  • To hear what my family does in our spare time, see this informative movie:

  • It used to be 32,767 songs, which means that it was likely based on a 2Byte integer (w/negatives). If they made it 3 byte, it's 8,388,608 I think.. It's a freakin lot, OK?

  • I know it's totally predictable that I'd say this, but I personally don't care for the iTMS DRM, so I invented a new and innovative way of dealing with it: I haven't bought an iTMS Music track since 2005. Watch out, I'm a crafty one! Someon…

  • I think these are all valid points, none of which bothered me particularly. The reason we only have 3 graphics card options is because the product is new and nothing exists. More than likely, all that needs to happen is a 3rd party driver can be …
    in Why I'm not getting a Mac Pro Comment by slughead August 2006
  • I did this one after I bought my DP 2.5 G5
    in What exactly is the Mac Pro for? Comment by slughead August 2006
  • As I said in another thread, it is possible to attach heatsinks to cheaper RAM from newegg. For $10/chip, you can get "VGA RAM" heatsinks and put them on your chips Newegg is far cheaper than all outlets mentioned thus far, even with the $10/chip…
    in macpro ram heat sinks Comment by slughead August 2006
  • Quote: Originally Posted by Chucker Those don't have bult-in heatsinks, however. They do, they're just not as big we're talking over a 100% price difference here, I'm sure the sinks won't be that much. If the price difference is too much…
    in MacPro can do 3 TB of HDD Comment by slughead August 2006
  • Quote: Originally Posted by theapplegenius I've heard that the Mac Pro can only do 3 750GB drives, which is why they don't let you get them BTO. I think it had more to do with the ability to get them in volume and in time. They probably have…

  • This guy doesn't deserve a response. I'm as big of an anti-apple troll as can be and I freely admit this guy's a dumbass. Leopard is straight up amazing. First of all, unlike windows vista, leopard WILL HAVE ALL THAT'S ADVERTISED. Second, his …
