I pulled the trigger and ordered a new x61s. I got just about the most loaded linux (hopefully) friendly version I could get (besides bluetooth, which I don't really care about) My macbook is fucked and after that experience, I told myself I'm just going to do what I should have done and get...

I have an old 3 gen. 20GB ipod that only lasts about an hour. It works great otherwise, but I was thinking about doing the battery replacement program at my local apple store to see if I could get a refurb there with the better battery (I guess, hopefully a 5G) Has anyone else taken them up...

on the new t61's, the wide screen version has a max of a 7 cell vs. the standard screen at 9 cell. When I looked up specs on the batteries, from what I can tell the 7 cell actually operates at 14.4V with 5.2Ah and the 9 cell is at 10.8 at 5.2Ah... so 74.88 Wh vs. 84.29 Wh.... I think...

I emailed them earlier today and they said they would mail some replacements monday, awesome.

where can I get some of these? These aren't the normal screws, they are the ones that fit through the rubber grommet for the hard drives.

I haven't checked it under my faculty/staff discounts yet... that might be cheaper. On the apple webpage it has a faculty/staff thing now and it was the same as the student discount. I might upgrade if it really is that much faster. I feel that apple just takes things that have been around...

Apparently it was a typo through my schools Software licensing department :( They thought it was going to be the same price as tiger.

I haven't decided to upgrade or not yet. Right now I'm broke, but it's only 65 bucks for students. Do they ship a new version of GCC with it? I've never done a mac upgrade, but I'm kind of hesitant because I fucking hate recompiling all this CERN software for school I need to use. It...

I also have 2x512MB sticks DDR2-PC5300 ram out of my macbook that I could trade too. I'm pretty sure it's crucial, might be nanya or samsung.

I was hoping to get a better card for my computer. I run ubuntu only on it, and frankly I'm kind of sick of the ati with linux in general. Hoping to get one cheap. I have 2 80GB IDE hard drives (I think WD w/8MB, but I can't remember) I could trade towards it.

make expose on the corners of your desktop... like my bottom left is show desktop, and bottom right is show open apps. It makes the drab/drop thing mentioned earlier even easier.

not exactly, my roommate wanted the ipod so I forked out 60 bucks up front and he bought the rest/kept the ipod and I got his shuffle. Win/win.

2GB of ram or 1GB and 120GB hard drive (and subsequently 80GB portable HDD) My hard drive has about 10 or less Gigs free, but I have a desktop too. I don't think the 80 is quite big enough. Basically, what would you do? 2 gigs of ram or 1? I program, surf internet, do some simulations...

I can't find anything decent. I was really looking for something mainly to edit id3's by downloading album info from amazon since my library somehow got fucked up with all track 14 for track info, and a couple are a little bit wrong. On pc I used and loved mediamonkey, so if that's any...

I pulled the trigger. So far I'm fine. If apple drops the price within 2 weeks I guess I can get a bit of a refund from the bookstore, that's what the guy said.

yeah well in all honesty I think I'll be fine with the dual 2ghz and I'll add 2 gigs of ram. I got a 12 node 2.2Ghz openmosix cluster at disposal if I need the processing power :)

Fuck it I am just going to get one friday. They still have the ipod thing then too, so I will go ahead and do that. I think I will get the cheapest one upgraded w/ 80GB drive and 1GB (one stick from teh apple store) and buy the ipod, sell the ipod and buy another 1GB stick of ram then wait for...

on a side note, if I ordered like on the 15th and didn't open the box for a week or so, could I just return the macbook and get the new one if it came out, assuming it was within the 14 days...

I'm hoping for the regular macbooks. If they put the merom in the 999 imac wouldn't they do the same for the $1100 macbook (non pro)?

I am going to wait. The thing that I am concerned slightly about... do you think they will release it for the regular macbook and not just the pro? Either way there will probably be some sort of improvement that's worth it in the macbook.

I already get the student discount. I was surprised to find out about the loan thing and more suprised that I was eligible. Seeing most, if not all credit cards are at LEAST 12% (usually 18) the 8 sounded good to me. With the discount that puts me just about at the retail price, which I can...

well I am getting some loan for state employees through my credit union at 7% interest (hooray for finding options that people never use) so I got about 30 days of leeway.

Is apple going to release a better macbook in the next 45 days or should I pull the trigger now?

I hope this is the right place to do this, I figured it would be the best place. Right now I work at a University and my professor and I were trying to think of a way to make a cluster without making a cluster and using fast machines which aren't always being used, if that makes sense...

I am thinking about a T60. I like the fact that the casings are pretty heavy duty and the fact that many people regard them as the best quality laptop. I go to school so I get slight discount, I was looking to spend 1500ish at most. Are there any others I should consider? Any reasons to wait...

from someone who first installed redhat 7 6 years ago as a sphomore in high school, and learned found out how to install it with very little knowledge about it, I was lucky I stuck I got it installed, I was lucky I got it working, and I was lucky I didn't say fuck it. Since then I had tried a...

yeah I usually do, there is so much CAS = computer algebra system

i am not new to linux or ubuntu by any means, but I was wondering about certain applications that I like and their definitive linux "equivalents" Here is a list, any help is appreciated. Mediamonkey - I like this on PC because it provides id3 tag editing stuff that is really nice. What are...

Just need a cheap little CDRW/DVD rom. If you got a DVD RW thats cheap enough that would work too, lookin to spend about 20 shipped.

what speed is the ram? I might be interested in the whole system.

no, the fan failed=dead

So I have an x600 thats fucked. The fan on it failed now and consequently so did the rest of the card. Its out of a HP machine, but its an asus card. the computer isn't under warranty anymore, what should I do? RMA it to asus? Any help would be appreciated.

anyone?

Hey I am lookin for a good DMM. Needs to have very low impedence on the ammeter side, I don't know shit about DMMs all I know is everyone says get a Fluke, and theres like a million models out there, so help me out. Here is what I got FS 120GB WD hard drive (2mb cache I believe) 45...

Yeah I know, he wants an IP. I can clean him up but he is hell bent on catchin the guys. I think they have a trojan on his comuter or soemthing. I don't know, he can't explain things very well.

Does anyone remember the website that lets you grab a pictures address and when somebody views the picture it emails the IP to an E-Mail account? Basically I need a way to get somebody's IP. I have a friend who says somebody uses all his accounts, besides his banking account, and just fucks...
