I know CD has its flaws but what puts GTA on a higher level?
The fact that CD is a blatant copy of GTA.........

I have tried that numerous times without any luck. What is weird is this happened around the time when i bought my ipad, i went into the apple store to reserve it and i went to put in my apple id and it said it was not a valid apple id, so the guy told me just to recreate it with the same id

None of my friends want an Xbox, they all sold theirs, just don't play games anymore or never liked the xbox library. Mine will be going next to my Amiga, NES, classic GB series and Mega Drive in an air tight box for future play. I loved playing with my dads toys when I was a kid so it's probably only right that I do the same for my future kids!
Well lets see, you can play Amiga, NES and all GB and GBA games, plus alot more, on a modded XBOX...so dont relegate it to the dark, dank closet just yet?

I used to work at this store. The line for the 3GS launch was pitiful. Only about 30-40 people there when the store opened. There was a lot more for iPad and I expect there would be more for iPhone 4 as well. Who knows.

I don't know if I can upgrade it without losing my jailbreak that I did with greenp0ison like a few months ago when greenp0ison and limer1n had that fight and released stuff on the same two days.
Sorry for being so noob (if I am being n00b?) lol :)

Ahh bus-powered is the term I was looking for. Thank you for all the informative replies, much appreciated.
Just some final questions.. is there any advantage to using a outlet-powered HD over a portable bus-powered HD? And how much difference will I notice between a 5400RPM and a 7200RPM drive? The difference in size would be 250GB, since OWC only sells up to 750GB at 7200RPM, is it really worth the speed?
Heck, is there a reason to use a portable? Now that I'm thinking about it, it's convenient, but maybe unnecessary. What are you guys using? Bus-powered or outlet?
I don't know technically if there is an advantage of powered HDD's over bus powered HDD's, but I feel better with a powered drive knowing that I am not over-taxing my USB ports with added load.
You will notice a measurable but not extravagant difference in performance in a 7200RPM HDD over the 5400RPM HDD.
Only you can decide if the trade off in speed over capacity is worth it.
I have a few powered HDD's that I use for Time Machine backups, and I do not carry them around. They stay in one place 99% of the time. Therefore I have no need for a more portable storage device other than my laptop itself. Again, this is a decision only you can make because it comes down to personal preference. There are many options available to you no matter which way you decide.

I was experiencing the same problems as others after installing DP3.
That is, installation seemed ok, UNTIL it got to to "moving items into place" after which it hung.
I forced a restart, and ended up with the grey screen and spinning gear.
I followed insomniac321123's suggestion:
- rebooted to Snow Leopard
- opened the root Library folder
- opened the Updates folder and located the "lionswupdate.pkg"
Note: it was located in a folder named "041-0870"
The pathway is (root)/Library/Updates/041-0870/lionswupdate.pkg
- double-clicked that, re-ran the installer app.
- this time, when it got to the "moving items into place" segment, the task finished (in relatively short time) and I received "the installation was successful".
After this, I was able to restart and get a "good boot" to 10.7 build 11A444d.
Other observations:
When I _shut down_ Lion the first time after the update, it seemed to take extra time, with quite a bit of disk activity. I'm going to _guess_ that the problem may be due to files that normally get written at shutdown to be read at the next boot. These would normally be read and pre-loaded before the finder loaded, but could not be, hence the spinning wheel that prevented the finder from loading.
After I finally got a good boot after running the procedure above, and Lion corrected whatever it needed to correct at shutdown, subsequent shutdowns are "normal" again.

Their interests, especially in terms of performance, are vastly different even than other pro-users.
Not really. Unless you care to elaborate based on your own professional experience, this is not what I've seen in the scientific sector. When a lab or organization uses Macs it tends to be localized to a particular group and almost never runs OS X natively. But admittedly my experience is limited to the US National Labs, JPL, and CERN.
Again, just because there are Macs in science doesn't mean creation of a "Macs in Science" forum will lead to any productive discussion about it. Look at how dead the Distributed Computing forum is now.
CalBoy's idea is also a good one - if there isn't enough volume for "Macs in Higher Ed", is there enough volume for "Macs in the Workplace?".
"Macs in the Workplace" threads pop up every now and then, but they're in the vast minority.

I am considering getting the raid card for the Mac Pro (the Apple one)
Am i correct in saying that I can buy 4 SAS drives to fit the 4 bays instead and then raid them?
Just sticking to this question and ignoring any other factors, the Apple RAID Pro card does work with SAS disks.
nanofrog will probably be here shortly, but from what I have gathered, it's best not to buy Apple's RAID card due to expense and that it isn't too great. I also don't believe you can use SAS drives, as the bays still use standard SATA connectors.
I finally made it... :p
The Apple RAID Pro is definitely junk IMO (expensive for a 4 port card that only works with one OS, slow, and still has battery problems).
A 3rd party alternative offers more value for the money, as well as options, speed, and features (especially for recovery in the case of ATTO or Areca, as both of these keep a copy of the partition tables in the card's firmware - most don't).
If you opt for a third party RAID card (which is what's recommended) you have to use third party drive sleds (http://www.maxupgrades.com/istore/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&product_id=189%20) since the standard bays do not work with third party RAID controllers.
This is the right way to go card wise, and the adapter kit if the disks are to be internal (cheaper than an external enclosure).
for my work load im wondering if any benefit of moving from standard SATA to SAS anyway - its just email hosting, database, dhcp stuff really
SAS can definitely make a difference in Database usage, as they're designed for higher IOPS than SATA.
But the specifics will matter. So think of answers for the following questions (may not be all inclusive, but hopefully enough to get started):

I bought an mx laser mouse and it is amazing. Having all of those buttons becomes indispensible once you get used to it. I have a Macally ice keyboard and it is nice, similar to the powerbook keyboard. I saw the kensington in person and it also looks very nice and has some dedicated buttons for iTunes. That keyboard was not available but I would consider it because it looks pretty slick. They had it at CompUSA in Hawaii. Although I did not see it available here in Louisiana. Best of luck. And if you get that kenington let us know how it is.

China can be a funny place. Everyone's got a cellphone, and dropping a thousand USD on an iPhone 4 is just a part of staying up to date. But a couple days ago I saw something that showed just how popular the iPhone 4 is in Apple's fastest growing market.

I was checking out the new MBP upstairs when I saw an old man in cheap clothes, worn shoes and no socks using an iPhone with the original packaging plastic kept on with packing tape wrapped around to keep it on. He was scrolling through some sort of article.
The cult of Apple stretches its tendrils to every corner of the world. You can pick clothes up off the streets, but you gotta have an iPhone 4!

PageMaker?? That must be an OOOOLD book. Get a newer one. CSS works on all platforms, so, that shouldn't matter much. It's just that IE doesn't always interpret CSS properly, and often requires workarounds.

SETI@home uses distributed computing to analyze radio signals received from space, looking for signs of intelligence. It's one of the oldest distributed computing projects around but has yet to find E.T.
I ran SETI, both with the old software and the BOINC version, until I had plenty of units completed (and got a pretty certificate to show off). It worked fine both as a background application and as a screensaver.
I think many MacRumors SETI team members moved on to distributing computing projects in other areas, especially medical research, but I haven't been tracking this forum for a while.

Hi guys, I wrote a program that loads a couple web pages, but I need them to display in the iphone style. if you go to news.google.com on your mac, as compared with you iPhone it displays a different page. I really need this page to be displayed in the iPhone version in my program. How is this possible using the WebKit ?

that would be hilarious if:
1.) apple hadn't ALREADY changed the tech world so many times
a) apple I (first PC that changed the industry, and made every one follow in apple's footsteps)
b) macintosh (first PC with GUI that changed the industry, and made every one follow in apple's footsteps)
c) powerbook 100 (first modern portable computer)
d) iMac (first real pc to capture "trend" status)
e)apple quicktake (first truly consumer level digital camera)
f)apple newton (first truly consumer level PDA, and the godfather of all current smartphones, minus the phone, obviously.)
g)apple ipod (first digital music player that changed the industry, and made everyone follow in apple's footsteps)
h)apple iphone (first smartphone to incorporate a multi-touch screen and take full advantage of the phone as a mobile computing device)
i)apple ipad (first tablet PC that changed the industry, and made everyone follow in apple's footsteps)
I totally agree, outside of those areas, apple has made no significant impact on anyone's life. The question that you need to ask yourself is "How many products that apple has had very direct influence on do I use on a day to day basis?"
I'm assuming most, if not all of the previously mentioned products find their way into your life pretty regularly.
Thank you for actually changing the world...just like you said you would, apple.
I think you're misunderstanding the point of that, which was more to poke fun at the obsessive Apple users.
