Over the years I've been subjected to less and less personal data attacks to the point where I can't remember the last time I got a virus. Back in the day I used to be constantly battling with them.
Agreed, Gnome 2 was quick enough and lots of configuration options to keep the hackers that don't like TWM's / fluxbox happy.
Unity / Gnome 3 are horrible, a big step back to vista-land.
Hello from New Zealand.
As of a recent law change here, the account holder is the person fully responsable for all traffic on the connection.
My girlfriend's name is on the telco accout here and she would be fined a substantial amount of money and risk going to jail (eventually) if I or any of the other flatmates were to download from P2P.
I run a pfsense firewall / router and have blocked all P2P traffic, we all use downloadnow (multi access to rapidshare, hotfile, megashares etc...) which you cannot be fined for using and is much harder to track you unless you are already been monitored.
This may not be the case elseware, but I'd say it's not worth the risk.
OP Here, I do agree with the above.
It's important it gets recognition, Apple should have responded (or even answered their phones!) immediately to the issue.
It is a shame to see such a huge problem out in the wild after spending so much on a product that 'passed' testing.
It's a right pain in the neck for those of us who purchased the new MBP to convert video etc... and it's the one thing we can't do (reliably)!
OP here...
I'm pro-Apple but definitely not a blind fanboy.
Worst part of me is that I live in New Zealand and Apple refuse to answer their phones on Sundays no matter how many thousand you spend on their products...
That's no true so don't spread uninformed rubbish.
There are a pile of people having the problem who have never installed istat pro or any other fan controller.
Unfortunately it overshadows a real problem. I felt crippling anxiety in school for 10 years (dropped out when I was old enough) and it was a waste of a good childhood. There are real reasons kids can feel this way. It doesn't have to be excuses, even if that was the easy thing to blame my problems on.
Of course WiFi didn't exist back then so it wasn't that, but I can understand how kids would feel awful at school and fine at home.
School can be a very uncomfortable place to be in, and an almost impossible place to learn in.

I second this.
I truly wish there was an 'alternative school' option in my area.
The curriculum and teaching practices are so out-of-date and out-of-touch with modern society it's no wonder kids are bored and their bodies / minds are telling them they don't want to be there.
I'd rather stir things up and get in trouble while doing my bit to make things better.
I will NOT promote something I do not believe is the right decision however, I'm not going to walk round bad-mouthing management to customers, as you said that would be unprofessional.
However, when people ask me what I think of certain software I should feel free to express my opinion, this of course would be a problem if I say for example... worked for Microsoft or a Microsoft shop in which case I would just keep quiet and keep my opinions out of it, but as I said, I'm working for the taxpayer.
Actually removing the old profiles and files DOES make a huge difference to getting the most out of old hard drives, less distance for the head to travel over fragmented un-used data.

What a waste of screen real estate!

Honestly, Does anyone care about AmigaOS anymore? Hardly front page news worthy
Just saying...

Couldn't agree more Anon, Looking at the Apple forums now, it appears its almost everyone with a 2011 15'' or 17'' model.
A blog has been setup to help people with the problem and to track the issue: http://mbp-freeze.wikispaces.com/
Not true, standard fresh install on my 2011 MBP 2.2 15'' has this issue.
From the people I've spoken with online it seems that (very roughly) around 70-80% of people with the new 15'' or 17'' MacBook Pros are affected.
It's not caused by 3rd party software. Happens on a clean, fresh build.
smcfancontrol is not the problem. :/

No, you can do the research if you care. I'm not anti-apple hence why I own a Macbook Pro you insensitive clod.
including myself by the way..

I got in just in time on my iPhone... Hope it will transfer to my iPad when I get home!
