Not as big a hassle as yours but I ordered a TV off pixmania (UK) and it came with a Euro plug. Phoned to complain and they sent me an adapter.
Not a big deal but I was a bit miffed that they didnt advertise it as Eur plug. I'm a bit paranoid about having it plugged to an adapter all the time (not sure why!)
Pixmania is owned by DSGi - yes, the dreaded Currys, PC World cowboys!!
I was once going to buy a camera from there because it was so cheap. Thankfully, the 'If it's too good to be true ..." adage sprang to mind didn't go through with it.

I suggest you make some wild and unsubstantiated claims about Macs and PC's or something similar to get it started with a nice big flame-war.
How about one of these:
2.5ghz G5 is just an overclocked 2.0. Otherwise why would it need to be watercooled?
It's about time Apple made a Phone/PDA
Apple ought just get real and start using Intel/AMD and get their new cases redesigned by Alienware. OH and get some decent games...
That sort of thing ought to do nicely. ;)
I would kinda like to find a website where flame wars were cherished, trolls were honored, and bitter insults were extolled.
Of course, I appreciate and enjoy the close community that has formed here too much to want MacRumors to be that site, but I would like my occassional craving for flaming to be satisfied somewhere.

Panic Software (www.panic.com (http://www.panic.com/)) gets my vote. I think their software is great and the company seems young and fun too - seems to reflect the general mac user base very well..!
Go, Panic, Go.

Unfortunately there does not seem to be a good way to sync most LG phones with a mac computer. The only thing I have come across is Bit Pim and its reviews are pretty spotty.
Well, I don't know. Is it really that hard to manually do it?

as long as you have money...theyll sell it to you..trust me
Im hoping that the lines arent too bad. I pre-ordered online..although it doesnt seem to make any difference.
Im really hoping that the lack of a subsidy and the fact that they are shipping them from the website will make the lines almost nonexistent.....but im thinking thats probably not gonna happen. I dont even know when my local mall opens..i guess they would open early enough to let people line up? who knows..

Do you still live at home with your parents, or are you away at school? If you rent an apartment you should be able to buy renters insurance and purchase additional coverage for your gear. I did this while I was away at school and renting an apartment. It was only a few extra bucks a month for the extra coverage. If you still live with your parents they can buy additional coverage on their property insurance.

I'll be at the ardmore store with my girlfriend! I'll be the long haired hippy looking teenager. I should get a paper with my macrumors user name on it and take it to my shirt!
Or maybe just a sign that says macrumors on it so we can meet up with each other.
What time would be a good time to start waiting outside, I want to make sure I get a shirt.

Hey uknick, firstly welcome to MacRumors ;)
Yeah, I'm going to wait and order mine. I'm not rushing in to it. I'll order mine online also, unless I have good reason to pop in to town and buy the iPad2 from the local Bristol store. I'm still wondering if I really need it or not. Still deciding, but temptation is strong! :rolleyes:

Last night I was in Walmart picking up Super Paper Mario and the guy working there says, "So you got one of those Wii things, huh?." I replied, "Yeah, do you have one yet." He says, "No, we can't keep them in stock. We still have people lining up at midnight to get them. Every shipment is sold within 4 hours."
This is in a very small town. A little ol' redneck town in Florida. This thing is incredible.

That falls under "esoteric knowledge that nobody should ever bother with". Which means it immediately fails a code review, just like someone writing "a + 1 << i" and expecting people to know which operator has higher precedence.
In all honesty I think that's a bit harsh. Anyone who uses memcpy a lot should know what it returns (if you don't and just ignore the returned value then you don't know what you are returning which I think is very bad practice). Anyone who does not use it a lot can be expected to lookup the documentation: that's what I did as soon as I opened this thread.

I think in general a slightly older upper-level body is a better investment than a modern entry-level. I got a 40D recently (for not much more than what I paid for my first DSLR, a 1000D) and I'm loving it so far. Only thing I could see a modern entry-level would bring me is more megapixels.
Macro and landscapes are pretty different areas though, and not that likely to share suitable lenses. What I would do is to try first with the 18-55 for landscapes (plus tripod), then couple it with macro extension rings for macro work.

What operating system and browser are you using?
The Apple symbols that you're able to see are just GIF images (one of the smilies provided by this message board is an Apple logo.) You can see this one (:apple:), because it's just an image. But you can only see this one () if you have the necessary fonts installed, which all iOS devices and Macs should.
I think you are dead-on. One of them is a font character which requires the Apple font installed, the other is an image.

a cool key combo i accadentially discovered not to long ago is the command + ~ this will cycle through the open windows of the current program. so if you have 3 windows in safari open it will only cycle through them and not go to another program.

Its not like they require you to read all the posts or anything. I say take what you can get if its free, and don't take what you don't need if it annoys you.

Easy enough to look in the G5 and count the sockets. It depends on the age of your machine.
PC RAM is not necessarily compatible -- Look for RAM from a reputable vendor who tests and guarantees comptibility with your model Mac, offers a lifetime warranty and a no-cost return if it doesn't work.

I am using this code to embed an MP3 file into a pop-up window (don't worry, I've got controls and the user actually has to click to start the song):
<embed src="mysongname.mp3" autostart="true" hidden="true" loop="true">
This works fine on IE and Firefox for PC and it works fine on Safari for Mac. The problem is that the song does NOT play on IE or Firefox for Mac! Any suggestions?
Thanks!
