"I am being forced to sell my Computer to pay rent, paid $6000 new, and have added $2000 in upgrades, I will let go for just $4000 to the first lucky person to bring cash.
Thanks to Vista, this model is very difficult to come by, it comes preloaded with over $1000 worth of software."
Have you SEEN the new MacBook Pro screens? I recently switched to a Mac - and I am still amazed at how crisp it is. It probably has something to do with the LED backlighting.
The MacBook looks really nice too - apparently the screens are different quality though.
I'm far from a Apple fanboy btw.
I beg to differ. Batteries to iPod/iPhone's are what gasoline is to a car. Gasoline powers the hardware (aka engine, powertrain) of the car, just like batteries power the circuits of the iPod/iPhone.
With your kind of thinking - nothing is really yours.
Car Analogy time. You buy a brand new porsche. You don't bitch because you can't put a Honda engine in your porsche. It was never designed to hold a Honda engine.
Apple doesn't want/didn't design the iPhone/iPod to run certain applications - and you can't hold that against them.
1. ) Boy likes girl. Girl doesn't like boy.
2. ) Boy writes love note on girl's MySpace wall.
3.) Girl, embarrassed, rejects boy in a humiliating manner.
4. ) Boy attempts suicide.
5. ) Girl charged with a federal felony.
6. ) ?????
7 . ) PROFIT!
I actually stand corrected though - because there are ONLY official Vista 32 drivers out there. And you don't seen to be the only one struggling with this laptop.... Dell has really messed up on this one. Did they have a XP pre-install option for the laptop? Or was it only a Vista or Ubuntu laptop?
Wait, stop, backup. What kind of laptop do you have? I bet you I'd be able to find drivers for your system within 5 minutes. I've reformatted laptops - old and new - and never once have I had issues finding drivers. Vista in it's early days... maybe. Not XP though.
Especially with nVIDIA - the easiest EVER drivers to find for Windows. AHCI thing... what the hell are you talking about. Never once had an issue with AHCI or had to touch it on 20-30+ computers I have reformatted.
I'm sorry - this isn't flamebait, but if you can't find drivers for Windows XP - you need to turn in your geek card. Also I apologize if I misjudged your skill level and you are still trying to learn how to do more 'advanced' things on computers. I just assume because you're on/. you have an intermediate to advanced knowledge about computers.

Year and a half? Dude, I hate to bust your bubble, but the App Store has only been out for 5-4 months. App Store
And how much easier do you think it is to write programs for the Android. It IS in fact a Linux based-os. Surely someone could have ported some decent applications over to the Android already. It isn't an under powered device!
The asians are trying to compensate for their tiny pipelines by getting big fat internet pipes. Kind of like the guys who drive hummers and pickup trucks.

YMMV but I don't even have a High School Diploma, and have a well paying job in IT as a Systems Engineer/Admin. I get to go overseas to work with an expense account that pays for most everything. If you have a good outgoing personality, and have a real interest in what you do, you will succeed. I see too many drones that have Diplomas up the ying-yang, that got into the industry because "they thought IT was a good career choice" while absolutely having no interest whatsoever.
Actually, the most well paid (well into 6 figures) buddy I have doesn't have a High School diploma. On average everyone I know that doesn't have a Uni Diploma makes MORE than the ones that do. Again, YMMV.
Replace Evans with "Ashley Grills" in my post. I was mixing the names up! Ashley was Lori's employee that got granted the immunity - who is under psychiatric care right now for sending the messages!
Oh snap, thanks for the catch. My bad. Replace Evans with "Ashley Grills" in my post. I was mixing the names up! Ashley was Lori's employee that got granted the immunity - who is under psychiatric care right now for sending the messages.
"Josh Evans" was the 'fictitious person' like you stated.

There fixed that for ya!

There, fixed that for you.
Oh and I give you your geek card back.

Wow. Thanks for the info! I would mod you up - but don't have any mod points.
Do you have any links to the Windows 8 comment? Not doubting, just would like to look into it a bit more.

If avoiding mistakes is a huge mistake, you are not making that mistake because you are making a mistake by avoiding mistakes.
Read my reply to my comment. :)
At least you caught my mistake AND knew what I meant - thank you.

See my other comment. Mixup of names on my part :P.
