Macbook Pro 17" for 60k. 6 months used or something like that. Just thought I'd post it in case someone was interested.

Not that I would ever need this, but Burnagain FS is a multi session DVD burning tool for OS X. Mounts the CD/DVD like an extra drive in finder.

One small question: If one has to upgrade his RAM in an iMac, can he use RAM from other manufacturers like Transcend or Kingston or does he have to use Apple's RAM only?

 

[narangz]

It's SODIMM I guess for notebooks. Not sure though.

DDR2 667Mhz SODIMM is good for most macs/notebooks. The new iMacs use 800Mhz SODIMM. The Mac Pro uses ECC something. I have upgraded mine to 2GB via after market RAM, namely, kingston.

So the iMac uses basically the same RAM that a regular desktop PC uses?

Nope. It uses SO-DIMM modules used in laptops.

^^ Oh OK. Thanks.

u know ur the most comic of all mods where did linux come in, u ask? read again do see the word that says linux users? and the only reason u are trolling in this thread is because as arya said of this stallman guy

I give a damn to RMS. I am not his official spokesperson. And neither am I a troll like you. What I am pissed off is that you people find a rudimentary implementation of an idea hillarious. If the same thing is done 3-4 decades later by you $COMPANY then it is innovation.

It wasn't an idea. It was a stupid whim which you guys are idolising just because it was this Stallman guy.

It's not a stupid whim. It's got a reason. First get a clue about what he is doing then speak further.

I guess I am in no mood of letting this stupid fallacy of yours go without a fight.

Just this one last post on the issue

From the link given by you, NO one can infer what Stallman was/is trying to do with his setup. It could even be a custom RSS reader kinda thingy, which scours the web for interesting information (based on some keywords), fetches them via wget (way faster than a browser as it just retrieves text and omits all other web annoyances) and displays them neatly in the terminal window. Pretty convenient i must say

Conclusion: Dont underestimate someone if he doest seem to do things your way. Remember, people laughed at Galileo too when he said that the earth revolves around the sun

 

[aryayush]

I do have a reply for that but let's not just keep rehashing stuff. Enough said.

Back on topic now…

 

[mehulved]

And what's the reply?

 

[goobimama]

you boys do your thing via PM. I don't care whether stallman is an idiot or not. I'm sure the rest who like this thread will think the same.

------

Back on topic: I think John Gruber is an idiot. I don't know why people think so highly of him. That guy needs to be taken down like a bear wearing a pink dress (dancing to the tunes of Britney Spears).

 

[aryayush]

Why do you say so?

 

[s18000rpm]

got iPod shuffle last week
*www.ministryoftech.com/images/new-ipod-shuffle-lg.png

i want to use ear plugs (like sony ericcson walkman phone's), can you name some brand & where i can get it in b'lore.

give some tips about the batt. usage...
(i'll be using this ipod with Vista [sync'in...])

 

[aryayush]

Just charge it whenever you have the opportunity. That's it. Don't worry about running out of charge or spoiling your battery or what have you.

Listen to your music whenever you want and charge whenever you get the opportunity to.

That's the best tip I can give you.

 

[s18000rpm]

do i have to dischare the batt. fully & charge it again (once in a month or so), as some say it betters the batt. life.

what about ear plugs?

won't have a big differnece & anyways once a month ur pod will discharge while using it itself

what about ear plugs?

ep 630, sasta aur tikau, i think goobi has a shuffle

 

[Pathik]

Ep630 +1. Btw s18, you would have been better off with a zen stone plus.

thanks, 1.2k

btw ep630 googling lead to "Sennheiser CX300", what bout them.

my cous.'s friends have it which came with dell xps, they say the SE ear plug's sh1t b4 the cx300

with some foruming, found this as common reply

EP-630 is more bassy while CX300 has a more balanced sound

anyone with eiter of these, help out.

 

[goobimama]

I never bother with shuffle battery life. It has yet to die out on me (even used it on the entire trip to Mumbai without charging). I just keep it docked whenever and smoke it out of there when I need it. My friend has been using it the same way for the past one year and the battery is yet to die out on him as well.

As for those earphones I haven't heard the Sennheiser but I didn't quite like the EP-630. Not much to say there I guess
