First Grand Tour Win today. Chaching!

If anyone has a nice panoramic of Mt. Baker they are willing to sell "rights" for I need it for a clients site. Drop me a PM. Thanks.

A 19" laptop? LOL! Argument for not switching. If you don't get a significant edu discount on Apple or Adobe software like CS4, as well as MS Office, the switch will be painfully expensive. I've worked on both platforms forever and I just find I'm more productive on a Mac, I use Spotlight, Expose, and Spaces constantly and I just am able to establish better workflows in OS X. Like Gary pointed out hotkeys being consistent between apps is huge. I know several MS people who run Vista at home on a Mac in bootcamp because it just runs faster on Mac hardware. I do believe the Apple hardware is built better, I have never had any significant problems with any hardware I've owned. I really think you get what you pay for. MS Office 2008 is actually pretty impressive and now native on Mac. OS X really has some killer apps that I'm not sure there are good windows alternatives, some of which I think are essential for web design/coding.... OmniFocus - productivity syncs with iPhone CSSEdit - similar to firebug, has saved my life on projects VirtualHostX - great for setting up local dev environments Coda - very cool single screen web coding app TextMate - THE editor for doing Rails development If you ever see yourself doing Rails or Django development then the native support in OS X is really crucial. Also, the way the trend is going you need to be able to test you website/apps in Safari natively, and with things going more mobile/iPhone you need to be able to setup test environments. If I were in your shoes right now I would try to find a new or slightly used previous revision pre miniDisplayPort Mac Book Pro 15 and get a nice 24" dell display from costco for $250. You can drop 4gigs of Ram for $55.

Anyone interested in participating in some feedback and brainstorming in a private forum for the wiki drop me a PM.

I'm assuming you meant progress. We're working on it. This is one of those things we really want to get right, so we are evaluating two very different solutions, one a modified existing solution and one homebrewed. We want the information extensible to other and future features and applications, like linking to the TR system. Hang in there we are VERY committed to this.

We are sorry for the downtime this morning. Our host had a large outage that unfortunately affected us.

Wayne, I'm just giving a shoutout to a cc.comer.

Jay, got your support messages. Fixed your name. Made the TR system allow reports further back then 10 years ago. Thanks again for posting these gems!

You need to copy the image locations and not the picasa URL. See what I did with your first picture. Edit: I corrected the peak spelling on the title to help with future TR searches

Shit, how many people can say they learned to climb with The Fiend.

I've been meaning to post an article about this, but we would prefer that people post images in our gallery versus linking them to Flikr or Facebook. It has nothing to do with property rights, it's just if FB or Flikr change their URLs, or any site for that matter, then it breaks the links and the images never shown up. The idea is to have these TRs available until the interwebs implode. Also, it's helpful if people properly name their images and add appropriate tags, that way they are easier to find when people are searching the gallery. If people have any feedback on uploading photos etc please post it in the suggestions thread in the cc.com news forum.

Totally Baller!

Raindawg you don't read enough Krugman and Roubini. We are in a monetary jar of flies.

Wow some of you are totally pathetic. I'm really sad for Michael Jackson, and his children. If 1% of the attention that was spent on making him a star was spent on helping him cope with becoming such a star, let alone dealing with not having a childhood, I think the outcome would have been so different. It's sad to know that deep down he was ashamed of who he was. People relished in the shadefreude of watching him self destruct.

What is with you and the aluminum? I can think of a handful of things with a much greater cytotoxicity then aluminum that you ingest every day.

Is that the 5th Noble Truth?

So I'm assuming everyone here is read up on their Treg and GammaDelta T cell literature for this argument?

yes, but it was really good and i drank a lot and don't remember its name There is a MacCallan 12YO that you can only get at the duty free that is f'ing awesome.

Go Republicans! Phamily Phucking Values!!!

What do you think of last nights episode of Jon - Kate?
