It seems the 15 inchers are the only ones effected.
No, my 12" AlBook (purchased in March this year) has a bright spot on it too. I was wondering what it might be, and now that I have seen this I am going to do something about it. It sounds very similar to what my screen has:(.
Guns dont keep a record of everything done with them though. Serial numbers are more like license plates.
When you get shot by a gun you dont see its serial number, just like if you got hit by a car you will not have seen its VIN or engine number. as these are much more like a serial number.
A numberplate/licence plate is much more comparable to the marks left on the projectile as it travels through the barrel.
...but Apple's encrypted AAC is proprietary, undocumented, and illegal under the DMCA to reverse-engineer.
I come from the land down under, where we cannot waive our consumer rights, where you are allowed to reverse engineer propriatory software for the sake of interoperability:). (for the time being anyways).
One of my friends just ordered one of these puppies, the manager of the store down here in.AU could give him price, and order it, but was not able to give specs. (WTF?!!?!) So this MUST be the one more thing, its gotta be swoit!
But really it's a non issue.. The users didn't pay for DVD-RW and now they have it anyway. Would make me happy.
I call bullshit! I own a 12" PowerBook with Superdrive, when I purchased it, the Apple web site mentioning the specs of the machine were unclear, so I asked Nextbyte (a shitty Australian chain run by wankers, who employ tossers) they said, "yup". When it arrived, I was pissed off, but not enough to send the machine back. Now with this unsupported firmware my machine does everything that I purchased it to.
This is a test from the labels on how safe their music is in the iTunes store. They will know that the only way this music will make it to the various P2P apps will be from some Apple user who buys the album, burns a CD, then rips it to MP3 to distribute.
I think you forget Europe, Australasia etal, where there is no iTunes store available, the media moguls would have only given iTunes the rights to US distribution, besides, most of the sound track will probably be available today for download of the p2p networks as well as purchase from Music stores. (you would probably have to buy several albums to get it all though).
And how is that better than spending the same ~$200 for a normal PC that absoultely SMOKES the XBox?
Presently the XBox in.AU is a hell of a lot cheaper than a base computer, admittedly you get twice the power for approx twice the price, but when most of what people want to do can be done on 300Mhz machines (which they dont want to upgrade when the OS corrupts itself or some piece of h/w dies).
Sorry those same cars that were designed in Australia, and exported to the US as a "Pontiac GTO" thanks to the US not producing muscle cars. (Aka: Holden Monaro). The two dominant manufacturers who own the vast majority of every car company is either General Motors (GMH/Holden in.AU) or Ford.
And well you get to pick the lesser of the two evils, (fords just plain suck!)
It's worth noting that the Power4 does not support AltiVec, or a couple of other things that are specific to G3/G4 processors. As such, it's unlikely(if at all possible) that Apple could use the chip.
Its worth noting that the PPC970 is not a Power4, yes it is based from the Power4 design, and it has oh, an AltiVec core tacked into it. (VMX is what IBM is calling it).
Note: It does not appear that you are replying to someone talking about a power 4 and at the time i wrote this, there are no similar responses to you)
Well... (I'm going to answer this from the POV of someone who is lazy).
Red Carpet provides a nice GUI that will enable you to install packages (and resolve the dependancies automagically). If I recall correctly as well as the Ximian packages, it was able to update/pull needed packages from your OS too. Its main differences between an apt source is that it has a nice GUI which displays a name and version number along with a tickbox [maybe a description]. Perhaps there is a nice X apt program that will allow you to browse a repository just looking, I dont know of one, i only know of the command line tools, and personally I find red-carpet brilliant when you want to install something on a local box. [note: i use apt on boxes at work and love that too, red carpet is not for everything, but for a Ximian desktop, it truly does rock!]
Touche`, I am shocked that VB is entering all my local pubs, I am more shocked in seeing people actually pay money for it. Tooheys, meh, I'm from Adelaide, what can I say, I dont buy local bottled beer, imported bottled beer when Im being a dick or doing the Earl of Leister beer challenge (www.earl.com.au). Favourites: Labbats Blue, Moosehead and Kronenbourg (french beer aparantly), Belle View Criek (spelling is fucked, its the beer that was fermented with cherries in it) is a nice one for a change.
Most Ausies and Kiwis do. It is so common nowadays that hardly anybody finds it offensive. Apart from some morons from NZ Consumer Protection something... who wanted TV ads for Holden utes, in which word was used repeatedly, banned. Ads were quite funny and quite a reflection of everyday living down here.
Fuck the number of posts I've had to correct tonight, i dont care about speeling or grammars, hehe, please people get your facts straight, the company in question was "TOYOTA" advertising the "HILUX" not the holden ute, Holden advertised a "storm" GenIII V8 ute doing circle work (doughies) in a paddock, they wanted it banned because it promoted dangerous driving.
No go have a beer and get your shit together before posting again this week!
Aim high, we build this whiz bang thing and its only No. 80 in the world. What happened to Aussies innovation. We used to be able to build these things out of old fosters cans.
I Call you out, you are not an Aussie, for fucks sake mate, no aussie will willingly drink fosters beer, let alone in cans, and those that do, well they revoked their citizenship.
Pesonally I am just as happy drinking pale ale as sparkling, the sparkling I find leaves a more potent odour in the small room at some point in the morning if you follow my drift.
Im referring to taking a dump btw for people who will think hurling, Sparkling just reacts with people down here, maybe its the weather, but bugger me!
Some toss post tried to introduce that but it did not get through. The correct answer was
What the fuck is wrong with Victoria. (hrrrm, perhaps that is too broad).
Where is the shittiest place in Australia. - Bugger people might get it confused with Tasmania.
SA still has 5 or 10%. Besides, if you get off your arse and speak to a camera operator sometime, they will happily tell you that they set the things for 10km/s above the posted speed limit. Which makes it "safe" to travel at up to 69km/h (well unless you get done by a laser cop or car follows you).
If you want to speed @ night, invest in some "Centenary of Federation -- Vouge Series" a fetching set of plates that have saved me personaly 2400AUD!
I'll tell you why, the guy who posted is a troll, a slashdot troll, who posts shit on Slashdot in the vain hope of increasing his google search rating (front page slashdot story anyone??). He honestly did not expect it to get posted, in fact I just got off the phone with the bastard, he did not tell me he had access to this beast, well he doesnt really:(, and I was thinking of converting my DVD collection (and all of video-eazy's to DivX ($12-15US/month unlimited DVD hire, max 3 per time or something like that).
Dont believe me? Ask the man yourself. Find my resume on da net and give his mobile a call!
Max props n shout outs to da peeps in dah hood and dem in da node!
I think you upset the lamp when you placed the iMac2 on the table, look, its facing away, all upset, jelous and ashamed. How could you do that to the poor thing.
sad lamp
Still, the Australian base powerbook12 is $3995. $1500+ difference.
Between when you posted this and when I checked the top end 12" is now 3500. I dont know weather to be happy or upset, I got my 12" (60G/Super) for $4071 (well paid for it in Feb, got it in March), grrr!
Mine has panicked somewhat regularly, about once a month, generally when i move my machine from work to home (on two different networks) leaving samba shares connected with Finder windows open. Maybe its just me but doing that should not cause a panic, and the ONLY panics i have had have been with smb shared connected.
The finder is a piece of poo, i hate it, its not multithreaded, if/when it goes into lala land (re: network shares usually) it would be my only beef with the system.
I *WANT* more games installable with emerge, my man. Fast, easy, convenient, works out of the box. Enjoyable. It almost makes my life worth it despite all the VB I get at work.
They make you drink VB at work, damn you poor bastard, I really hope that you can convince them to move to a better tasting beer. Honestly you have my sympathy, may I suggest that you investigate homebrewing your own beer, (hrmm, a bit like gentoo in a way...[woah, im on topic now]) it is truly pathetically easy to make better tasting beer than VB.

It is not worth it. Even with 768MB of ram, you will need to hit the disk, which will be slower than treacle flowing on a 0C day.
