Assumption is the mother of all fuckups. A good friend of mine growing up, who was well trained in firearms use, assumed a hand gun that he was cleaning was empty and shot the fridge in the kitchen. Thankfully it and a bottle of milk (I shit you not) were the only casualties.

Agreed. Although with Lost I more feel like they should have skipped a couple of the middle years and just brought us to this season sooner.

Caprica - I'm enjoying this quite a bit. Also Chuck - can't help but feel like they are positioning this show to be done after this year.

I've heard at least some rumblings of display issues with the 27" series of iMacs but they were also allegedly addressed with two firmware updates about a month ago. Apple claims iMac display issues are fixed | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews My 2

I really want to sell our Win based laptop, give my wife my 13" macbook and get a new 15" MBP. Ugh.

I'm assuming some sort of celebration is in order?

If that's African Palisander it's more like the Wenge I've seen than E.I. Rosewood.

I prefer to apply a liberal coating of virgin unicorn dust.

If you bolt it down to the slab just be sure to use some sort of shallow embedment anchor since most residential garages are probably going to have a 3 to 4" thick slab. As far as the custom extension cord goes I fully endorse that plan and suggest something like the following: Total cost should be ~$40 depending on cord size (ga.) and length. It'd be super simple to screw the housing to a bench, like I did with my lathe.

Don't question Dr. Wood, it's Wenge. I've got a little Flip HD so I'll see about setting it up in the shop and capturing the madness when I put tool to metal. As far as removing the center material is concerned the tail stock of the lathe has a drill chuck so I'll simply drill a pilot hole and then go to work with the boring tool just like I did with the wood. My rate and depth of cut will probably be slower but otherwise I think the technique will be the same. Working with the Al really shouldn't be any more difficult than wood, or so I'm told, and it went really well with this first set. (famous last words)

Got to know my new lathe a little bit better and finished roughing out a set of cups for a friend. The two primary outer and inner diameters are within .005", not bad for wood. I've done a grand total of 5 minutes of sanding on these, they should finish up pretty nicely. Next stop, aluminum...

Your two posts here have both been giant piles of fail, I suggest not trying for a 3rd if you want to remain able to read the forums.

Ok, we'll make sure he's properly tagged as a MOT so we know who we're talking to moving forward.

Who are you, exactly?

Please let me know how that goes.

Pics or ban, you know the drill.

Unless you integrated a dock connector that allowed for stereo sound output...

Good to hear from you Naaman. Be sure to drop someone a message with what you and the boys need over there.

Well shoot, if you're going to be there I guess I should be. Flight booked - I get in just before 11am on Friday, depart Sunday afternoonish. Still not 100% I can make it, but figured I'd better make sure I can if I can.

If were an Apple share holder I would be ecstatic with today's news. As an iPhone user I'm decidedly wary about how iAds will be allowed to be used by developers. That's a "time will tell" type scenario but one thing that Apple has proven in the past is that they don't much care if you like the way they think you should like things... Furthermore my 3G does limited multitasking just fine, I can talk and surf, listen and surf, download and surf and a whole host of other things. I'm sure the new multitasking is more complex but it's not like it doesn't already happen on the 3G (and even older) phones. Slacker running the background would be nice, that's all I'm saying. My motivation to upgrade will be when my map can turn from blue to red and they slap the A4 processor in the 4G phone.

I don't think we have any idea just how intrusive the adds will be and I must admit that I'm a bit non-plussed by the idea of embedded adds in apps that already have a clear path to monetization (is that a word?). Are developers really scrambling for cash that badly? Or is it more likely that Apple just found their newest cash cow since they get 40% of the revenue? I also suspect that many of these moves, multitasking for only the 3GS in particular, are simply Apple's way of trying to drive hardware sales via upgrades to older units prior to both introducing a new phone and expanding to multiple carriers. Epic Fail on the lack of tethering too. Fuck you AT&T.

Bye bye Chaarles.

Congrats! Just remember, from this moment on you are the only one on your side. Your agent now has a vested interest in seeing the deal close. Be very picky about anything that comes up in the inspection process and push as hard as you can, everyone else will happily tell you whatever they think you want to hear to keep the ball rolling.
