I' love to "get back to the mac" but I cant. You wont make a mac pro that is affordable in any way so I had to abandon the Mac platform and go back to the PC platform like many MANY businesses have.
I would love to stick with Final Cut and the mac platform... but I am able to buy 2X the machine for 1/2 the money AND have enough left over to buy new video camera gear. for the price of ONE Mac Pro quad core that can do AVCHD editing smoothly.
I loved editing on the mac platform, but they made the mac pro platform way too expensive.
Out of 150 online accounts only 5 of mine matter. So those 5 have their own secure passwords. All the rest have a really easy to remember password that honestly has not changed for 10 years now. It's 12 characters in length and very easy for me to remember and type.
it's utterly foolish to do fort knox level passwords on your icanhazcheezburger.com account.
And hybrids are nothing but hype. I get 44mpg in my 2006 Honda Civic on a regular basis by simply driving sane. NOT hypermiling, but driving like a normal person should be. The Civic Hybrid get's only 2-4 mpg more than my car does for a nearly $10,000 premium in price and about the same in TCO. At $4.00 a gallon that equates to 5000 gallons of gas I have to burn to make up the difference in cost. Plus, the civic is eLEV already so it's "save the planet" rating is as high as any of the hybrids are already. and that is only if you plug your ears and ignore the fact that the battery pack in your hybrid did more to destroy the planet than driving a SUV in 1st gear only for the first 4 years. The heavy metals and nasty chemicals in those packs, and the manufacture process is incredibly toxic, and produced in countries where eco laws do not strictly force them to keep the containment of the nasty chemicals out of the environment.
If I had Hybrid money I'd be buying a more expensive car that is worth the money spent. BMW 328i NEW costs less than the joke that is the Chevy Volt.
I'd rather drive the BMW and have a well built car with some creature comforts than the crappy built chevy that has GM's tracker record of making engineering blunders and premature failures.
Plus the BMW new, I pay NO maintenance costs for 3 years. Oil changes, everything are 100% free. Chevy you have to add the price of those into it's cost. (Not a BMW fan, that's why I drive a civic. I pulled this info from their websites.)
Honestly, I see only those trying to look eco-trendy buying hybrids. You do not save any money, you really don't save the planet, why get a econo class car for a luxury class price?
It 'seems lately that lots of HAD articles are popping up automatically on slashdot. If you watch the RSS feeds out there of the tech sites you can watch the wave of stories copy from site to site.. It used to be that slashdot had them first or did not cover what was already copied all over the place...
Has slashdot ran out of good submissions and is not simply posting what pops up out of other sites RSS feeds?
Satellite is not really broadband. Anyone who has had to live with it for more than a day will agree to this.
Most of the united states has 0 to 1 choices for broadband, large swaths of this country has ZERO broadband accessibility. By geographical square meters, most of the USA has no connectivity other than Dial up or Satellite.
Based on population, it's still dismal. I know people in NYC that cant get broadband. CableTV Broadband wont work, and DSL wont work as the building has wires from 1907, or were half assed and can not carry what is needed. They can watch low channel cable TV, but the RG59 30% shield garbage installed by the lowest bidder in the late 80's just wont cut it. And the phone wires are as bad or worse.
That's the problem in the United states... Companies whine about letting competition use "their" wires, while ignoring the fact that they took Public money to build those wires. Corporations here like to believe that any public funds for telecommunications are a free gift to their shareholders.
Step 1 : remove it and right away give it to your lawyer. There is one thing that pisses off FBI guys because they cant do crap to you... give their gear to a lawyer.
In the USA, if you dont instantly take steps to protect yourself you will be screwed by the cops. Innocent or not, it does not matter to the police.
Honestly have you not paid attention to what has been happening here?
Your laptop needs to be empty, sanitized, clean. put all important stuff on a memory device you can smuggle in on your person or in a different way (memory card in a camera get's past our idiot guards)... Treat coming here like entering North Korea.
Most people have known this for years that entering the United states is identical to entering a fascist dictatorship country.
Yup, what kind of moron would do industrial espionage for $3000.00??
My price starts at $3,200,000 deposited into my SwissBank account 438-342-675487-317 Then email me at Splagith457@sogetthis.com the URL of the flikr image you embedded your requirements inside of using basic stenography. encrypt the text with a simple Xor using the HTML source code for the google front page for today.
and it's not YOUR car until you pay off the loan, they hold the title by placing a Lein on it.
It's THEIR car until you pay it off.
Same as "your" phone. It's THEIRS until you pay it off by finishing your contract. Problem is phone companies can tell you to stuff it when the contract is over and you ask for the phone to be unlocked. There are laws that keep banks from doing that to your car.
Honestly you do not deserve to make 6 figures as a programmer.
Also what idiot keeps his software company in California? Move to Iowa and cut all operation costs by 2/3 and suddenly the programmers that make $65,000 can live like kings compared to making $100,000 in California.
With the way the job market is and will be for the next 5 years, you can get your talent to move to you if you have jobs.
Actually, current safety gear for a motorcycle, if worn by the driver can walk away with only minor bruises from a 100mph crash. Unfortunately most Motorcycle riders are too stupid to buy and use said gear. I get a kick out of the complete morons riding their crotch rocket in flip flops, shorts and a t-shirt... They advertise to the world "I AM A COMPLETE IDIOT" even a 1 Gram insect at highway speeds will knock the wind out of you and leave a bruise the size of a tennisball.
Disclaimer: I Ride, I ride a LOT, I'm just not stupid and ride without safety gear. It's a choice I make. and I support the choice of the idiots that choose not to, IT means I get to buy their bike for parts from their next of kin for almost nothing.

Sounds like you know nothing about doing business.
Spend $10,000 to upgrade the editing machine...
Or Spend $10,000 to upgrade editing machine, buy new software, pay for training AND buy a new HD Pro Video camera...
Now I have more tools for my business instead of only one tool.
It's a no brainer. Apple priced their stuff out of even business reach.
Finally it's not that much more productive. With clients wanting BluRay's Apple adds a step that blows up your workflow.
Only sony has a editor -> bluray workflow. I hate getting in bed with the devil, but I have to make money.

a small missle or grenade launcher with a bottle of water in it...
What? a standard bottle of water in the chest at 300 miles an hour wont hurt too bad.
"all your base belong to us...... beep....."
Honestly, that would be funny as hell if that was what was played on the units as they patrolled...
A superman that takes money and things from the rich and give to the poor.
he is a hero in the poor people's eyes...
he is the ultimate villain in the rich eyes...
Flip the sides... A superhero that fights against all the homosexuals and other undesirables...
The radical Christan right holds them up as heroes....
So what is the definition of hero and villain? From my point of view, the definition is pretty darn vague..

Let;s see that VM run a nice complex render from motion...
VM's are great for playing, they stink for high horsepower and Graphics work.
I would rather that Pioneer simply make Car stereos and nav units that did not SUCK.
Honestly their UI is horrible at best. How people tolerate the half assed user interface of aftermarket car stereos I'll never understand.
you can for sure win a patent war.
You just use weapons the other size will not expect.
If the entire other side ended up in a horrible accident, you suddenly win.
Just saying.... I have a hundred "associates" just sitting around waiting to do something.... Am I making my self clear? capisce?
I would hate for an unfortunate circumstance to happen, causing something to happen... Right Vito?

Sounds like you need to find friends that are less shallow.
If someone loses their mind over you un-friending them on facebook, they have a major mental problem.
Life is too short to have friends that are nuts.

You do see cops wearing it. All over europe and in California Cops on bikes wear armor.
T mobile gives you a $20.00 a month discount for using your own phone. that's $480 over the life of a contract.
Yes they do.
and it's not YOUR car until you pay off the loan, they hold the title by placing a Lein on it.
It's THEIR car until you pay it off.
Same as "your" phone. It's THEIRS until you pay it off by finishing your contract. Problem is phone companies can tell you to stuff it when the contract is over and you ask for the phone to be unlocked. There are laws that keep banks from doing that to your car.
4 year old game, the first zelda release for the Wii... is STILL $50.00
many game makers are refusing to drop prices on their games even years after release.
Their own fault.
Honestly you do not deserve to make 6 figures as a programmer.

The reason Brits dont make Home computers is that they cant figure out how to make them leak oil.
And YES I have owned 3 british cars and to british bikes... I have experienced British engineering first hand.
Are you Insane??
Require them to wear life saving gear??!?!

Consumers are not interested in doing real work, they want to watc TV on the PC.
so we get the craptastic monitors that have useless resolutions... Like 1366X768 WTF is that...
EXACTLY.
Only whiney bitches complain because their locked and subsidized phone does things to keep them out.
If you could actually AFFORD the phone you buy a unlocked one.. Google tried to sell you one, none of you cheap bastards bought one.
If you buy a G2 or a Droid or anything from a phone carrier all locked up, you deserve what you get.
