Are you wanting just one world-editable article each week, or a few? I think having about 5 per week would be more advantageous since a single article represents such a small portion of the Guides, and we have enough people to watch over changes. There are only so many improvements that can be made to one article, so a week seems like a long time to focus on a single page. Take for example the Aperture article, which has only had one change in the last 6 days yet has been the only featured guide during that period.

Finally, would there be a set time each week for the article selection to change, and would it be just you or all the sysops choosing them? If the latter, would there be prior discussion as to which articles to select (eg in the WorldEdit talk page), or would sysops just add articles without consultation?


I think 5-7 articles a week would be great to have world-editable.

I think that Tuesday would be... a fitting day to change the guides. And talking about them first would be MUCH better than random addition. :)

(Yeah, this is an old thread, but I've been in Israel for the past 10 days...)

Did you try it without reloading anything?

Is there any reason you can't figure out how to use copy paste from the screenshot within preview?

No, I guess not. I could probably do copy and paste. I was trying to use the screen shot feature instead to see how it works.

I had a similar experience at Somerset in Michigan. I walked out after 4 hours when only 20 people had been processed. It was really disheartening. I agree that they should have either scrapped the walk-in line or processed them at an equal speed until the 100 or so phones they had were gone. Employees kept encouraging us that it would only take "a few hours" in the walk-in line, too. It was just such an unfair process. Why do walk-ins at all? Ugh.

I called the store today, and of course they "got a new shipment." Pretty disgusted with Apple right now. I get having a low supply to increase demand, but do you really need to tease the people who are so loyal to your company that they show up hours before your store opens? Cruel.

Most applications will have a log which will record errors and other information. It would be worth clearing out to see if you can gain some space :)

Where is the log located and how big can the logs get over time for a computer 5 years old.

I'm thinking of buying some stock in nuclear.

Why would you be able to, apple owes you nothing and you aren't entitled to anything either.

It's not an unreasonable expectation. Apple might not 'owe' you anything - but at this stage the OP hasn't made the purchase - they are trying to negotiate the purchase. Apple have announced they are updating software soon, OP could wait and buy later, or buy now. Apple would prefer buy now, so it's an exchange, OP agrees not to hold off on his purchase, Apple agrees to give him free software (the marginal cost of which, by the way, is essentially nil).

Or should we not try to negotiate with the almighty Apple gods?

i was using my iBook (800, 32vram, 128mb ram-long story, don't ask...i really want 640mb but i can't put in any RAM) with OS X 10.2.6 on it when i opened up iChat AV and realized that i couldn't do audio chats. So i wondered what the ******* was going on and took a peek in System Preferences and found out that the iBook thought that there was no sound input or output device. That's weird...because earlier today with the same computer i was chatting with someone using the built in mic and listening to Evanescence using the speakers. Can anyone help?

Had it since the day it came out via dodgy methods.

Like people have said, no reason to limit it to NA up to now ...

Dodgy methods? Couldnt you have just signed up for a US iTunes account and downloaded it, then switched back to your normal one? That's how most non-US people got it easly.

The Maxtor in my PM sounds like a hamster on a wheel compared to my nice, quiet Seagate.

Heh heh. Free pet sounds like value for money though. :-)

I'm looking at buying from ebuyer.co.uk and the user reviews on there for the WD and the Seagate both seem pretty good so I'll get one or the other.

Thanks for the input.

Well my experience today was interesting. Drug my kid out to wait in line and was number 40 to 50. It started pouring down rain and they took our name and number and so we waited in the truck. The line started moving so we got in and took our place where it was dry. Well they sold out and reserved a 16gb one for me since they were getting no 32s in. They called to tell me that the phone was in and I asked if by chance they had some 32s. Well low and behold they did. I got my 32 After a total of four hours.

Awesome

I am not sure if this is the right section.

I like giving away free information based on my experiences. I wish more people did it so I wouldn't have to buy laptop parts from bad suppliers.

I know people like t fix things themselves. What I would like to do here is have a list of good suppliers for certain parts where the end user can buy parts for their Macbook one at a time, and a list of ones to avoid, with the reasons why. My experiences will be devoid of bias, personal remarks, and stick to places where I have had the unfortunate experience of doing repeat business.

I will update this list over time, and I encourage others to chime in. there are many suppliers I have used not listed here since I don't have all the names and information ready off hand.

I am only listing suppliers of use to people looking to buy one part, not places that specialize in quantities of 50+, as that is useless to joe-blow looking to fix his out of warranty laptop.

The hall of fame:

sunvalleytek/sunvalleyus/smartlaptopparts(on ebay)

They have occasionally sent out the incorrect screen, when they did, they paid for return shipping. They offer amazing prices, and a great RMA process

screenaid(on ebay)

see sunvalleyus. They are also great for local pickup in NYC. Unlike sunvalleyus, they do not ship the model they give you in the title. They ship a samsung or something else. For the 13.3" macbook, they do not ship the regular model samsung apple uses. It looks the same to me, but the brightness/dim buttons` on the keyboard will not work unless you have some drivers/a newer OSX installed.

izashop (on ebay)

small things like top cases, bezels, etc. fast shipping, best prices, good parts.

screencountry

Their prices fluctuate greatly, which is unfortunate. However, they have a plethora of LCDs to select from, the occasional quantity discount, great shipping rates, and decent support.

The hall of SHAME:

blisscomputers/expresslcdscreens/browngranite

they claim to use "compatible" parts. However, what they send out is often ****. no model, no name junk with

- bars down the left side of the LCD
- poor fit
- washed out colors

I have, and others have, been roped into buying from them on numerous occasion. I am hoping someone I heard from recently who went through the experience I did will chime in here. Their parts are trash. They are notorious for the 15.4" LED LCDs that go for $177.

It is fine to sell alternative compatible models, but they truly stretch the definition of compatible. screencountry does this with a few LCDs, but they ship out ones where there is no visible difference, of established brand names and well known models.

ultradrives(ebay)

Imagine you buy part A. The eBay ad claims 13 available and a day later you'll receive an email with "GREAT NEWS!" claiming he's totally out of them, but that he can upgrade you to part B. You say sure, then he asks for more money. But you agreed to the price for part A. It's classic bait & switch, while being careless on eBay I made the mistake of using him a few times.

Pretty cool that you got it for free. I'd quite like an old iMac, to poke around it.

Yes. I'm using the Power Support Crystal Clear

Can any of the 2011 iMac owners check if any of the components in their newly bought iMac operate underclocked?

Apple has, in the past, been known to do this to maintain a certain power consumption or thermal level.

This could explain some of the "low" scores we are seeing of late.

nope they are fine and stock CPUs

2.5Ghz/2.7Ghz i5s are 65watts and good performance CPUs

okay lets go with 1 question your server has 2 hdds do you clone one to the other?
