Wow, a lot of unethical people on here. This is totally a scam, and the seller relied on the buyer assuming he was a normal upstanding human being who was selling a legitimate product. There is no way that is right, ethical, or moral. The seller deserves to be jailed.
Yeah people here are crazy. Although given how keen so many people here on committing various crimes without and regret or concern, it is not surprising.

Almost word-for-word, the exact same argument that was made by Luddites against these fancy, new-fangled mouse and GUI-based computers back in the mid-80s.
I don't think that barmann was making a case against a new technology that didn't fit the old ways like when mice were first introduced. His point was that as much as iPad fanboys want it to be the coolist thing ever that will replace all those old-fashioned computers there are differences in machines between consumer ones and those used by professionals.
It's not expected that consumers are going to know the short comings of their iPads any more than they know the shortcomings of their flat screen TVs. Even the new MBPs have professional use issue because of their displays. The MBPs are of limited pro use as long as one knows their limitations where as the iPad is of almost no pro use other than "look at this".
One really funny thing is all devices now that can make an iPad seem like a laptop! Boxes that keyboards fit into and cases that stand up are laughable because as nice as an iPad is it really sucks as a computer compared to the cheapest Air or MBP.

Hi guys, just a quicky, Ive got a new case for my old 2006 mb white (lid, bottom case, keyboard/track pad and bezel) my question is this will these items fit my machine?
I believe the machine is an energy-star model but im not sure if the bits of case are, is there a difference between the external cases? the holes etc all appear to mach up with my old case.
thanks in advance

He doesn't need to actually drive that trip to be skeptical of your claim of a thousand miles on a tank of gas. Frankly, I'm skeptical of it too.
Okay, but you're claiming double that. Not 10% more or 20% more - double.
No. I'm claiming I got to Phoenix on half a tank of gas which is entirely doable and possible, if you know how to drive properly on freeways. Lead foots won't pull it off. Just because I got there with half a tank to spare after 500 miles does not automatically equate to 1000 on a full tank. Again, you people need to stop riding the numbers. It's not that simple.
After I got to Phoenix it was all city streets. The remainder of the gas burned out rather quickly. I'd say I was able to do a total of about 600 miles when it was all said and done. Again, the car is not burning gas if you're not pressing the accelerator. If the car is already going 80 MPH on a stretch, there's little need to press the accelerator constantly. All you have to do is tap it every so often to keep the car's momentum going, but in the meantime you're still traveling 80 MPH. You might only burn a quarter's worth of gas if you know how to not ride the accelerator.
Point being - it CAN be done, so don't tell me the Altima is less efficient than the Versa.

People are seriously complaining about $3? I mean, Jesus. I understand wanting bug fixes and stuff for a version for free. But you really expect this guy to give you major updates for free, when this is probably his career at this point?! Do him, yourself and the rest of us that have to listen to you a favor.. go use another Twitter app and shut up. He�s already said if he could, he would gladly offer an upgrade price for 1.x users.. but that�s not on him. That�s Apple and the app store.

What I mean is that people captured as part of the "war on terrorism" should be treat as you would treat prisoners of war and should not be tortured under any circumstances.
But the whole point is that in a "regular" war, we are far more likely to capture regular grunts or low level officers who have limited intelligence to provide.
Don't you think capturing KSM, who was one of the leaders of Al Qaeda is very different ? The guy obviously knows a great deal, and obviously will not easily divulge that information.

I'm thinking about updating the graphics card for my Mac Pro. I currently have a card from ATI Radeon HD 4800 series, and I need a new card especially for playing the newest games with the highest settings on Boot Camp. What card would you suggest for me? I guess I could also use more RAM, how should I proceed with that?

Rumsfeld has said it wasn't used.
Actually he was just on O'Reilly claiming that statement was taken out of context, and stating plain as day that KSM was waterboarded by the CIA.

educating people as an industry? Who does jobs think he is? Most of the population may be below average to his economical standards... but what the f was that? People know more than he thinks... It is simple for Apple to track anyone on a cellular network and using an iPhone... but it isn't worth the legal risk is it, if the person's' being tracked isn't worth it... but if Apple or anyone really wanted to... there is nothing to stop it with the infrastructure of iOS and cellular networks today...
What proportion of iPhone users do you think understand what a cache is? How about what cell tower triangulation is? How about the Core Location framework? Most people don't understand the finer points of how their phone works. The vast majority don't care and just want it to work and not do anything nefarious. As phones get smarter, there are only going to be more things that people don't understand - I think he makes a fair point.

Stridder44,
You don't have to pay $100/year for DotMac.
I posted a tutorial here on how to save 20% to 50% on DotMac:

Cool if you have it already I guess. I could never find the value in the $99 for a .Mac account tho...
email? There are plenty of free email options avalible. Storage? It's nifty but really only if you have a fast internet connection (otherwise I think it'd be smarter to spend that $99 toward a flash card or something). Virus protection? Useful perhaps, what with all the viruses on Macs now-a-days.

I sold a 1,1 motherboard on ebay 3-4 weeks ago, and the seller has just come back to me saying the onboard doesnt work and wants a refund.
It was listed as used, tested and powers on ok.
1 - Anyone dare to hazard a guess at the likely outcome.
2 - Do all USB connections go through the same controller / PCB?
3 - Are there any 'resets' to be had that might correct this issue?
thanks

I do understand law.
In civil court....you are correct. In criminal court...no dice. In a criminal court the prosector has to prove that the defendant has violated the LETTER OF LAW. Clearly the seller didn't in this case.
Civil court judges have much more freedom to interpret law (and intent) than criminal.
I think the seller did violate the law.
Description says Verizon.
