Ok I have had enough keep ragging on a company that is a trillion times more popular and successful than you will ever be, have fun i should have known better than to poke my head into the nerd section.

If one person in the entire world at least tolerates him Apple cannot be a trillion times more popular. Just saying.

Why bother arguing? I use Win 7 and MacOS X daily. And you know what the big horrible secret is?

THEY'RE THE f**kING SAME!!!

Anything good that Apple do, Microsoft copy, and vice versa, to the point where any clued up computer user can switch back and forth easily.

No, see a windows system won't screw over a mail server just by having an IMAP account with spotlight enabled. Or force security flaws on a network so sales tossers can infinite-dutch-rudder each other over the latest iDevice.

Yeah you're right but that's a very big if. :D

Well I'm married, so surely that assumes my wife tolerates me?

Wait, my daughter certainly does! She's only 11 weeks old so hasn't the ability to not tolerate.... yet.

Winnar!

Yes but apple has only become well known over the past four'ish years or so, give it time and we'll see.

No one is asking you to buy the product, the world is full of stupid people who will pay that money for that ram upgrade and if people keep paying for it then apple will continue to sell it that price. You can hate apple because of the prices they put on their products but it still doesn't mean that OSX isn't a decent OS for the general home user.

Maybe great for a home user who isn't too well versed in computers and has little bit of extra money to spent on IT - no debate there. But Apple is still crap when it comes to corporate/professional use. Price vs. functionality/security/compatibility is just not there with Apple.

But remember - Apple products, like PCs are made by some kids (slaves) in China....

How is the arranged marriage going anyway? Not too weird yet?

Going great. The dowrie made it extra worth it. Her parents gave me a Macbook Pro! Perfect really, cause I needed a new chock for the laundry door.

You know what else? I've been partitioning my local MP to vote in favor of gay marriage cause I don't think it's fair that you'll never get to experience the joy of marrying the person you love.

Macbook air might be better suited as a doorstop as it's tapered I think.

And to the second point of yours while a nice try and I do mean that :rofl: , my contribution to hottest wives/gf's thread says otherwise.

got a macbook retina in at work today (of course one of the old 2009 ones has decided to have a mystery hardware error in OSX that makes it unusable at random, never eventuates in Windows gg Apple thermal management), whilst thinner, it's as heavy as our Dell Latitudes and the screen is f**king DARK on the default settings on AC power. The "retina" screen seriously does not look much different from a regular Macbook Pro unless held 15cm away from the face.

I do love that they have made it literally totally unserviceable though (unless there is some arcane method of removing batteries that only Apple Technicians are privy to), even IFixit rate it a 1/10. The fact that that nearly all connectivity apart from USB needs propietary Thunderbolt connectors that cost extra is hilarious too. Hoping that I might get a chance to run HeavyLoad on it to see how hot they get these days!

Also had a new Macbook Air in, it's thin, which is probably the best thing about it.

i have one of the fist of the unibody macbook pro's so i'd say around 2009 model (can't remember when i got it lol), though my battery just lifts out with a little pull tab. anyway......

When i encode a video with Handbrake which uses both the cores of the Core 2 Duo and the cpu usage meter shows 100% on both. Within about 10 minutes you can no longer have the thing on your lap, and by the time it has encoded down a DVD around 45-50 minutes, the temp readout of the cpu is sitting on ~110 deg C and the alluminium body and keys around the QWER area are too hot to touch lol.

with a "HeavyLoad" test, i don't really know what this involves but if its pushing the gpu as well as the cpu then i'd say it would be almost unusably hot.

I have a MBA, 2 iPad2s an iPhone 3GS and 2 Samsung galaxy s2s, having worked as tech support for an ISP I hate windows with a passion.

The amount of dumb pc users who have no idea what OS they have is pathetic, ummm it's a dell? FFS it's not that hard.

Did the switch from pc in 05 and haven't looked back. I'm not a fanboy camping out for next iproduct, that's just silly.

    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
