effectively somehow Tiger handles the wireless signal much better. again, my teknikal knowlehg not so goodd
but i suspect that maybe somehow Tiger 'assigns' more battery power to the airport extreme card. battery drains fast when airport is on, but not too bad when airport is off
anyway when connected to the AC (most of the time) i am mui mui impressado with the iBook wireless experience with tiger
...........
I think mine's worse but then I am another floor up and the other side of my house. When I move back to my normal position I can see if my PowerBook continues to cut-out!
LOL... thats great... Are u French (or canadian)? .... only the French language is retarded enough to say "sixty ten" to say 70 "four twenty" to say 80 and finally "four twenty ten" to say 90.
Yeah, 'cause english doesn't have any awkward moments at all, does it?
At least in French "wine" actually means something besides "hard grape juice in a box."
wine |w??n| noun an alcoholic drink made from fermented grape juice. ? [with adj. ] an alcoholic drink made from the fermented juice of specified other fruits or plants : a glass of dandelion wine. ? short for wine red . verb [ trans. ] ( wine and dine someone) entertain someone by offering them drinks or a meal : members of Congress have been lavishly wined and dined by lobbyists for years. ? [ intrans. ] (of a person) take part in such entertainment : we wined and dined with Eddie's and Bernie's friends. PHRASES good wine needs no bush proverb there's no need to advertise or boast about something of good quality as people will always discover its merits. [ORIGIN: a bush was an innkeeper's sign, originally depicting a bunch of ivy used (in place of grape leaves) to show that the establishment sold wine.]DERIVATIVES winey (also winy) adjective ORIGIN Old English w?n, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch wijn, German Wein, based on Latin vinum.
.....At least in French "wine" actually means something besides "hard grape juice in a box."....
well, in Australian fermented grape juice in a box is called "goon"
well, at least in certain parts of Australia...
the aussies on this thread can confirm this...
in uni (college) we used to play "goon of fortune" (as in wheel of fortune, but the drunk version)
you take the box of wine (cask wine), pull out the wine part of it (it's contained in like a aluminium foil 'bladder' of some sort... hook it up to one of those clothes-drying thing that spins... everyone stands around in a circle, someone spins the goon of fortune, where it stops, you drink. repeat ad nauseum. (pun intended)
Actually they say almost exclusively quatre-vingt en Suisse, mais ils ne disent pas - au moins la majorité des Suisses - soixante-dix et quatre-vingt-dix.
Actually, like (almost) everything in Switzerland, this is different from canton to canton*. In Geneva quatre-vingt is used, however in Fribourg (which has no common border with France) but also in Vaud and Valais, they prefer huitante. (And there are areas where 'octante' is used).

A canton typically has about the size of an average city suburb elsewhere in the world - and maybe a tenth of its population. Every canton is however a largely independent political entity with an own constitution.

I'm assuming not since no one is reporting so.
But can anyone confirm this one way or another?
