Evening Reading
by Nick Breckon, Mar 30, 2009 6:00pm PDTGlad to see another Empire: Total War patch. Sad to see it simply fixes a crash issue that was introduced with the previous patch. One step forward, two steps back.

Now we are going to make a contingent offer on a property we like. We did not want to do it this way, but we have gotten wind that there is an other interested buyer, and that they are a little ahead of us in there sale. We want the sellers to know that there is another offer, so we will push ours out there.
We are going to make close to our best offer and bring 10% down. Now we just hope the other offer is lower, and that they like the looks of our deal.
Wish us luck... go TeamKatz!!!!

I have a Konica Minolta black and white laser printer that I bought about 5 years ago. I haven't even finished going through the starter cartridge yet (so less than 1500 pages) and the thing still works just fine. However, my main desktop is now using the 64-bit version of Vista and after some searching I've found that Konica does not plan to support the printer anymore and won't make a 64-bit driver. I'm not particularly happy about this and I've been using my laptop to do my printing, which is very inconvenient. This raised an interesting question.
What sort of expectations should customers have for continued support of hardware?
This is hardly old hardware and the technology certainly isn't obsolete. It seems to me Konica just wants me to buy a new printer so they can get more money. Is it fair for hardware manufacturers to stop supporting a product in less time than the product can be expected to last? Should there be a minimum amount of required support for a minimum length of time? What experiences have you had with situations like this, Shack?

That movie was an absolute pile of shit. At the end me and my friend just looked at each other and started laughing. And the people infront of us got up, saw us laughing and joined in.
Holy shit that was terrible.

This is for the 17" MBPs. I obviously can use 8 gigs because of all of the fucking and sucking and lens flares I do, but that probably isn't worth an extra 1k is it? It's even 1k at crucial for the same upgrade so it isn't just apple being typical. I am thinking maybe go 4 for now until the 8gig upgrade drops in price a few hundred bucks and then add it.
Also I should avoid the solid state drive for the moment on the MBP don't you think? The SSD apple is using aren't the best out, and since the hard drives are easily replaceable in the new MBPs I can just upgrade that later as well. I will do the 380gig 7200 rpm drive instead. I've maxed out all of the other specs but I don't think the ram upgrade or the SSD are worth it.
unless the shack says otherwise??
