how would you compate the iman to the macbook pro if you were to buy only 1 machine

Attempts have thus been made on the lives of one of every five American Presidents. One of every nine Presidents has been killed. Since 1865, there have been attempts on the lives of one of every four Presidents and the successful assassination of one of e one of every five
You might wait for a dip

a lot of the contacts with defense companies have already been signed i wonder if there will continue to be growth in that area in the near term, at least
its had Great 5 year run.. And it might just continue on. but I get nervous when they have long winning streaks, which doesnt neccesarily mean anything other than its a great stock. But it still makes me nervous.. Damn though the chart has gone up 25 years
well, it’s always so damn hard to tell.. as often, stock performance has nothing to do with company performance :-/
Couple upgrades lately but 100.00 high estimate analysts, not enough… Though I take thier opinions with a grain of salt. The good thing about this one though is it will do well even in non war times.
major projects in satellites/commerical rockets/new generation Constellation manned program to ISS?moon
Lupine yep.. I would wait for some bad news and buy it around 88 86
hehe, the ford memorial website is in horrible shape
My 401k is heavy into lottery tickets
haha can empathize with that
Edwards has declared that he’s running.
3Joes…they will whip it into shape
I’m angling for a part in the Constellation project in ~2 years.
LOL John Edwards….
As I get older, I think national healthcare and an end to property taxes are good things
“Vote for me…yopu already know I am slime! I am a PI Lawyer!” Hikezilla….in FL at least they are trying to get a State fairtax passed
I can’t see Hillary getting the nomination but…she probably will
consumption tax to replace property taxes
I won’t vote for her
many will not vote for her… no matter how red white and blue she paints herself she still is red & yellow inside…
Walmart has generic drugs for $12 a month, K mart is $14 a month, and Meijer is handing out FREE generic anti-biotics
that could also be Wal_marts doing as well… think of it as good PR that is so you take your mind off the workers plight there…as they work to the opening theme to Les Miserables…
We get our drugs from this website in Mexico…top notch stuff…but all the pills look the same
CryHavoc You know, with our amendment process here.. I want to start a new ammendment for next ballot: State Amendment: The total taxation from every state, county, city or local government or department, for each citizen of the fair state of Florida, shall be no-greater than $1.00 USD.
hmm copper prices keep dropping
Walmart had unimpressive stock growth this season (no growth lol)
They’re all multi colored and have an M for Mexico printed on them
My wage…it sucks…but what else can I do… Look Down..Look Down no EDU so yer screwed!
It was one of my two buys that had little growth over the season
that is not a very good sign for the economy
hey hey!
inside Les Mis joke hehehe Harsen…what is a share of going for now?
46.16
hrmm…
The blue ones are Mexican Viagra, the reds are Mexican tranqullizers
pretty flat
well I think it is a stabel pick
It is a stable pick but its pretty flat
NEW COMPUTER!!!!
You don’t buy individual stocks for stability or value
flat is good…especially if the market starts heaving
LLY is flat as a 12 year old…been ho,lding that one for 5 years…it sucks
what are you looking for?
you buy individual stocks for GROWTH
capital gains? income?
Harsen…or a mix…
if your just looking to put money into a flat stock, might as well just put it in a mutual fund then atleast you get modest growth
what’s apying a 5% dividend right now?
trapezoid, Capital Gains
ok
the viagra will make it grow 
hmm.. wonder if you can short-sell realestate 
i think its better to invest in arab viagra stock
Investment is about making money through growth
not for everyone
not value investing, thats mutual fund and RRSP stuff
Nippon…for that sitch..I would call a bookie…
different people have different investment goals
hundreds of Iraqi’s want to he be the hangman for Saddam
call odds on when the hukes fly..
yeah man
then see if you can call a good death toll…
i was reading somewhere that viagra is most in demand among arabs
sorry peeps if that sounds black… its what I used to do at one point..
are you changing many of your holdings? or just a few?
I called 2000 siks dead in retaliation for Indira Gandhis assasination..I was right on the nose..
My house is paid for, I hope I can keep it
sikhs u mean
Hike,,where are you? yes Sikhs
Middle of IN
was it a sikh?
I called 2000 dead..that was the official toll
i thought it was a hindu
trapezoid, i’m changing my financials, tech and defense
i know her son was killed by a hindu
Hike..why would you not be able to keep your house?
invest in canuckistan helicopters..
trapezoid, i’m leaving my food/restaurant, oil and automotive
She was too
Cry…taxes
how bad are they there?
taxes and real estate values are stagnant
any reason why you would remain in a sector but change the specific company?
don’t you have work there?
between taxes and insurance we pay close to $500 a month
trapezoid, because some companies are better in a certain sector than others, and I like to stay diversified
no mortgage though?
Indiana has no tech jobs left no mortgage
500 a month is nothing…
i agree
hahah…$500 a month for a house I own is bullshit
is this mortgage or rent?
Hike….IN is the rust belt…
herzen what financials are you selling, and what are you replacing them with?
IT TAXES AND INSURANCE
For what its worth Harsen and I dont always give them much of a grain of salt but I tend to agree with them, I think now is a bad time to buy defense aerospace stocks. Wait for a large pullback.. They have had huge runups.. and they look petered out.. I dont know just too risky.. ive been thinking about investing more in china.
dang
I don’t pay rent or mortgage
i used to spend 500 a month on parking alone!
ONLY $500? count yourself lucky
Indiana has been inthe hands of liberal democrats for too long. We’re a dying state
IN took a hit in 1984..not as bad as IL or MI or OH ..but a hit none the less
so I am looking at moving to South Carolina
Hike..Florida is better
come to NYC
they need tech down here
Florida has to many old people
and no State income tax
trapezoid, out of BK and SBNY and into BAC
Florida is going to go democrat soon..
go to NH
FT…not for at least 4 more years..
no state taxes there either better yet move to alaska
Charlie Crist is a fiscal COnservative GOP er
Nippon…i am not moving further north…we’re trying to get out of the snow have looked at property in Costa Rica
NH has a 2% tax now
China investment, 2007 will be a good year for China, especially with olympics coming up in 08
Hikezilla dont worry, climate change has fixed it for u
out of BK? hmmmm
Harsen..flip a coin on those olympics being there…
If Cuba goes down (Castro) and that no longer is a big issue. And N.E. liberal jews keep moving and retiring there its going to be democrat..On the other hand in about 10 years or less california is going repubican again.
Harsen u know thats exactly what i was thinking
thank God Al Gore invented environmental disasters
Harsen yep
FL will not go dem for awhile
trapezoid, Absolutely, end of the year, I’ve made modest gains, time to take some profit
the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog wow, this keyboard sucks
yeah right!!
Fl already was dem by within 2000 points some would argue 500 in 2000
if China has another Tiannenmen foobar…boink go the olympics hosting
Nomex mine too Im in for a new one.
they have just made some big changes, they bought mellon, and now earn most of their money as fees, as compared to bac which earns on loans and interest rate spreads
California needs a Conservative GOP governor
Was listening to Radio China International last night….they had a show talking about abortions and how they were GOOD for a woman
Hike..uh huh
But if the cubans get castro out of cuba, and dont move back, its on to the welfare state of america.. Damn is that cynical or what. Lupine you live there, what do you say ?
trapezoid, BAC is buying Barclays
considering the flat/inverse yield curve, i would prefer a fee based income structure than one dependent on interest rate curve spreads at least now
FT..Cuba will be a boon for Florida…
Castro dies, and the robber barons of the world will come to Cuba and rebuild the Casinos and vacation trade and it will be beautiful again
Cry for trade yeah..
and the news is out
but there arent rich cubans waiting to buy there.
Hike..not robber barons…businessmen
Cry..yeah…carpet baggers
they will turn Cubaa around in 2-5 years
trapezoid, Premiums from Barclays acquisition should be pretty nice, I’m feeling bullish about BAC in the short run and we’ll see where she goes, but BK has given me a good run and it is time to take profits from it
what advantage does owning barclays give bac?
Hike..no not Carpet Baggers either
trapezoid, to be fair, i’m leaving assets in BK as well
ok
Where is Lupine.
then Cuba has its north shore to lease…
i owned bk for a long time, sold them in 2002
there could be some more Atochas there
Watch how fast these anti communists become welfare and free shit lovers..
citigroup is supposed to do well as they make more management changes
FT….if Castro goes….Cuban emigrees lose political asylum status
trapezoid, Are you invested at all in Tech? 2007 looks good for a few groups
no
little cuba is already a lot like East LA. Just take the hate cuba away from them and beta bing.. Republicans turn democrat for that food stamp check and that free housing.
if Hike wants to talk robber barons…they are the speedboat owners in Miami…
MSFT looks good for 07 actually
Chicano Cubanos
Since it is an upgrade cycle with vista and so on
yes M$ is a good buy…
harsan, I own msft right now, its been doing ok lately, not as fast as I would like to see it move but its been moving up
FreeTra5w, Sit on it awhile, I think that in 07 MSFT will have a pretty good first and second quarter
i woudnt expect vista to do much for MS this year
But a lot of people are going to wait and then suddenly they will by vista at once, and vista office. and zune is a damn good mp3 player though I dont know if it will take off.
the requirements of vista are pretty hefty compared to xp….
depends how it runs…
Harsen, Yeah I am banking on it.
a LOT of companies wll not be upgrading for a while
i hold things like oil pipelines, REITS, and other high dividend payers
Vista Requirements are nothing for any machine built in last 2 years
What msft needs is new energy.. A kick in the ass they have the assetts to do anything
FT..I do not see one OS wise…
they just need some ideas.
well cry - like i said - a lot of companies will NOT be upgrading for a while
besides the dividend return, they go up in value as well, though not as fast as traditional growth companies
partly because of the hardware requrements
Mac has no user base…and Linux is still thoroughly anarchic
I think they should buy Apple and dump Windows.
Cry well they could go into something else. I dont know what god knows they have tried a lot of markets..
Yaakov…the FTC would not like that FT..M$’s Allen hs vestment in SpaceShop2
but they need to innovate and do like apple did with the iMac, the iMac saved Macintosh from bankruptcy
SDhip Ship
and now its doing great.
it looks t melike it ws the ipodnot the imac that saved apple’s ass
M$ has achieved near fullhorizantal saturation…
Allen is too flightly, they need to stop thinking charity and great contributions to humanity and start thinking profit.
apple is having regulatory problems
and the Zune is out…
They plan to invest in things like healthcare.. which if they can profit at it great.
The Zune is a non-starter.
so?
I bet the Ipod makers are scrambling
They messed that up. It’s a shame.
I would not say it is a non starter…
most of the reviews of zune i’ve heard make it out to be a steaming pile
Yaak, Its realy everybit as good as the ipod same size In fact the video is better the sound is even
and wifi xfers
No, it’s software is extra crappy.
zune looks pretty cool to me
the size is larger which is a disadvantage/advantage depending on your tastes
i haven’t seen one yet tho
of course..that will create Zune Hax0rpunkzzz…
well, there’s ONE they’ll sell nabe 2
Ive played with the zune and I dont own an mp3 player
The hardware would be nice, if someone else provides firware/software.
if I had been serious about one, I would have bought it.
Yaakov…zuneHaxoring has started
and if it owuld play shit other than zune store shit
hehe
But I wont buy a mp3 player till I get serious educational podcasts. I dont want it for music
Goon…what makes you think it won’t
iTunes + iPod work well for me.
CryHavoc - well when its been hacked to run linux -let me know
Goon…give it time..
and FreeTra5w - check itunes - the UC system is putint out a LOT of edu podcasts
I would prefer a video presentation on something educational.
itunespamgarbage I can do with out
im subscribed to 3 psych, 2 astronomy, and 3 computer classes
Will only itunes play the UC ones ? Since a lot of UCB is moving to msft
Fre - the’re podcasts - 99% of podcasts are mp3
My brothers dept went from Mac to MSFT in the last 3 months.
including the uc ones mp3 has no protection in it
mp3 play in zune or in creative labs creative labs is equal to ipod too
good speaking of hacking mp3 plaers there an itunes decryptor for 7.02?
FT…and then some
the 30 gig ipod, zune and creative labs are all equal in sound quality.. My daugter and you know how high school kids are she picked creative labs.
I would buy one of those Sandisk players over an Ipod anyways
ft…
Creative Labs still makes kickass shit
fairtunes?
same functionality with less price just less trendy
Same price for ipod creative labs and zune
the decryptors i;ve tried…qtfairuse, and another one
exact same price range
The quality of the iPod hardware is better than any other player. It is *very* nicely made.
dont seem to work at alll with 7.02
I never buy anything from the iTunes store. I rip CDs and download free MP3 content.
itunes sucks ass though
Yaak, Which though ? Since they sell about 100 items
but at least wth itunes you can burn to cd then rip to mp3 Yaakov - ive only ever bought 1 album from itunes
The whole iPod line beats any equivalent price point item for fit and finish.
Well with Zune and Creative labs you can rip too
but it was an album ;ve been hunting for for a couple years zuneis gonna be the MS Bob of the mp3 player world
But there are a couple of nice players out there that are competetive, they just didn’t get very far. Like the Yepp, from Samsung.
What gets me is MSFT hasnt really advertised zune, maybe they are just testing it to see if its worth getting into bigtime or just produce one unit.. it has a lot of potential with bluetooth, I think much cooler than sharing a song would be if 4 kids could listen to the same song synched..
A really neat little player, but never got much market.
Now that would be cool and kids would eat it up
Actually, there is one open source player… can’t recall the name… looks like it would give the iPod a run. Nicely made and all open.
But msft if its going to take on a save the world mode then I am going to get out. I need companies which are selfishly in the pursuit of profits.
FT…yes
geez citigroup is up to $56
Selfish usually means innovation and better contributions to society ironically
and if MS decides there is something to it….
higest in years
Apple and Ipod best run for cover
highest
hey
whats Google Stack at? Stock…
my new PC is working well so fr
Swigert…cool!
installing my software on it
468.03
ther Harsen…hot buy
feh!
as soon as I can - transfer what I can from my old PC
Imacs started out cute and trendy and were shit so you could change the color.. Big deal.. then they came out with OSX.. suddenly they were much better though very expensive.. and the firs imacs were junk but the 2nd and 3rd generation got good. uImacs started out cute and trendy and were shit so you could change the color.. Big deal.. then they came out with OSX.. suddenly they were much better though very expensive.. and the firs imacs were junk but the 2nd and 3rd generation got good./u
you might consider waiting on some purchases till the market pulls back a bit
No!!!!!
it is awfully high
But now I think its say they made a solid come back not just in fluff but in substance. MSFT needs to do the same.
Swigert…you thought you could just get a new PC and not have the govt watch you?
I…will…obey
hi guys whats up
Install Abort….User Interdicted
hey dabush
Google right now I wouldnt touch with a 10 food stick. They are also ideological and love the space program.. Well fine.. But turn that into greed and bottom line and I will consider buying.
i now have a subwoofer for my PC
Seriously these guys get wealthy and if they forget greed and their stock value, they screw up.. These guys have pet projects but if they cant turn a buck on them then they are worthless to stock holders..
issit chrismas yet?
FT…Google has the $$ to be greedy…
I want to make sure my ceos are still greedy enough to be innovative and producing something good for society.. Since success in marketing means success for society it means they have produced a breakthrough or a new product which makes life better or something.
but at moment…Google is a few pieces of company swimming in a cash soup
The computer I currently recommend for all around use is the iMac.
Yaakov…why?
The guys who run google who love space may spend billions on space based programs which have 0 profit and benefit noone
it was on Monday, you heathen
what about the macbook?
Google has 1 major cash cow … until real competion appears there, they will continue to rake in the dough
FT..unless you consider they may have long term goals..
Because it is an amazing value and can run OS X *or* Windows *or* BOTH.
Yaak, I think Most tech people I know reccomend the iMAC osx But whats the price of a good one ?
Any comapny that decides it will go to the moon or the equiv…will not be profitable…right away
I recommend it even for Windows.
And what would I gain as a businessman from it ?
you`re talking nonesense
Whats it cost ?
Yaakov…the new Dual Core Intel CPU?
it depends on the usage
how much for a decent imac?
how you gonna use it, and for what
DABush, I take that as an insult so you better explain fast.
Yaakov..I still prefer to construct my own
assuming i am not planning to crunch numbers for NASA
i did explayen sorry for insulting you didnt mean it
1600 bucks, inclusive, with a 20″ flat panel.
You said I was talking nonsense
includes a DVD burner?
not a bad price…
On wwhat ?
i’m installing software on my new Dell right now
but I still prefer to biuld my own…
With DVD, WiFi, and some exceptionally cool home entertainment software.
avoid sub standard components that way
the dictionary says nonsense= wrong things :/
and what about the windows OS? that is purchased spearately, no?
I can’t remember if it is DVD-R at that price.
Ok, I am a vanilla buisness man.. How much for a iMac with those bells and whistles ?
Also, you *don’t* buy their memory upgrade, it is too expensive. No, no Windows.
I am already spending much more than my computer needs. On computer stuff
Yaako…ahh…too expensive… now we know the rest of the stopry
no windows OS? so how do you run windows software?
and my system is about $1500.00 Dual Core.
wmware station probebly
trap..lay out an extra 3-400
Dabbush I am not an idiot I know what nonsense is.
You pay Microsoft to run XP or Vista.
What did I say which was nonsense ?
Yaakov..how so? Activation?
so in the end it is about $2k?
that os is better then other
You buy XP, retail.
I didnt say that
with software, etc
I said what other techies have told me
Yaakov..or OEM..as I do
Thats what techies like Yaak are telling me right now
No, it isn’t that expensive. I think you can get XP for 200.
and mrRod tell me
no steenking activation needed
hm what are u gonna use the computer for?
I dont say I agree with them though I admire their intelligence. People have different uses for computers
is a DVD burner an extravagance in your opinion?
i thought its ur opinion
I could construct a PC for about 2K…that could hold its own against that Imac…
I am a vanilla business man mostly so I dont need much
But I like OS X well enough. I don’t strictly *need* Windows frankly. I can do what I want/need without it.
yeah but freetra
Isnt an imac about $2500.00 ? And what if you want a big screen ?
if its for cracking hashes and passwords for example
DVD burners are so low in cost…its amusing
Eh. THe iMac is plug-and-play and very slick.
or playing pc games and watching movies
It is a GREAT home machine.
Yaakov…and very expensive..
ill chose other OS per each
Of course, I don’t play any games.
i am thinking of an imac or a macbook
and you have to trust someone else to biuld the machine..
I watch movies on a 34″ LCD HD TV
build the machine urself
I use a PowerBook and will be getting a MacBook Pro soonish.
the shit they used in their PCs to cut costs..
i go watch xman again
I think my next box I am going to build myself very specialized for my purposes.
macbook pro is $$$?
cyao
MR Modems…90 W PSUs….
$3k?
Actually again, I always go overboard..
Yes, uncheap.
I mean I never need what I buy
I will pay about 2K for what I want.
ok…dinner time here…porkchops are calling!!
is it heavy, or light?
Im just a guy who likes to play but my needs for computing would be a 1 gig cpu 1 gig ram, 500gigs hd.. and I would be set..
What is REALLY cool are the 30″ Cinema displays… They are IMPRESSIVE.
hmmm
They are mid-range weight.
As it is I have 2gigs dual core and 3 gigs ram and 1.3 terabytes and overkilll
how would you compate the iman to the macbook pro, if you were to buy only 1 machine? compare imac
2.80 gigs dual core
I would buy the notebook since it is more flexible.
yes and aparently only a few hundred $ more
Anyway I never got a price on an imac I better look it up
what do you mean by “flexible”?
I have a dual 2GHz G5 desktop with a 23″ cinema display on my desk, but if I could only have one, it would be this 15″ PowerBook. It goes with me.
yes ok thanks
Ok here is one with less goodies than mine $2000.00 but they have come down in price.
freetrade, you’re rich, you can buy me things, right
will it take me long to “unlearn” windows and “learn” apple?
haha, Nah I am taking it easy on purchases from now on.
trapezoid givn that OSs arent rocket science i dont think so
I just got a 320 gig drive for $79
Probably nor. not.
you never know…… i am a slow learner
Though you can also choose to learn the UNIX underpinnings.
i am familiar with UNIX already
yaakov use the word grok and you’ll get a +5 rating on slashdot (5 insightful)
It is FreeBSD, with some twists. slashdot is boring.
Could I throw a $79 sata hard drive into a mac ?
You could, but you wouldn’t do it to an iMac, most likely.
freetrade im going to have to send my notebook in because it wont start up
redfish thats a bummer..
It is all commodity stuff inside. Intel motherboard chipset, and standard parts.
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) — Saddam Hussein urged Iraqis to embrace ”brotherly coexistence” and not to hate U.S.-led foreign troops in a goodbye letter posted on a Web site Wednesday, a day after Iraq’s highest court upheld his death sentence and ordered him ha ordered him hanged within 30 days.
That’s a little unexpected.
freetrade but you can buy me a new and improved computer
yeah I notice they arent as proprietary anymore, Of all the companies who really tried to be a monopoly I think Apple Mac did and they lost out because they did.. You had to buy everything from them.. So now they have opened up thats good.
It is actually very good engineering as well.
But my problem with a Mac would be like when you have driven on the right side of the road your whole life and suddenly you have to drive on the right side of the road.. I am not interested. My brother calls me when he wants to fix his high end mac.. Sometimes I can Sometimes I cant but I hate the interface.
freetrade is a hater
But there prices have come down No I just hate their interface, I dont hate people
macs are the worst engineered machines from a hardware standpoint ever so hard to take apart
We are buying all Macs whether the target is OS X or Windows or, eventually but not quite yet, Linux. Plus, Mac is more metrosexual so it goes better with my metrosexual car. And my black tshirts.
yaakov dresses exactly like steve jobs
if you’re just using them as plain old desktops, use HP or IBM cheaper and better service
Yaak, haha
Well, somewhat–but I have been told I look better in it.
yaakov has a photo of steve jobs framed above his desk
Eh. Lenovo is going downhill, HP can’t compete on price. I don’t like Steve Jobs and eveyone that knows me thinks I am a “Windows Bigot”. It’s funny.
hp can’t compete on price for desktops? crazy
Ill tell you something, I was looking at dell and I bought Lenova.. I love that 12.1 computer more than anyone I own and use it more
I take that back, some think I am a Linux freak.
I knew you would freetrade
if you dont like steve jobs why are you stalking him and dressing just like him
We have a contract with Lenovo. HP couldn’t come close.
people tell me if i walk around with a macbook i will be more attractive to women
Half the time I am running this monster down here its through VNC local firewall wireless from my lenova.
It is a coincidence. You could also try a dog.
depending on the size of your business, hp would bend over pretty far
I was skeptical..
10,000 desktops.
Nomex told me about lenova..
well you have to walk a dog
hp would bend over really far
I listened and I eventually bought.
trapezoid walks around with a copy of cacther in the rye
They didn’t.
catcher
Best damn computer I have ever owned.
eh, sometimes you get a bad sales rep
Its a 12.1 notebook lightest in the world and longest lasting battery
lonovo?
lenovo
Trap IBM
they make the old ibm thinkpad
thinkpad
I have been in this business 25 years now. I have a little bit of clue. I use five operating systems everyday.
They have proprietary software and hardware features which are still very nice.
yeah i have looked at the lenovo thinkpad the lightweight one
thank you TheTailor
it is rather expensive
my company sells HP and IBM, and most of the time they’re just about even for pricing
I like ThinkPad a *lot*.
Trap, if you want one for heavy communiting and I even use mine for GPS ? Get the 12.1″
Yaakov, I love this ThinkPad
hmm
Its small but the thing which shocks me is it never feels small
I just realized this is an apple keyboard and there’s no alt key
FT, Mine is 14.1
We pay VERY low prices for the Lenovo. Unfortunately, they are starting to show signs of poor QC.
oh wait there it is
TT also lenova ? I also like their notepad notebook..
hoqw would you comare the thinkpad to the macbook pro?
Lenova is IBM, Chinafied.
FT, This one is from when they were IBM, 900 mhz
what do you call it ? Detachable top you can write on
I thought it was Lenovo
tablet?
Yeah tablet thats it
it’s not actually detachable
Thats a very tempting machine.
it just spins around and lays flat
Oh
though they’re still awsome
They are different enough to make a direct comparison difficult, but in general they are similar dollar-for-dollar, IF you don’t buy your memory from Apple.
if I wasn’t such a cheapskate, I’d have one
But I like the idea but I had to stay true to my principles.. Which were.. Smallest possible, Lightest, best quality, Longest batter life for work, business computing and Its been fantastic
“Having solved all of the state’s other problems, Massachusetts legislature is debating over the official state reptile” http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2006/12/27/a_bill_with_teeth____scales_actually/
Typa.
I dont use it for any multimedia.
I have a T30, which I still use. I love it.
mine’s an x31
We have been buying the z6x’s and somer others, including desktops.
x60s
where else can you buy memory fro a macbook pro, if not from apple? considering it is a laptop ?
One of my biggest problems with Windows notebooks is the time it takes to eliminnate all the crap I don’t want. IBM’s preload was the best I have encountered.
do the z60s you’re buying have the ev-do wireless card in ‘em?
Ok, bblater folks Expecting a bed any second
It is standard RAM.
yaakov also loves drinking zima and red bull
Ick.
yaakov why wouldnt you just do a clean install as soon as you get it
and it can be added by the user?
Zima is like alcoholic sprite and Red Bull isn’t kosher. Drivers.
do the z60s you’re buying have the ev-do wireless card in ‘em?
Nomex it seems I can get wireless almost anywhere and my cell phone in an emergency will work at about 128kp bbiab
No, we don’t have a need for it at this point.
damn
Yes, user serviceable.
cool
I’ve having massive problems with ‘em, and I wanted to see if I was the only one
ManKind, you are devoiced (Requested by TheTailor )
I am the only one in my department with any wide area broadband and it is EDGE to my smartphone.
Damn it
thanks, Hiddekel
Anyway, I really like the Mac hardware, and OS X, so I make it “home”. I also run XP, FreeBSD, Linux and Solaris.
a bed?
I work on like 12 flavors of windows because none of our clients run *nix\
Fortunately I have only a few oddball machines running 9x variants, mostly instruments and the like–the oddest ball of all is the mcahine running OS/2 Warp.
we had a few clients doing that we got them to move all those old boxes to VMs
o_O Yaakov… in god’s name, why???
some apps require crap like that hell, most home alarm monitoring stations use DOS
It is a very odd case. It is running one DOS program, in a window. I tried to “downgrade” to DOS but it simply will not run in any version of DOS I installed.
you tried dosbox’ing it?
grrrrrr… my ROM burner requires an ISA slot!
So I had to roll it back to Warp.
billfrugg is illegally burning roms
It will ONLY run in a Warp DOS window.
I develop
I can’t figure out why.
because OS/2 sucks
os/2 owned 3.`1 3.1
Yaakov… the lord has forsaken the techie
The company is out of business and the software runs an expensive sensor in a scanning electron microscope. When that machine dies the sensor will be trash.
How do they seperate suni and shiet at the HAJJ
they give them guns
damn! Nomex beat me to it!
Every ethernet cable will snag like a bat-a-rang… every app will operate illegally when all life depends on it… you are cursed.

Religion is a big nondeal
Eek… tech support for the boy… bbiab.
bunch o pegans and dont know it

The two boys presented O’Brien with information about the garter snake, and he agreed to sponsor the bill. The boys then helped file the bill at the State House and attended public hearings where they talked to other representatives.

President Ford WANTS OUT OF THIS BOX!!!

Bob Dole sounded like he was in line waiting heh

http://www.radarmagazine.com/features/2006/12/toys.php 10 deadliest toys remembered no surprise at the top of the list, lawn darts
twobar is here
I used to sharpen the arrows that had the suckers on them heh
i just found out that twobar was an R&B singer in the late 80s
now them were neat toys
I want one of the nuclear kits
my parents just bought a set of lawn darts from somewhere complete, box and all
i want a dippy bird
after they read that article, Nomex?
I remember playing with them as a kid
Bill all you need is an erector set and a chem set
see how high you can throw ‘em try to toss ‘em over the house
SweetLeaf, and duct tape and chewing gum
lawn darts are fun if you dont get hit by one if you do your stupid
but how can you catch them?
you let the lawn do that
with honey and a net
my way of playing lawn darts is more fun and exciting
im already excited
another fun game we’d play after lawn darts was to take my uncle’s croquet set and see who could pound the stakes the farthest into the ground he didn’t like that too much
BillFrugg’s way is to drop his pants and bend over.. and hope for “penetration” by the “lawn dart”
I hate that, delivery betteen 1-5 and its 4:57
my brother and I once got a bunch of screws and a drill with a phillips bit.. we raced each other to see how many screws we can put into the back yard wooden deck
haha we did that only it was the basement wall
mallets were good for hitting my sisters
this was well, premium wood deck
another was “what can we drop onto the spinning air conditioner fan”
My son is trying to get Xubuntu running on scavenged hardware. Unfortuately, we ended up with a wireless NIC that has a Broadcomm chipset which is a PAIN IN THE BUTT to make work.
my dad beat me good for that en one
We used to put shotgun shells in a vice in a vacant lot and try to hit rabbits with it heh
Yaakov yea linux!
Nomex, there’s a statement like that… “when the s___ hit’s the fan”
brand new central air conditioner, meet limestone rocks
hammer n nail
dayam.. outside of a barrel, that shotgun shell could have exploded outward!
It is even a pain in Windows. These cards have never been exactly stable. He did manage to get it to work but he is building a new, faster system with some stuff I scrounged for him.
yupper fun shit heh my uncle would have killed me
i’d look around for another nic
I used to do anything imaginable with firecrackers. Blowing up anthills, scaring cats etc..
This is all predicated on cost-free parts. There is a reason I got a hold of this NIC.
I need to scrounge myself an HP 9k or integrity
nharris, me too
cherry bomb in the cesspool
hahah
We made pipe bombs.
gosh it is going to be hard for the media to say anything nice about carter’s or clintons legacy
