  1. what warranty do you mac folk have? apple care or go with the squaretrade?
  2. jacob, jim and gene say glossy. good enough for me. its 50 bucks cheaper too so yeah. one fellow grad students laptop just died so i might be selling my thinkpad to him if he cant find a good deal in the next week. if that happens, ill order the 15" mbp right away. if not, i just have to wait until the 7th to place the order. thank you gents. ps. i feel dirty doing this - first an iphone. then mba for mom (now sister's). then ipad for mom. then mbp for dad and now mbp for me.
  3. Tapatalk is doing exactly this for me. That or it doesn't show new threads for a week.

  5. Any way you could find out what processor it is in particular so I know to avoid it for certain? pretty please good sir
  6. Knuckles those were the two programs I read about. I figured I would go with a 15" Mbp. The resolution on the 13" makes me angry. It will weigh a bit more than my current thinkpad but not by much perhaps. the glossy screens seem to be reviewed very poorly in terms of usability so I guess I have to resort to paying for the premium anti glare option. If only amazon carried the confit I wanted with the anti glarescreens ordering from apple gives me a student discount which is then offset by the sales tax they charge. Also I miss free 2 day shipping from amazon. Going to call amazon tomorrow and see if they take special orders like these or maybe have a piece lying around doing nothing.
  7. just ran into that option salty. thanks however. there are a few options available on newegg. shall start reading reviews to see which mates/runs best with these creatures. this is most disheartening. the native resolution on a 13" mbp is worse than on a 13" mba >< what the hell...
  8. just found out that osx doesnt natively write to ntfs partitions. it is not possible for me to convert file systems to fat as about half my files are over 4gb. i did just find a few software fixes to get around the whole write issue. can anyone comment on the performance of these software fixes (write speeds with the fix vs write speeds on windows). are there any file systems that work for both operating systems? i am trying to make a final decision between a mba and mbp. just found out about parallels so wont really NEED a pc to run annoying math programs. vmware vs parallels? are there any nice (free, i still use dev c++) ide's for c++ for macs? i am assuming people do program on macs. edit: bloody fuck on a stick. 8gb ram for macs is some $400. i dont know how much of a memory hog osx is but will i run into any issues with osx and windows 7 running together with parallels or vmware? currently have 8gb in my thinkpad and nothing that i use software wise pages out.
  9. Any thoughts on the crack with the nicer caps? I'm about to put in another order for odds and ends for the dcpp. Wouldn't mind throwing in a pair of caps if the difference is noticeably between stock and upgraded caps.
  10. how the fuck is house the second most famous guy on tv...i mean really...that guy from ncis beat him out. wtf
  11. very postjackian dog. not sure what exactly that means but seems to fit. have fun!
  12. no clue how i missed those pictures mike. looks like a great time. all that time i spent in the north and never went skiing/snowboarding
  13. picked up the top plate from the dcpp. jackass charged me out the ass and screwed up the hole location for 6 holes. supposedly he had been running the machine shop for 40+ years...deeply regretting giving the guy the skirt for the crack now. on a nicer note, got accepted to phd programs at columbia and toronto. got nominated for graduate student of the year (for teaching) for the second year in a row. eating a slice of chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake now to celebrate.
  14. thats how i roll dawg.
  15. for what its worth, i never had problems with tapatalk before.
  16. tapatalk doesnt want to update. no newly started threads show up. any threads i have participated in dont get updated. any thoughts?
  17. happy bday sir.
  18. Happy bday good sir. (it must have been the 13th somewhere)
  19. I tried the app as well but I can't get music to play through headphones. Only through the iPhone speakers...so pointless.
  20. and turn it on too.
  21. I love both p&z and angry birds. Check out fragger. Similar to angry birds. Just as addictive IMO
  22. i haz a sad instead of reading carl's post about sizes, i assumed woot shirt size compliance and ordered two 2xl shirts in blue and red. as awesome as the shirts are, they are far too big for me. i doubt even a wash and a shrink will bring them down to wearable size. as such, if anyone finds their xl too small and would like to jump up a size, we can trade shirts. if no trades, then how about $20 for the pair? i love the shirts - particularly the colors (was expecting bright obnoxious blue and red but the ones i saw were excellent) but id rather someone else wear the shirts than they sit in my closet.
  23. if you know no one likes the audiogd stuff here then are you asking here? sell your shit and buy jh16. im sure the welcome wagon will soon follow. good luck. edit - damnit dan beat me to it.
  24. anyone see honeycomb? Motorola Xoom becomes official, headed to Verizon in Q1, upgradeable to 4G in Q2 -- Engadget looks pretty cool. ps. weird ass supported audio formats...
  25. t shirts waiting for me at home. im sure they look nice. thanks carl and bonnie. you guys rock
