I know the iBook G4 that I owned had a such a painful process to swap the drive that I paid Microcenter to replace it. I think most of the G3/G4 portables from Apple had you basically take the whole laptop apart to get at the drive. On the other hand, I have replaced the drive on the white MacBook myself.

For those that don't know. The Macintosh IIfx was probably the largest desktop mac ever sold. Granted the current Mac Pro or a PowerMac 9500 are probably bigger, but they are supposed to go under your desk.

come on. if you're gonna help people shoot themselves in the foot, do it right:

I graduated college with a degree in Electrical Engineering. I have the sad joke, that I have now forgotten more math than most people learn. But the fact is that I don't use the really complex math I learned and have tools that will do the simple math for me.

2a Trying to get your Javascript to work in Facebook's sandboxed version (FBJS) only make the nightmare worse.

It does, though I'm a firewire loving Apple fanboy. :)

At one point the two standards were close in price. These days firewire case are getting rare and more expensive while usb case are pretty cheap.

I would say Children of Men was the last one I saw that meet your conditions.

If you haven't already do a

setenv COMMAND_MODE unix2003

That will make ps -ef work on OS X.

What gets me about AoD is that line wasn't in the director's cut. I believe the commentary track makes make mention that they like the revised line better than the original "I'm not that good."

I think the proper acronym is DINK - Dual Income No Kids. This led me to come up with the SINKING acronym for an old coworker. It stands for Single Income No Kids Incredibly Needy Girlfriend. :)

This is probably one of the few threads where this meme is on topic. To put this in perspective we are probably the native american indians greeting the european explorers. And we know how well that turned out for them.

And yet I bought an Apple desktop this year. Got a mini cause I couldn't justify buying a Pro. If Apple was selling single CPU mATX type systems priced and spec'd about the same as the iMac line I would have bought one. I not asking that Apple sell this kind of computer for dirt cheap or to cut their profit margins. Honestly, Apple could sell it through the online store only and keep out of the brick and mortar stores. I just want a computer that would be the equivalent of the $1600 PowerMac I could get years ago.

I'm with the parent. I had a MDD G4 until recently. I broke down and got one of the new minis cause it finally supported dual monitors. Though I wish Apple had a $1600 box that I could expand down the line. With 1 PCIe, 1-2 PCI, and 2-4 drive bays. I would have gladly given Apple the extra $1000 for that box. Especially if I could have thrown in different processors. My PowerMac 7500 was great for the time, I had 601, 604, dual 604, and g3 processors in that box.

I feel there is a hole in the mac line that the pro-sumer wants. Yes, it may be a bit harder to support with generic hardware. Apple can be dicks and claim to only provide support for official hardware. As I said before that's the Mac I want to buy.

This is one of the things that sold me on TiVo the first year I had it. I added "The Tick" to my season pass and it got every episode regardless of where Fox moved it to. Trying to keep up with scheduling moves that Fox makes is a nightmare.

As for Futurama, at the end they stuck it on Sunday night at 7pm. At best you got to see the show already in progress because of football running long.
