I also work in a large engineering consulting firm that uses only Windows XP. I have been using my mac on my own for work for the last two years or so (Please no comments about using personal machines for work. I am aware). I would love to see some others be allowed to use Macs because I think they make sense for some jobs. It would not make sense for everyone to go to Macs because we have some windows-only software requirements.

I am interested to see what answers come. My major curiosity is how well the Macs integrate into an Active Directory domain. I don't want anyone in the company to be able to log into my personal machine, so I have not tried it yet.

You are right Wildcowboy. I really didn't like it once I saw it that size, it looked better bigger. I'll do better next time. In fact I've found that "trial and error" seems to be the best way to learn sometimes.

Not much really when you stop and think about. You can get 12TB of storage on Newegg (let's say 4000 3TB drives) for a couple hundred grand. Of course Apple is buying more than just drives.

obviously you have never shopped for Enterprise storage for a SAN

back when 2TB drives were $300 or so we bought some 500GB drives from EMC for $800 each plus or minus some $$$.

Is this possible?
I have a Pink Floyd DVD of a concert. Is it possible to rip the music from the DVD and put it on a blank CD for listening to the soundtrack?
Thanks.:)

I'm drooling over some of the Corrado pics that were posted. I've always loved those cars. I believe to this day they still look modern.

You already have a few members in this thread who said they're not eligible.

A number of ineligible donors is not the same as a lack of eligible donors. That's basic logic.

Build To Order according to some www searches, but your results may differ.

Thanks.

I found it today via Google. The original is 1280x1024 though, so if you want it for widescreen, you have to edit it.

Thanks. :) It'll take seconds to edit it, it doesn't bother me at all.

it strikes me as very monty python-esque animation...I LIKE!

so it seem that everybody is jumping on this cloud bandwagon. just wondering if having web based operating systems and file storage will slow down broadband internet speed?

is that a concern? honestly i'd rather have faster internet, if that's the choice.

could somebody tell me more about this?

thanks.
-P

Using more bandwidth will... use more bandwidth.

I... robot. I... robot. I... robot.

Get it?

running a carbon copy cloner run of my itunes 1.3Tb library to its matching backup, a first run of time machine backup to another drive and checking for artwork in itunes - its making a steady 50 deg which aint bad for a machine with a 90% load

People who pirate movies wouldn't have bought the movie in the first place.
I don't think I completely agree with that... Yeah, there are some who will pirate just because it's free, but there are also those who will do it because it's the only way to get content in the form they want it in. Back before iTMS, Napster was the only game in town for digital downloads.

Regardless of how people feel about copyright, if their only access to flexible content is the black market they'll go there.

Anyone with page orientation with MacWorld Website? Continuous screen rotation would cause my iPhone 4 to 'lock-up' and it would force quit several times. This problem occurs in two iPhone 4s and iPod Touch Gen 4. Only happens with MacWorld website.

Is it because of phone iOS bug or a badly written site?

Exactly, Apple wouldn't care if you did. What you sold would be 2nd hand and have no warranty etc.. The same I assume would be true of T.J.s. As non authorized dealers they have bought some iPads and would be selling them as second hand items. Buyer beware.

Why is everyone under the impression that Apple is Sony, Dell, etc?
Apple Warranty is valid for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc buyer of the same product because Apple doesn't do that ridiculous crap of killing off a warranty based on resale. It is based on the dated receipt. If you have a receipt, and it is within the 1 year warranty, it's covered.

I have bought and resold my main computers over and over again. I sell when I reach that last month mark. The buyers are always covered for that last month, and if they so choose, they can buy the 2 year extended before that final month is over.

I wounder if the VoiceOver would work on iPod shuffle if I don't buy songs form iTunes. I just download. I mean will it still read the names of the songs?
I am thinking about getting one, but I would need VoiceOver to work.

$170 shipped?

Why would it be ironic? Giving blood is a selfless act and anything that helps increase stocks is a positive.
I wasn't saying anything against donating blood, I commend that. I just pointed out that there aren't that many potential donors here to actively support that cause.

I can bake cookies, though, and if you give me a tenner I'll go buy some OJ on my way.

Thanks for posting

One of several in rotation. I use SnowTunes for the dark menubar (among other things), DarkDock for the dark dock :p, and Float for the indicators. Bowtie provides the album artwork, and I have a matching Adium theme that I just hid so I didn't have to go in and blur out the names.
