. Specifically, I use aterm, which I set to be translucent (a randomly chosen hue). Images like that x-ray which are monochromatic look especially cool tinted, and because it's fairly dark, white text will look good superimposed on top. In fact, I just added it now. Thanx, Guy, you're one cool d00d!

"There is more worth loving than we have strength to love." - Brian Jay Stanley
... is excellent if you don't run any applications or measure your uptime in nanoseconds. I've used six through ten.... the systems I've had the MOST problems with were 8.1 on an 8600 and 9.0.4 on an iMac. The most annoying- which doesn't count due to the fact that I'm payed by the hour to hassle with it- is a G3/Media 100 with 8.6.
:P ]
I had one of those HP Lovecraft moments a few months ago- I began to seriously question my sanity when I realized that the only Mac at work that hadn't been rebooted in over a month was..... my workstation. The one that was used every day, all day- a G4/733 with OS 9.1. The only time it's blown up in the last month was when I attempted to connect a bad firewire drive to it.
For UNIX, that's a fart in a hurricaine. For Windows, it's next to impossible (my boss runs Win2k and reboots at least twice before lunch, the sysadmin for the building cycles his every week or two).... and for the Macintosh OS, I'd thought it propability zero.
Wish I could get that level of uptime on my damned 9500 [G3/333, 196 RAM, Lucent USB, no-name Ethernet, Adaptec SCSI, Infinity and ATI video cards, Sonnet IDE card w/ an IBM and Fujitsu drive.... every piece of gear in the beast is made by a different manufacturer. Wouldn't stay up for more than ten minutes until I put OS X on it.
Did you see the shadowing around HD?? Maybe a virus or something.... Any recent installs of GPL software?
...I was stopped at JFK airport because they couldn't figure out what I was carrying. They could only see two almost empty boxes except for a very dark area on the X-Ray machine, and some wires coming out of it. They probably thought "someone set up us the bomb" (TM), but it actually was a pair of Labtec computer speakers. Very fine speakers, I use them since 95 without problems. But It really got me confused to explain to them what I was carrying. (english is not my native language). I also had a HD with me, but at my pocket not my backpack, so it didn 't go through the monitor, only the metal detector. Not any problem with it also, I still use it.
It's the same (size/res) as the PICT file. Pretty damn exciting.
Your mouth is like Columbus Day.

It's AAPL not APLE. Don't ask me why, as APLE isn't taken, but AAPL is the symbol they are traded under.
The properties of EM radation change drastically over the spectrum. For example, visible light is easily blocked by little solid matter, even a 1mm sheet of aluminum is enough to block all but the most intense lights. On the onther hand, radio waves will go right through. That's why you can pick up TV signals in a room, even if little outside light is getting in. Don't assume that the properties of one frequency range of EM radation necessairly apply to another.

Yup.
Lithium-ion ones.
Time for laptop manufacturers to standardise the setup so if your Li-ion batteries go you can just swap them out for Nicads or (shock) even one-shot alkaline batteries for emergencies.
At least one digital cordless phone has Nicad AA batteries inside.
It works for portable radios (so much nicer and smaller than a Walkman) so why not in a laptop?
But I wouldn't want to live down in the southwest corner near all those storage tanks. I bet there are some nasty chemicals down there.
Isn't aerial photography wonderful?
Oh wait, you're saying that's a laptop?
Hey!
I resized the x-ray to 1152x768, flipped it vertically, and played with colorization. Good wallpaper fo a TiBook. The gold one is my favorite:
