Easy, buy the 65 watt power supplies for the Macbooks. Work on the MacBook Pros, and are smaller. I keep one 85watt at home, the other at the office, and a 65watt in my backpack. It just charges slower.
I got it from them also, it was in a white box with "woot" tape on it, and appeared to be an MSI pre-release bundle of some sort. Don't know where woot got them from, but it works OK right now (waiting for my pci-express power adapter to arrive so i can fully use it).
Going to test it in a mac pro at work sometime next week, see if it boots.

I wish i was paid for it. My company does sell it (or a division of it does, I work in another part) but I was helping them do some beta testing on friday, it is really cool to see the sweat come out of your pores on your finger tip. I honestly do like the project and get excited about materials to help teach science.

I just hope they do something to make it free for school and educational use, I know a lot of science teachers who would love to integrate this into their curriculums.
*shameless plug* The scary thing is, after playing with a proscope (http://www.proscopehr.com/) the other day, I was able to actually see the capillary action in my own finger.
The hockey pucks were horrible, the wires that attached to the base from the AC side would short out (too little insulation around a point that was very flexible) and then just cheap rubber around the point that plugged into your machine.
The problem with apple's first gen designs is they are developed in secret, and no one does any field testing (heaven forbid they see the mag safe connector before its announced) and then they don't want to admit fault for a bad design, since "it worked great in development" where development took place in a closed room on the apple campus with 5 different people playing with it.
If CleanFlicks bought 30,000 copies of "The Matrix" cleaned it up, and resold it, destroying each of the original 30,000 discs in the first place, I don't know if the MPAA would have much of an argument (would be akin to guys selling modified computers or pre-bored V8 engines). But they just bought one copy of the movie, edited it, and sold it 30,000 times. That is a big difference.
To clarify: the comment about my mac experience was not in relation to the rest of the network, but specifically to issues of mac support on the campus network. I was brought on because they needed mac people, and I left because they didn't use me for what they said I was being hired for. I went to work as a multimedia lab admin under the direction of a professor / department, and was able to get the lab as setup properly as possible with what I had. In general the place was a clusterf*ck to work with and they were in the habit of putting out the same fire instead of trying to figure out why it has happening over and over again. For most people it was job security.
I don't work there anymore, and I am much happier with my current job.
That was your school. Our school had this stupid idea that it can find technically able people to manage it's computer network in a cost effective manner on shit salary.
They support every.. freaking... computer... on... campus.
3500+ students.
All the faculty.
And half the people are overworked or tied to some legacy system or platform because they bought a support contract for it that will be voided if they try to do anything else with it. I was being sent to do in dorm repairs of students machines, for a lousy $250 a month stipend.
I left the IT department to work as a lab administrator (research) for a professor, since it paid more, and I could actually get things done. They wouldn't listen to a student because I wasn't a full time staff, even thou I had more mac/video/osx experience than all of them combined.
Most movies, sans menus and additional audio tracks, unless they are SuperBit, will fit on a single layer dvd+r. Let alone we don't have any confirmation if the movie was being played in it's entirity. If i wanted to do a comparison using the same movie and keep them synced up, i would burn a single chapter from each, in its original format, burned onto the respective medium (dvd+r in one case, bluray-r or whatever in the other) and set the player to loop that chapter. On top of that, Sony's BlueRay player may have better features for a controlled playback, or sony didn't want to have full copys of the dvds out on the floor for someone to walk off with. The DVD+R might not be a problem, but im sure they would get all fussy if a drmless bluray disc of the movie walked off the show floor.
I made my university start the exact same policy. Shut down ports of the machines which were infected with klez. The problem was that students would just think their port was broken and plug into their roommates, etc. Obviously the school should have moved their MAC address into an infected pool and given them their own subnet with a webpage telling them that their machine was infected and to call tech support. But considering the somewhat large resources of people needed to get the machines back online (go and scrub the machine, most people were afraid to even touch them, and klez was a pain to remove). Not to mention the fact that people view their machines as appliances, not something needed to be maintained.
ISPs are using the blocking of outgoing smtp traffic on port 25 for this very reason. But to really shut down this problem the ISP would also have to be able to provide technical support to remove the virus, or atleast something of that nature. Let alone the customer won't even think their computer is infected (how could it be, i don't download anything!!?) and the flurry of angry phone calls would ensue.
We had users at my campus that had blocked ports for a month before we were able to get in touch with them, they just thought their computer was broken. Or we get a phone call from an angry parent whose little suzy or billy can't send them email and update their facebook.
The idea is possible, but it is a nightmare in reality to have to support.
A Dwarf blasts... quite a game technique in multiplayer
I remember the vids of of a ghoul (the slumping clever weilding guys) getting blown to smitherens, and then 20 seconds later after their clever richocetted around the map long enough, killing a zombie like character who was guarding the ball in a game, thereby allowing a single unit from the opposing side to claim it, winning the game.
Amazing physics, apparently a lot of their physics work went into Halo also, which is where the warthog videos came from (the "lets make a real world / physics model, and see what it can do approach").
From what I've seen, apple is actually moving away from "metadata in the file" to "metadata in the OS." I mean, spotlight keeps the index of everything, and apple is switching to a flat filesystem anyway. No more resource forks in their own apps (a.app is actually a folder of flat files called a package). OS X uses file extensions to determine icons first, if there is no metadata present, there are executable flags as in unix, etc.
I see spotlight as apple's attempt to get away from any one filesystem, it does the indexing and cataloging, in real time, to a seperate database.
I have been looking for ways at new password generation for system administration, and that is brilliant. Throw in some l33t speak for number / letter swaps and the suggestion you mentioned is golden.
Because you aren't paid for that hour of driving in the moring. Hence you leave your house at 8, but don't get to work (and start getting paid) until 9. Of course, your work hour stops at 5pm too. A solid 8 hours a day x5 = 40 hrs a week. Of course, then you take out time for lunch, and its down to more like 37.5 hours a week. Unless you are some large megamarts where "full time" is 34 hours, and they work everyone to 33.5 hours to make sure they are still "part time" and can't claim health insurance, etc.
I like my current job, where I get paid hourly, on a salary scale (I just auto clock in for 8 hours every day) if I work overtime, I can claim that too, just by clocking in for more hours. And i get paid for driving to and from work, since I do field service. Paid for my new car.

What about apple and Airport, built into the ibook, released in 1999. I do not believe ANYONE had a builtin 802.11b solution back then, except for apple. (there was 802.11b, just as a pc card).
In fact, the ibooks were delayed because they had yet to pass FCC testing when they were announced at MacWorld.
Or just stick it in a G5 with a PCIe black magic card and drop it on an xserve raid with 14 250 gig drives over fiber channel... A little pricey, but it looks nice. especially if you put the raid in an xtrovert vertical rack.
Plantard never said he was a descendant of Christ, just the true king of france (or something of that nature). It was Holy Blood that made that conjecture, and Plantard came out stating it was a hoax when the christ connection was made.
