Love About.....MENDAL2

I forgot Eva Cassidy!!

She is the greatest folk singer nobody knows about....

Consumer services don't work well as a real CDN. Here are some suggestions:

VPS (http://www.vps.net/?r=rErb) (UK company)
Amazon cloud s3 (http://aws.amazon.com/s3/)
Rackspace (http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/cloud_hosting_products/files/)

I vote RS.
After amazon's latest flubs and being hacked w/ wikileaks, I'd be hesitant to rely on them right about now.

Fine, fine. *envy*

Damn, always playing catch up. When i used wireframes, everyone was using flat shading. When i reached there, everyone was using texture mapped gourauds and phongs. After that was ray-tracing and now when i have implemented it with soft shadows, everyone is using path-tracing and derivatives. And my editor uses steam power. It took years to make.

Feel like Janina. (It's a Pin-Up. Model over 18 and in Finland pigtails no toddler make)

It's so cheesy and stupid.

definitely something wrong, and any of the things you listed could be the culprit. time to start swapping out components...

Thanks. Though it is quite cumbersome compared to the keyboard shortcuts to take screenshots (http://guides.macrumors.com/Taking_Screenshots_in_Mac_OS_X).

I never knew that. Command+Shift+4 will save me so much time, thanks.

I did what parapup suggested.

I went with OWC with their data doubler combo which was the 128SSD (115 usable) with the optibay for 279. I then bought the optical drive housing for 24 from max upgrades total around 310.


Its about what I wanted to spend and hopefully I'll only use the HD for data storage.

Stupid question, will the OSX install disc boot from the external drive or do I need to replace my main HD, then install osx, then replace the optical drive?

also, time machine will have no trouble right?

THANKS for all your help guys
It'll boot holding down the alt/option key. Time machine will have no troubles. Ideally the best time to do this is when your computer is new and you can clone your virgin disk with CCC. You than copy that to another partition, lets say USB drive. You'll never have to use the optical drive again.

I should not that this is for the 27 IMAC

TMNT Turtles in Time is a classic theh graphics are a nice touch

This has been my one and only PSN purchase. I bought it for nostalgia value and it's not especially in-depth but if you were a fan of the original it's a good buy.

Escape Velocity! Marathon!

I saw a 575 on Craigslist the other day for $20. As others have said, it was a fine machine back in the day, but not very collectable without the original packaging, and in pristine condition.

So hold onto it, play some games, and bask in the nostalgia!

If so what do you think? is the charging port bigger than the oem apple bumper? (can you plug in non apple plugs)

Thanks!

Looks just like the SGP Neo Hybrid EX (a knockoff?). If so, only the Apple plug will fit...

This is what you are looking for. I took a screen shot from the page of the Air 2010's service manual.

yes, that is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much.

But could you also give me a link to that manual, because it that I've searched a lot a places using various search terms, and could not find it.

Don't buy the aluminum 24" imac with the 3.06 processor for gaming, the video card won't hold up. Ebay is full of these imacs being sold for bad/ dead video cards and no Apple is not doing nothing about extended repairs.

How old is your PB - there was a battery recall.

It is less than 2 weeks old, and I dont have any cords or anything plugged in.

Yeah, Virgin Mobile does it, too.

r u kidding thats crazy. know of ne others that do ?

If its video editing for after, with a mind to move towards after effects.

While the CPU is important to this, Really you should look more at the RAM your going to use and how much (lots is the answer), and IMO the most important thing, the GPU.

In a windows i7 machine, I run 16GB of DDR3 1600MHz ram, and use a PNY Nvidia Quadro FX card. (the 4800 if your interested)

This made the biggest difference to the editing suite. The difference between gaming cards and professional editing cards is immense. The pro cards do things like effects on the fly, and rendering on the fly, and these are the bits that really make multiple layers of 1080p possible. And I have a friend who runs the 3800 in his, and again this works fantastically.

And as well as the GPU you can start to look at addional cards, we've been using the matrox CompressHD card for a while. And absolutely love it.

Also you should look at hard drive arrays. An SSD for the boot drive and to run the programs from. Then a scratch drive, for after effects, plus a media storage drive, plus a project drive, plus a backup drive. (which if you stick the SSD in the second optical drive bay it all just abouts fits)


But yeah, the other point to note out is that a good few of the plug-ins that we use for Adobe Premiere and after effects are only single processor enabled. so 20 cores at 2.2Ghz isnt going to be as fast as 2 cores at 3.5Ghz. (for those effects at least)

Video effects, and especially at 1080p are going to be huge, and really test out a system.


Actually I think AE does use the extra cores.

Another annoying ad. Links to https://www.colonialfirststate.com.au/

And yet another one (2 in five minutes!!). Links to http://www.ibm.com/smarterplanet/au/en/cloud_computing/ideas/
We've requested that both ads be removed from the ad pool.

Seeing as it didn't start until a day ago and I've had DP2 installed for longer than that, I'm beginning to wonder if it's not correlated;

Lots of results if you just google.

Well, I'm sure if these guys did it... I should be able to figure it out as well.

Thanks for your help.
