I bought this MBP; its currently on its way via UPS. I just want to let everyone know we had a very quick, smooth transaction and I'd definitely do business with this seller again. I'll update this thread when the MBP arrives (UPS says tomorrow)

The closest you can get is subscribing to threads you post in and then looking at the list in your User CP. There is no notification mechanism for individual posts and individual user's posts.
Is this any different than being in the forum and seeing the icon that shows a new post since you've posted? And I do understand the said feature is not available but it would be great to have something to the extent of simple Facebook notifications.

Yes it is a dual 500gb drive system. Both are set up as single drives, not RAID. Never been cloned. Yes I am using snow leopard server that came unlimited with the machine.
This change in name came from the server software somehow. I was able with no issues change it back to the way it was using the server admin software and going in as remote user. No issues. It has since stayed in this setup as it had for over a year now. I double checked all the machines in the home and all the devices the kids come over with, ipads, iphones, laptops etc. and nothing is even close to the server names. I just don't have a clue as to why it would all of a sudden report that another machine with the same name was on the network and then allow it and change it's own name. It seems to me that it would have not allowed the other machine period until IT changed its name.

The leaks tool doesn't tell you where leaks happened. It tells you where leaked objects were created. The red line is where the leaked string was created.
There's no obvious bug in the code shown. Does anything else leak? Do you release the address in the MapViewController dealloc method? Does the MapViewController leak?

I wonder why they picked "Allume" as their new name.
A few years ago, a US law went though that makes it easier to sue for trademark dilution (which is when a "famous" trademark holder feels that its image is threatened by another product or business using the same name, even if there is no product overlap). "Stuffit" and close variations are in use out there for other things, so the name isn't as string as it might be.
Made-up words like Allume are easier to protect exactly because they're made up; it pretty much eliminates the "common words" defense and it's a lot less likely that someone else will have invented the same word.
The other part of the story is that Aladdin were initially fighting to keep the name, but after they were bought by IMSI, the new parent company didn't want the legal expenses.

Based on reviews, specifications, and recommendations, I think I'm gonna go with the Crucial C300 256GB. It's $474 from Amazon, has decent reviews on there and around the web (that I've seen), and looks like it'll do the job great.
I'm not going to place my order quite yet though - try and talk me out of it! Haha.

You're a star! I just tested it with my hotmail address and it works but its not going to my other email which it needs to, any ideas?
Its not even landing in the trash...
Email can be a pain.... your other account could be trashing it, who knows... try to get as simple and basic as you can with your testing. I also use phpmailer you might want to look into that. Good luck.

I suspect the success of Zeus and other botnets that target Windows is due to Windows XP admin accounts being used for day to day computing and possibly, on a much more limited scale, users turning off UAC in admin accounts in Windows Vista/7.
If this new Mac botnet modelled after Zeus does not become as problematic as its Windows counterparts albiet in terms of percentage of user base infected, this will show that much of the malware problems out in the wild are due to users running with elevated privileges and that utilizing an authentication mechanism by default is effective at inhibiting malware. Basically, it will show that the average user is not as helpless as AV software vendors try to make users feel.

This is indeed a well known issue with cubes. Some people were affected immediately, and others only after a period of time like you.
My cube has a 'seizure' about once every 4 months and it will do this for an hour or two and then correct itself and be fine again.
There have been numerous causes and solutions suggested and it appears that different things work for different machines.
The usual cause is the proximity switch - the touch sensitive one on top of the cube. Most people report that the switching on and off is caused by a badly fitting or loose gasket around this switch inside the cube.
Some people say that making sure this gasket is seated firmly will cure the problem, and others have had this replaced (for free) by Apple.
I have never found this to be the case with mine, it just seems to have a mind of its own, for short spells every now and again.
Some people have also reported that this happens on hot days or when the air-con is swithed off. I've not noticed this (as I live in the UK it never gets hot!).
There have been hundreds of discussions on this topic since the cube was introduced and you can probably find some useful info on the web.
I'm not sure why Apple have not provided more help on this topic given what a widespread issue it was/is, but I just searched Google for "Apple Cube Switch problem" and it came back with a lot of links. Bear in mind that the solution for one cube may not help yours! I guess this is the price we have to pay for having the coolest computer the world has ever seen :D
Cheers,

Consumer services don't work well as a real CDN. Here are some suggestions:
VPS (http://www.vps.net/?r=rErb) (UK company)
Amazon cloud s3 (http://aws.amazon.com/s3/)
Rackspace (http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/cloud_hosting_products/files/)
I vote RS.
After amazon's latest flubs and being hacked w/ wikileaks, I'd be hesitant to rely on them right about now.

If you're willing to spend that much then why not just get a baseline 2011 MBP?
The Intel i series of the new MBPs will be far better than that C2D found in that macbook. See here (http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_mac/family/macbook_pro?mco=MTM3NjU5MzU)

Solution: download from here http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php
I wrote about the fail here: http://obamapacman.com/2011/05/fail-apple-itunes-mac-download-link-broken/
Update: I've tried OpenDNS and google DNS, flush cache, rebooted, still getting errors. But others are saying the Apple page is working for them.
I went to the website and checked as far down as iTunes 10.2 but they are all listed as being for Windows. Any for the Mac?

Can't comment on the RX 600, but I bought a 785EPX about 18 months ago. I've found that unless you use it pretty regularly (i.e. every few days) then you have to go through a cleaning cycle to unclog the jets. This coupled with the expensive nature of the (5 color) cartridges makes for expensive running costs. If I were to buy again I would go for a printer with seperate ink cartridges, and probably a Canon.

I have stuck with Tiger in my G4s, so I can't speak to Leopard's performance.
You should install the maximum possible amount of RAM before doing anything else, but a HDD upgrade will definitely improve performance as well and should make the machine perfectly suitable for general internet browsing and basic image editing/light gaming work and so forth.
Bear in mind that these machines are only going to get older, and G4s can never handle HD video, so while they are perfectly servicable you will want to limit the amount of money you put into upgrades.

You don't see it on Dell's website because it isn't there...YET. The article linked above clearly states that phone orders of some models are currently available with web sales to begin soon.

Hello, if you look at my other post on the LaCie there is some info that I got from LaCie and some cd/dvd manfs. about the type of disc you need.
The burner won't be out untill mid March and as LaCie's web page says they are taking pre-orders.

Artful Dodger, I had planned on buying one of the LaCie lightscribe external burners in the near future, but you mentioned something that caught my attention. Are there only certain blanks that are compatible with the lightscribe capability? I *assumed* any blank without a surfce design would have done the trick, but I guess not. Thanks!
Yes only certain media will work, TDK, HP (it's their drive in it), Verbatim and only the "+" R media since none of the companies are making any other media as of yet. This was from about 3 or 4 e-mails to different companies that were given to me by LaCie. Also the discs are of a gray scale "etched" quality when burned.
You will have to look for the Lightscribe logo on the side of the dvd/cd cake packs or what ever they pack them in.
Hope this helps.
