I occasionally drive a Ford F350 SuperDuty diesel. For a truck, diesel is really the way to go. It can pull a house, uphill, with a headwind, in a snowstorm. No petrol engine comes close in the torque department, especially at low speeds. Noisy as hell and slow as a turtle off the line but that's not what the vehicle is about. Fuel savings are considerable of petrol equivalent in this vehicle.

In Canada it's $50-$55, but you're SOL if you have greymarket phone like me. I have a Rogers phone and have never had a contract with them, even though I've been a subscriber to their discount brand Fido for 5 years they won't unlock it.
It's a 3GS so it's a little easier to take things into my own hands.
I've had 3 iPhone 4's unlocked by Rogers, 2 of which were under contract. It is against their internal policies, but it partly depends on the rep you get. For the second phone I got one that was so confused (policy was only a week old) that I was able to convince him the policy allowed me to be unlocked and so he did.

For me it's very simple: no redesign, no bigger screen, no better battery = NO BUY! (can have 100 mpx camera, gold plated etc don't care at all!)
Will keep my iphone 4 and wait for the iphone "6" then...

And your done, might even bookmark it if you use it often.
Thanks, that worked. A pity that bonjour cannot do it automatically.

Hi, I'm doing some research into the 10.6 OS I've come across two pieces of seemingly conflicting documentation.
In the Network Services Admin 10.6 PDF (http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/Network_Services_Admin_v10.6.pdf) on pages 23-24 I'm reading "Mac OS X Server uses the xinetd process to manage many UNIX network services, such as FTP, finger, and so on. xinetd listens for requests on specific TCP/IP sockets and is a secure replacement for inetd. However, because xinetd does not handle RPC services well, inetd and xinetd are included with Mac OS X."
But Apple TN2083 (http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#technotes/tn2005/tn2083.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS10003794) says "Starting with Mac OS X 10.4, inetd and xinetd daemons are deprecated in favor of launchd daemons; a launchd daemon can specify a list of TCP and UDP ports to listen on as part of its property list file. Starting with Mac OS X 10.5, inetd and xinetd daemons are no longer supported. However, it's easy to run an existing inetd or xinetd daemon by creating and installing a simple launchd property list file (resulting in an inetd-compatible launchd daemon). For an example of this, check out /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/finger.plist."
Can anybody shed some light on this? I have a feeling the TN is correct, but it would make me sad to find out that Apple's own server documentation is out of date. I'd attempt to poke around in the system myself, but sadly I can't afford a copy of 10.6 server. Lion can't come fast enough!
Thanks in advance for any info anybody can provide.

It's a US Navy Battleship of some kind, my initial thought was part of The Great White Fleet, but I'm not sure.
Pre-dreadnought, so likely before, what, 1900 I think? The battleships that followed lacked the decorations you saw on the old ones. Stuff like that gold-coloured scroll-y stuff on the bow were completely pass� after the turn of the century or so.
snip, dude
It would be great if you could post a link. Thanks. That pic is awesome. :)

Ha, that's sweet! It would be cool if you could have the Snow Leopard background layered on top of it, but have it be opaque so you could still see the "guts".

I'm curious as to how the fifth avenue turn out was. This is the first big event at this store that I missed. I was there for its opening day and the iPhone launch. Both were amazing. I just don't see the need to buy leapord right now because I plan on buying a new mac within the year.

I'm freakin sick of the ITMS. :mad:
I love iTunes and my iPod, but purchasing music that can only be put on an iPod is crap. There may be a better player out later which I want to go to and then *poof* my ITMS purchased tracks are crap.

It's (significantly) cheaper.
It's better.
'Nuff said.

no argument here - but i hate the fact android manufacturers are restricting their phones with encrypted bootloaders etc (motorola, and now htc) which definitely affects being able to flash your device with whatever. not to mention with att's android devices you have to root them to even be able to install the amazon market due to even more restrictions. also waiting forever for the latest android update to go from google -> manufacturer -> mobile provider -> customer... with each putting their own crapware on it
if i ever make the switch, it will hopefully be to a google released and supported phone on at&t. i know the nexus s is a samsung device, but at least it receives pushed google updates.
but i feel you, i get frustrated with all of this too. if it wasnt for jbing, i would have ditched the phone long ago.
Yeh, some manufacturers are making it harder to Root, but Root DOESN'T equal Jailbreak. The Android os (speaking on 2.3) has built in hotspot, built in widgets, built in moving backgrounds, built in customizable screens, built in facebook, built in lock screen custimization, built in keyboards, systemwide voice activation, etc. There are things that people want to jailbreak for, and in Android OS you don't have to ROOT to do any of that.

I'm surprised at you kavika.I'm surprised at your failure to detect kavika's brand of heavy-handed sarcasm.
Seriously? Even a child knows that if they have $10, a bully takes $5, but then returns $1, that the bully didn't GIVE them anything, but rather TOOK $4 instead of $5. Saying things like the government is 'giving people tax relief' is backwards thinking.Giving relief from taxes is not the same as stealing money. Without taxes, your country would not function, either for rich or poor. The money has to come from somewhere, and it makes a great deal more sense for more of it to come from those who can afford it at the expense of a few unnecessary luxuries than from those who need it to pay for their necessities. Without the infrastructure funded by taxation, only warlords would be able to keep hold of their money. Are you so keen to emulate Somalia?
And if that mobjority decides that they want to take all the wealth of a certain group of people, that's their right to do? Since they have a majority? It's pretty easy to get support from a majority of people to take other people's money and distribute it to them. It's just not moral. Your position is that individuals have zero moral, legal, or otherwise claim to the wealth that they themselves work for/earn?Needless to say, that is not his position, or anyone's. You have produced an absurd strawman argument, as is your wont.
As evidence that some rich people didn't earn their wealth, you just referenced Enron that went bankrupt, Madoff who went to prison, and the Banks who we bailed out... and would have otherwise gone bankrupt. So, essentially three examples where the free market either did or would have (without government intervention) correctly punished bad businesses. Odd choice.You seem unable to differentiate between bad businesses and the huge bonuses and salaries paid by them.
Hardly. All I'm trying to do is better understand your position.No, you are not. You are trying to utterly mischaracterise his position. Please don't be so transparently disingenuous. You cannot possibly be so stupid as to think that is anybody's real position.

Hi there,
I just attached a 3rd display (all Dells; one connected via DVI, the other two via DP->miniDP), and now my MP won't start up. None of the displays show anything (they stay black) and the MP doesn't make the chime after I push the button, as it should.
Am I doing something wrong?

Army PT, then coming home and getting dressed for ROTC. I was in Utah and don't listen to the radio or watch tv in the morning - so I didn't hear anything about it until the girl that was in love with my roommate (who believes milk will give you leukemia) called to tell us a plane hit the Pentagon and WTC.
Then spent the next 30 min trying to get through th jammed DC circuits to find out my Dad's doctor was getting impatient to discuss some test results and asked him to come in. He went to see the doctor instead of going to his weekly meeting at the Pentagon.

Update: I got my Rosewill Trident X RNX-N2X wireless adapter working no thanks to "we don't really support Macs" Rosewill Tech support. I basically willed it to work. :p When I first hooked this up to my G5 Mac, I was getting a self generated IP address. I setup a connection to my home network, including passoword and created a profile. It said I was connected to my home network but I could not get online with it. I updated the Rosewill Utility, no help. In the Network Preferences Page, it also showed I was connected. So I started looking through the different pages of the Rosewill Utility. On the WPS page there were some settings like Config Mode, choices were Enrollee and Registrar. I have no idea what they mean but I switched it to Registrar. Then I noticed that a box for 'Auto select the AP' (which I have no idea what that does) was unchecked. When I checked it *vio-la* I had a good IP address and now I am online. Hurrah! Stumbling around sometimes, it actually works. :D:D No need to return it now.

for me it's in PS Elements, but the one used the most, and thus my personal favorite, is the Melancholytron filter. It has so many variables, a good preview screen and is totally reversible from the Edit menu.
The effects can go from subtle (for example, a slight vignette of edges) to sepia toning. It's a great filter when not overdone, and when overdone if you want to!
