This is fascinating!
Out of curiosity how built up is your area? Is this a neighbour you've spoke too before? I think I'd feel worse if one of my neighbours stole something rather than some thief I never met before. That said they're mostly old folk, Paul Scholes and a pub so I don't expect any of them to steal from me!
Anyway. I can't wait to hear how this ends. It sounds like it's all going to work out if you can just get the police into that house. Surely you'll be able to prove it's yours there and then by some serial number, hard drive key or something?
They couldnt tell if they were on your network Jimmi, it drops so much :p
to the OP, i hope you get your x360 back soon, good luck.

Just my random thought after finding this forum for the first time.
Its 'exclusiveness' and yeah It needs to be moved.

It was called a power pad, I had one and spent hours playing track and field. Yea my nintendo is my oldest, and most used. I love busting out mega man, double dragon, all those classic games.

Very interesting thread. It's a shame that you cant narrow it down to just one house. I'd be straight over, and the door would be kicked in. But...You dont really know whats on the other side of that door, so you should really take the police route. Then you can see the door be hoofed in. :D

The MS isn't bad now, I saw a 4GB Duo for $69.99 and 2GB ones are always under $75. I have a 1GB one and it has enough room for 3 south park episodes, a movie, and some MP3's.
If they do a PSP Lite, i'm the first one at the store.
MS not bad now? Bro, the last time i checked the price of the 2GB sandisk (about a year ago), it had just been barely released - mostly available on special order - and was over $200. Now the 4gb is available for about a third of what the 2gb was selling for. About 1.5 years ago I paid $100 for a one GB stick and about $200 for a 4gb datel PSP HDD with double capacity battery. Now I'm glad I sold it in time to recoup more than half the cost before the sticks came down.
Although I sold my PSP about a year ago (my original ad is still in the MR archive), i wouldn't definitely be second in line behind you to pick up a PSP lite. A somewhat brighter and sharper screen with somewhat better pixel response and better battery life would be killer, even if the unit as a whole were not *much* smaller and/or lighter. Dual analog nubs would be nice, but the one non-game feature that would be a deal clincher for me would be the ability to play back H.264 video in the *full* resolution supported by the hardware - not the crippled 320x240 supported by Sony the last time I owned the PSP. They crippled playback of user imported video mainly for copyright reasons and to sell more UMD videos which looked and sounded far better than videos compressed using iPsp, PSPware,Video 9, etc. This wasn't due to memory stick limitations, as i eventually learned how to 'dump' truncated UMD videos to MS (and whole movies to the Datel 4gb HDD) and play them back using freeware homebrew apps, but those files took up to 1.8GB of space each and the player app was really too buggy and barebones to reliable for on-the-go viewing. Anyway, the movies I wanted to watch weren't released on UMD anyway...

quick question for you ps3'ers. read the faq at stanford, but couldn't find an answer. can the F@H client be set to start automatically when the unit powers on (remote server room, no monitor/screen) or do you need to manually start the client from the menu?
anyone using any additional cooling (snap on fan thing) or just stock console?
like the idea of folding on this due to simplicity and speed. at current ebay rates, this is also cheaper than a couple of the systems i have running. sell the dual xeon, get more work units done, and save some energy. bonus!

Clarify please. You just threw that out of the blue. I'm not understanding where you're getting that from.
What I meant to say is that the things we suggest and clamor for here are things which Apple already knows.
We aren't going to alter their course with any of our statements, save for that 1 in 1000.
Apple is a $5-7 billion dollar company (depending on AAPL when you read this). A full fledged chip maturation is a multi billion dollar process, thusly Apple relies on other larger companies to fab its chips. It provides input, but it is a slave to their whims. Sadly, Motorola's whims have not included advancing the G4 at a 'market leading' pace.
We can tell Apple what we want them to do, but they are aware, and they are doing.
A Power4 derivative with 160+ vector instructions just doesn't make sense for IBM to develop, if they don't have a specific user, or feel like adding Vector based instructions to AIX.
So do what you will, but know that you won't change the future in a positive way by vocalizing.

I agree that the ArsTech article was "less than ideal." They often do good stuff though, so perhaps they'll follow that up with some real data in the future.

Macs have again taken the lead in my opinion with OS X and the Dual 1.25.
No one will ever change my mind. Call me a zealot, but that is what I think.
I am in a critical thinking class, and we spend 3 hrs a day, 2 times a week talking about people who rationalize like BackToTheMac. "No one will ever change my mind"
That is complete suppression of all the facts that are given to you. I think its a shame that you logically in your mind come to these conclusions. I bet you think Friday the 13th is dangerous, and you have lucky numbers huh :)

I don't fall under the 'old skool' banner, but I've been around longer than most these days. But maybe you should try a reunion thread, only for anyone who's of a certain age.

I agree...
I would love to see an APG slot to upgrade the vid card. This may go against the whole point of the iMac line though.
With a 19" screen I suspect it would have to have a larger base which could translate to more expandability. I think that it would also make it more marketable to potential switchers who expect to be able to upgrade their computers.
Here's to hoping...

Bit unfair to say that Apple did that. Some 2-cents an hour guy in China maybe...
At the end of the day Apple's brand is on the computer and it's completely up to them to ensure the quality of the product. I believe Asustek has the contract for the MBPs but still the buck stops with Apple - they contracted them.
If Apple were open and honest about the situation initially they wouldn't have dug themselves into the hole they are in. Instead they've tried to cover their ears and pretend nothing's wrong in the name of saving themselves a few bucks in technical repairs. And it's at the expense of their user's enjoyment of correctly functioning machines. I don't know how anyone can seriously try to side with Apple on this besides the most short-sighted shareholders.

How about when girls become total sluts and break up with their boyfriends because they meet to many guys on myspace? That's probably a problem. Trust me.
How about all the kids that are molested on there every day?
How about the children that are setting up to meet "friends" from there, and then get kidnapped.
Need more?
Welcome to the Internet, commonly confused by parents for Childrens BBC.
I think MySpace is doing an admirable job, there's obviously strong demand for such a site and evil or no evil it's just giving people 'what they want'. Personally I don't have a MySpace, or intend to have one, but I did used to have a FaceParty and it was fun - for a while. These services have a longevity to them though. Just like real life social hotspots they come and go with new fashions, new trends and new friends.

regarding the release of TiBooks on the 5th November i thought that there would only be a speed-bump. but from seeing what everyone else has said on the subject now i think that i had my expectations set way too low.:p
DDR RAM would be absolutely awesome!!!:D i was just starting to get used to the idea of normal RAM until at least March next year. and as for a built-in superdrive i think that it is a real possibility at the next release (Nov. 5). Sony's already got it, and i don't think Apple will let the competition get too far ahead;) :D
now i'm really starting to get excited about the 5th!!:D :D

I'll ask my question again: What's up with thew PowerMacs and all the probs? The Quicksilvers and Graphites were so solid.
Sorry - not trying to launch in to you.
Precise chip details I don't know, but it looks like this is covered in another posting.
WRT "overclocked". The essence of "overclocking" is going outside manf specs. Apple would be crazy to do this. Consider: Apple says the PMG4 will operate reliably (their warranty - take the machine back if it fails stuff) if you keep it within the specified "ambient" temperature - up to 30c or 40c or something like that. Apple will have designed the machine so that if this condition is met, then the CPU will not exceed a particular temp - probably 70C. Mot will have supplied Apple with chips that Mot warrants can be reliabibly run at a particular clock rate if they are kept within a particular temp range (this is is likekly to be 70C). So this gives a chain of, if the user users the machine as specified, Apple and Mot will replace it if it fails. If you "overclock", ie push the clock rate up and it hence it generates more heat and goes outside the specified temp range, Apple will not warrant it works and Mot wouldn't replace the CPU if it failed for this reason. So I say that these machines are not overclocked, whatever you, and thousands of others on both this board and maybe others, say - simply because I think the definition is all wrong. So in that sense, "rubbish" is still my opinion of the notion that they are overclocked - not as an attack on you but on the validity of using the phrase/word.
If machines are bursting in to flames, I've not seen anything here, but I'll keep a look out.
Hope that's a more helpful response.
