What's your point? The legality of jb has already been established.
To sue someone, you have to know who they are so you can serve them. What's Apple going to do, sue comex? chpwn? Apple doesn't know who they are. Sony knew who geohot was because he's an attention whore.
His point is that it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong, or what is or isn't legal. What matters is who can maintain a long strung-out legal battle (Sony) and who can't (the average person).
I expect George hasn't made efforts to hide his identity for two reasons:
1) He's not doing anything illegal, so why should he have to hide
2) "Hiding" is largely futile anyway. I expect the FBI probably already know who comex and chpwn are.
Possibly a 3rd and 4th reason:
3) He likes to take a stand for things that he believes in. That's hard to do if you're anonymous
4) He's an attention whore

i'm using the font explorer from linotype.
http://www.fontexplorerx.com/
there's a free version, too. which was quite sufficent for me at home. at the studio i'm using the pro version.
and in combination with indesign, it activates and deactivates the fonts you're using in each file automatically.
generally it's quite useful.

So here's the deal. I have a 15" MacBook Pro that I want to sell. Aesthetically, it looks great, no dings, dents, or noticeable scratches. About 2 months ago, I started getting kernel panics, and it got to the point that I couldn't even boot without a kernel panic. I finally reinstalled OS X. Everything seems to be ok. It's up and running, hard drive is good, haven't had a crash or panic in quite a while. Heck, I typed a research paper on it last night.
After all the panics, I swapped the RAM out, and I think that made a difference.
I'd like to sell the MBP. I'd say it is in good order, not excellent given the issues I've had in the past. I'm willing to knock some off the price. I wanted to disclose this issue because when I sell it, that's final. You know it has had a history of kernel panics that required a complete reinstall of OS X. No returns, and I don't want to be hassled if something goes wrong down the road (I don't think it will).
Specs:
-15" MacBook Pro
-2.16 GHZ Core 2 Duo
-2GB installed (I can install another 2GB, only 3GB will be recognized and used by OS X)
-120GB hard drive
-Comes in the original Apple MacBook Pro box
-OS X Tiger install disk included.
-Video adapter included (the adapter that ships with all MBPs)
-Power cord/brick included
Mac2Sell quoted $1480 (http://www.mac2sell.net/permalink/?id=90bdea90672f5090fdc2f29a0a36a5dc) as the resell value of my machine, but like I said, I'm willing to knock some off because of the issue I went through.
I'm interested in what you guys think concerning the price.
Using ebay as a seller reference, I have completed 44 perfect transactions with a rating of 100%. Link to ebay reference (http://myworld.ebay.com/alcomm777).

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!

I haven't have any problems burning AAC to CD.
Here is a link to a discussion of AAC issues. Hopefully your answer is there (if you've not already seen this website).
Good luck.

Setting my computer to never sleep didn't fix it. I'm not really interested in using another program. TM should work. I'm a little stubborn and once I get something stuck in my craw I just want it to work, but on top of that, I actually LIKE the way TM works (when it works).
It seems like I can consistently get a backup to run right after a reboot but it will inevitably fail after that first backup runs. I've reformatted the drive with no fix other than generating an extremely long initial backup. I've got two drives for offsite rotation and the error occurs with both. The drives weren't bought at the same time and aren't out of the same batch (in fact one is a WD Black and the other is a WD Green) so I'm not thinking its a disk issue.
My computer is less than 90 days old. Should I call Apple?

Instead of holding option, hold the mouse button down while you power on. That force ejects any disk.

Or you could close the lid, put the Macbook Air flat on the table.
Simultaneously apply pressure from above on two diagonally opposite corners.
Repeat for the other corners.
Worked for me on the rev C.

Not much to say about the design, it's a Dreamweaver template right? It works well enough.
Just a thought but you might be better running your site off a blogging platform, like WordPress (http://wordpress.org). It would probably make things a lot easier for you, especially when it comes to updating your content.

Really? Quicktime is pretty amazing for professional filmmaking. The Quicktime X player sucks though.
Meh, just move on to iMovie/FCP and call it a day.

oh my god, superdirve and bluetooth?
who ever thought of that as a rumor for the upcoming powerbook:p
macworld had a thing on bluetooth being the future for the next generation macs and there must be dozens of posters here calling for a superdrive in a powerbook
these things probably all need to happen before we see either a dual G4 powerbook or, later on, a G5 powerbook
i don't want to wait til late-2003 or early-2004 to get bluetooth and superdrive as a new thing when the G5 powerbook most likely will be announced, if they even call the post-g4 laptop that

Meh, my experiences at Springboard haven't been amazing, the people aren't always incredibly friendly. I think I'm going to Ardmore.
Really? I think they're great. I've had much better service with them compared to the Apple stores, hands down.

I've been using Keynote lately for work presentations. It's annoying not to be able to give them to PC co-workers. PPT such a piece of crap, and i'd like to be able to use keynote more, but sadly it's not super useful anywhere other than my computer.
My first post here!
I use Keynote to create presentations for other users on our otherwise Windoze network. I tried exporting to Flash, but most of the nice looking stuff gets replaced by dissolves. I now export to Quicktime using custom settings depending on application. You still get the basic interactivity- and the good looks. (PPT users are still doing their red on blue ghastly designs with slide in/out transitions!)

Do you have a TM backup or a clone of the system from before you applied the update?
If not, then a retail version of SL will be fine, you can install that over the top of your existing installation and all your files and settings will remain intact. Your 10.5 disc will not work now.

for 1 thing we all know is that the SB will most likely have a weaker GPU for games, and if gaming on the Air isn't your idea, well, a refresh might be better, but as for now, just keep your Air, i am sure, a lot of people would still buy the current Air even when the refresh is out

I run torchlight just fine on my 4 year old MBP... but that game was designed for a netbook ;)
I remember when L4D came out, and my (at the time 2 year old MBP I believe) only met the minimum requirements... The general rule of thumb is, if you're a PC gamer, you keep a PC to game on, or you stop gaming.
