John, it was a joke, seriously.
This is turning into old times.
So you dont think calling a member "slow witted" is an insult??? It is a matter of opinion as to whether he was or was not, it is not a fact. For every member that said he was, there is another that said he wasnt. Seeing as it is a matter of opinion, and could be considered insulting, it is best kept to yourself. It wasnt kept to joey-j's self, and so i retorted light-heartedly to let him know how it feels, and to point out that it is pretty weak of someone to curse behind their back.
I dont know how good your maths is, but over here in the uk we learn a correlation to be a group of data regarding 2 properties. In a strong correlation the data would represent a significant pattern.
I might also remind people regarding the myth about spikey cursing, he was not the only one, and on the majority of the occasions where he did, there was a point included in the post, which you missed.
Anyway, im going out now, into the real world, to meet some people, and wont be back again to argue in an internet forum. What a strange day.
I respect you all.
My math is excellent. The formula for correlation is:
{sigma(XY) - [sigma(X)]*[sigma(Y)]/N}/
sqrt[(sigma(X^2)-((sigma(X))^2)/N]*[(sigma(Y^2)-((sigma(Y))^2)/N]}
X and Y are both matrices. If we had multiple instances of Spikey making insults and Joey J leaving, then perhaps we could talk about correlation. With only one instance of Joey J leaving, the math isn't going to support any significant findings, so no one ever talks about correlation with a sample size of one.
As for:
<<For every member that said he was, there is another that said he wasnt.>>
I seriously doubt that. That has about as much logical sense behind as "for every person who says the sky is blue, there is another who says that it's red."
Spikey was pretty obtuse, period. But it's not his fault, I don't suppose -- he probably just didn't have the background necessary to put together cogent argumentation, which resulted on his excessive swearing to back up "arguments" that wouldn't stand ipso facto.

What "clock" are you talking about?
The HBH-15 weighs in at 32grams. say 25 without the boom. Figure the weight of 25 pennines "clipped" to each ear. Don't know how that would sit with me. Also, having used VERY good wireless headphones in the past, I'm not impressed (the silly Apple earbuds sound as good).
The clock I'm referring to is part of iPod firmware 1.2. The clock seems to shave a noticable (~10-15%) percentage of battery time (I don't know firsthand, as my 20GB came with 1.2), and has been widely discussed on the Apple forums. Using the alarms feature apparently shaves off over 30%!
I can verify that I get nowhere near 10 hours of iPod use per charge.

Currently they will pass us within the year and the Overclockers Club will pass us in 90 days :eek: Team Portugal is also slated to pass us in 2.6 years... before we pass General [M]ayhem in 5.7 years! We're looking at a net of a 2 place drop in the next 5 years unless we do something. :(

Not that I expect anyone here to believe me since I'm not going to provide the kind of proof that people in general are going to expect.... That being said.
Apple along with it's cpu partner('s) have been working on the next big CPU jump for quite some time. A few **YEARS** in fact. Nothing has changed. Where these people get the idea that stuff like a MAJOR CPU update happens in a 3 to 6 month windows are totally off the freaking beam. We are talking YEARS folks. CPUs and new motherboards are not whipped up in a weekend with 6 guys and a few cases of beer.
The next CPU Apple is going to use began it's life sometime in 2000 and yep the baking process is still going on...
I'm gonna shut up now since I don't want to say anything more but all of this FUD and cloak-n-dagger crap is getting pretty silly.
My last bit of adivice... The comment about Apple not going with the Power4 chip should not be taken as if it came down from God himself... And thats all I'm gonna say on that topic.
Remember worrying is nothing but wasted energy... Kick back relax and enjoy the show. :D

I like Fire better than Adium X, they both have different and similar features, I just prefer some of the features that Fire provides over the ones that Adium X provides.

Second, it's a violation of DCMA.
Why? He's not breaking copy protection, because the protection wasn't there in the first place.
I can't believe that people think this is a bad thing. Don't you like freedom? :eek:

Boeing to stop making 747s, fake executive quoted as saying "yeah they're one of our biggest sellers, but have you seen how many parts go into one one those things."
After buying the guy a few more drinks we were able to further learn, "Boeing will be replacing the 747 with paper airplanes."
The peanuts bought us "It take 3-4 months to build a 747, but only minutes to make a paper airplane."

i did think about it. and i didn't mean now, i meant when the TiBook was updated.

My fun for March:
Hotel Dusk (Nintendo DS)
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)
Red Steel (Wii)
I finished Hotel Dusk, I'm somewhere in the middle of Zelda, and I haven't started Red Steel yet. Ok, I played the opening scene and fired a few rounds just for kicks, but haven't seriously attempted to play it.

Very unlikely, someone was smoking too much ganga when they made that one up.
well, i've already thought of a couple ways to make this possible. and
im not even working at apple. so i believe if they wanted to they would
be able to THINK of something.
