Its now 9.50 and the queue is forming well infront of the Apple store,touchwood. I have heard rumours abound that white models are limited and iPad stock isn't as many here as the bigger london stores, so if your planning to be a late comer cancelled your meetings, leave work early or just cry off ill, because your going to be waiting in line a long time and your going to be very angry if stock has gone. people started turning up near 6.30am and the line is getting bigger.

Good. Pay your taxes amazon. Why should they not have to? If there were a federal law in place they would have no other options. No more tax breaks for corporations.
Don't you mean pay your taxes Amazon customers? The reprieve was on people living in SC not having to pay sales tax on things they buy via Amazon.

Some of my favs...
Super Stardust HD
PixelJunk Monsters
PixelJunk Eden
PixelJunk Shooter
Echochrome
Super Stardust is a twin-stick shooter that is a ton of fun and quite easy to learn. I really enjoy the PixelJunk games. Shooter is probably the best one, but it is a bit short. Eden is fun, but the difficulty ramps up to just BRUTAL levels. Monsters is great if you like "Tower Defense" games. Echocrome is a really neat puzzle game.
I was actually considering Pixeljunk Eden. It seemed pretty fun though I don't know if I can deal with a brutal difficulty level. :(

Thx for your replies - but that's a bummer :(
Had hoped it would work.
Then I will wait until MacPro gets SATA 3 support with my purchase. Buying an expensive MacPro tower with no support for SATA 3 and no boot support for PCI express SSD cards seems crazy to me to be quite honest !
Scr_ew Thunderbolt, but I really do need SATA 3 support as I'm a HDD/SSD geek :)
Coming from the self building PC tower world Apple sure is very very limited in what ways you can upgrade these machines.
If not for all the hackingtosh trouble I would've gone that way.
Must say I now re-re-re consider going back to Win 7 Lian Li Alu tower with PCI express X2 Revodrive as bo�te drive, 2 Vertex 3 240 gb for programs and often used doc, sheet, pic and database files, 2 3 tb WD Caviar Black HDD for music & movies, i7 2600 k Sandybridge CPU, Asus Maximus mobo, 1000 watt gold plated Corsair psu, 32 GB 1600 MHz DDR 3 ram, Radeon 6970 2 gb DDR 3 GPU, 2 ACD 27" displays and one matte Dell 2711 27" display in the middle - and then still have money left over :)
I will still miss OSx darn much though, but pheeewww I feel like I'm slamming my head against a wall with all the current mac products :(
iMac outdated - yeahhhh Sandy will come in 2-3-4-4-6-7-8-9-10 weeks time or 3 months or....
MacPro outdated but NO new xeon cpu untill late 2011 early 2012 :(
MBP updated - but too big compared to MBA for travel and not expandable enough as desktop replacement for my needs :(
MBA - PERFECT as travel mate had it had backlit keys, now it's only 99% perfection !

"Macintosh"
"Macintos[char++]"
"Macintos[int++]"
"Macintosh[char++]"
"Macintosh[int++]"
That sounds scary... fortunately if you password is long enough it would take a lot to get it up to the last digit. Thats pretty strange though. I guess if I had a 1 letter password anything would work?
Hmmmm.... You probably should report this to apple!

Food Packaging is a HUGELY moot topic here in the UK.
Namely fresh goods (fruit/veg/meats etc) and how completely wastefully packaged up they have all become. It disgusts me when for example I see fruit such as apples or pears, sat in polystyrene trays and then shrink wrapped and labelled up!
Chances are, you are actually paying more for this packaging than the products within, let alone the negative impacts it has on the environment in terms of production and (if any) recycling.
Same applies with a whole myriad of food types, and its more a cultural issue perhaps than anything. We have become obsessed with a certain expectation of 'perfection' and that everything must be delivered and presented to us in ship shape condition, free of artifacts or the possibility of contamination.
It would be great to see this issue addressed (chiefly in supermarkets might I add) face on, and it might be more a campaign of advertising than perhaps packaging (of the type I mention)
If however, certain packaging is to be dropped it will have to be replaced with something that still fulfils certain levels of quality & protection etc. This is certainly a design challenge on a few levels, but if there is one thing designers are good at, its thinking laterally about a problem and actually seeing the negatives in existing products/systems etc as being fantastic gateways for improvement.
Just my two pennies!
Good luck with your project.

Yeah - I must have done something stupid - I really can't think how I did it though. I am usually really careful and have been doing this job for over 15 years - but maybe the long hours are taking their toll.
Thanks for the help - me having a panic attack doesn't get the job finished. I guess I'll just have to try to work out what went wrong and make sure it doesn't happen again.
On that note - can you guys recommend a good backup system (seperate from my hard drive)? It needs to be BIG - my current job folder is 16gb - lots of photoshop files etc. And I need to be able to back up/replace after each major change or at the end of the day.

So H.264 is a very compressed format. That sets off a flag right there. Ideally you wouldn't be provided footage in such a lossy format.
Taking the H.264 footage and converting it to DV NTSC is essentially compressing it again (albeit a lesser compression), but it is still increasing the generation count. Instead, I would try throwing it into compressor and transcoding to apple prores 422. That should hopefully alleviate any loss of quality.
But sadly we don't live in an ideal world :) And this is footage given out for television usage, believe it or not...(do CBS Sunday Morning and the Today Show really like getting footage in compressed h.264?)
I'll try prores 422. My thought was that as the the other footage is DVPro NTSC converting it to DV NTSC would be transcoding to a closely matching format. But it didn't seem to help any...

Is there any way I could delete the windows partition and have another shot at installing it?
And is it best to download the support software, instead of relying on the disc?

Apparently its real and coming soon enough, it will be interesting to see how RE4 plays on the Wii but it is a little bit disappointing to see yet another Cube port. Still for those who missed it on Cube and PS2 they are in for a hell of a ride and even the RE4 vets might like to give it yet another go :).
Oh and this line really made me giggle:
"The producers of the Wii version revealed to Famitsu that one of their goals is to allow families who play the Wii together to experience Resident Evil. The game will include "Easy" and "Amateur" difficulty settings, selectable from the start, that will make aiming easier and keep your life from depleting too fast."
Putting an easy mode so the whole family can play? Isn't this an M-Rated game with tons of gore, horror and inappropriate content for minors and unappealing content for other family members? Heck, Nintendo might be taking the whole "family" thing (which I think is downright ridiculous) too far.
Sorry I just realized this is already in another thread :o

OK, that explains why I couldn't replicate the problem with my 6-character password. But there's nothing important on my system so I think I can wait for a fix rather than change (and subsequently forget) my password.
It'll be interesting to try this after installing the 14/7/03 security update. It apparently fixes the 2048 character overflow in the screensaver password, but there's a (small) chance it'll fix this one too.

Infractions are semi-automated reminders, which the moderators usually use instead of individually written private message to save time, ensure consistency, and to maintain our records. Some forum sites use infractions with associated "points" to ban users when they reach a certain threshold, but we don't. Common sense tells us that warnings and reminders are usually all that's needed when users stray outside the rules (anything from minor issues to major violations).
If a user consistently breaks a rule and ignores warnings then the moderators look at the seriousness of the rule and the violations, the individual circumstances, the user's overall history, and any communications from the user to decide if they think the user can be convinced to observe the rules using further discipline, typically a temporary forum suspension. If the bad habits still don't change then a permanent ban is eventually called for. This path of escalation is necessarily faster for serious problems but is intended to give users a chance to comply as well as to understand what's expected of them under the rules.

Accepting offers...and I may be interested in trading for a silver or green mini pending how much somebody actually wants for it in trade value. It would just be a spare so I'm not going to credit anybody a large amount but....let me know what you've got and we'll go from there. No Nanos.
