This kind of legislation is based on the bizarre notion that gay people are sexual perverts are looking for recruits. Also, if the proponets of this bill really wanted "equality", then they would be increasing the funding for GLBT support programs, not the other way around.
It is shocking how ignorant and backward many of our lawmakers are.

Whoa, I'm all for that! Think the last "olympic" style game I played was the Winter Olympics on the Amiga, and before that Starfish Olympics (IIRC?) was a great silly game.
Sonic in SSBB? I just can't picture Sonic in a well made 3D game.

There definitely are some different ideaologies about program design in switching from Windows to Mac (or vise versa) but general concepts are pretty much identical. If you're like me and started out on DOS (and still comfortable using the keyboard to do almost everything) you'll find it difficult to get around in MacOSX because menus simply do not activate when you hit the Alt (or Cmd) key. But of course most people started with graphical OSes and use the mouse more than I do, so it's an easy switch for them.
Just a few things I would suggest to keep in mind:
1) Mac's do support multi-button mice, they just don't ship with them. In my experience it's helpful to get one, otherwise you have to become proficient using a combination of the mouse and the keyboard to show context menus on desktop icons.
2) The PC's ALT key is the Mac's CMD ("open apple") key for the most part.
3) Most MacOS X programs do not fully exit when you close them, which allows them to "re-open" much faster. MacOS X, being a powerful UNIX system at its core, has GREAT memory management so it's okay to leave these active-but-not-visible programs running all day if you like.
4) If an app does lock up (it happened to me a few times in OSX 10.2 and only once or twice in 10.3) you can still click off that program window and then click onto the Apple menu at upper-left and select "Force Quit". This is very similar to Windows' Task Manager and allows you to kill a stuck program.
5) Check out sites such as www.versiontracker.com and http://osx.hyperjeff.net/Apps/types.php for lots of MacOS X freeware and shareware programs.
6) And yes, if you do have a friend or colleage who runs Mac and also has Windows experience, ask them to if they'd be willing to answer the questions you'll have. I cannot tell you how valuable that was for me in the first few weeks with my Macintosh.
Oh and 7) Keep in mind that this is not an either/or situation. You CAN have both a PC and a Macintosh. I run mind through a KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) switch so that I can run both side by side on my desktop with only one monitor, keyboard and mouse.

There are billboards around here Erie for months too. Like I said before, when I get the time and remember my camera I'll take a picture of it.
Have you seen the Atheists billboard in Cali and other places? (I'll try to dig up a pic of it. I saw it on CNN.) It basicly says party with us on May 21 & 22. LOL

Hello all,
I got my iPad today and promptly installed AIM logging in with the same username as my laptop so I can occasionally leave my room and continue a conversation on my iPad in the living room.
However, it seems like AIM on my iPad is the only client that gets my messages. Usually logging in at two+ locations will have any IMs received at both locations, but I only get them on my iPad. When I look at my laptop, I can see the person is typing but am not getting anything. I checked the settings on AIM and Adium but nothing stands out.
Odd thing is my roommate set up the same approach with AIM and Adium on his iPad and laptop and he has no problems.
Could anyone help?

The component adapter only work with apps that support them. Odds are the MLB app doesn't support that adapter. You may want to check on the MLB app web page to see. The video app should work with the component adapter. You may want to test it with that app just to check.

First impressions:
I like the version with the blue colored area.
The placement of "consultant" seems odd to me. I'm not sure if you're a Sales Rep Consultant (and it didn't fit on one line), or if you're a Sales Rep and a Consultant.
I'd be curious to see what the card looks like if the letters within the blue area were black rather than the light color.
Thanks for your opinion.
I have added image with black text replace the lighter colour. (Image 3)
I added consultant there because my role is kind of both, but more of a rep than a consultant (mainly added it because I wanted to cover the empty space).
Also, I added a green business card for a fruit and vege business. Is it too green in your opinion? As you can see Im a fan of 2-3 colours per image only ^^''
Again, appreciate the help.

I am sorry if this is already posted, but I have a quick question. A friend of mines has the 2010 13" 2.4GHz model with all the standard specs no upgrade. Its in like new condition with the box and the accessories he bought his in Nov. from Microcenter when they was on sale for $999.99. He looking to sell it to get the i5. I trying to talk him out of it because he only uses it for basic stuff and its not worth the upgrade. But he wants to know a good price to sell it for he offered it to me for $700 and told me if anyone else wants it $900. But he hasn't gotten any serious buyers. What do you guys think a good sales price should be. He wants to pay as little out his pocket for the new 1. I was thinking of buying it myself but I dont think I would make much money off it. Because I just bought mines in Jan and i am perfectly fine with mines. So just need some advice for a good reasonable price point thanks.

I have an old iBook G3 (500Mhz 576MB RAM 10GB HD) that isn't so useful to me now... but someone mentioned I might be able to make use of it and set it up as a file server... It has firewire, which I realized is a big plus.. none of my PCs have it...
Well, down to business... I have a external eSATA/FireWire Terabyte HD and was planning on hooking it up to the iBook, and hooking that up to my airport extreme. I have heard of some people who have reservations about leaving a laptop on 24/7... but really, the laptop won't be doing much, the HD on the laptop will only be used for the OS (would it cause any problems if the laptop's HD isn't that reliable? it'll only be used to boot). The iBook will pretty much be just a router... to connect, and manage access to the external drive. That's essentially all it's gonna do. Does anyone have any experience in this area?

Click, and click everywhere! If it appears it can be clicked, click it. If it appears it can't, click anyway.
I learnt Mac OS X back in 2001 by myself just by experimenting and exploring. There is very little in Mac OS X that you can damage irreparably simply by fiddling unless you are a Unix freak.
MacOSXHints.com and friends were my best bet for hard to work out problems and never be afraid to ask a Mac user a question, they are generally quite friendly and willing to help you out.

I really hate the "Windows" key...
I like better "command" key than "apple" key. Portuguese keyboards (at least) don't have the apple logo and I think it looks childish.
Also, I don't understand the "Option" key...
My keyboard says "fn", "ctrl", "alt" with it's symbol of a Z and a trace and "cmd" key, with that funky square...

FileVault places the contents of your home folder in an encrypted disk image. It cannot have any affect on the ability to erase your drive. Do realize, however, that your data will be gone if you format the drive. I assume you recognize that, but just want to be certain.
