I HATE APPLE

why would you pirate windows so that you could run an authentic copy of a program that you could have just as easily pirated in the first place

Windows AND VMWare!

that you could have just as easily pirated in the first place

rong, trust me.

also: i have a manual and support for SPSS, which will be useful. i don't need any of that shit for windows (no, really).

Why don't you keep the manual and support and pirate the mac version and use that?

bit late now ;)

and getting an, umm, free mac version that actually works properly sounds like it's surprisingly difficult. this is a reasonable solution that's cost me £10 and a couple of hours of windows-related misery. which, i guess, is a learning experience.

rong, trust me.

I found a seeded copy of SPSS Mac 16.0.1 in the time it took this page to load. What's the problem?

getting a working licence code, from what i can tell.

only works in US ffs

i don't even know what SPSS is, how do you explain that?

It does statisticky stuff. I had to use it in psychology ~10 years ago, ugh.

I recently had liquid damage and they charged me 800$ to fix it. Even tho I had AppleCare.

I should be more angry, but I did spill the liquid on my Macbook :(

They fixed my liquid damage for free, but I did leave it for a while before I took it in and played the I don't know why my keyboard has stopped working/all the fans make grinding noises etc.

what's the deal with this immersion-sensor stuff, though? i thought that was specially designed so apple could go: "no wai, ed: at 11.08am on june 23 you poured liquid all over this ... tea with skimmed milk and two sugars, if i'm not mistaken." or something.

It was brandy in my case and clearly the immersion sensor did not get immersed even though half the keyboard and two fans got fritzed.

will keep this in mind in case next time i spill liquid on my computer, it does damage.

so basically brandy is ok to spill on it??

Not sure about all brandy but this one seems to be okay

looks good to me

what is the difference between armagnac and brandy?

armagnac is brandy from the armagnac region in south west france. That one is a personal favourite and it is still under 20 quid a bottle from Nicholas.

it's also the only mac-compatible kind apparently

So I lost the cable for connecting my iPod to my laptop. I’ve tried a few of my coworkers’ cables/charging stations but my iPod does not charge and my iTunes does not see my iPod. What the fuck. Do I just have to go to the Apple store and buy another one because there’s some bullshit proprietary “one iPod=one cable” thing involved here or what…? Anyone ever had this problem?

The only time this is a problem is if you try using the older Firewire cables -- they work for charging, but the Mac won't connect to most modern iPods: has to be USB.

I'm not using a Mac, I'm using a PC. I borrowed some of my coworkers USB cables and my iPod doesn't charge and my iTunes doesn't see the iPod. What the fuck. Is this like a generational problem or something?

Masturbation is expensive business.

lol

I recently had seed damage and they charged me 800$ to fix it. Even tho I had AppleCare.

I should be more angry, but I did spill the seed on my Macbook :(

Is this like a generational problem or something?

No. All the USB-iPod cables are identical. The dock port hasn't changed since the 3G iPod.

hmmm. I think I have a 4th Gen.

not all usb ports are powered

all my USB ports are working. my iPod was working prior to me losing the cable. I cannot find a cable that works. That is my problem.

was trying to use google video chat w/ my brother today on macbook and he couldn't hear me. actually he could hear a tiny bit of noise and something faint if i screamed HELLO. why doesn't my built-in mic work?

goto system prefs ---> Sound ---> Input

the mic volume might be turned down

nope, tried that. the input level thing blinks a tiny bit when it hears sound, but talking doesn't make it go up and down like normal.

maybe you're a spooky ghost?

yeah are you dead

hmmm, maybe. but it's not just my voice, he couldn't hear if i played music either.

your violin is a ghost violin

is my itunes a ghost itunes also :(

you are posting from the spirit world

i am alarmed....and also intrigued!

guys, this really sux. how am i going to video chat now?

It takes a REALLY long time for my Genius results to be sent and delivered. Like, 10-15 minutes.

OK, apple wireless networking question:

we have an airport extreme and an airport express. the airport extreme is upstairs in the living room, running an 802.11n network at 2.4 ghz. the airport express is downstairs, in a bedroom, connected to a stereo for itunes and a printer for wireless printing.

we just bought a time capsule, and i'm trying to figure out what to do with it.

1) run a parallel network on 5-ghz 802.11n only, with the airport express extending this network. keep the airport extreme on 2.4 ghz for an old powerbook and for iphones.

2) put it in a different spot downstairs and use it to extend the existing network.

3) ??

For what it's worth, I get a lot better performance outta 5GHz than 2.4.

put it in a different spot downstairs to extend network. that's what I do.

Will somebody please talk me out of buying an iPhone???
