@dag, it really is only the lightness and portability. If you don't need a super slim, lightweight laptop, then skip the MBA for sure.

I had (had because I gave it to my fiancée) a 17" MB Pro, and it's not practical as a laptop to use for writing. It's heavy, clunky and extremely hot.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Aside from the lightness though, I don't see much spec-wise that makes it better than a 13" MB Pro - and with it you get a DVD drive, sturdier construction and a cheaper price (much cheaper when the new MBA arrives)

Actually, @dag, I have a Mac Pro Tower I use for the heavy lifting, but it's a heavy monster that requires it be rooted. The MBA I purchased specifically for writing (and surfing VS) as it can be taken literally anywhere with little fuss.
Also the MBA fits in a manila envelope. Neat!

My system is older but works pretty good. Its an AMD atholon 3000+ with a gforce 5200 (256 mb)videocard. XP with service pack 3. High speed cable. I have been coming to this site for awhile, since before the big crash, the problem just started within the last few weeks. I dont have the same problems on other videosites that I use. Just wondering if it was just me.
I guess I could try other browsers, I do have chrome , safari and firefox. I just never needed them untill Joedirt pointed out that I'm fuckn stupid.
Anyways...Its not that Im impatient, I have let the frozen page sit for minutes to see if it will load. Task manager reports "non-responsive" so I have to end task.

Used to play this with a VFX1 VR helmet. Pretty crazy. This reminds me of when I dropped in another 4 MB of RAM on my DX50. I had 8MB all dedicated to Doom. It ran soooo smooth after that upgrade. I didn't get into MechWarrior though until I got my Pentium 200mhz, right before they started including MMX. So I had the math-co, but not the new instruction sets. And a Dimond Moster 3D card. Man, those were the days.

Sad thing is, I played the Wolfenstein app on my phone right after making that comment. It's like I said Doom and meant Wolfenstein or something. Fuck my life.

I'm pretty sure the word you're looking for is 'symbology'.

–noun
1. the practice of representing things by symbols, or of investing things with a symbolic meaning or character.
His vote is a symbol of what he truly believes and/or what he believes is representative of the state/district that elected him. By the time it was his turn to actually vote, it was irrelevant whether he was for or against the health care bill - hence, his vote was purely symbolic.

Haha, over your head I suppose?

Watch 'The Boondock Saints', come back, and you owe me a promote.

BTW I seem to have a mental block concerning the correct use of apostrophes so I'm getting out there and using them more, here is my basis for using "MSNBCs' Contessa" (The AP use "MSNBC's Contessa", I udnerstand both are correct?):

1. When items are described by an acronym or an abbreviation, there is no need to add an apostrophe to denote the plural:

MP (military police) sixteen MPs

PC (personal computer) a network of PCs

MB (megabyte) 100 MB

2. But the apostrophe should be used in any expression which includes an element of possession:

MPs' salaries a PC's capacity

We're the ones to set the example - don't need anything else besides our common sense to distinguish wrong from right. We're the ones that set the example.

Credits

The Children See Children Do campaign was developed pro bono at DDB, Sydney, by creative director Matt Eastwood with creatives Charlie Cook and Simon Johnson, and agency producer Sean Ascroft.

Filming was directed by Sean Meehan at Soma Films who host Children See Children Do as a 5.56 mb SWF video. See Soma Films’ earlier work for NAPCAN - Don’t Just Stand There.

Editing was done at Winning Post, who host Children See Children Do as an 11.9 mb quicktime video.

NAPCAN worked with DDB to raise awareness of all adult Australians that responsibility for children’s wellbeing goes beyond parents and child care professionals.

Children’s Guardian were involved in filming to ensure that children were not exposed to harm in any way. The domestic violence had adults and children filmed separately then placed together in post production. The girl with the cigarette had her cigarette and smoke added to her shot in post production.

Soundtracks

There are two songs used in the NAPCAN ad. The Soma Films online version has "Rabbit in your headlights", sung by Thom Yorke for Unkle. The NAPCAN online version has a song, written and performed for the campaign, with the lyrics, "It looks like rain again today, dark clouds gather, fill the sky. Don’t know how to talk to you, just know how to say goodbye."
