Max (http://sbooth.org/Max/) is among the more popular free options. :) I really like it, although it's been a while since I used it. It supports FLAC and OGG, although I used it for other things...

funny. "interpolated" 6MP. you can interpolate all you want - why not a 100 MP? :rolleyes:

thanks all. I'm aware of the apple refurbs (my mini and macbook are refurbs. its a great way to save some cash!)
Thanks for the advice all. iLife is definitely required so I think he will just go for a standard version
thanks again
I don't think it's worth it. If you're going to raid1 the drives in the server you'll only be getting 500gb of usable space (- the space used for applications and OS-X). For the $200 saved over the server edition you'd be well on your way to a Drobo style storage solution, or even cheaper, the OWC Mercury Elite dual enclosure which you could use for Raid1 storage anyway.
Unless you have to have OS-X server - save your shekels.

Glad I saw the software updates, ordered a 30G black refurb, but it's a 5G, so, I can get the higher res videos and play games. that works for me. Couldnt beat it for $199 + tax.
I did the exact same thing! Its awesome!

It's a better connection than using crimp connectors, and is how your expensive electronics are manufactured (all the components are soldered to the PCB). ;)
Soldering wire isn't as common as crimp connectors due to costs (more labor intensive to solder, as well as more expensive materials and equipment is used).
Either way will work, so it's up to you (soldered version isn't quite as messy IMO).
The one I linked was 0.5 meters. You cannot go over 1.0 meters in total cable length with SATA drives, so please keep that in mind (the signal voltage is weak, and anything longer causes stability problems).
Skip this one.
Thanks for all the invaluable advice. I am now pretty much ready to put the order in for all the parts and upgrade this thing to 2x X5690, 2x SSD, 4x 3TB in RAID5 ,1880 Areca controller and the MaxUpgrades kit. The mac is already here, some company went bust and I picked up a new, boxed 2010 8-core machine for 2.7k with apple care which is sure as heck cheaper and less burdensome than building one from scratch.
It's a damn shame about not being able to boot off more than one volume that is on the 1880 controller as I ultimately wanted to have 2x 240GB 6G mercury drives each with a different OS in pass through mode, now it looks like I will go for a slightly cheaper SATA2 SSD for the Win 7 install since it will be off the onboard controller.
I suppose I could still RAID0 2x 240GB 6G Mercury drives and use bootcamp to install on a 240GB partition dedicated to Windows 7, but this would be a riskier setup since I would loose access to both OS if the RAID0 played up. The Mac would not have trouble booting two OS off a partitioned RAID0 volume would it?
The mercury drives do sound reliable though, do you think a RAID0 with the 2x new 6G Mercury's is viable option? Or should I get those RAID edition Mercury drives, what makes them more suitable for RAID anywhere?

in washington dc. differential equations class.
walked outside at 9:40ish to people rushing to leave town, national gaurdsmen and policemen driving hummers around- general confusion and terror.
spent the day looking for a red cross station to give blood- the red cross building was already closed.
watched the smoke from the pentagon from my aprtment.
terrible day. not something i'll ever forget.

If Apple wanted to make their phone available worldwide, signing with T-mobile would be the better choice. Compared to Cingular, Deutsche Telekom (the parent company to T-mobile USA) has a much larger market worldwide, covering Germany, the United States, Great Britain, Austria, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Poland, Belarus, Hungary, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovena, and Slovakia.
...Although Apple could sign a contract with just T-mobile USA; anything is possible.
i dont think it matters whether it's t-mobile or cingular... so long as its NOT VERIZON (or sprint/nextel!)... with the sim card phones some one will make it work... and sim phones are generally more popular than cdma phones (is that what they are still called these days? :confused: )... when i was in china, you could go buy a sim card off the street like a calling card and stick it into my phone

I'm not sure which Mac you have but if has a spot for a regular SD card than this product will work (http://www.newegg.com/Store/Brand.aspx?Brand=1471&name=PNY-Technologies-Inc). It is a micro-sd card with an adapter so you can use it in a regular SD port.
If your Mac doesn't have a SD port on it than you should probably get a SD card reader that connects using USB. Newegg has a couple (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007958%20600021094%20600031471%20600021621%204024&IsNodeId=1&name=%240%20-%20%2410&ShowDeactivatedMark=False&Order=RATING&Pagesize=20) that should work.

Try resetting the system management controller first (smc).
Resetting SMC will not have any effect on a hardware problem. Did you even read the OP's post? Or did you read it and you simply have no idea what you're talking about?

They may not have noticed in Cupertino, but Windows DRM is locking people into Windows just as effectively as Fairplay is locking people into iPods. Apple are allowing Microsoft to get a foothold in a market that Apple should own by now.
Yeah this will leverage Zune sales too.

I got back to my fraternity house after my morning class just before the plane hit the second tower. There was a lot of confusion - 25 people crowded around the TV, trying to figure out what was going on. All anyone knew was that one of the WTC Towers was smoldering. And as we watched, the second plane hit.
I go to school in upstate NY, so there were a lot of frantic phone calls that went unreturned over the next minutes and hours. Some eventually got through. Some were never returned.

between this and the new Spymac... 2004 will feel so fresh!
I also just saw video snack bar menus at my AMC theater which totally made me feel like I was in the future! Hooray for new things!
Oh, and this new MacRumors design is coo... feels much more volumetric.

Sorry let me clarify, I'm @ BB in SLC. There is just me here, well my chair and me. At 4PM they give you a ticket so you don't have to wait in line for the last hour. So stupid.
Did they confirm to you that they will have all models for sure?

So wait, not only is the timeline between iPhone 4 and 5 the largaest gap in the 5 iterations of the phone but it will only be minor internal hardware improvements?
All the while these new Android phones look slicker and slicker by the day with much larger screens (something I personally like)?
My iPhone 3G is on it's last legs, if the iPhone 5 is just a spec bumped 4 then count me out.

Has anyone find it necessary to close and re-open Chrome, iTunes, and Finder on Mac OSX (SL) from time to time? This applies only if you never turn off your Mac.
I don't use Chrome, but I never have to close and reopen Safari, iTunes, Finder or any other app. The only time I restart is when Software Update requires it.

What are we supposed to make fun of now?
Of course I guess just because the product is dead doesn't mean we can't keep making fun of ole' poo brown Zune.
Officially confirms that this was a really, really bad idea:
http://www.crunchgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/zune-tattoo.jpg
Nah, the icon itself is super cool. I'm sure the Zune is obscure enough that he can say that he designed the icon himself.
