Well... I was so anxious to get the Vertex 3 that I jumped on Pixmanias offer to deliver faster than any other mainland suppliers and even cheaper. Therefore I cancelled my order at always reliable Dustin.dk. I shouldn't have done that :S
What happend is this.
I cancel at Dustin having found better price and faster delivery.
I order at Pixmania.com
They write they'd be able to send the item from april 1st.
April 1st comes, but the date gets pushed to april 5th.
April 5th comes, but the date gets pushed to april 8th.
I write them to cancel my order, and here's where then chain comes off the wheel...
After cancelling, I immediately check my bank account, and I'll be damned... the bastards reserved the cash amount for the item.
First of all, I don't see a reason why they would reserve money in advance for an item they don't even have in stock and by pushing the dates give me the impression that they wont likely have it any time soon.
But the worst I think is reserving the money after I cancel... what the hell!?
I my nerdrage I ofcourse head straight out to look at reviews (yeah... next time do that before I buy something... I know) and atleast in Denmark where I live, Pixmania.com is getting hammered for bad service, faulty items, and a logistics circus when returning items (mind you, apparently you pay for returning the item yourself :O... hallo, are we living in the 90s??)
So do yourself the favor, don't buy at Pixmania, the reduced price is not worth the trouble you'll go through in case something is wrong :(

I took a look at the plist files, but couldn't find anything other than the icons that show up at the top in the middle. They're the ones with color. I did find one thing interesting, however - in the Resources folder are icons for Drop Box, as shown in the attachment. Maybe this indicates Apple purchasing Drop Box for integration into Lion. We'll have to see if this remains until the final, consumer, release.
Yeah that's the folder, and I didn't even notice the "Dropbox" icons lol. Very interesting.
I replaced a lot of those icons and sidebar icons from a frameworks-resource file with colored versions, haven't rebooted yet but I'm curious if it'll take. I replaced the iTunes sidebar icons with the .rsrc file, it'd be nice to have the same fix for Finder and Mail.

Are you ready to rumble with an SMP client? ARE YOU?! Well, let us see what the high performance FAQ (http://folding.stanford.edu/FAQ-highperformance.html) has to say;
November 2006 The SMP client is now looking good enough that we are starting a more broad alpha test outside of Stanford. If that looks good, we will move to a broader beta test of this new client.
Interesting! Very interesting! Hope to see you there! :)

Intimidation
What's your point? The legality of jb has already been established.
To sue someone, you have to know who they are so you can serve them. What's Apple going to do, sue comex? chpwn? Apple doesn't know who they are. Sony knew who geohot was because he's an attention whore.
But I forgot, it's much more attention grabbing and easier to get people to donate if you scare people.

seriosly no Vancouver thread yet ?
So what will it be?
Apple store vs Best buy or Futureshop ?
I want to go to the Apple store in Pacific centre but am afraid that I won't stand a chance unless I started lining up in the wee hours of morning
I like the best buy line/ticket system (and I am guessing futureshop will have something similar as well? They did for boxing day)
so where are you guys going?

Yes, I'm going to make a moral judgement - if you've just bought a $1200+ computer surely you can afford the $60 to get the three iWork apps from the App Store. If it's tapped out your bank account, wait a few weeks and save up for it.
You're pirating software. Don't.

blevins321, those are nice photos, good subject matter and exposure - but I would classify them as snapshots rather than stock or competition grade pictures.
Composition: All four photos have the subject placed directly in the middle of the image - it's very matter-of-fact, and not interesting to the eye.
Attention to detail: For stock or competition you can't have mistakes in your images. The cheetahs are missing their tails, the deer seems to have only one horn (or something odd going on with it's ear), two of the camels are missing rear feet - and I can see the top of a landrover over the next hill.
Finish: To take pictures to the next level you have to do some post processing to make sure brightness, contrast, saturation and sharpness are all good. These images could all do with some work.
I don't want to put you off - you're enthusiastic about your photography, which is great. Why not start entering photo competitions (plenty of photo forums online that do competitions) so that you can get feedback to help you improve? Also try to look at your pictures a lot more critically.

I have upgrade my iBook OS, from OS922 to 10.3.8.
(iBook G3 800 MHz, 384 Mb SDRAM, HD 40Gb, ADSL256)
Before I erased all data on my hard disk to zero. Clean installation also.
After that, as a result, I have a corrupted display and a freezed iBook!
(see attached...)
BUT, if I boot the iBook without extensions, (safe boot),
it's ok....
I have no ideas how to solve this bug. I tried to re install twice, no more success... I run Disk Utility, TechToolsPro, DiskWarrior, nothing special...
I think to understand a System log could help.
What does <The "HasShadow" window property is obsolete> mean?
How, and where learn to use those system log?
I usually manage well my troobleshootings, but I'm not at all experienced in Unix, BSD, and System log.

Is ATY the culprit? But how to debug this?

gnasher said to print out the call which I had done previous. There are no typos. But in fact I do have the same problem running it from the command line. Where does the & go?
You have a loop. The "system" command is executed each time in the loop. So when you enter "Q" to exit the loop, all the commands are executed again. That's what the printf should have shown you.
So what happens when you execute the second system () call? I don't expect it to work. I expect it to overwrite the output of the first system () command.

Is it just the picture, or is that shelf ready to go?
Nice collections BTW. I had about 500 DVDs from the States, but since i live in Greece now, they wont play on my PS3 I bought here, so I converted them all, and have them stored on my external drive.
Anyone have any ideas what I should do with them? I have them in two boxes in the garage.
