Wow, didn't see that coming. Caught me completely by surprise!

Given the alternatives on the market and in development, I'd just as soon see somebody else take a crack at it and let M$'s POS die.

Hi everybody,
this is probably a question better asked on a Microsoft forum, but I fear to go to such places. ;)
So here's my dilemma... About year ago I bought a retail version of Windows 7 64-bit Professional and installed it on a Bootcamp partition of my 17" MacBook Pro. Then a month ago, in preparation for a house move/immigration, I decided to sell the machine and thus wiped the HD clean and reformatted and reinstalled OSX but left off the W7 partition, deciding to keep that myself.
However, the sale didn't go through and now the MBP is boxed up and in transit to my destination address. As is my W7 install disc...
So I find myself here, with a new Mac laptop, wanting/needing to install W7 once again (to run my license of Autodesk Softimage). Thankfully I added the W7 serial number to my 'Key chain' so I still have access to it. The question thus becomes; Is there some way to install W7 without having access to my original install disc? Can I download the install software somewhere? And how do I go about activating my license on my new machine?
Thanks for reading! :)

Quite a lot of us own Apple products in Madagascar; we have an Apple store in Antananarivo, as well. You'd be surprised. Have you visited SW Africa?
you're not fooling anyone...;)

As mentioned, all I got was an NSException error in the message and the emulator crashing.
I'll consider what you said but have no idea what you mean by disrespecting people which is 100% not my intent.

OK - the dreaded Bluebery is due next week, anyone want to swap with a

I believe gazfocus does

Yes wav is better than mp3.
I am a huge fan of radio head but opted for the mp3 version. If I feel like I need better quality I will just buy the CD when it gets released a month or so later.

It's a freeware app called Temperature Monitor. Here's a link:

It works great if you have supported hardware, or I should say hardware that is capable of reporting temperatures.
edit: Oh, and according to the author's FAQ,
the "normal" temperature for current Mac CPUs depends on the particular model, but CPU temperatures between 122 and 158 degrees Fahrenheit (50 to 70 degrees Celsius) can be expected for all up-to-date computers. The PowerPC 7450 processor used on most G4 models is specified to operate at a die-junction temperature between 0 and 105 degrees Celsius (32 to 221 degrees Fahrenheit).

I remember an AD about a Kid and His Father trying to install a game on their PC after trying to install the game and failing the Kid says to his Father I am going to install it next door they have a Mac I dont remeber when I heard that at but I liked it.
I think that movie is called dinosaurs. At least I think that is what the game/software was about.

Use iTether. AT&T is fining people who use MyWi.
Lol wrong, ppl are not getting fined they are getting notices ordering them to stop tethering without a tethering plan..either u stop tethering without a plan, u get the plan or u do nothing and Att will switch u to a tethering plan at a specified date. Also it doesn't matter which tethering app u use mywi or it ether they are targetting users who use over a certain amount of data witout a tetheterig plan it just so happens these users are using mywi.

Is this worth taking to Apple? I arrowed the problem areas in the photos. The screen is an IPS panel, which has amazing viewing angles. But when looking at the screen from even a slight angle left or right, I see a band of white light along the edge. It's on the other edge (left edge of screen) too but that edge is slightly harder to see. It's more apparent on the right edge, towards the top and it tapers down to the bottom. This was a replacement unit when my prior iPhone's home button stopped working. I checked my friends' iPhone 4s and the screen is even under various viewing angles.

Pretty quick response to fixing the issue with 4th gen iPod Touches. Was getting really annoying. :)
I agree, I just bought the iPod Touch last month, I thought it was the hardware. Glad to know it wasn't.

I can't believe 3G is new for the Americans.
Land of the free indeed....:p
Indeed...the US mobile industry is probably the crappiest in the whole world...but this is no surprise...they also assert the following:
- "american football" is the real football;
- America means one country;
- "U.S. champion" means "World champion".
So no surprises here...move along, citizens...

Well there's the clear Speck shell case.
I have the satin/matte black one on my Air and it doesn't add too much bulk/weight and it solves the hinge 'issue' (can't open with one hand easily b/c the bottom lifts up). Quite like it.
Haven't noticed any other similar cases yet (all the other 11" Air cases seem to be sleeves).

Either way, they seem to be alright value and about as good as any other 240GB 6G drive on the market now. I was going to get an OCz but after reading an OWC article on how OCz supposedly uses off-spec NAND chips it really put me off the idea :)
I'd skip the OCZ drives from what I've seen as well.
I believe I have found a place to source some X5690 for cheap, but they are being pulled from an Dell R710 server. Have you any idea if the chip design for the Dell R710 is the same as retail or altered somehow/specific like the HP DP X5690 with a different IHS etc.. like in the below link?
http://www.buy.com/prod/hp-xeon-dp-x5690-3-46-ghz-processor-upgrade-socket-b-lga-1366-hexa/q/loc/101/220240015.html
AFIAK, they're standard (come with an IHS). The photo of the HP P/N supports this as well (standard part, as sold as OEM or Retail).
The only one that immediately comes to mind (no IHS), is with the 55xx parts Apple used in 2009 DP systems. They went to standard parts with the 56xx used on the 2010 DP systems (standard OEM parts with the IHS, and added the latch cover to the socket as Intel designed it). I suspect skipping the latch cover and using naked parts was a failed attempt (by Foxconn actually) at cutting costs, but did away with it due to defect rates from bent pins during the assembly process "eating" those savings due to the expense of rework and waste.

Thank you Sir! I wil research this storage device. :D
Unlike lots of people, I'm not a fan of most RAID schemes other than a RAID-1 mirror set. Once you start putting your critical data across multiple drives, a catastrophic multi-drive failure (and I've seen *lots* of those over my career) makes recovering any of your data anything from challenging and expensive to impossible.
I've done a fair bit of computer forensics in my recent past, both for commercial clients and for law enforcement- recovering data off a RAID device is often not fun at all- even when you have all the right equipment.
My position is that if it's important data, mirror it on two drives- and have good backups. When your unit of storage is one hard drive, an off-site backup of one hard drive is an easy thing to make/store/ship. When your unit of storage is 3-5 drives, then backups become more of a challenge.
With RAID-1, you can simply pull the mirror, add in a new drive and let the mirror rebuild to back up- that's easy and if you have a drive failure, normal drive recovery techniques get as much of your data back as is possible as quickly, cheaply and easily as possible. It doesn't give you blazing performance, and you have to buy 2x the number of drives, but it's reliable and easy, and for critical data in my opinion those trump everything else.

Why not just buy the Mac version of AutoCAD?
I downloaded AutoCAD 2011 and can't install it because it said my macbook version is not supported.. I have Macbook 4.1 and AutoCAD 2011 for Mac system requirements is 5.1 or later.. Autodesk just release the Mac version last year..
