I don't even notice the rating, and on the rare chance I do, the negative/positive rating has no bearing on the content of the thread, so in the end I ignore it.
I guess what I'm saying is, that rating doesn't really provide any benefit.

I just ripped a CD onto iTunes for the first time, and all the songs were imported as .mp3 files instead of .aac. Anyone know why this is occuring, and how I can fix it?
Thanks, Alex

Ah, but YOU'RE missing the point completely. As resolutions inscrease the interface can scale up because it is resolution independent in 10.5. Web pages are NOT resolution independent for the most part. Photos, graphics, interfaces are not. So, when you're looking at your killter 3000x2000 monitor yes your icons and OS interface can scale up and your photos will look very crisp BECAUSE they are vector or have extra resolution to draw from. Websites on the other hand will be fixed at 800x600 or whatever and unless you want them to be miniscule on your screen as they are shown pixel for pixel, they will have to be blown up in some way.
So the res independence IS a good thing and just fine UNTIL the monitor resolutions go through the roof for the same physical screen sizes.
There are too many things outthere that are desinged WITHOUT the independence. Icons inside nearly every application for example. All kinds of stuff. My guess is that this won't affect too much too quickly. It just addresses some issues with the current interface on high screen monitors.
There is no reason that internet images can't scale right along with everything else. Just because something is bitmapped doesn't mean it can't scale nicely. There are a million decent algorythms for scaling bitmapped images.
If an image is designed to look nice with a 72 dpi resolution and your monitor is at 144 dpi, then the image will be the identical size, shape and appearance as a 72 dpi monitor when the image is scaled 2 to 1 on the 144 dpi monitor.
Where is the problem? The resolution independence will come from the browser rendering not from the website design. In otherwords, if a user scales safari up on a high-res monitor then the contents will scale as well regardless of what the contents are, bitmap image, vector image, etc.

Hey, someone from my Apple User Group is trying to sell their 1.33Ghz 17" pb. If you're interested, I'll PM them on our forum and ask what they want for it. It has 1GB RAM/Superdrive.

I'd be surprised if anyone would buy anything this old, as it is probably too slow to do anything productive, and even the parts are so outdated that they would be of no use to anyone. You might get more interest if you offered to give it away for free, but in all honesty, if I owned such a machine these days, I would simply throw it out.
Sorry if I sound a little harsh. Just being realistic. :)

If anyone gets an idea from Apple on the amount of stock they have at the store please post so those of us that can't come down until later today know our chances.
Thanks guys, wish I was there already.

just use Parallels or VMWare
Or DOSBox! I tried running a game under VPC 5 on a 400 MHz PowerMac G4. Too slow. So I then tried running it on a VPC 7 on a 1.25 GHz eMac. Still too slow. Then I tried running the game under DOSBox on the eMac. Ahhh, just right! Given that many of the games I still play are from the 80's or early half of the 90s, this works well for me, whether on x86 or PPC.
Another MS app which is being moved over as Universal app is RDC, which is probably my favorite MS application. I use this daily to work between my Mac and PC at work, and it works great, especially since I can use my second monitor for the PC, and still share both monitors for my Mac. A great VNC program for connecting to Windows. Too bad it can't connect to a Mac, also (I use Chicken of the VNC for that).

i wonder if a single processor machine that repeatedly requests core82 and never gets it just hangs forever?
that would suck for the whole project
The weird thing is that I have never seen a core82 before on any of my machines. I wonder if this is an x86-only core, and the Folding WU server isn't picking up the fact that a Mac has requested the work? Anyway, I hope I don't get another one.

I'm interested in hearing about other people's experiences in getting a tattoo removed. Please dispense with the usual "I would never get a tattoo", "tattoos are dumb", etc, etc, ad naseum. If you want to express your opinion on tattoos, start another thread. I only want to hear tattoo removal stories.
I'm currently getting one removed (YAG laser). Due to a number of coverups and the size of the damn thing, I've been getting treatments for quite a while now. We're talking many years and lots of moolah. So I'm particularly wondering how long it took (or is taking) for other people to get their tattoos removed, and where they got (or are getting) it done.
Thanks in advance for any responses.

Anyone planning on going to the Apple Store tonight? Anyone know if there is a line yet?
I'm Thinking about it, but more so tomorrow in the AM, I live in Brigham so its not to far and i at least want to Stand in Line "SIT" one time in my life, But at 47 years old and being partially disabled, overnight might be a bit to much.:)
But for sure in the Morning, So maybe we can meet up.:apple:

I don't know how the Order Status page on Apple's site works in other countries, but in the US if the item ships separately, there's a separate tracking number with each item, otherwise it will say "preparing for shipping or "not yet shipped".
I would think calling Apple would probably provide more answers than calling the shipping company.

How come it only goes at 200kb/s second then? Are there any settings I have to change?
I checked the bandwith in the program, but even at 10000 kb/s it doesn't change

Ok so here's the story...
My iPhone's back panel was destroyed so I bought a red one off eBay all happy that it would work out good and all. I get the red panel a few days ago and I take apart my iPhone to do the swap, but I'm stomped because I am unable to take off the railings on the side of the iPhone.
So you will be getting a basically perfect (front condition) iPhone with a red back that you will have to put on yourself. It comes with the headphones, USB cable, dock and the box.
The iPhone WORKS PERFECTLY and it just requires someone to transfer the railings from one housing to another.
Once you've done that, you will have a red iPhone (something that maybe a few people have!)
Shipping will be $10 within Canada, and $15 in the United States of America.
International will be $25
Buy it now price is $250 if you'd like the iPhone and know how to do the procedure then buy it! One more time, this iPhone is in AWESOME condition, and will be in mint since you will be putting a new back on it.
I have already taken apart the iPhone and all you have to do is transfer the railings and put it back together.

i hope stanford makes a version that sets itself up as dual in the future. it seems long overdue
there's a field in the rc5 client that says number of processors and u just change the value....seems like stanford isn't too concerned about this

I know the recording industry are a resistant and mercenary group of individuals, but how much $$$ would they want for just the lyrics, considering you have bought the song already?
That is right where it gets messy. The labels generally don't hold the rights to the lyrics, and the rights needed to get lyrics and sheet music aren't quite the same ones needed to use a song in a recording. :(

I think they will, as AFAI can tell, they announced this at WWDC.

Click on link!
BGR has learned that AT&T may have plans to offer tiered data services when it launches its Long Term Evolution network later this year. The carrier apparently plans to trial two separate types of tiers alongside its LTE service: speed tiers and data tiers. Speed tiers will provide LTE data service at varying rates of speed depending on the plan a customer selects, similar to land-based broadband services currently offered by ISPs. Data tiers will afford subscribers �data buckets� of varying sizes, similar to the configuration of AT&T�s current data plans.
The carrier may also have plans to give subscribers the option to boost services temporarily for a fee, according to a document provided to BGR. The documents mentions �Top Up Sessions,� which allow users to increase their data allotment for the remainder of a billing cycle, and �Speed Up Sessions,� which will allow subscribers on lower-tier plans to speed up their service for a specific duration. The document does not provide any details in terms of what speeds might be afforded by each tier, nor does it detail how much data will be included with each of the various data bucket sizes. It is also currently unclear how many speed and data bucket options AT&T might intend to offer its LTE subscribers. According to the document, AT&T will begin trials of the aforementioned tiered LTE service plans in May for this year. Hit the jump for an excerpt from the internal AT&T document detailing the tiered data.
