I have about 20 TB of photos. The biggest advice I can give you that others have stated is from the beginning organize your photos in a very logical manner and edit the meta-data to reflect what they are. This is very very important for when you get very large collections of photos.
Also unless you have a mac pro tower where you can put hard drives inside your best bet is an external for your pics.
With that many photos, do you 'phase out' HDD after a period or time? Meaning: lets say you have three 1 TB HDD filled with photos, do you replace drives before they fail? Then, how long have your HDD lasted without being used? Thanks for the information as it is "food for thought."

Reach and New Vegas will probably tide me over until well into next spring. Those 2 games will be a great 1-2 combo for me. Tons of action and multiplayer with Reach, and when I need a break from that, a good slow paced RPG with NV.
I was seriously disappointed with the Reach beta at the time. There were lots of things in it that I didn't like or agree with in how it played. But in their subsequent BWU's and podcasts, Bungie have announced that many of the things that many people had issue with were in fact wrong/broken, and have been fixed for GM. So, that is great. Add to that all of the news that has come out recently, and in the coming weeks, and this game is shaping up to be right in my wheel-house.
Same goes for New Vegas. I played the absolute crap out of FO3, so when I heard that NV was going to be mostly the same game, just with new character and story, I was super hyped. I played Oblivion a bit, but never got into it, but for some reason FO3 just connected with me. So hearing that NV would be sticking with the same engine and general gameplay mechanics is great. Hopefully NV has a ton of DLC to go with it, like FO3 did.

Let's hope they are trying to patent multiple ideas. I hate to say it, that looks just plain ugly and complicated. I love the ipod for is it's simpllicity. This looks like a mess. To each his/her own.

I would not say the iPad stinks as an ereader, but the kindle is certainly better for reading books. I have read 15 to 20 full length books on my iPad, about the same on my phone, and hundreds on my kindle.
I travel a lot , so since I got my iPad, I do not bring the kindle (I have a DX). I am actually considering buying a little one just for novels, I got the DX for PDFs, a function the iPAD is 1000000 times better suited for.
All three devices are better than a PC for reading books. The order is clearly Kindle, iPad, iPhone.
You're right..."stinks" is a bad choice of words....but clearly the iPad is nowhere near the same ballpark of a reading experience when it comes to reading books...sitting in front of the screen for 1-3 hours at a time.
Reading restaurant menus as PDFs or emails or blogs or websites...the iPad is great and definitely better than the Kindle...the Kindle needs to either put a 10000x better web browser on the product or kill it...it's terrible...especially just typing in a URL. Keyboard could use a major overhaul, too.

Hrmpf reports (http://hrmpf.com/wordpress/90/apple-describes-new-interface-for-ipod) on a particularly revealing patent application from Apple that was published on October 26, 2006.
The name of the patent application is "Electronic Device Having Display and Surrounding Touch Sensitive Bezel for User Interface and Control". The patent describes and depicts a full-screen touch sensitive iPod very similar to the various Video iPod Mockups (http://guides.macrumors.com/Gallery_of_Video_iPod_Mockups) that have been floating around the web. The application was filed in June of 2006.
The focus of the patent is the incorporation of a touch-sensitive bezel (edge of screen) that can adapt to the screen contents to provide an input method for the user. Hrmpf suggests that the use of this non-screen area would eliminate many of the "smudge" and "scratch" concerns for a full-screen touch iPod.
The diagrams included clearly depict what appears to be a full-screen Video iPod. The rumors of a full-screen Video iPod have been ongoing for some time, but picked up steam in February 2006 (http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2006/02/20060209095419.shtml) with claims that the full screen Video iPod would arrive in the coming months. Later reports (http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2006/04/20060413131333.shtml) indicated a delay with some recent reports (http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2006/10/20061018143033.shtml) of a late 2006/early 2007 release.
Numerous other patents have described possible touch-interface methods, but this is the first patent application to depict a full-screen iPod so clearly. It also could represent the "None-Touch" iPod interface that was described in July (http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2006/07/20060724212925.shtml).
Update: There seems to be some misinterpretation of the picture. The circles in the bezel do not represent "buttons". The entire bezel would be a smooth surface that would be touch sensitive. A touch-sensitive Bezel iPod would still look like this mockup:
http://guides.macrumors.com/images/thumb/0/04/Ipodvideo.jpg/120px-Ipodvideo.jpg
This patent was purchased from a company in Buffalo, NY
It will be implemented in the new ipods.

If you are going for 2TB drives, the WD Caviar Green drives are among the favorites. It's been reported they have some issues regarding the high load cycle counts (http://www.google.com/#hl=en&sugexp=ldymls&xhr=t&q=WD%20caviar%20green%20high%20load%20cycle%20count&cp=10&pq=wd%20green%20high%20load%20cycle%20count&pf=p&sclient=psy&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=WD+caviar+green+high+load+cycle+count&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=6cbe03e6833a46ef) due to the firmware...
I personally like the Samsung F4 (http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&biw=1071&bih=1031&tbm=shop&q=samsung+spinpoint+2TB&aq=f&aqi=g1&aql=&oq=&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=2c1304d622775efd) drives. IME they are faster, low power and very quiet - and a bit less expensive.
But either way, you can't go wrong with any of them - or any major brand high capacity drive for that matter. You'll find opinions in every direction. All drives fail sooner or later, and all of them are subject to DOAs. All of them offer fairly good customer service, depending where you buy.

Its not going to work that way. cablevision fixed their 1.0.1 app that it doesn't connect via ipad's VPN. how is it going to work while being tethered to your iphone?
He's thinking that the app checks if there is a VPN connection on the iPad. If the connection is done on an iPhone then tethered to the iPad it wouldn't see a VPN connection on the iPad.

A. Which version of Xcode?
B. What kind of file are you pasting into? .cpp, .mm, something else?
C. If you disable syntax coloring, does the problem disappear?
A) 3.2 (or whatever the latest on 3 is)
B) it is a relatively lengthy .cpp file
c) I am not sure, I will check that
How much free space available on the boot drive, and what size drvie, before the paste operation?
Some 40GB worth of space (getting to the point I need a new drive!)
If this is an issue with the syntax highlighter, then it wouldn't be this code per se, but the context in which the code is being inserted. I notice that it's really deeply indented (or at least for my style it is).
Yeah it is fairly nested unfortunately as a result of a lot of logic :(
It is possible that the use of "i" as an iterator was causing problems as this was nested in another larger loop using the variable "i" in an alternate iterator.
Maybe xcode just goes insane trying to track the variables if you do this? STill seems weird to lag that badly.

No Bootcamp doesn't work like that; it's either OS X or Windows. If you want to run both, you need to use a virtual machine such as VMWare Fusion or Parallels. Windows 7 is the OS of choice between XP and 7. Probably the Home version of 7 would be all you need.

That is what gaming is ;). Sorry, but uh, gaming is killing time. You really think you do something productive when you game? No, you do something fun that you enjoy in your spare time. And if it isn't your spare time.. then you're going to find it hard to pay your bills in the real world if you are so addicted to gaming you are doing it rather than the stuff you *need* to do (like go to work).
This is a rant, so no comment necessary.
Depends on what you are talking about. RPGS like final fantasy? Sorry, really don't need tactile controls for that. In ways, touch is better cause you don't have to go scrolling for the command you want, you can instantly touch what you want to do.I never mentioned RPGs.
Honestly, we can take your argument further. Your console games suck cause they don't have enough controls like a computer game does. For example try doing a realistic flight sim on a console? Ain't going to happen. You need a lot more ability to do a lot of commands (and quickly, not just scrolling through), something having a keyboard with a lot more ways to have different commands, gives you. I'm actually amazed some one did a decent flight sim (of course it has the same problem as consoles do, but actually if I were on a bigger screen like an iPad, it probably could be better than consoles cause they can just have you touch the controls on the "dashboard" giving you more options to control than a controller with limited buttons. So once again, touch screen is better than a control pad, but only if you have enough real estate on that touch screen).
Not sure why you bring up consoles based on your earlier comment, or did you forget what you wrote? This happens from time to time when you tend to write to much. You lose your train of thought....snip Consoles shouldn't even be discussed in this discussion. That is like comparing apples and oranges, they really have no bearing in this at all.
In any regard, your knowledge of what is possible shows a fundamental lack of imagination. You seem to keep missing the point of more complicated control mechanisms, a gamer does not want to look away from the screen to find a control. Touch screen too often for complicated games has you looking for where the action button is.
Of course, for some games, the controller on a console is better cause you do want some simplicity. And then there are games like racing games where sorry, your controller SUX! I'll take my iphone's tilt control on a racing game over a frikkin d-pad or joy stick. Of course, the best for that is an actual steering wheel and pedals :).
Racing games suck for a non gamer. A controller gives more finite control of the physics of driving.
What type of control is best depends on the game ;). You can't just generalize here and you're being very short sighted if you think the controller is a end all be all and that there aren't things touch screen is better for.
None of which you proved in your counter points. Ask any gamer, any real gamer, what he would prefer Grand Turismo or Forenza.
I'm going to turn this around on you. Mario? Are you frikkin kidding me? Yeah, I am going to compare them both... they're both cheesy little games. What is with some of you people and your Mario love? There are far better games out there. And I hate how Nintendo just does Mario everything. Mario racing cart? Why not Gran Turismo? That's a far better and much more in depth racing game. Even Need for Speed is far better.
Mario is a great party game when you have people over I guess. Nintendo I suppose is good for kiddy games and social games. But honestly, I can't believe you're holding up the Mario name and having some sort of snub about being a real gamer. Mario is as much a time waster as Angry Birds (Which honestly isn't a bad thing, cheesy games that are just fun but you don't have to get into can be fun in their own right. But don't frikkin sit there and tell me I don't like in depth games and use *mario* as your example. Shoot, in general Nintendo isn't better for that really, they're "time wasters" are just in a different format. I would honestly think some one who cares about in depth would be more interested in Xbox or Playstation. I'm sure Nintendo has some but I am sure having a hard time finding any for the Wii my mom gave me).
Damn, you really just don't get gaming. Your comparisons show it. Yes there are better games than the Mario series, but better is subjective. Younger people may not get Metal Gear Solid/Socom/GTA etc. Your dislike or not understanding the popularity of Mario is not relevant. Millions and millions and millions of Mario games sell,. Why? Because people like them. You stand alone and out of the loop. But that's OK. It's you're personal preference.
In regard to Mario Cart specifically, it is one fun game to play alone or with people, especially if you have children. Totally different audience than Gran Turismo. The in depth comment was not used in relation to Mario. You got that mixed up. However, the Mario side scroll and 3D games are in comparison far more in depth and challenging than "Angry Birds." Sorry that is just the way it is.
I thought when you said depth you meant actually having a story and having to get into the game to finish it cause you need to get through all sorts of levels vs. this game is fun to play at any time. Most of Mario isn't something you need to get into for long periods of time, you can pick it up and play for a bit, play with others, have fun, but you aren't really getting into some extended play (I'll give you that Mario RPG had a story, but it still was more cheesy/humorous. I still prefer my Square soft RPGs, and even Breath of Fire IV).
You're guessing what I'm thinking now?
Well.
1. Usually multiplayers require the people run the same system so your scenario wouldn't happen.
That is why I used "if possible". The precedent for multi platform interplay is being set by Steam with PS3, MAC and PC on Portal 2. Maybe you missed my earlier link.
2. I prefer solitary games to multi-player games (I will admit I'm not huge into games like Doom or whatever the equivalent is these days. The only shooting games I like are ones with a good story, usually horror story, like Silent Hill). My favorite games have a story that unveils as you play it, usually those are more solitary games. So I don't really care about playing against others..
That old personal prefrence thing is rearing it's ugly head again. No one cares about what you like.
3. Which makes sense I am not a huge Nintendo fan, it's great more for social and kiddy games. Sony and Microsoft cater more to my kind of games.
I took the libertiy to highlight some key items in red. These indicate the "I"ism of your thinking. Never try to make a point in forum relation to yourself. In this case the I's don't have it.
This is a rant, so no comment necessary.

I took the libertiy to highlight some key items in red. These indicate the "I"ism of your thinking. Never try to make a point in forum relation to yourself. In this case the I's don't have it.

Thanks for the link. It wouldn't work on my iMac 800 - hardware not supported.
Thanks anyway! :)

Are these iTunes Music Store AACs (protected) or ones you did? If they're protected you have to burn them to an audio CD and then rip them as mp3. I don't know of any other way. If they're AACs you encoded, then whatever you used (Quicktime I would assume) should be able to convert them. iTunes will do it, but you said you wanted to use Windows so I'm not sure.
Hmm...now I re-read your post and wonder. Why do you have to convert them to get them off the iPod? There are utilities that will transfer them (at least a dozen for Mac, must be some Windows as well). Or did I misunderstand something?

Cheers for the info. Is there any way to get itunes to downscale to 16 bit in order for me to load onto an iPod? I don't want to move down to 128 kbps but something inbetween.
I don't really understand your question...
You'll need to re-encode your content, then you can choose whatever bitrate you want if you choose to go lossy, otherwise there's always Apple Lossless. You can use Max for this.

Not to get off subject but if the iPhone 5 comes out with the same processor I assume we will have the same issue with jb?

I am selling an 8GB Apple iPhone. This iPhone was purchased as a refurb from AT&T on March 17, 2008 - less than 3 months old. I updated the warranty with Apple and it now reads:
iPhone
Serial #:YM724FK0***
United States
Limited Warranty
2. Warranty information about your iPhone
Our records indicate that your product is covered under Apple's Limited Warranty which is estimated to expire on March 17, 2009.
Your product is eligible for complimentary phone support which is estimated to expire on March 21, 2010.
The iPhone is in perfect working condition - there is some light scratching on the back of the phone, and an extremely small scratch on the upper-right quadrant of the front screen which is about 2mm long (see pictures). You can only see that scratch in certain lighting conditions - usually only when there is a white background on the phone.
Due to these slight scratches, I am willing to let it go for $300 + your method of shipping to wherever you may be. These phones have been moving on eBay for upwards of $600 in the past few days - they are coming down a bit now, but this is still a substantial savings.
Included with the iPhone is everything that came with the AT&T Refurb box, as well as a Power Support Crystal Film Set [not pictured]. There is one left - the first one got dirty and I had to scrap it, but the other one is brand new.
* 8GB iPhone
* Stereo Headset with mic
* Dock (still in original wrapping)
* Dock Connector to USB 2.0 Cable
* USB Power Adapter
* Power Support Crystal Film Set
On the off-chance that you live in Cleveland, I am willing to meet in person so you can check out the iPhone and pay in person. I work downtown in the warehouse district, so meeting in that area would be ideal.
eBay: hoehnen3 (196+ 100% positive)
heatware: mxpiazza (7 positive)
Also sold, bought and traded with many people on these forums.
Please don't troll, hijack, etc - post, PM or email if you are interested, if not, thanks for your time.
