You should have been able to get the machine booted by holding down the option key when powering it up. This performs a search for any attached volumes that the machine can be booted from and then displays a selection screen. Not that it matters anymore... : )
From my understanding, it's because the EFI modules are loaded on the HD. It sounds like there's a small EFI/boot partition on the disk. Mucking around in there renders the machine unbootable. Reformatting/reinstalling would reset this partition back to it's proper state. Note that this is all conjecture - I don't have one of these to play with, nor do I particularly know what I'm talking about.
Gotta agree that YOU are the only one who's going to classify genres the way you want them. I used to either ignore or strip out genre info from mp3s because I found it generally useless [most of my stuff was tagged rock, rock/pop, indie, indierock, indiepop, etc]. Since I got my iPod, however, I went back through my entire collection and tagged things by the general record store categories [rock, jazz, classical, country, electronic]. This makes it a lot easier to browse/sort stuff depending on what I'm in the mood for. If you DJ or something you may want to tag tracks by BPM or something. It all depends on your own habits and needs.
IIRC, it's put the gown on the hook and put the towel on the grate under the gown. The rest is correct. Just didn't want you to wonder why the AQ kept flying through the hole in the wall under the hook. : p
Go look at Google News and find all the related stories under one header and you'll find 1000 stories, all the same. Same words and sometimes attributed to a wireservice report.
The difference here is that this is the entire purpose of the wireservice reports. By signing up and licensing the wireservice feed, the smaller papers are given the right to print those reports, so long as they are properly attributed. You really don't think the Boise Daily Spud is going to have a reporter sitting in the UN, do you?
I hate Google simply because they are evil. I mean, you wouldn't have to sit there trying to convince the world you weren't if you truly weren't, right? That said, the BBC should post this documentary to Google Video to get the maximum number of eyeballs.
As someone mentioned in the previous story, one of Jobs' biggest heroes is Walt Disney. Also, Jobs isn't the sort of person to take a back seat. He will make his voice heard there (and maybe get himself kicked out of another company while he's at it). However, as many here agree, he and Lasseter will most likely have a pretty big impact on the future directions of Disney. Either way, with Eisner gone, things can only improve there...
Keep in mind that the Disney empire also includes ABC, ESPN, the go.com network, as well as a bunch of movie studio (Touchstone, Miramax, Dimension) and record company imprints. Several of these operate somewhat autonomously, but Jobs will have some say in things as the single largest shareholder in Disney. Gates wants to control the living room. Jobs will control the living room.
The most likely reason why the rate jumped dramatically is because they defaulted on their agreement, which gives the bank/lender the right to increase the APR up to the maximum. Most banks will penalize you like this if your payment arrives at 12:01pm on the due date. You're also likely to get nailed if they haven't gotten around to processing your payment by noon on the due date, although proving that one would involve hauling them into court with proof that your payment arrived before noon on the due date (certified mail receipt or some such). As I said in my other post, try reading the details you're agreeing to sometime. All the acronyms and initialisms used are clearly spelled out in there.
APR does stand for Annual Percentage Rate (maybe you should try reading one of your credit card statements sometime). The way most cards calculate it, however, is by tacking a number onto the prime rate. For instance, a card will have an APR that is 4 above prime (currently 3.99, I believe). The rate on that card would be listed as 7.99%. If the prime rate changes, the card company will be able to adjust your rate at a fixed time interval (3 months, 6 months, 1 year, etc), depending on the agreement.

Imagine; a royalty for Sony on every single DVD sold between 2006 and 2012 or thereabouts. No wonder Bill Gates hates Blu-ray.
You mean like what happened with the CD? (Sony and Philips receive royalty payments for CD-based media)
Why do you have to reformat the hard disk?
From my understanding, it's because the EFI modules are loaded on the HD. It sounds like there's a small EFI/boot partition on the disk. Mucking around in there renders the machine unbootable. Reformatting/reinstalling would reset this partition back to it's proper state.

Your theory certainly explains Hollywood.

Does anyone know how well PearPC runs on these things?
Ah, a teak ash tiki.

Any chance it's also the same person as this guy, who ironically enough, also happened to get first post in this thread?

Yes, we know.
My 4th gen iPod (20GB, no video) came with both a USB and firewire cable.

And you're also there to learn critical thinking skills and how to formulate your own opinions.
Not to be outdone, a USC student group has requested that students create a list of their most 'awesome' professors.

Uh huh. Keep it up you little hatefilled troll.

Speaking of Baen, anyone know when they're going to get around to publishing Stephen Colbert's Alpha Squad 7: Lady Nocturne: A Tek Jansen Adventure?
Good combination of influences. : p
Thank you for the correction. Good to know.
