I'm of two minds, which I don't think are really all that incompatible.
The cynical pragmatist side says, "hope in one hand and crap in the other, and see which piles up first." Hoping things work out is no substitute for doing something, anything, to make them work out. I grew up around people who took "hope" to suggest they should just let everything go and trust "God" to make their lives work out as "He" sees fit, and that passive attitude disgusts me.
On the other hand, hope is the counterpoint to despair and resignation that the worst will happen despite what we do. Hope can encourage us to take positive action when we would otherwise be discouraged into complacency by the perceived likelihood of failure. I have seen too many people with negative attitudes who have an almost uncanny tendency to get exactly what they expect out of life. Depressive fatalism likewise disgusts me.
The common thread, of course, is that hope is valuable to exactly the extent it gets you off your ass and into the game. Whatever encourages that is a virtue; whatever discourages it a vice.
As for my own sources and objects of hope, that's a bit too personal for PRSI.

Looking to sell my 8GB iPhone. It's in pretty good shape. The chrome bezel is scratched up from using one of those skins initially. There is also a very small subtl dent in the back. I have no idea how it got there as I have never dropped it. Other then that it is mint. Email is very important to my job and the iPhone is just not cutting it so I am back to a Blackberry.
I am asking $225 firm. This includes shipping. Payment via Paypal and I will only ship to an address in the continental US.
This unit works perfectly. I will give 5 days for you to return it for any reason in the same condition it left me hands. This way you can check out and make sure you're happy with it physically and functionally. If you decide within that 5 days to return it the responsibility of return shipping costs is on you.
If you're interested, PM me.

You know who will fall for that? People who fell for the iPad in the first place.
What makes you think that? Surely anyone with enough brains to spend $499 on a useful device instead of $299 on a useless netbook wouldn't fall for an obvious scam like that.
On a crappy netbook you might fall for a message in crappy English. An iPod user would take one look and say "surely this message cannot be sent by Apple".

On March 9th, I ordered an iPad 2 from J&R and it still hasn't shipped. What other online retailers offer the iPad 2? The ones I know of all charge sales tax to North Carolina. The ones I know of:
� MacConnection (charges sales tax to NC)
� MacMall (charges sales tax to NC)
� B&H Video (long line of pre-order
� ABT.com (charges sales tax to NC)
Other ones I can try?
Thanks!

The price isn't too awful here in Canada, but a $179.99 cdn price tag (from $199-229 depending) would make it only $30 more than a DS Lite and make it more competitive. A better battery would be nice, although for day to day use it lasts okay, and you can always get another one to plug in when the one you are using dies (unlike the DS :() The MS isn't bad now, I saw a 4GB Duo for $69.99 and 2GB ones are always under $75. I have a 1GB one and it has enough room for 3 south park episodes, a movie, and some MP3's.
If they do a PSP Lite, i'm the first one at the store.

Make sure thier insurance company doesn't shaft you on compensation for your days off for medical attention, etc. Document visits to the dr., physiotherapist, etc. When I had a numbnuts turn left right in front of me, I slammed the brake so hard I pulled all the muscles in my leg and limped for 2 weeks. The insurance co. was ready to settle just for the car damages, but caved when I gave them the evidence and gave me three days pay for my time off and the medical costs.
i don't want to be to much of a b**** to the kid. He made his very large mistake and I think that he learned his lesson from his totalled car, broken arm, and extremely jacked up insurance bill. It wasn't my car though- am I still eligible? You should of heard me lecture him. Haha.
His insurance company is going to drop him I swear. $70,000 car, 2 doctor's time off from work, our medical bills, his destroyed car....

I've got two 20" widescreens attached to my Power Mac at home, and I like dual screens a lot more than I thought I would. I went dual screen originally because it was the cheapest way to get the most screen space. Like a lot of people, it seems, I ended up using one screen to house all the applications I want open all the time (Adium, iTunes, pearLyrics, Mail, Finder window), and have the entire other screen for working on whatever it is I'm working on. I like having the dedicated "space" for all that stuff.
I've watched a movie on my Power Mac just once, but I also liked that I could have one whole screen dedicated to the movie, and still have another separate space for surfing the web or playing solitare or whatever else I wanted to do.
The bezel on the screens doesn't bother me nearly as much as I thought it would and the screens just seem to kind of bleed together.
If I had to choose between two 20"s and one 24", I'd likely go with the two 20"s, especially if it were cheaper.What he said..
Or, you could always just say screw it and get dual 23" screens. :)

Read the warranty agreement. It says something to the effect of "Repair or replace at Apple's discretion". Just sell it on eBay.
Nice title for this thread BTW. Very descriptive. :rolleyes:

An Apple Airport Express should do what you want. It comes with setup instructions for both Mac and Windows and has a connection port for a printer. If you want to save few $$ it is listed in the Apple Store 'SAVE' section (refurbished with same warranty as new) for $99 right now.

Anyone think a price drop for the iPhone tmw? If Steve suprizes us again with another 100-200 price drop, I would pick up an iPhone in a heart beat.

That is highly inaccurate for a number of reasons. Generally "leaked" release dates are very inaccurate until it's within two weeks of release. Given that it has only been a couple months since the newest ones came out, waiting is pretty well pointless.

I never bothered to update my iPhone 3G to iOS4. I thought it would slow it down. Yesterday, I picked up my iPhone 4 from the Apple Store. iOS4 is great on the iPhone 4. But my iPhone 3G still hasn't been upgraded and I don't think I'll ever update it to iOS4. I'm afraid it will slow it down.

You don't need to actually uninstall the theme to update at present. Just install over it to update. It's less trouble.
Oooh, I'm sorry, what I was trying to say was that I did this. I tried to install it over the existing version, but for some reason, it would not work on my install, and I was forced to uninstall and reinstall. But it sounds like it is an isolated case, and maybe it has something to do with one of my extensions or something (*slaps TBE* bad TBE, bad TBE :)).
I do hope that update.mozilla.org picks you up.
