There is an interesting phenomenon of "steadiness" (my words). As engines get more fuel efficient, people buy bigger/more powerful cars. Today's engines (per some measure I forget that makes sure the measure is for similar power/weight ratios) use something like a 10th of the fuel to produce the same power as engines from the '70s. The unheralded success story is that engine engineers have done the same thing with the internal combustion engine as electrical engineers did with electronics.
Similar thing for the areodynamics.
It's us, the consumer, that buggered up the fuel savings. We wanted 6 cylinders instead of 4, and 8 instead of 6. We wanted torque, power, and speed. We wanted trucks instead of cars. We wanted vans instead of station-wagons. Then we added all the electrical things (which rob an engine of power). Power windows, brakes, steering, computers, GPS units, DVD players, AC, heated seats etc.
So - as engine efficiency improved we added things that needed power, so that our mileage rates stayed "steady". We are getting more - for the same.
Same thing happens for freeways. It has been known for a long time that building more roads doesn't make traffic flow better - it merely allows for more cars. People will live, on average, about 40 minutes from work. If you build a new freeway to cut that commute time to 30 minutes.... they move 10 minutes further out.
I lived in city with no highways... Vancouver, BC (if you don't count the 5km or so of the #1 that cuts through the NE corner). Has been in the top 3 to 5 (usually at #1) ranked most liveable cities in the world for a number of years now.
We now live in the country, and a Passat has no appeal to me. Though we do drive a Smart Car. We love taking it to the US where there are far fewer of them. We get stopped at gas stations by people who are curious about it, and who think it's a toy. I just tell them that my $25 fill up will take me close to 500km (~300miles) - as they are hitting the $100 mark on their top up - that they do every couple of days. Hee Hee. We also get discounted street parking in Victoria, free hotel parking at some locations in Victoria, and preferred parking at some malls and in Sidney.

Setup a Static IP address in your Xbox settings by going to network settings and switching to Manual rather than auto. The easiest way to get rid of NAT problems is to host your xbox on a DMZ, which you do by going to your routers settings and entering in the IP address you just assigned to your xbox.

I'm sure TJMax is rethinking how brilliant their idea is. But is it really illegal? What can Apple do?
Apple shouldn't be able to do anything. TJ Max buys at retail and sells for $100 off at a loss. This so far has become the most cost effective advertising campaign for TJ Max EVER! Just look at it. Mac Rumors is talking about TJ Max. this will probably hit major news networks as well if it hasn't already.

And that concerns you how??
Wow.
Double wow, without a disclaimer from you.
I do believe your time here would be better spent somewhere else.
Please.
You don't care if Europe collapses? Not even a teensy bit that our allies are going to fail?
Not my words, hence the quotes

It's amazing that they can still make money selling Centipede and its peers.
Is there a Steve Jobs homage in Breakout?
They should hide an Easter egg in Breakout so that a System 7.5 SimpleText window pops up! :D See Breakout, The Easter Egg (http://www.thisoldmac.ca/wordpress/?p=75).

ok so my new 2010 MBP has been extremely slow and I was instructed to go into my disk utilities and to repair disk permissions and to verify them. I did so.
I was also instructed to take this pics here and hopefully someone can help me speed up my mac.
Would i need to use Onyx. file:///Users/Nick/Desktop/Screen%20shot%202011-04-19%20at%208.51.46%20AM.png

Favorite game - "Leisure Suit Larry in The Land of The Loung Lizards". :rolleyes:
Is that game available on current Apple products anywhere? I remember trying to win that game but couldn't think smarmy enough.

Then definitely steer cleer of the 60GB iPod.
Seriously, wanting a correlation between total song time and single-session battery life is a bit off IMO.
Everybody WANTS it....but reality says otherwise.
Agreed!!! I'd say, the max battery life required is the number of waking hours in a day. Of course, that assumes you listen for the entire day including, eating, showers, bathroom time...
I'd tend to think that 12 hours is enough with a recharge at night. Oooooooooh but what about people who travel or backpack for a long trip without a charging opportunity. Maybe they need more charge time? Does anyone listen to headphones while hiking? I'd want to keep a listen out for bears (Stephen Colbert has set me straight as to the danger of bears!). :D

Your out of luck. Under no circumstances will Apple EVER replace a product with another one that is not exactly the same! Period!
While I agree that under those circumstances Apple is unlikely to make the swap I have to disprove your claim. My mom's 14 inch iBook's screen broke when our dog pulled the cord it was plugged into and knocked it to the floor (pre-magsafe days). She sent it into Apple where they so sweetly said they would repair it free of charge even though they didn't have to. It ended up taking a few weeks when they said they would have a new one for her in a couple of days. After a few times calling in to check on the status that never seemed to change, Apple sent her a brand new updated 12 inch powerbook! Another time a friend of mine spilled wine on the keyboard of his 2009 15 inch top of the line Macbook Pro. It worked for a few more months until it finally kaput. He took it into Apple just to see what they would do, not too optimistic. The Genius was awesome and gave him a brand new 2011 top of the line 15 incher!
