Ok I can see what you mean there. The Mac can still do the job. Maybe not with that program but with another program. Part of the reason you'll see certain software not in a Mac version of course has to do with the market. The market doesn't have enough Mac users to warrant the creation of a Mac version. If you are in an industry that just uses a machine to crunch numbers and do general office suite things then it makes little sense to use a Mac. They can just lease crap PCs that they will replace ever few years cheaply. Demand for number crunching software or the such for a Mac would be small. To me the limit isn't on the Mac machine itself but on the maybe the software made for it. The machine still performs the task just fine and well.

My first computer when I was a kid was the Mac SE (well we did have a Commodore 64 first) and my computer in college was a Mac. Since I was going graphic design most of my computer time in college was on a Mac. I've had PCs since then but that was due to not having money. When I talk to people about the difference between a Mac and a PC I compare it to cars. PCs are you domestic brand or even Honda. You can get a good one at a low price with not a ton of bells and whistles. Parts and labor are cheap and you can find plenty of people to answer your questions and work on them. You have a wide range from low base models to completely tricked out. Its much easier to find add ons at local places. Now the Mac is more like German/Swiss cars. Their "low end" is much closer to the upper midrange of others. They are well designed machines both in how they work and look. It might be harder to get some questions answered and there are a few quirks (just like were reverse is on some manual transmission foreign cars). Mac works off of (at least I am pretty sure this hasn't changed) a closed system which meant they didn't let just anyone develop things for their machines. This was much more of a limit in the past. As the internet has grown what restrictions Mac users would run into has become much much smaller.

In your experience what can a PC do that a Mac cannot? Past the game issue that is

I remembered Gangland had an episode about Hartford Gangland ? Behind Enemy Lines « Watch Crime Documentaries Online Los Solidos is the gang name -
Monday in the fall? Not the best time slot due to MNF. Not that everyone watches that but still not the best show to go against.

Prosecutor: Ft. Mitchell Homicide Was Not A Random Act

You don't have to know someone to look at their fb page unless they've got their settings done a certain way. Even then you can often find posts or sort of backdoor your way in. -
That is awesome. I've never heard it before but I'm sure stealing it.

He has the word "Blood" in red ink tattooed on his right hand below the thumb. You could see it yesterday when they were doing the bail hearing. The camera zoomed in on it for a sec. TMZ has a photo of it too. -

I don't watch CSI but I've heard tv has made it harder to convict people because they want that hard evidence silver bullet crap they see on tv. -

Did you feel like the attorney was well prepared? I've heard this before about shows like CSI and the such have created unrealistic expectations for things. So do you feel maybe the general public that have not been around the inside of a court room have unrealistic points of view of things? The guy appeared unprepared and I think he really showed how little they knew about what went on and what the prosecution may or may not know. I think he made a good point that this wasn't a trial and presenting information. I think he could of pushed that. I think you're right the judge thinks AH is guilty. Did OJ get bail? I feel like most people in this position (money and famous) tended to get bail but I'm sure I'm wrong. -

Well it appears the two other guys have fled MA. AH paid for the rental car for them to lead. It also appears AH has a tattoo on his right had that says blood in red ink. The camera zoomed in on it why the lawyers were talking. It also sounds like the defense is pretty clueless what the prosecution has. It sounds like the prosecution hasn't turned over what they have yet which I'm sure is within the guidelines. -

His attorney sucks. He sounds like he has done very little prep work and is not very articulate -

If wants to stay safe MS 13 is the better bet because there are no limits for those guys -
Lets go through that list. Moss: did great and had no issues. He isn't there because of price to return. He hasn't had any issues in SF either. Johnson: didn't cause and issue but also didn't produce. The word is he couldn't grasp the offense. Dillion: I know many in Cincy don't like him but I never had an issue. The guy produced and felt like the organization wasn't doing anything to help him out and he was playing on mid to low level teams. If he had been playing in other cities I don't think it would of been an issue. He wanted to win and get a ring. They currently have Mallet on that roster and word about him coming out of college was huge attitude problems.

Ok it appears from just a quick search you need a FID card to own a firearm and to own ammunition. Two of his gun charges are from that. The FID card is a Firearm Identification Card. Some of the other charges are not having a license for a firearm and two counts of carrying a large capicty firearm.

In his case there maybe. Past the fact they cannot locate the gun in the picture. MA has very strict gun laws it appears. I would be interested in knowing how strict. From reports they make it sound as if owning the gun was an issue. I don't think the release of him is going to do much to a jury. The Pats are a bussness and they are making bussness decisions. How effective could he be dealing with this and playing? Cut him. Save some money and find someone else to fill the roster spot.

Yeah and he isn't living in FL, TX,CA and a number of other places. Boston is a Pat and Mike town. Yeah I know he's from Bristol. It's like Doc Gooden said the other day when talking about his book. When 10 guys or so come after you there isn't much you can do. Don't think there aren't guys in prison who wouldn't get off (no pun intendend there) on taking down a big guy and a former NFL player. No as far as the gun charges go. From what I heard on the radio MA has very very strict gun laws. He will go down for those. The murder part is going to be interesting. -
Best Head Coach in the state under the age 30
barrel replied to 2-3-Zone's topic in KY Football (High School)
Adam Fowler is no over 30 but I think he was late 20s or just turned 30 when he became HC at Owen. He's done very well there in his time there. -
Trade in your iPhone 4/4S for a new iPhone 5 for free.
barrel replied to SvFan4life's topic in BGP Break Room
I'm thinking of doing this. Does anyone know if the type of phone you have changes what 5 they will let you upgrade to for free? I've got a 4S 32 gig. So do I get the same phone as a 4 8 gig (whatever the lowest was) user or can I get a bigger phone? On something cometely different for all of you unlimited data people. How much data are you using a month? -
Any word on an incoming freshman transfer? There have been rumors that a kid is going to move transfer due to the parents not liking the staff at a local school. Walton and cov cath were the two schools that were being rumored as choices.
