I did a successful upgrade on a Mac Mini that is a few weeks old. Not a whole lot installed on it yet. I would theorize the age of the install, amount of stuff installed, and whether you have a lot of 3rd party kernel level hooks will determine how succesful you'll be on an upgrade. All in all I'm pleased. I have one more machine to get upgraded, a MacBook purchased at Christmas for my wife. I'm in no hurry to get it upgraded, but I know a Parallels uninstall will be warranted prior to attempting an upgrade. No matter what, a clone style backup is a must in my opinion.
I did an Upgrade to a PowerBook G4 that has had Tiger on since it came out. I upgraded to Tiger from Panther (got the laptop a month or two before Tiger).
I found that Finder was wedged and had the spinning ball. I could kill it in Activity Monitor, but that didn't help. Repairing the drive didn't help. Booting in to safe mode to attempt a permissions repair similarly resulted in the spinning ball.
I had performed a SuperDuper backup, so decided to go the clean install route. I only copied my user over as well as network settings. Everything is now working well and I'm doing my first Time Machine backup. The longest time was spent figuring out how to get launchd to get my Apache2 instance going for my subversion repository.
You may have found the problem for lots of BT issues! I use a V270 on my work ThinkPad T60p and it occasionally disconnets. Power cycling the mouse is sufficient to re-establish the connection. It tends to happen only after the laptop has been on for quite a while (such as an extended period at home on the dock).
I maintain that we are getting our butts kicked...and yes, even when we win the battles.
I agree with you. We can win the battles and lose the war. That is what happened in Viet Nam, and I fear that is what is happening here. Whether one is for or against the war is of no matter to me. I care about my former colleagues. Thank you for clarifying your position. I find nothing to disagree with. You are thinking critically, and not knee-jerking. That is what matters.
We are testing equipment on a battlefield, and we are getting our butts kicked.
And you know we're getting our butts kicked how? Are you just believing what the mainstream media is feeding you? Have you ever been there? Ever been in combat? Or are you just a Monday morning quarterback?
I will concede we are doing very poorly on the political front, but I have read numerous accounts of where we're making a difference militarily. Those are two separate things too. We can win militarily, but without the political will - lose the whole thing.
This administration failed the troops by not planning what to do once the initial attack succeeded (taking out the government of Iraq). What is even worse, they fired the Generals (namely Gen. Shinseki) who told them they needed in excess of 500,000 troops to secure the country. We are in the situation we are in today, because this administration thought they could fight the war on the cheap. Point your anger and disbelief at the political leaders of this country, not the military. The military is working with the hand it was dealt (a crappy one).
Last time I looked we have a First Amendment here in this country. It applies to companies as well. Questioning the governement's actions doesn't equate to dissing the country. Your comment on the new rule leads me to believe you are being tongue in cheek, but figured I'd be safer than sorry.
They could stick an Express/34 slot in and we could then use eSATA off it. I've got a CardBus eSATA card on my PBG4 so it is doing server duty as well. On my ThinkPad T60p (work machine) I have an Express/54 eSATA card hooked to a pair of drives when I'm home (for VMware and BESR).
My, my... very grown up aren't we. Do you talk to everyone like this? BTW, I disagree with your viewpoint on Joe Wilson. So, let's agree to disagree and desist with the name calling.
I'm not disputing she never has been "covert." I am disputing whether she was "covert" at the time this alleged outing occurred. And it never did occur, because she wasn't "covert" at that time. I believe that was the conclusion of Fitzgerald. But, over-zealous prosecutor he was, he needed to get a conviction to justify himself. Mr. Libby was that unfortunate individual in my opinion.
Why was his appeal bullshit? He doesn't have a right to appeal in your opinion? I suppose if you were convicted of a crime and were appealing, you wouldn't mind if I called it bullshit. I feel the investigation of a crime that wasn't a crime that led to his conviction was bullshit.
I think it has been established she didn't fit the criteria of "covert," notwithstanding what the CIA claims. I don't believe much that spews out from Langley btw.
Finally, someone lays this on Fitzgerald's doorstep. The over-zealous prosecutor is the problem here. I hope the commutation turns in to a full pardon if Mr. Libby's appeal(s) fail.
Good question. Why did it? Could it be some traitorous, treasonous, folks in the CIA who don't like the administration to do something about? Could it be an over-zealous federal prosecutor trying to justify his big salary and budget grasping at straws? I'm sorry, but no crime occurred in the first place. This whole investigation was bullshit.
How is Libby a traitor? Since when is perjury and obstruction of justice equivalent to treason? Joe Wilson is an asshole who is disloyal to his boss. Let's remember he investigated Iraq. How did someone who hates this administration so much get a job like that? Oh yeah, his wife appointed or hired or something. That's what stinks to me.
I still remain unconvinced that Libby committed any crime. His misfortune was to fall in the cross-hairs of an overzealous federal prosecutor, Mr. Fitzgerald. Luckily for the Duke lacrosse players, that over-zealous prosecutor got nailed to the wall for his lies (and I hope Mr. Nifong ultimately winds up behind bars where he belongs). Am I saying Fitzgerald lied? I don't know. I do know, I don't trust anything a prosecutor says unless they can prove it. I don't think Fitzgerald proved anything. Unfortunately, my opinion doesn't count as I wasn't on the jury that heard Mr. Libby's case.
And you can prove this how? Please. Said "agent," whether she was really still a NOC agent or not remains to be proven, was probably outed by her husband. Oh, and I'm not so sure she is entirely clean either since it is interesting how her husband got involved in investigating the Iraqis in the first place. Get off your high horse.
Let me point out. There was no "breach of national security." It has already been determined by said over-zealous federal prosecutor Fitzgerald that no crime occurred. I'm still rooting for Libby to win on appeal or get the full pardon prior to Mr. Bush leaving office.

I think I may have had Application Enhancer installed. Clean install fixed that. :-)

What airline is that? American Airlines allows the roll-aboard plus my laptop backpack.
Personally, I like the new parental control features, especially the curfew and time limits. That was one of the reasons to get the family pack.

Two words... Quality Engineering. It gets to be very expensive doing QA work on everything out there.
And let's not forget this is *off-site* storage.

Shrill and unreasonable when people disagree with you eh?

And you just believe anything the CIA tells you? And you believe nothing the administration tells you? Frankly, I believe none of them.
You can prove this how? Fitzgerald concluded no crime occurred. So. How is it she was still NOC?
