QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 03:00 PM) Shouldn't be an issue, all you have to do is look up what kind of ram you're currently using and buy the same type...Amazon and Newegg pretty much ask what system you have, from what year, and show you exactly what kind of memory to buy. I bought 8 gigs for my iMac for 40 bucks off NewEgg and it worked perfectly. I bought it with my comp. Haven't seen that in amazon though. Where?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 03:20 PM) You are a troll man, what the f*** is the point of this post other than to get people to disagree with you? "Hey guys, I know that I chose to enter a political sub forum on the website, and I just want you to know that by doing so, I think the entire board has become political, and I don't like it. Neener, neener neenner!" Thanks for the opinion, but for the 15-20 people that post here regularly we enjoy the back and forth (speaking for myself anyway). I disagree with SS on just about everything, but I still enjoy arguing with him (and others obviously). well said.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 02:50 PM) Oh, the biggest rip off at Apple is buying ram from them. So long as you can add your own ram, never *ever* buy memory from Apple. it's a huge pain in the ass, i've made 3 incorrect online orders of RAM who incorrectly promised it'd work on my mac as well ... fpptthhhh

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 02:00 AM) Actually, the discussion is terrible. In fili, you're allowed to take personal shots at posters because everybody thinks they're right and everybody else is wrong. That's why i stay out of here. i wouldn't last two seconds in here without getting accused of trolling. Then I would get warned by a mod and eventually suspended if i didn't succumb. :crying :crying :crying :crying

we have no previous examples of fake rumors about upcoming apple products.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 10:34 PM) I think that was the most I've ever overreacted after a Sox trade or game. I was not happy about that one. BMAC was such a fan favorite, it was understandable. I was really happy for him this year.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 09:30 PM) Apple makes very solid products. I would never expect them to make a bad one. That creates brand loyalty. Most people don't understand specs. They just want the product to work and work well, and if they've had good experiences with apple, it's snowballed. But it's really hard to innovate. I have a hard time believing this next decade will be anywhere close to the previous. It's very possible by the end of this decade, apple will have as bad a reputation as microsoft does now.

I don't have the time to search, but, I remember being cautious about Robin in that role, but I really bought in that this was a signal that the next 3 years would be brutal. It made sense they would hire this guy cheaply to oversee some re-building years. The offseason that followed saw no meaningful signings or trades that brought in anything to help now. It really was hard to grasp that the team could merely improve from it's deathpit of 2011. Also remember, that 2011 team for a lot of us was the most unlikeable sox team I've ever watched. I wanted them to doubledown with a real baseball guy as a sign of good faith, and they ended up bringing one in, just one we didn't know had it in him.

http://www.owldolatrous.com/?p=288&fwc...;fwcl=1&fwl I know posting a long-article in this forum is like not posting anything at all, but it's a big issue that requires deep thoughts. And I think he nailed it.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 09:31 PM) Just keep ignoring the fact that the people supposedly defending the notion of equal rights and equal acceptance are the same people that feel so much hate and animosity towards a specific group of people. At least I'm not going to write any laws to take away their basic rights.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 09:25 PM) Is because Apple has a huge marketing campaign. Microsoft is the only other company I can ever remember advertising their mp3 players on TV a lot. Possibly the Dell DJ, but when you are constantly seeing something advertised on TV, you are going to think about it first. Ask anyone you know, and almost all of them you ask will say Apple invented the mp3 player. They were never the first, they were just the loudest. Just because you are unaware of other companies that produce products doesn't mean a whole lot other than you aren't looking in to alternatives, and they don't advertise as much. Part of making a product successful is getting people to buy it. It also helped that it was a very good mp3 player. Those mp3 cd players were garbage. There are a million products that may be good but don't take off, and those companies have no one to blame but themselves. Apple was not a major player in the early 00s. The imac was kinda getting more popular. Ipod took off because it was a really good product. If you would have made a bet it 00 on who would make the next big music device, i would have probably bet sony.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 08:06 PM) I get the argument here, it is just a flat out wrong assumption being made by the author. Look no further than the US. There are more women than men in the US. Would anyone argue that they have privilege in this country? That is just an awful basis for an argument. I concede the point.

Apple used as an anathema to drag and drop... hmmmmm

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 09:01 PM) generally is very different than "always". Someone needs to get out more. In those cases, the minority is imposing it's will on the majority. Whereas in this case, the majority is imposing it's will on the minority. It's the christian coalition who have so vehemently pushed for absurd laws to keep gays a second-class citizen. What will they lose when this is done? They'll lose respect, but they'll have lost zero rights. They'll still be able to marry. Not quite syria.

Was everyone alright with us re-defining marriage as a consenting act where both parties must be at least 16 or older (in most states)?

That means they failed.

Indeed, some humans like monogamy, and as gay people are humans, we should allow them to form a family.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 06:31 PM) Explain to me how the physical marital act between same sex couples can procreate life. My point in citing his blog was the bit about if you're against gay marriage your a bigot automatically. That's right up SS's wheelhouse, so I figured it'd get some discussion. Then why let old widows re-marry? Why let women who can't reproduce marry, or vice versa? Why don't we null any marriage that didn't result in children? Those people are ruining marriage as we know it! Why aren't we treating those populations like second-class citizens?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 06:21 PM) heartbreaking for raisman. Can't believe she messed up the beam when she's looked so good on it. But fantastic news for Douglas. She was amazing and so consistent.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 03:19 PM) No it is not. This is fundamentally false. And you know that. This is about a private company using its money and influence to make sure the government continues enforcing their owners religious beliefs and whether or not to support that company while doing so. And to a lesser extent, it's also about a pretty poor sounding government response in a number of cities. in a nutshell. It's also a perfect encapsulation of the phenomenon of those who are helping deny rights to others acting as victims when others try and gain those same rights. Note, not take away their rights, they can still marry their loves, have wonderful families, live their lives. They just won't be able to force a population into a sub-class. Yeah, it might just be your opinion, but that opinion has real consequences for my friends and neighbors. If it's your opinion that Chick-Fil-A is overrated, that's fine, that's not taking any rights from chick-fil-a. But an opinion on the rights of a minority? Sorry, it holds a bit more weight. And you will be challenged on it. And, in the end, those against gay marriage will lose. And maybe this isn't the fight i'd choose, but to me it's a real sign of just how close we are.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 03:22 AM) Well, it's not like the guy used gay people to shake down political contributions and suck up some votes come November... come on now. "He just expressed his opinion!!!!!!!!!!!" Gay people, what is worse: A guy doing something that improves your lives and continues your fight for equality, even if the reasons may be political or A guy who is spending his fortune to keep you as a second class citizen, even though he believes it in his heart that you are godless sinners that should burn in hell Tough choice. A man doing the right thing even if for the wrong reasons, is much better then the man doing the wrong thing, following his convictions.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 1, 2012 -> 10:00 PM) He reminds me a lot of Blago the way he thinks. I think this is the one time that someone is being unfair in their characterization of Blago.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 12:14 AM) Listen to what he has to say...and then take an evening or two just to think on it, just to be respectful. If you still think you don't need to stay, then tell him you considered the offer, but you just don't think it's the best move for your future. If you have to give him a decision before you hear from the other company, then just accept it and still take the other job if you need to. There really isn't any other play, other than stalling for time somehow with your own company. Just to piggy back off this: if the compensation adjustment is positive, it's going to be hard to not let that sway you. We all strive to be good at our jobs and it's nice to be recognized. But give yourself some time to really think about what you really want, and if this new job offers it. If it doesn't you are now in a much better position since you are paid adequately. Basically, don't let other people wanting you, sway you from what you need from your career.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 1, 2012 -> 11:02 PM) Oh come on now, donating money to a group and telling your employees to keep the queers out of the store are two entirely different things. GMAB. Edit: and what as the CEO done to "actively promote" discrimination? Stating he doesn't like gay marriage? Edit 2: and if that's the case, that being against gay marriage is promoting discrimination, i'm sure some of you voted for/donated to Obama's campaign. You know, the guy who was also against gay marriage. So really you were actively promoting discrimination as well! Yes, that guy that pretty much immediately removed the federal defense for DOMA.
