I have the Very Busy Man, although I've since found I prefer McBain's Lovechild (another Crumpler bag). The VBM is very large - the laptop pouch alone is likely big enough to hold a 17" Powerbook (I've got a 15" PB).
The problem I found with having a big bag is that I found myself carrying too much unnecessary junk around just because I could, which of course meant an unnecessarilly heavy load. I'm much happier with the McBains because it forces me to think about what I really need to bring along and what I can do without.
However if you actually need all that stuff, then the VBM is a great bag. Crumpler bags all seem to be very well constructed, very protective of your computer, and they look cool to boot.
In the US there are resellers such as ebags.com (http://www.ebags.com) and bagyou.com (http://www.bagyou.com) - they tend to be cheaper than Crumpler's USA prices. I've bought from both, and am a happy customer.
Edit: My good experiences with Crumpler computer bags convinced me to try out one of their camera bags when I was in the market for a new one. I must say I love my Budgie Smuggler - it's as well made and well thought out as their computer bags.

I really prefer vBulletin. To me it has a much more "polished" look to it as a final release.

i actually started off with Distributed Computing in SETI. i took some astronomy classes in college and learned about SETI, and tried it out. i then learned about folding@home later, and thought - why not join a project that actually helps people, instead of looking for other intelligence. so i joined. at first. i had trouble with the folding clients (which i still do sometimes). so i stopped after some problems. but i got a new computer, and tried again.
now i have a few computers that are pretty capable for folding

honestly, it feels like Lion is more of an experiment then an actual upgrade. Maybe preparing not just for the future of IOS but Mac OS to.

One thing that bugs me about the illegal tethering situation:
If AT&T knows who is illegally tethering, why do they allow it to happen? Why not simply prevent tethering packets from reaching the Internet?
AT&T obviously can differentiate between data to the YouTube app and data through MyWi because they meter legal tethering to 4Gb limit.
Is it just a big tease? And why not simply back charge everyone who used MyWi/PdaNet in the past?
When I talked to the AT&T rep, she said I had tethered illegally. But she could not tell me the specific times I had tethered. Lame.

I didn't install Flash on my 2011 MBP, probably never will - I use YouTube5 Safari extension to watch their videos. Is there a way to download youtube videos with this setup? Would love to have them as H.264.

This is the first time I've heard of such a thing...this is horrible
I hope this doesn't sound stupid, but can't they just demolish this house and rebuild a new one on the same plot? I know it'll be expensive...I am just asking :o
The article said the house was 108 years old. It is probably protected by some historical society (or would become so once they applied for demolition). Then they would have to spend a lot more than $61,000 fighting those people in court.

Oooh, I really hope you can help me. I'm looking for a bottom rubber foot (don't need the bracket, just the rubber) and a rubber screen "foot" for an iBook G4. I know it isn't much, but it would be really awesome if you could help me out. PM me if you can with how much you'd be looking for.

I have to Test Illustrator / Quark files for Compatibility (specially fonts,etc)
I think the best way will be with Remote Desktop. I have used Remote Desktop for PC to PC and it?s perfect for what I need and I expect it should work as well in MAC.
Thanks for advice.

Can't say the wait was worth it, knowing how much we knew already from leaks, but...
Did anyone (who subscribed) get an email from MacRumors notifying them the keynote was available online?
I signed up for the spoiler-free keynote link, confirmed my email address (2-3 days ago) and waited around tonight and nothing. Around 7p EST, I had my girlfriend go to the apple site and sure enough... they keynote is online. Even to this hour (10p), i still haven't received an email notification from MacRumors. Of course, I could be the only one...

I just logged into my root user account in Terminal, and it seems that this security issue isn't just about the 2nd-to-last character in a password: my root password is 13 characters long, and as long as I get the first 8 characters right, it accepts the password even if the last 5 characters are excluded or incorrect.
I just tried the same thing in the Finder, and it works there too.
edit: by the way, I have 10.2.6.

OPs MacBook seems to have a busted shift key, would that qualify? I wonder who he has to show it to do get a new one?
they are not going to replace it for something like that. It takes three replacements of the same part before Apple would even consider it.
OP is really just looking for a way to commit fraud.

Sorry, but I'll be checking in on the rumour sites during the show. delayed gratification is one thing, but, i won't be able to wait.
You guys obviously have more self restraint than I!
(Damn, I obviously still have US spelling turned on. It's RUMOURS, Macbook. Geddit???)

Oh yes...it's real. The prototypes of the OMP are getting rare nowadays. It will be interesting to see what it goes for, once the Newton aficionados hear about it. :p I myself have a MessagePad 2000 that I use constantly.
I want a Newton, but I'm not sure what I would do with it. How much do normal ones go for?

Some people had said that their 3G iPads were showing messages saying that AT&T required a data plan whenever they tried the switch.

My local Best Buy does store bundles, but it's a simple plastic strap holding a console together with an extra controller. Slip the controller out, discard the strap, and voila, you've got a bare console.
My GF actually wanted a PS3 with a spare controller, but not in any of the colors that were bundled. So we slipped out the black controller and inserted a pink controller. No problems.

maybe I could rephrase that... spymac has a lot of members that post a LOT of one-word posts. it's annoying. at least on macrumors users generally have something worth saying and don't post for the sheer point of making a post.

This is not true. the ICE works with several after-market brands like Sony, Kenwood, Alpine, etc. If you had one of these in your car, and got a new one, you would merely have to move the radio to the new car.
True, but the problem I have is then my steering wheel controls would not work unless I go out and spend another $200 on a solution for that too, plus the cost of an aftermarket stereo. Gets really expensive really quick.
It probably is a little more complicated than just swapping out the cable, I bet the controller unit on the ICE-Link is programmed specifically for the car's factory head unit. Maybe the Monster one will be a little more flexible.

Here'e something to try:nvu
It's a new app that's out, and it's free. I haven't used it much, but it might be worth trying. Here's a link
