  1. Buying a new Mac/PC, advice?

    And thanks for the comments everybody, you convinced me to get the 2 GBs of RAM
  2. Buying a new Mac/PC, advice?

    OK, so I got myself a MacBook. Will be delivered here in about two weeks (it's holiday season here in Finland afterall). I decided not to wait, as I hope this way I can avoid possible problems with the new OS/hardware - and having to wait for yet another x months after the relase of the new systems (I usually don't buy stuff that is brand new). In related news, my iPod refused to start today, and just flashed the Apple logo. It's battery was really low. But eventually I got it to start in disk mode, and I hope it is happily recharging itself and has not exploded and set fire to my apartment. Since I have had slight issues with the iPod (such as not wanting to shut down and having very short battery life), I think I should try to have it changed, before the warranty expires. Did I tell you my iPod shuffle also broke after a year? So why am I buying Apple hardware, exactly?

  4. Buying a new Mac/PC, advice?

    Damn.EDIT: Oh wait, I was getting a MacBook... well, perhaps I should wait until Leopard (or whatever the latest version was) is released anyway? Or is there a specific reason not to? Because - correct me if I'm wrong - if I now buy a Mac with Tiger, updating to Leopard would cost extra, right? How compatible is Mac software with older versions of its OS?
  5. Post You Pic Thread

    Although I never post here anymore: The squirrel grows out of my chest. And no, I'm not wearing lipstick! Just smiling inanely.
  6. Thunderbird or Outlook Express?

    I think this is a some sort of Mac reference.
  7. Buying a new Mac/PC, advice?

    On the other hand, that does sound kinda scary. Perhaps I should just completely rid myself of all computers...
  8. Blog-engines?

    It's slow as well.
  9. Blog-engines?

    If you mean to use an outside service, I'd personally recommend LiveJournal, because updating it is faster than updating Blogspot.
  10. The Cure For Cancer

    Hohum, smoking causes other illnesses besides cancer. Some of them perhaps even worse than cancer? (I don't know what the name of that disease is in English, but in any case it will choke you.)
  11. Buying a new Mac/PC, advice?

    DosBox for Mac and ScummVm for Mac Some friends of mine have Macs and from what I've tried and heard from them, they are quite cool. However, I don't like iTunes and the software that comes with a Mac - the only good things about getting a non-free OS would be the ability to run non-free professional applications, in my case something like Cubase or Finale. Installing Linux on a MacBook would be one extreme option. BTW, an ATI graphics card is something I would't want to use - Linux [/url] has trouble with hardware acceleration with ATI cards (again, due to closed source drivers). Nvidia works better. (And I want to use Beryl! )
  12. I thought it was a site with videos of guys doing bench presses.
  13. You are ruining our gay bench pressing thread with Katamari Damacy! Awesome! EDIT: I think the website could've totally been about Katamari Damacy.
  14. Bench presses are gay?
  15. Firefox 2.0

    I was recognized... as if I had never left this place! I've grown accustomed to Firefox 2 now. The grey looks don't bother me anymore, at least.
  16. Firefox 2.0

    I dislike the fact that I now have to press Control + F to get a search toolbar with "Next" and "Previous" buttons. Pressing / just opens a stupid Quick Search... (it might have some shortcuts for those same features, but it's still a stupid change).
  17. Your post, with all it's genuine -smilies and such, is so different from the majority of Thumb posts - the majority of Thumbers being bitchy and whiny snobs... I say you are our best member to date.
