I still remember the day I got to bring one home for alerting the IT staff at my school to a security vulnerability on their only PC, allowing students to access faculty folders. Read up on basic programming. for instance:
10 PRINT "HELLO WORLD"
20 GOTO 10
I belive it's ctrl-c or :apple:-c to get it to stop.
As for games, try finding load runner or the original mario brothers. I still play load runner on the IIGS I keep around for gits and shiggles. Long live Mac OS 1.0. Fits on a single 3.5" floppy.

Is there a software similar to Expat Shield for a Mac. I want to play the BBC iPlayer outside the UK, thanks.

Right now I have a early 2008 17in MBP with a 2.5 GHz C2D, 200 GB HD, and 3 GB of RAM. All I do with it mostly is surf the net and do light video/photo editing.
Applecare is finally running out and will expire in 31 days or so. So, as mentioned in another post, Apple in in the process of changing out the HD with a newer 250 GB cause the other HD was failing.
The system, although it has a 8600 card in it, so far runs well and does what I need it to do. However it going on 3 years, should I upgrade to another 17, or even a 15?
Granted I could sell it to sell your mac, or even Apples recycling program, but should I?
Please let me know what everyone thinks - thanks!

I was just giving you a hard time, it's the nature of my personality. ;)
Not a problem,
I have to say that my girls are SO excited to head to Disney world. They were 3 the last time we went and they had fun then. Now that they're 5 they are climbing the walls waiting to go. This vacation is for them pure and simple and I'll have so much fun watching them enjoy themselves.

who still uses OS9 and for what??:confused:
� I will be booting into it this weekend to import records from a 17-file FileMaker 6 solution into intermediate files (which have both the old and the new table structure) and then into the final structure. The speed boost over OS X is somewhere between threefold and fourfold for the involved functions.
� I boot into 9 to scan. I have two scanners, both decently good, neither with OS X drivers available. The Umax Astra slide scanner was noted as having very good color values for the price, and the price was low due in part to lack of OS X drivers. The old flatbed, a Umax 630, is a 3-pass SCSI scanner that will probably still be humming along nicely when MacOS 10.9 is becoming obsolete.
� I have my older computer off to my left here as I type on this one. I Timbuktu into the older one to handle a chore that it does better (under MacOS 8.6, mind you, not even 9) than OS X does on the fastest machines in the shop: opening up folders on a mounted server folder that are chock-full of huge TIFF and Photoshop images, and copying selected files to a folder from a different mounted server volume also chock-full of huge TIFF and Photoshop images. OS X thinks its doing me a favor by trying to conjure up and display a thumbnail of each image based on actual file content. OS 9 doesn't do that (only displays the little classic-mac custom icons generated by Photoshop, if present), enabling an eleven-year-old PowerMac 7100 with a 300 MHz G3 accelerator and 10-base-T networking to do this task as well as dual-G5 Macs with gigabit ethernet...and blow my OS X PowerBook completely out of the water.
Don't knock OS 9. It certainly had its shortcomings (especially with regards to memory, oy vey) but it also had a great deal of sophistication �€�? lots of little things that had started off great or evolved to greatness. It was the best all-around small computer operating system of the 20th Century. I'd still use it over XP, or the first few iterations of OS X.

it could be that I am in a no service area for most of the day and the phone keeps trying to get the service so maybe I just need to switch it into airplane mode whenever I have no service.
That's exactly why.
Do you have WiFi in that area? If you are connected to WiFi when in a fringe area, it will help.

The official TRIM support is already in Snow Leopard builds for the new Macbook Pros with SSDs and it's in Lion as well. The official support is only for the Apple's SSDs, no TRIM support for third party SSDs. There is a way to enable it for any SSD that supports TRIM, but it is a hack. Here's the thread: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1125400
Apple are usually conservative about their SSDs, they don't go for the top of the line SSDs. So, it is normal to see conservative speed from Apple's SSDs.
TRIM enabler is a hack, and some people have reported that their read/write speeds have dropped significantly after installing it on their macs. I'm worried that it even does the job, but I am guessing it just changes the kernel so that instead of saying 'No' it says 'Yes' under TRIM support in SERIAL-ATA.

That is my recommendation.
I agree wholeheartedly. Additionally, I user Finder labels to highlight certain fonts within User/Library/Fonts -- some of the 'free' fonts I have are only licensed for specific or personal use, so I tag them with a Finder label in order to quickly check whether a font I've used in a pro job requires an upgrade to a pro license.
Every font management application I've used in 17 years of professional Mac use has interfered with my workflow to a degree that more than offsets any benefit it's provided.
Cheers!

Have any of you tried upgrading (for whatever reason, maybe coming from a 3GS) and been questioned about the unlimited plan? It's still some 14 months away for me but I was just curious what might transpire when I try upgrading and they see I got unlimited data even though I joined AT&T AFTER June.

Let's be honest here, given the LOOOONG history of video game movies, that is highly unlikely.
This is the main reason, in my opinion. Not everyone played as the default character, nor did everyone play the game the same. This isn't some linear game, with a specific lead character. This game has way too many options, both in character customization, and in character interaction, that the movie has no "definitive" story to base itself on.
True but everyone has seen the trailers and comercials so they get what Sheppard looks like and in my opinnion that perfect look is Fox.
also Seth Green for Joker is a must too :)

Strange! I had the same problem about 2 days ago. I finally used google to search for answers. Ended up that I didnt need to call adelphia, all I had to do was unplug both the airport extreme and the cable modem. Then wait like 30 seconds, plug the two together via ethernet cord, then plug in the modem, wait for it to reset then plug in the Airport....

I'd recommend buying a Dell 2005FPW, 20" widescreen LCD (1680x1050) just like the Apple ACD. Should cost around $400-500 currently depending on coupons, sometimes dipping under $400 at the right time with the right coupons.

If we are talking cores contra speed, then it all boils down to what software you will be using.
For the server though, definitely go with more cores as it will be able to handle consecutive connections without trouble.

I'm planning on coming. I didn't pre-order so I'll get there pretty early. I'm going to call the store this week and try to find out if they have an idea of the number of phones not already sold through pre-order.
FWIW, I was walking by the store this weekend on the way to somewhere else so I popped in and I asked one of the workers if they were planning on having very many phones beyond the pre-order batch.
He did say that they were planning on having "some" but that he wasn't sure how long that batch would last hehe.

You would have to import the CDs again on the other computer, or you could use software to extract the music from the iPod. If you have the CDs, I'd just import them on the other computer when you get it.

Sounds like an interesting compression technology. I ordered the white paper so I'll post if there's anything interesting. At first, I thought it was a "new and improved" JPEG, but it's just a way of compressing the JPEG images into a .sit file. Still interesting, but not quite as much so.

Does this script run for an unusually long time or something? I believe the default timeout for MySQL is around 8 hours.
Your code below is calling mysql_ping, but your error message is for mysqli_ping, make sure you are using the right type of connection.
mysql_ping will not do automatic reconnection, however mysqli_ping will if you set the mysqli.reconnect option in php.ini or your code.
Sorry, I just typed up the test cases I had used from memory quickly and copied and pasted (poorly). It is actually using mysqli_ping in the real tests. Thanks for pointing it out. I corrected this in my original post
8 hours is far too long of a timeout for our busy website. We are running a 30 second timeout right on the database out of necessity. Otherwise the resources sit there and are never released and aren't reallocated and used quickly enough.
I know mysqli_ping won't auto-reconnect (at least in some versions of PHP no matter what option you set), I just use it to test if the connection is still open. If not, I grab a new connection. Even if the ping worked and autoreconnected, the code would be fine. I just can't figure out why sometimes it tosses that error, or how to test for it beforehand.
