Sup dawg.

Spoke to a few people. No point upgrading laptop, will continue using it, but decided to invest in an iMac considering it's my last year with student discount...

Hello all you beautiful people. I have an opinion to ask that I'm sure some of you might be clued up on...

I've got a 2009 13-inch Macbook Pro, 4GB RAM and 250 GB HD space (and two external hard drives now to help with scratch disks/backups etc, 250GB and 1.5 TB). I've been needing to up the specs for a year or so because it's quite disappointing when I need it most. Peak time would be when I've got Safari, Photoshop, Indesign, Sketchup all running, with something rendering in the background. Really slow, frustrating to use then. Otherwise day-to-day it's fine.

I need to apparently service the battery which is fine. I'm not worried that about the display being 13-inch, it does the job, graphically it's fine. I'm going in tomorrow to get it looked at and/or sent off, if I do, I'll get it up to 8 GB RAM and 500 GB. Cost quoted was roughly... battery [if replaced] (£75-100), RAM (£65), HD (£100-150) and service/sendoff charge (£75) so total between £300-£400. Another option that someone floated was to just to invest another computer as a main one (say an iMac with student discount around £1050).

Now I've only got another year of uni left and full-time practice would mean me working on either an office desktop or laptop that they would provide. So a personal laptop would be enough otherwise. Is it worth actually investing in a new computer or just upgrade what I have?

Note - Haven't been around here in a while, so apologies if I've got anything wrong - I did check! Great system with the megapack search and the request function too. Great work all round!

PS - apologies for the size of the image... the others I found seem to be poor quality action shots...

Not wanting to hijack but this is quite decent too as a mashup for those interested in something similar...

Thought I hadn't or couldn't see much worse than Sri Lanka's less-than-half-a-test capitulation v Australia the other day... New Zealand are doing their best to prove me wrong. Day 2 Session 2 and they're already down a wicket in their second innings about 300 runs behind.

There are a lot of teams in dire straits atm... Sri Lanka and New Zealand are a bit of a shambles. India are getting worse. Only the likes of SA and England have settled teams. And Australia, Pakistan, Windies and Bangladesh are on the rise (at different levels obviously)

Also, entitling this thread "bullshit" is pretty fucking dumb.

Jesus Christ - you're missing the point completely.

The fact that I don't think of the underprivileged when something goes my way isn't the point. What is the point is that when something goes my way, I don't have the arrogance to believe some higher power helped me in my exam or found my car keys whilst these other poor sods suffer. Some people believe that the greatness of God guides them through their everyday lives whilst conveniently ignoring the fact that people die every day with no help whatsoever from some bullshit deity.

I'm sorry but this is complete and utter tripe. I'm not an all-encompassing follower of 'religion' as a concept, but if anything the idea of religion has actually gone and tried to do something about problems that exist. I'll take my own as an example. You are obliged to give a portion of your wealth to the poor and needy (and as far as I'm concerned, ensure that it gets to them), i.e. no bullshit about giving to charity for it to filter through administration and eventually end up where it's not required. Take the Eid that just passed. You are obliged to hand out a third of all meat that comes out of the day to the poor and needy. Again, directly. I fast for thirty days a year, every year. That'll be a fair proportion of life. Part of it is designed to show some kind of solidarity with those who suffer and give you some, as you say, perspective. And it's not even about charity; I sincerely believe that everyone enters and leaves this world as equals, and should be treated as such. All this, is because I believe in what you call "some bullshit deity". I don't feel any responsibility to my parents, family or friends whilst I do any of these things. I feel the need to thank this deity because it's worked for me. Coincidence, chance, placebo, you can call it whatever you like but it's faith for me. I don't feel the need to shove it down someone else's throat.

I actually despise the likes of you who think they have some kind of enlightened view of what happens in third world countries and then feel that you have some kind of moral high ground to criticise others. Fuck knows what made you bring religion into this discussion either. And as for "those poor sods", you should probably there are a fair proportion of them who believe in these so-called "deities". Go figure.

In London they don't talk.

You walk in and you hand over a fiver and you're like "I'm just going to take care of business, is that cool?"

Blank face

"Cool, thanks buddy."

I take care of business.

Next time, walk in. "Hey buddy, how's things? We're still cool right?"

Blank face

Halfway through business door gets kicked in and I'm out. I swear doing drugs in clubs in London is fucking expensive.

They definitely still do the same things in London. The same lines as Deano mentioned

Think the most worrying thing is at there was Adam, Eve and their two sons. Well one got killed, but figure that one out.

Yeah... no that's not how it goes.

I was gonna post something along the lines of "someone with a third-class degree from University of Bakalakadurkistan is hardly going to be more adept at life than someone like Steve Jobs was", but thanks for making that point in a more direct way Boone...

Alcohol is out of the question as I have to make the 2 hour drive back after the date.

Why are you trying to have a relationship with someone who lives 2 hours away (one-way?!)

Just got an email from the girl thanking me for yesterday and saying that she had a great time.

I suppose it didn't go that bad then.

... e-mail?

No phones in Sweden?
