haven't tested lion yet, and you guys probably know this already but since porter is looking for a solution, apple just posted Lion Recovery Disk Assistant

(nice prose r10 :))

will let you know canavan, recondas offered help already. last post house i've been to was empty of anything sgi though

^x2

fix up that divco bro, gotta get a real tribute rollin'

nice shots riders

hot damn it's ze divco kids! milk-funk anyone?

oskar, you can have every mac's model/order number and a sea of specs at your fingertips here

the zen of the iMac is its cleanness, you only have to plug the power cord to the wall outlet, no ugly spaghetti above/under/behind your desk. it also sports the look and groove that gets the ladies :p

a mac pro will give you long-lasting service, i still get to use some of the 1st generation ones among projects. it'a different product/ballpark alltogether.

'gators

i hear that macs are next to be retina'ed, no time to test anything these days though

i bumped into one that wasn't in the accounting dept. this time and did some lower-thirds on it. yup its a decent monitor :)

sky did you notice any (over)heating issues while using it?

way exhausted these days, when i get back home i only want to hear either the "köln concert" or "jasmine" by jarret/haden.

wish i had seen him conducting 30,000 kids in a stadium

Oskar45 wrote: Sure. Was there in January '75.

ah! lucky you. i'm happy to discover a melody built with 5 notes, jarret creates a whole universe out of 5 notes :) . i prefer his american quartet and most of his solo works.

Oskar45 wrote: the perfect love-making background.

that's what jarret says/writes about it. the blissfull part in my case right now is that these 2 works make up the only thing that untrips me these days. i'm working on a difficult performance in an ancient theatre and i have to finalcut the score/soundtrack soon.

syb, check out karen, the girl next library

smj, i think you're gonna dig the bad plus

sky, cooked any grooves out of your studio?

nice to see your collection being fostered among friends.

harry once had an idea about a "sgi lending library" in europe (can't find the thread right now) that would help members of this board, test/troubleshoot their machines without/before investing the crazy $$$ resellers asked for back then.

thanks for the scripts and all your help harry :) there was a time i couldn't set my scratch disks or change a freaky login icon whithout help from this board.

i think we should all give neko a brake and self-moderate ourselves. it's summer, the whole world is going broke, and the last thing we should worry about is one more rule in a fine place like this.

i think neko never had a problem with "politics" (or any other topic) per se as long as we don't bust his balls about it. there are times we get to have some very interesting discussions here (thanks to diversity) and other times that we act like crybabies.

i'd say to get in (or opt out) a conversation as adults. i enjoy conversing with a wild bunch of you whatever the topic is. i never had any problem w/ humour, different styles/views or critique. i'd join a discussion on religion started by you oskar without nagging @ neko/mods if we don't agree.

muppets @6:09 ask: is conversation a dying art ?

off the top of my head during the coffee-brake:

- i gotta go now
- master percussionist making beats and exchanging phrases w/ acoustic & electric players alike

uhmmm can you handle the gin today? i can only find ice cubes around an ancient theatre, nearest bar is 10km away :)

Oskar45 wrote: I think Intelligent Design stuff is completetly demented.

agreed. i've only browsed the synopsis and it looks like i won't dive any deeper. all these late trends to hystericize the new millenia remind me of dark ages. we used to burn books back then, now we're burning minds.

try to find "the exterminating angel" in a bohemian cinema room or dvd and tell us what you think. don't bother w/ the average stamp-size iphone clip, doesn't count.

What I can't understand is, why would anyone want a boyfriend who farted like a horse ?

collateral damage turned into habit. i saw Ariadne yesterday, she never managed to (totaly) get rid of that Dionysus/Minotaur odor.

yes gents, tricky how discourse works.

fascism had both political&fiscal roots. the word got demonized, turned into taboo after the end of wwii in order to reflect certain imagery/emblems of that short guy with the moustache. benito eventually got hanged for high treason in piazzale loreto and here we are in 2012 bailing out bankers, worrying about job security and negotiating basic human rights.

i pity the kids, everything they grow up in is phoney these days. "get rich or die tryin'" mantras are doomed to end in blood+tears. truth be said, distraction techniques are much better nowadays.

i wasn't talking about religion in general but rather about the late trends to wrap everything in "scientific" paper. certain types of religion always had a tendency to update their wrapping paper. intelligent design, scientology etc, are just another trend of our days, grab some basic issues/axioms of theology, stick a few graphs & equations and call it "intelligent/scientific".

other than that how each one walks around his existential quests is purely a subjective matter. recent news suggest that we found god in a can nuclear reactor

ps: as the OP of this thread you're able to change the title. i've done it myself to keep threads funny/friendly under the "Everything Else" category.

i hope joerg didn't shrink, he used to work @cern

^ ah! the double entendres girl


sure jose, get a triclinium & the sirens will follow :)

si vaquero, it's a dirty job but someones gotta do it :P

follow the signs, skip the monastery and look for the garden, i've left your names on the guest list

Oskar45 wrote: they have their roots in the 1870's

thanks for clearing that up oskar, browsing a synopsis online can be as useful as a fish shopping for a pair of shoes. i'm aware of creation sciences, but the title of "intelligent design" brought out an allergy in me since most things today are labeled "easy" "intelligent" "creative" etc. still, why would anyone blab over a typical set of theology based on christianity and try to mix+match a "scientific" clockwork approach, is beyond me.

ps: i got your current sig allrighty, i was just following up on hamei's reference about vices

mgt sums it up nicely as faith is the common denominator in every type of religion. besides a few efforts to explain genesis/cosmos or any other existential part, the main function of religion was to provide some sort of behavioural cookbook. now we have ultrabright-ready-in-10-seconds cultures coming out of a tv set. nouveau-riche kewl, evolution y'all!

mgtremaine wrote: Obviously I can only speak for the slice of society I see from where I'm standing. Your quote of "No different..bible but a hell of a lot more popular nowadays" is not true. Most people in America have no economic ideas or even knowledge, but 70% say they are Christian and 40%+ say creationism is true. That's a problem.

i'd take that a bit further w/ a few thoughts

-unless the main interest in this thread is statistical, i wouldn't worry too much about it. polls are being cooked daily and they provide yet another distraction for a "we smart, them dumb" placebo.

-when most people (whatever their initial stance on religion is) base their erections /lives on financial indices/services of invisible hands, then we have a major problem. we've been there (elevate money into a religious pedestal) before, didn't work out.

hey gators & rockers, how's everyone doing?

i'm acrobatting between brazilian soul and calypso while seizing the last days of my summer brake:
- take it easy my brother
- from a logical point of view

yes general, nothing like digging the crates to find favourite vinyl on a cool sunday :D

handmade roadtrips is where its at!

got any picture of your funky divco? i bet rec + the rest of the gators will appreciate. only a divco could make it into a moto thread :)
