I remember I was in the 8th grade when it happened. No one would tell us what happened, but all the teachers were upset and freaking out, and rumors started to leak in from kids who had checked in to school late, etc. I remember being scared because no one could tell us anything, no TVs, etc. They finally did in the last period of the day and everyone just sitting there with these awful looks on their faces, and this one girl just crying and crying because she had family who worked next to the WTC. It was awful.
I wish they'd told us; they didn't tell the high schoolers either (though I do know one current issues teachers ignored orders and turned on the news because he thought his students should know). I mean, we would have known anyways, and all it did was cause confusion and fear.

I have acquired all of my music via legal means, (and I mean in the thousands). I understand that if I get more than 10 listeners at any given time I simply won't continue to broadcast.
Glad you're paying attention to this.
All you need is one listener who fingers you to the RIAA or other authority. Or one music-industry toady trolling this message board and looking to make an example of someone. It's good that your 20k+ songs were legally-procured, but you don't own their copyright (unless they're your own performances, in which case you've been a busy boy!). Broadcasting stuff whose copyright you don't own or haven't licensed over the Internet (or over a conventional radio station) raises licensing and royalty questions that you'd be wise to investigate before putting anything out there. Much depends on where you're located, but other issues such as your ISP's terms-and-conditions need to be considered too.
Just, be careful. That Nicecast stuff is way cool, and it sounds like tons of fun, but they put that legal commentary up for a reason. You may be exposing yourself and your family to some rather dire legal harm.

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?

try removing one monitor. see if you can see a pattern

One question for you Arn. When you first started this site, would have expected it to have turned into what you see today or were you hoping for something else?

Thanks James, aka Eaton Photos. I cannot believe how many hard drives you have filled in a modest amount of time! It appears that I need to modify my HDD setup and backup plan, as I did not "factor in" a massive expansion when contemplating my HDD setup and backup plan. I thought I was being overzealous planning the use of one HDD.
You must have tens of thousands of photos, but your point being that one's photo library can grow extensively in a fairly limited amount of time and one should plan accordingly, noted!
I am reading about the different RAID arrays and which one's purpose is required for certain situations. I thought RAID was overkill for my needs, but I may be mistaken. Thank you Sir for sharing your knowledge! The photographers are quick to share knowledge and provide advice. :cool:
Well, I have learned a ton and I have to modify my plan in order to build the system I have envisioned.
Keep in mind that Mr. Eaton is a professional. He shoots with a full frame camera that yields large file size images. Think about what you are going to be doing with photography before you jump into all this. The setup you are thinking of buying - the Mac Pro - is easily expandable. If you start with two drives, you still have room for two more. I have a MBP that came with a 250Gb drive. That was good for a year before I upgraded it to a 500 Gb one. The old drive is in an external enclosure and serves as a photo backup of my Aperture file vault. I have a 1TB external drive for Time Machine, and that backs up everything on my system. This is my hobby and I probably shoot around 200 images in an average month, more during good weather. I have a Canon XSi and will move to a 7D in a year or so.
Just my 2k worth.
Edit: My advice is to not configure your setup as an end all right out of the gate. Storage technology is rapidly evolving, and what you dump all that money on may be obsolete in two years. Thunder Bolt will lead to fiber optics being standard and solid state drives will replace disc drives before you know it.

Microsoft has announced that it has halted development on a universal version of VirtualPC.
Digg This (http://digg.com/apple/Microsoft_Officially_Kills_Virtual_PC)
I used to use VirtualPC mainly to take screenshots for various Flash tutorials and demos that I created. Then one day I was in a rush and I took all of my screenshots using Safari and boy did people notice. The couldn't believe how much clearer the screens were and then one of my friends came forwarded and pointed out that most screenshots we see are taken from Macs in the first place.
I soon stopped relying on VPC more and more. My IT department upgraded our e-mail servers so that I use either Mail or Entourage to see my e-mail and slowly I stopped using it completely.
Back when the G5's came out, I could upgrade my machine because there was no support for VPC on a G5 (that changed eventually), but the thought of not being able to run VPC on Mac Pro has never crossed my mind.
The need for VPC in the Mac/Intel age is gone and Microsoft is wise to move on.
Perhaps they're doing this because they can now eaisly create and port native Mac OS apps.

I like Pages for small documents (<20 pages). It has very crisp text display and it is quite nippy in use. The exposed features are quite comprehensive in a single-user environment and the application is quite fun to use. I have yet to try Mellel's word processor however, that is meant to be very good.
It certainly doesn't have the quirks of Word, but it has its own quirks that can be very annoying. For example it wants to be Page Oriented, but then acts like a word processor within each Page, allowing you to have multi-page Pages (that the page template doesn't apply to). WTF?! I admit I didn't get iWork the upgrades didn't seem worthwhile. Hopefully iWork 2007 will be more tempting.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean. If you start with a blank page, Pages works just like any other word processor. Mellel takes a very interesting approach. I spent some time with it in an earlier version but decided to move to Pages when it came out. Unfortunately, anything that doesn't look and act just like Word is not going to be an acceptable alternative for many people.

I have no idea if you can even get lower than Jaguar anymore but anyway I'm looking for a copy of Jaguar.
"Well Daed!" you might say, "Why would one need Jaguar when there are amazing updates like Panther and Tiger?" Read on pondering soul!
I'm going to need Jaguar specifically because it's the higher form of OSX my beloved G3 Pbook can take without me having to mess with XPost Facto. So! does anyone have this wonderful operating system? Also, I need it in CD-ROM form because back int he day, none of those crazy laptops had DVD drives! So yes! Get back to me!
Still have an ancient copy of OSX 10.1 if it even exists? Well then send it my way! I'll pay for it! Just let me know what you have!

Sounds like you've already done a full restore, but I would try the Network Settings refresh suggested above too.
If that doesn't work, time to take it into the Apple Store. If you don't have Apple Care, see how much a repair will cost. Depending on how desparately you need wifi, it might be worth waiting for an iPhone 5 (September hopefully).

Except of course for those who want to listen to music. Touch screen and features are rather useless to me in the car. And the iPod Touch is much too big, compared to my iPod nano.
Has anyone ever explained the meaning of "gross margin" to you?
Sorry.
However, their profit margin (not gross margin) is around 25%. Profit for 2010 was 14 billion, revenue was 65 billion. Operating income was 18.4 billion.

Why should Ferrari put good tires on their cars?
Just think about it; here's a company championing (used to, anyway) their music player and how great the experience was, but then at the same time made sure that the final product (the music that enters your head) sounds like total ass because of 10 cent headphones they include with their premium product.
Same thing applies to Ferrari--why build an awesome car that's made for great performance, and then put 10 cent tires on it, resulting in a poor final product in terms of end-user experience?
A premium music player is useless without good headphones, just as a premium car is useless without good tires.
Putting crappy headphones in the box of a premium priced/marketed product is an oxymoron, and a bit of an insult to the consumer. And spare the "Oh but that would cost too much for the consumer", because that wouldn't exactly flow with everyone praising a $6B profit quarter.
What would be the alternative? Put some Dr. Dre head phones in the box and have the iPod cost $80 more? To what end?
Very few people care about the quality of the headphones that come with iPods. For those that do, they can buy nice set of headphones and not worry about the 10 cent ones that Apple puts in the box.
If Apple put in a half decent set of headphones and increased the price by, say $20, the folks that want even better headphones would complain that they have to pay an extra $20 for headphones they'll never use.

my 3G is dying too :) but I need iPad 2 first
i would rather go with dumb phone and iPad 2 for use in school etc
My wife's phone died right after I got my iPad 2...gave her my iP4 and convinced ATT to give me an early upgrade, got an HTC Inspire(Great phone for the record). On your point though, the iPad 2 took away any sadness the iP4 left:) Youll love it man!
