Guest coach Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 Why do I have to RE-agree to my license everytime I upgrade iTunes?Because the terms-of-use agreement changed. Why does XP tell me that I "might be at risk" every time I boot it? That just reminds me that I'm using XP and am therefore at risk, which unfortunately is true.Why does it tell you you might be at risk? Mine doesn't.

Guest endymion Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 Mine doesn't.If you disabled the warning then you removed the only thin layer of protection that you ever had in the first place from SP2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest coach Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 My adobe pro update took 8 reboots.. some ass clowns are designing this crap!Oh lord. Don't even get me started on Adobe. Macs I just find annoying. Adobe I literally hate. No less because I have to use it every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest endymion Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 Adobe I literally hate. No less because I have to use it every day.Tragic, then, that you're on a PC and you can't use Aperture instead. It's a non-destructive, GPU-accelerated photo tool that the likes of which you won't see on a PC for another five or ten years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest coach Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 Not that I'm interested in learning a whole new software, anyway. I do miss the use of Final Cut Pro, and having to use Adobe Premiere instead. There's that darn proprietary issue again. Oh, just noticed that Aperture is primarily a photo-editing software. That's not really what I do.

Guest swirlundergrounder Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 Standing on a Mac is about all it's good for since it spends half the day "automatically" upgrading all of it's software.WTF? Maybe your software hasn't been upgraded on a regular basis. Besides upgrading Windows components are more of a pain in the ass than upgrading mac apps. Besides Windows PCs are better made to stand on than Macs since all they do is fight off viruses all day and all through the night...

Guest endymion Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 It starts at 2300 but if you load it up, it comes to $18,371.00Individuals don't buy machines like that, companies do. Nobody really cares how much they cost because they instantly generate profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pod Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 Yeah, you'd see the loaded up one in an editing bay over at Telemundo or something. Your average indie filmmaker or music producer isn't gonna work on something like this at first. And it's way overkill for 2-D photo work.

Guest endymion Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 Aww, and I thought you'd use the chance to plug a3tv instead of Telemundo! They use quads at the moment I think.I have a developer friend who keeps obsessing over doing distributed software builds that use every CPU in the office to compile code. It's his standard example of a use for the extra cores. Thing is though, my Core 2 Duo builds the apps that I'm working on in a second or two. I don't see the point in even doing a distributed build. There used to be a time when I would press the "build" button on my 1 GHz single-core PPC and then go and read the CoolJunkie forums or something while I waited for the app to compile and link. Now you guys don't see me here much because my goddamned computer is so fast that I never get a break! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pod Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 Oh yeah. Buster'd slap me if he read this. OK. Go watch A3. I'm on there sometimes. ;DThough I would like to have a quad just because. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V. Barbarino Posted April 5 Author Report Share Posted April 5 Well if you are loaded, why not spend 18k on a computer. It will be useful for the next 30 years!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pod Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 Not even close. 2 years from now, that 18K computer will be sitting in someone's dorm for $1K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest endymion Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 I think he was joking, Pod.You could finance that $18k computer. You'll spend $28k and the bank will make $10k in profit, and three years from now you'll be making monthly payments that are greater than the resale value of the computer. But you'll be able to buy something that's beyond your means and the credit system will reward you by increasing your credit rating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest swirlundergrounder Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 I would say that I bet Trancepriest will post a picture of this Mac within 2 weeks but he is M.I.A... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
