And West Farms technically is in Farmington, not West Hartford. I know it gets confusing- West Hartford, Farmington, and New Britain. Kinda like that blur of Simsbury, Canton, and Avon.
Yeah, it does get a bit confusing at times. There's parts of the mall that's in Farmington & West Hartford. It's kinda like my college. It's in West Hartford, Bloomfield & Hartford all at the same time :p

What would you like the title of your ad to be in the contest gallery? Apple's "PC and Mac" ads have titles, and yours should too.

If you plan on keeping your computer for as long as possible always get the best you can afford.
To answer your questions:
1) Based on your uses get the I7. More and more applications will use multithreading so the I7 will be a monster.
2) I dont think paying the extra for 2GB RAM is worth it as the card may not use all of it. Thats my personal opinion.

I don't feel like old School. I joined last october, so I missed all of the historic stuff.
What do you guys consider old School.
I consider it members that joined spring 2002 or earlier

552,139 points sounds about right if your overclocked to 10.3ghz but if not then something is wrong :p
Anyways. Try and do a slight overclock to 3.5-8ghz and you'll be finishing bigadvs in no time. You need to fully complete 10 bigadv WUs to start getting their bonus. You will get 75k + points when you complete it. I get closely 90k points when I complete one, which is around 55k PPD.
Don't be afraid to OC, the 920s are the best and you can probably get close to 4ghz on air. See how far you can go on stock voltages. I got a really good chip as I'm at 4.2ghz @1.26v and it's 24/7 folding stable. Lower volts = lower temps and vice versa.
Just make sure you are using an aftermarket cooler if you OC. If you try and OC to 4Ghz with the stock....:o
My i7 920 OC'ed to 3.8 runs bigadvs like a champ. Too bad the OS X client hasn't been updated... I wanna run bigadvs again....:mad:

I've had some problems with my Linksys router. It works about 98% of the time. But that 1% really gets to you... its just stops working sometimes for no good reason. Its the only router I've used, so maybe its a problem with routers accross the board.

Why does it matter if I am a new member? Does it mean I can't voice my opinion? Don't treat me like I'm some little kid.
Honestly, $560 is a high final price when you see the completed auctions for a new unlocked one that are mostly around $500. But congrats on your winning auction from the hacked account.
Great. I'm glad thats your opinion. I don't care. If I can get ahold of the winning bidder (not the phisher) and he wants it, I will send him exactly what he paid, at a price he chose, not me. I started it at $200, which is a very reasonable price. He chose how much to pay; and its not my fault that you're jealous/envious/whatever you are(?) about how much it ended for.

Read all of this so that you understand my point...
Here is the statement from the GotWoW? community about private servers:
"Statement from Blizzard Entertainment to the GotWoW? Community
As many of you already know, Blizzard has taken steps recently to stop the development of unauthorized emulator servers for the World of Warcraft™ beta.
While we appreciate the devotion and enthusiasm the GotWoW? community has shown for World of Warcraft, the development of emulator servers directly contributes to the illegal copying of the beta game client and creates
the opportunity for people to continue to play on unauthorized servers after the completion of the World of Warcraft beta test.
Some individuals may have helped develop emulator servers under the belief that Blizzard was not opposed to the existence of illegal copies of the World of Warcraft beta game client. However, this belief was incorrect. Blizzard places a high value on its intellectual property and does not condone illegal copies of the beta game client or software that facilitates or encourages the use of illegal copies of the beta game client.
Leaders from various emulator-server development teams, including StormCraft, Vibe, and Khaos, have turned over their code and stopped development of emulator servers. We are asking that those of you who are continuing to operate unauthorized emulator servers for the World of Warcraft beta take this opportunity to voluntarily stop these efforts and turn over your code to Blizzard as well. For a short period of time, Blizzard will grant amnesty to those who comply with this request. Please contact us at *email removed* for more information.
Thank you for your understanding and for helping us to ensure the integrity of the beta-testing process. We look forward to seeing you in game when World of Warcraft is released!"
Blizzard never actually claims that anything about the emulated servers, themselves, is illegal. Rather, they attempt to mislead you into believing that the servers are illegal by associating them with illegal copies of the World of WarCraft client. They do have a legal argument, however, albeit a weak one, which is that the development and existence of these servers encourages the distribution of pirated copies of the game, and thus the servers should be considered illegal. Such an argument would not, in my un-professional opinion, stand in any court, as I can't believe that Blizzard has much of anything to back it up.
I wanted to add that I am aware of the case of Blizzard v. Bnetd. However, I think there are significant differences between the circumstances in that case and those in this one. The Battle.net service is a free online game service for several Blizzard games, as was Bnetd. However, first of all, Battle.net is free, and second of all, using Battle.net is not necessary to play any of the games it hosted. You can play StarCraft, WarCraft II and III, and Diablo I and II single player or multiplayer over a LAN. Bnetd, as far as I know, basically offered the same service (which was not necessary to play the game) for the same price. However, to play World of WarCraft on one of Blizzard's servers, you must pay a monthly fee, and if you do not pay that fee, you cannot play that game (unless you find a private server). Blizzard certainly knows all this, and judging by their official comment, the additional legal information they almost certainly have probably indicates to them that they would at least be on very shaky ground coming out and denouncing WoW private servers as illegal.
Also, reverse engineering is protected under US Law. If these emulated servers were designed using Blizzard's source code then there would be a problem.
So as you can see, private servers are quite legal.
Now for my questions: How do you create a private WoW server on a Mac, and how do you run someone else's private server?

You can perform conversions from any number system in the same way. Each position has a value based on it's distance from the . separating the whole portion from the fractional portion (decimal point in decimal). The position just to the left of this point is the 0th position, and this goes up as you move left and down as you move right, so:
1076.235
Position 3: 1
Position 2: 0
Position 1: 7
Position 0: 6
Position -1: 2
Position -2: 3
Position -3: 5
Each position's value is the base of the numbering system raised to the power of this position, so:
1*(x^3) + 0*(x^2) + 7*(x^1) + 6*(x^0) + 2*(x^-1) + 3*(x^-2) + 5*(x^-3)
so let's say this is an octal value:
1*(8^3) + 0*(8^2) + 7*(8^1) + 6*(8^0) + 2*(8^-1) + 3*(8^-2) + 5*(8^-3)
1*512 + 0*64 + 7*8 + 6*1 + 2*(1/8) + 3*(1/64) + 5*(1/512)
512 + 0 + 56 + 6 + 1/4 + 3/64 + 5/512
574 + 128/512 + 24/512 + 5/512
574 + 157/512
~574.306641 base 10 equals (approximately) 1076.235 base 8
Chances are the bases you'll deal with are 2,8,10, and 16. Even base 8 has fallen out of favor, but i guess it's worth working with. If you're doing this by hand, and you're moving between 2,8, and 16 there are some "tricks". Every octet is 3 bits, every hexit is 4 bits. Knowing this you can do conversions from either of these bases to base 2 or back again pretty quickly and easily with grouping. Note that between 2,8, and 16 you can exactly represent anything from one of these bases in one of the others. This isn't so with base 10, so we end up making approximations because converting from one of the other bases to base 10 can give us an irrational number, and some decimal numbers with a fractional part cannot be represented in binary at all, so they have to be estimated.

Basically it's good, but requires a heck of a lot of space (more than move or Wii combined) and most games menu systems are pants of the launch titles I purchased.

You could certainly make an application that is mostly HTML5/Javascript, that was the way that Apple originally intended for the iPhone 1. For webapps hosted externally you don't even need Xcode or a Developer license, but you can wrap a webapp into a "regular" app and then you would.

... 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?
If you have an external USB DVD ROM drive - yes, OSX DVD will boot from it (that's how I installed) - just press alt when starting up and select it for boot.
Otherwise if you leave the current disk as it is - it will boot from there and then you can clone it to SSD and then boot from SSD and reformat the older drive. Not recommended if you have lots of stuff on the old drive - fresh install cloning is fine as the previous poster said.
Time Machine should not have any trouble at all.

I have a Camo patterned lenscoat on my 300/2.8. I bought the Camo for two reasons; (1) to blend in with the natural surroundings around me, when shooting wildlife, and (2) because it doesn't absorb heat, like black does. What is the point of putting a black coat on a white lens??? Canon makes most of their zooms & tele's white, to help minimize heat issues. Another benefit of having a lenscoat, is that is does provide some protection to the body of the lens, but also prevents paint wear, which in turn helps minimize depreciation values, if one were to sell their lens.
I would suggest asking this question on the FM General Discussion board. You will get many more specific answers to your questions, as there is a lot more traffic there, and there are numerous members who own & use lenscoat products. In response to the statement about fitting, the coat on my 300, fits perfectly. There is some slight movement here & there, but for the most part all the different pieces stay in their respective places. Also, I would strongly advise against putting any type of tape on your lenses, except for Gaffer's tape. I utilize Gaffer's tape in a few strategic areas, but I have never wrapped any of my lenses or hoods in any type of tape.

I'm usually the first one to eat up 2nd versions of gaming consoles (i'd loveee the HDMI), but I've come to love the white color, especially with my E3 faceplate :D Hopefully they'll add the 65nm chip and HDMI to the white x360 soon.

As mentioned on previous post, you need to have your SHSHs saved if you want to installed anything else than the current firmware released by Apple, (currently 4.3). The windows where Apple was signing those SHSHs for 4.2.1 have already been closed (so unless somehow you got your SHSHs saved by tiny Umbrella or Cydia before) your only option is to upgrade to 4.3 or wait out for a Jailbreak tool.
Jailbreak tools don't help restore to earlier firmware. It's more the other way around -- people save SHSHs in case a jailbreak method requires a downgrade to earlier firmware. If you didn't save the SHSH, there's no way to downgrade, now or ever.

They probably saw a large slowdown in sales b/c of defectors to google reader, etc, etc. Now, they are just looking to leverage their user base and get it installed on as many Macs as possible.
Just my guess.
It's a good guess. I was a happy NNW user, but despite having paid for the software, I still switched to Google Reader about a year ago. I tried out the new version of NNW, but there are really no features compelling enough to get me to switch back. Now if they come out with native iPhone version I might change my mind (I'm still not thrilled with Reader's Phone interface).
