Wow, that was sweet!
But yes, make that Apple logo appear for an extra 1.5-2 seconds or so. :)
Well, yeah - I played around with that, I just thought it went well with the music as it is, but maybe I'll re-hash it and add a 24" as well...
it won't load for me - anyone else with that problem?
D
i don't know why that is, it seems to take a lot longer than last night when I uploaded it.
I've mirrorred it on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MdW-X0L_-U), but of course it's nothing like as good quality, and to make matters worse it comes out in the wrong ratio!

Have fun, Warhay. Among Apple stores in Southern California, it's one of the best places to hang out or wait in line, at least in daytime or evening hours. I've been to a few Apple events there and it was always lively. Probably not as lively at 4am. If you'll be online, let us know what the line is like when you get there.

what a whiny bunch of spineless, humorless co-dependent people we've become in America.
If you know history, you know he was talking about Stalin & others who "erased" generals & others who were ousted or assassinated. They then airbrushed them out of all photos.
So I guess that means that the Steinbrenner was Hitler and McCarver approved of the death camps right?
I thought it was actually funny and harmless. But I guess at every moment, someone has to be offended or hurt.
What's happend to this country?!!!! A bunch of 7 year olds running for mommy.
Oh, and Macfan-please go somewhere else with your hysterics.

Cheers for your feedback guys! :)
The animation is a little bit choppy in parts as I had to remove so many frames and change timings to get the overall file within the size limits.
Anyway, bit of background on my entry...
I wanted to use a character of some sort and Newton seemed a good choice because of the obvious connection with the apple; this also has some personal relevance because I have a degree in Physics!
I've got a PowerBook myself, but the reason why I chose to drop an iBook on Newton's head is because the white shows up better (since I gave him grey hair)... also when I first signed up to MR I was interested in buying an iBook and my very first post was in the "New iBooks Next Tuesday?" thread. I had to change the text to Wednesday what with the recent releases, but I thought that including this all-too familiar thread topic kinda captured the boards :p
I've got some ideas for other avatars too, but not sure if I'll have time to execute them...

The thing is- when are people going to realize what absolute liars these guys are?
I can only assume that the reason they haven't is because they tell people what they want to hear, even if it's not true.

It's all going to be crowded, even KOP. Look at KOP on a normal day, and i dont know if any of you saw KOP on the iPhone launch. Just cuz its in a mall doesnt mean it will be any less crowded.

Agreed, I think we should be less concerned about the number of question marks in a title and perhaps what the OP wrote.

In this case, he got what he deserved.
Next in line: Michael Vick.
As sinister as it sounds, I'd almost agree with you.
You can teach a man not to run with scissors.
You can teach a man to eat a chicken.
But you cannot teach the man's chicken not to run with scissors.

I enjoy funmac.com, small community but everyone gets together good, been there since day 1
Macrumors is basically at the top of my list, even tho i barely ever get the time to visit, when i first joined i was treated as a n00b just because I didn't have a mac back then, but heh, this site has gotten heck alot better since some of the flamers are longgggg gone now

Does this script run for an unusually long time or something? I believe the default timeout for MySQL is around 8 hours.
Your code below is calling mysql_ping, but your error message is for mysqli_ping, make sure you are using the right type of connection.
mysql_ping will not do automatic reconnection, however mysqli_ping will if you set the mysqli.reconnect option in php.ini or your code.
Sorry, I just typed up the test cases I had used from memory quickly and copied and pasted (poorly). It is actually using mysqli_ping in the real tests. Thanks for pointing it out. I corrected this in my original post
8 hours is far too long of a timeout for our busy website. We are running a 30 second timeout right on the database out of necessity. Otherwise the resources sit there and are never released and aren't reallocated and used quickly enough.
I know mysqli_ping won't auto-reconnect (at least in some versions of PHP no matter what option you set), I just use it to test if the connection is still open. If not, I grab a new connection. Even if the ping worked and autoreconnected, the code would be fine. I just can't figure out why sometimes it tosses that error, or how to test for it beforehand.

Well, the time has come, I thought I would share some photos of my Mac Portables with you. I have two Portables, a M5120 and an M5126 with the backlit display. Both have rebuilt batteries, and function flawlessly. I have posted 14 photos (1-9 of the M5126) (10-14 of the M5120). Enjoy!!

These type of threads are not really permitted on macrumors, however if you go on eBay just type in the model MBP you have, or a similar model of it to get an idea of pricing. Gumtree is good as well.

Yeah, using a tripod as counter weight is really useful. It will add weight and some grip. Try to find the center of balance (balance the tripod with the camera attached); put it on it's side, so camera on one side and legs on the other side, horizontal. This is how real steady cams work.
Or just use a tripod in an angle to hold it with both hands.
Altough I was going for a not stable look in this video it still looks pretty stable. None of the shots were done on a tripod standing on it's legs. Just by using a tripod as extension: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ou_uT3154Kk

i bought myself an Logitech V500 a few months back to accompany my future Powerbook. apart from the wireless USB thing its perfect. but its sooo small and i think it has the highest DPI for any infrared mouse too, but dont quote me on that (and that was back in october).
ive had it since october, use it every single day for an hour approx and the battery is still in 'good' rating! i never knew wireless mice were so battery-friendly. man i bought 8 AAA batteries expecting it to eat through them but at this rate these will last me till a G5 PB ;)
logitech are very good with mice. kudos to them
oh and subl1me; its an amazing mouse, probably wouldnt use it for desktop PC/Mac use but for portables... yea... highly recommended.

Consumer services don't work well as a real CDN. Here are some suggestions:
VPS (http://www.vps.net/?r=rErb) (UK company)
Amazon cloud s3 (http://aws.amazon.com/s3/)
Rackspace (http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/cloud_hosting_products/files/)
I vote RS.
After amazon's latest flubs and being hacked w/ wikileaks, I'd be hesitant to rely on them right about now.
