Yeh, even my G3 iBook could do that (with a small applescript). Mac's have had screen spanning abiltiy for years and years. The MacBook Pro is powerful enough to run a 30" Apple Cinema Display as a secondary display.

I'm sitting in the big comfy leather office chair next to a heater (cos its cold in the shop) sat on msn and myspace listening to music and downloading stuff. When the odd customer comes in i serve them, then go back to doing nothing. I'll probs do a bit of html coding for my boss' website, and add some products to the shop website, take a few pics of skates and stuff, and thats pretty much all I do every day.

Haha sorry, I meant Lightroom. Just me being an idiot and calling it Lightbox. Anyway, I really like the design, and you got some nice shots in there too, the whole "if it aint broke, don't fix it" phrase comes to mind regarding the fact it's just a Lightroom online gallery preset, as it still looks cool as f**k!! Why waste time hand coding (like me) when you can just export it and be done with it!! It's all good man.

Cheers man. Also like Josh said Danny, click the <- next to the title to get back to the menu. I guess I don't find it a pain to navigate as I know how it works and both my trackpad and mouse allow me to scroll in any direction. Can't please everyone though!!

It's powerful enough to run a 30" Apple Screen. It's a 256MB ATI Mobility Radeon X1600. In other news the 8-cores are on the UK store now. Peep this, Two 3.0GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon 16GB (8 x 2GB) RAM NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 512MB, Stereo 3D (2 x dual-link DVI) 4x 750GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s 2x 16x SuperDrives Bluetooth 2.0+EDR and AirPort Extreme Apple Keyboard & Mighty Mouse - British Mac OS X (English) 2x Apple Cinema HD Display (30" flat panel) Five USB ports Two FireWire 400 ports Two FireWire 800 ports £10,262.02 I think that's so f**king cheap! Only ten grand?! That's nuts. Thats regular pricing, £8,284.93 Educational discount! Anyway!! Dreams will come true one day!! Haha.Glad you've sorted the problem out Sam, if you need any help choosing which model MBP then I'm sure we could help you out again.

Hah yeah Westwood is comedy genius!!! If someone played some I'd just piss myself and sing along

No. I just watched it. Good episode, bit of a filler, but some interesting stuff in there too! The whole smoke thing is mad, but I'm well glad Sawyer is the temporary leader, Hurley played him like a fiddle!! haha, but I guess now Kates gone and got Jack back, Sawyer wont be in charge for long.

Fatman Scoop & Faith Evans!! Everyone loves that song. Just download the first couple of westwood albums and play them, everyone will love that!! haha. Theres a few posts on here about hiphop, have a look at them too.

Yeah the 8-cores havnt actually been announced in the UK yet though, just the US. I'm looking forward to a price drop on the cinema displays here too. I'd agree with Joelio, get a decent size external for your raw footage on the MBP. I wouldnt advise a 24" iMac, cos of integrated graphics card. If you get a MBP you could get an external display hooked up so easily.

I'd just advise Perian, Flip4Mac, and VLC http://perian.org/ http://www.flip4mac.com/ http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ Will do everything you need. I'd also advise when searching for things to put "OS X" in the search rather than just adding "mac". Makes things a lot more specific. Glad to see there is actually a bigger amount of people running Macs now. 3.5 years and counting for me :] and I'm only on my 3rd machine 8-)

Yeah I swapped my normal Apple mouse for a Mighty Mouse from uni, I rarely use it though as I'm so used to control clicking it's just pointless, but still it's nice to have.

I was gonna say most of those are from TK Maxx. My sister has nearly 40 pairs of trainers, I've got about 15. Ill try list them Nike Dunks (black/red/grey), Adidas Monaco GP (black/red/white), Reebok Ayrton Senna (yellow), Puma Speedcat (mid top, red), Adidas Pro Model 1970 (black/white), Adidas End-to-End Skore (black/brown), Vans slip ons (black), Vans slip on (pinstripe), Ipath Yogi Low (black/grey), Ipath O Connor (Black/gold), Globe Silder (Black/red/grey/white), Adio Coopers (Brown), Osiris D3 2001 (black/white), Xsjado Jeff Stockwells (grey), and more I cant remember cos theyre at home and I only bought 12 pairs of shoes with me to my house here, didnt see the point in bringing any more. Purchases due when I get my loan: Adidas Adicolor R2 Surface To Air Adidas End-To-End 123Klan and more...

Hmmm... I can understand the problem. I reckon you could work well on a 15/17" MBP, if you got a 7200RPM hard drive that would probs help things along nicely, I think when my warranty is up in July on mine I'm gonna upgrade the HDD in mine to something bigger. Not that that's relevant at all. I've never edited on my MBP and because I've got access to a shit load of G5s and a few MP's I'll never really have the need to, but I reckon if you got yourself a decent MBP setup, say 15", 2 or 3GB of ram and a 7200RPM HDD, with the 256MB graphics card, you cant go wrong with that, will be powerful enough to run FCP without any problems at all, I used to edit on my 900Mhz G3 and not have any problems!! Obviously rendering will be faster on the MP but thats to be expected. If you really need the portability (which it sounds like you will if youre gonna be working abroad) then I'd go for the MBP (obviously), you could get a decent size external monitor (doesnt have to be an Apple Cinema Display) for a pretty decent price, and just get a mouse to make things a bit easier and I reckon you'd be sorted. If you think you could go through the whole trip without needing to edit or anything, then get the MP :] That's the way I see it.

What's your job?

well then restart. looks like theres something wrong with your computer if none of those things are working.

Awesome shots!!

Luckily for you you can install the 10D firmware on the 300D http://toronto.photobloggers.org/blog/_arc.../7/1285989.html http://www.bobatkins.com/photography/digit...mware_hack.html http://www.google.com/search?ie=utf8&o...irmware+on+300D

When trying something big, even if you know you can do it easily, mess up a few times to get the croud behind you and then land it, then youll get mad props.

Hmm... Overkill I reckon. If it all matched 100% it might look cool.. but i'm just not feeling it.

80% *** (which are all nearly 2 years old... weird, i thought they got taken off if you didnt act like a dick)

Looks pretty similar to Lightbox, the Adobe app. I like it.

Hahah they threw the diamonds on them too!! theyll never find them haha!

xlite-kid?

That was going to be my next contribution.

Probably me, I used to change my name all the time. Had at least 4, tmb, .dotsixtytrials, jonsterm, monsterj (thanks to tic) and I know ive had more between that.
