Hello everyone.
I'm considering taking my 2011 MacBook pro back for kernel crashing with USB tethering in 64bit mode.
Has anyone been successful in getting a refund after the 15 return period?
Thanks.

I'm thinking about going all-Sidekick with T-Mobile, so I'm looking into selling my Samsung e105 color flip phone. About a year old, and is in good condition. Can be used with T-Mobile regular service, and also with To Go pay-as-you-go. Included with the phone are euro-adaptor, charger, leather case (cost $25) and a brand new belt clip I bought spur of the moment last week (darn Black Friday!)
Anybody interested? Gets great reception, and (shockingly) I have gone 4 and change days without plugging it in (to calibrate) and it lasted.
Features:
AIM Instant Messaging
Organizer Features
T-Zones enabled
Clear Speaker
Excellent display
Good physical condition.
IrDA Infrared transmitter
Not sure if I'm going to sell quite yet, just checking cash or trade interest. Shipping should be only a few bucks to the US, and I do have the original box and manuals. I have dealt with many people on MR forums and have eBay feedback under skokerz101.

Proper Keynesian response to a recession, particularly one headed quickly for a depression is deficit spending. Proven time and time again.
However, the neo-liberal whizz-kids who have been generally in charge of the consensus over the past 30 years always forget that the flip-side of the equation is to build a surplus when times are good, something that the Clinton (D) administration did by raising taxes on higher income earners and then handed it over to George W. Bush (R) who pissed it up the wall, giving tax cuts to billionaires and running up two wars without any of it being paid for in the long run, with the worst record of job creation of any president in history.
Cue massive recession and economic disaster after a housing bubble stoked by unregulated lenders, the dying days of the Bush and the incoming Obama administration had little choice to spend, because a recession is a problem of demand, not supply... as we can clearly see when corporations are now sitting on huge profits and the Dow is climbing steadily. But they're not creating jobs, because demand is slack, almost solely because of high unemployment.
Supply-side is a failure. It only looked good in the 80s because the Fed squeezed inflation out of the system by raising interest rates, then dropping them again... but interest rates across developed economies these days can hardly go lower. The limits of monetary policy, apart from measured quantitative easing, can go no further. Like Keynes said: like pushing on a piece of string.
The only way to raise demand is to pursue policies that further full employment. More jobs, more money in people's pockets, more revenue, more demand. However, Republicans in congress, after wasting many months of pursuing fruitless bills about abortion, defunding their pet hates etc. have a new, bright idea up their sleeves which I'm sure every forum member would like to see for themselves:
Lower wages and more unemployment
In a little-noticed economic report distributed by the office House Speaker John Boehner last week, the Republican staff of the Joint Economic Committee attempted to refute criticisms that the GOP’s economic agenda would deliver too much pain too fast.
The paper makes the party’s anti-Keynesian case that fiscal consolidation (read: spending cuts) can spur immediate economic growth and reduce unemployment. But in making that case, the Republicans may also have given Democrats some political ammunition.
For example, the paper predicts that cutting the number of public employees would send highly skilled workers job hunting in the private sector, which in turn would lead to lower labor costs and increased employment. But “lowering labor costs” is economist-speak for lowering wages — does the GOP want to be in the position of advocating for lower wages for voters who work in the private sector?
http://www.nationaljournal.com/economy/gop-prescription-spending-cuts-and-lower-wages-equal-more-jobs-20110325
Why it's foolish:
“Much of this study relies on the growth performance of a few (very) small open economies — Sweden, Canada, New Zealand, notably — after 1994,” said University of Texas economist James Galbraith, who was executive director of the JEC in the early eighties. “It’s easy to look good if you are a small country with a freshly devalued currency selling into a world boom. The ‘lessons’ will not apply to the United States, which cannot just contract domestically, devalue the dollar (sacrificing our reserve-currency position) and expect the rest of the world to bail us out by buying our exports.”
The GOP argument “would have more force if the economy today looked more like the economy in the 1990s expansion — the longest in our country’s history and the last time we had a balanced budget,” Chad Stone, chief economist for the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, wrote in response to the JEC report. “In today’s economy, weak demand, not competition for funds, is the much more plausible explanation for inadequate investment.”
As the Republican report itself acknowledges, economists at the International Monetary Fund — no shrinking violet when it comes to prescribing harsh spending cuts — have contended that many of the studies cited in the report are flawed. In the October 2010 World Economic Outlook, IMF researchers asserted that cutting spending “typically reduces output and raises unemployment in the short term,” even if the non-Keynesian effects cushion the blow slightly.
We're already seeing the results of cutting spending during a recession over here in the UK and also Ireland. Unemployment on the rise, revenues down, services slashed, growth down.
Why do we put these fools in time and time again? Because many of us think like peasants:
This new Holy Trinity of right-wing basket cases has been pushing all sorts of crazy hallucinations of late, from Bachmann warning that the Americorps program would eventually be turned into a regime of forced re-education for American youth, to Beck’s meanderings about Obama creating FEMA-run concentration camps to warehouse conservative dissidents, to Norris and Beck stirring up talk of secessionist movements. And a lot of people are having fun with this, because, well, it’s funny. It’s like a Farrelly Brothers version of right-wing political agitation. But it’s also kind of sad.
After all, the reason the winger crowd can’t find a way to be coherently angry right now is because this country has no healthy avenues for genuine populist outrage. It never has. The setup always goes the other way: when the excesses of business interests and their political proteges in Washington leave the regular guy broke and screwed, the response is always for the lower and middle classes to split down the middle and find reasons to get pissed off not at their greedy bosses but at each other. That’s why even people like Beck’s audience, who I’d wager are mostly lower-income people, can’t imagine themselves protesting against the Wall Street barons who in actuality are the ones who ****ed them over. Beck pointedly compared the AIG protesters to Bolsheviks: “[The Communists] basically said ‘Eat the rich, they did this to you, get ‘em, kill ‘em!’” He then said the AIG and G20 protesters were identical: “It’s a different style, but the sentiments are exactly the same: Find ‘em, get ‘em, kill ‘em!’” Beck has an audience that’s been trained that the rich are not appropriate targets for anger, unless of course they’re Hollywood liberals, or George Soros, or in some other way linked to some acceptable class of villain, to liberals, immigrants, atheists, etc. — Ted Turner, say, married to Jane Fonda.
But actual rich people can’t ever be the target. It’s a classic peasant mentality: going into fits of groveling and bowing whenever the master’s carriage rides by, then fuming against the Turks in Crimea or the Jews in the Pale or whoever after spending fifteen hard hours in the fields. You know you’re a peasant when you worship the very people who are right now, this minute, conning you and taking your ****. Whatever the master does, you’re on board. When you get frisky, he sticks a big cross in the middle of your village, and you spend the rest of your life praying to it with big googly eyes. Or he puts out newspapers full of innuendo about this or that faraway group and you immediately salute and rush off to join the hate squad. A good peasant is loyal, simpleminded, and full of misdirected anger. And that’s what we’ve got now, a lot of misdirected anger searching around for a non-target to mis-punish… can’t be mad at AIG, can’t be mad at Citi or Goldman Sachs. The real villains have to be the anti-AIG protesters! After all, those people earned those bonuses! If ever there was a textbook case of peasant thinking, it’s struggling middle-class Americans burned up in defense of taxpayer-funded bonuses to millionaires. It’s really weird stuff. And bound to get weirder, I imagine, as this crisis gets worse and more complicated.

So, the sight of the video in question, from a lobbying organisation with links to Jack Abramoff and that represents Exxon-Mobil amongst others, decrying government spending is nothing but empty but loud crap of the highest order. What they want is for government to spend money on them. Screw those who have lost their livelihoods, their jobs, their homes in the biggest recession in any of our lifetimes, let those suckers pay the bill. In fact, screw you, take a pay cut, be fearful of losing your job with all your benefits. We'll also press to weaken child labour laws so you're competing with kids...
Living standards have remained stagnant over the past decades, papered over by a housing bubble and cheap goods made in China while your healthcare costs have been going through the roof. But time and time again, you put the same oafs in who wrap themselves in the flag and carry a cross.

So I just got new radiatiors installed in my house. Two of the four were leaking, and one was in the bedroom. I got larger (length) radiators too, so they take up a little more space. In my bedroom, I have two dressers, a nightstand, my desk, and my bed, which is picture one. I am going to need to move things around because I dont think its good to have the nightstand in front of the radiator, since the heat might damage the wood. So I came up with pictures two and three. The other problem I have with my current setup is that my chair hits the railing on the bed, and im kinda stuck close to the desk. The only issue I have with picture two is the dresser that is at the end of the bed, is about 4 feet tall, so it would be taller than the bed. I dont think thats a problem, but Im not sure if that would look right. Thoughts?

So anyway I installed disk #1 and proceeded to erase and do a clean install. So everything went well but it did not ask for the second disk??? weird. But it said install completed and it rebooted then a folder with a flashing question mark was on my desk top.
I was re-reading this to see if there was anything I was missing. Explain this part above very carefully. If you re-formatted hard drive, then installed disc 1, then erased, this would be why you're getting an error cause nothing is there, and hence why it wouldn't ask for disc 2 cause there is nothing on the hard drive asking for anything. That is why I said format the hard drive, and start over.

girls generally dont care for the size of the phone case because they usually carry the phone in their bags unlike guys who carry them in pockets...
I'm aware about the size as she carries her phone in her bag or her back pocket.
When I asked her about the "style" she didn't care either. Only the color. She hates the black Otterbox but obviously loves the Pink.

Since you want the computer to be a media hub for your family, and you already have 100GB of media, I would go for the larger hard drive. Your media needs are only going to increase - especially with pictures and video from your T1i.
On the Office/iWorks issue I have to agree that if you are going to be exchanging files with office users (i.e. from work, family, etc), then just get office.
It will help for the kids also, when they are working on files for school. My kids were always working on Word Documents, Powerpoint Documents, etc. After spending alot of time on the documents at home, they need to know they work at school on the Windows machines...
On the subject of Applecare, this will provide you with two additional years of warranty coverage - after your warranty ends. You have to purchase it before the warranty ends, but it doesn't matter if you buy it on day 1 or day 365 - you get the same amount of coverage either way.
Remember Applecare doesn't cover accidental damage. Only warranty type issues, such as a dead motherboard, bad LCD, etc. Sometimes I think you do get preferential treatment at the Apple store though if you have purchased Applecare.
I have had very good luck with my Apple machines, so I don't tend to purchase it. That said, I have a pair of iMac G5's (2006 vintage) that could probably been repaired out of warranty with Applecare.
I would tend to agree on waiting to purchase it if you have any doubts. Give yourself 10 months or so to live with the machine, and see how it is working for you. Read the forums here and see how others with the same models are doing. If you are comfortable with it then you don't have to purchase it. If you have any concerns, then feel free to purchase it for some additional piece of mind.
One last thing - make sure you purchase an external hard drive if you don't already have one. Set it up with Time Machine (included with your Mac) or the backup program of your choice, and make sure all of that media is backed up. If you can, get two drives, and keep one of them at work, or somewhere else offsite, just incase something happens at your home.
Good luck with your new Mac!

Well thats annoying.
I normally display all my music by album, and iTunes used to display by Song, when i Show Duplicates.
Somewhere along the updates to iTunes they stopped making this change and just sort via Albums.
If i sortvia songs again it displays everything the right way, but when i leave Show Duplicates i have to re-sort it via Albums again.
Ah well, at least it works.
