I am getting used to Lion and it is not so bad after changing a few preferences and figuring out how to get more spaces. When I first set up the computer, I decided to turn on Firevault 2 before I filled up the harddrive. I have never used it before because it didn't work with Time Machine but the new one is suppose to be "better" (even though it is only 128-bit encryption vs the older 256 bit) so I thought I would give it a try. But I am wondering if it is really necessary given the slight performance loss and the fact that Air only has a 1.6Ghz processor to start with. I keep all/most sensitive information in an encrypted disk image already - it would just be for extra protection - in case I downloaded something and forgot about it or something like that.

Those make much more sense. My brain is not worthy of any organic parallel computing - spent too much time at HC meets. Oh yeah, the 11" is has some super awesomeness to it.

That is good, I am still suspicious since it was already registered on the previous "page."

Got the 11" Air today (2 days earlier than estimated)! I a bit concerned. When setting up the Air, it asked me to join a network... no problem, it asked me to register it... no problem, then it asked me to create a user account... again no problem. However, as soon as I hit continue it delayed for a second saying "connecting to apple" or something like that at the bottom of the screen. I unclicked the option to log on with apple id since I definitely do not want that feature. Why should they be sending any information about my local account to apple? Does apple now have my password (encrypted obviously, hopefully) stored on their server somewhere.

Adds the Mountain Man to the list.

Awesome idea for a thread! I am totally going to check out the moisture wicking clothing and sports bra. I admit that I also work out in crappy cheap clothing and sports bras and could use to upgrade. As for the Gator, I too love mine (in olive). [i wish I would have bought an HC Gator.] I use it all the time. It is the perfect gym bag for me. I have also used it to carry camera gear: I bought a Think Tank Digital Holster 20 + Think Tank belt to carry my camera around in Hawaii since I needed something that I could use while hiking. It fit perfectly (vertically) in the Gator and left room for an extra lens, a flash, batteries + charger, filters, a water bottle holder, and an p&s camera. I love that it has a place for a water bottle on both sides too. I could see using it as a lunch box too. As for my favorite new thing, I will add the Think Tank Digital Holster 20 + belt. I look like a total dork but it is great for hiking and will save my shoulders.

Picanha is good.

Moar Cynar. I like the Bensonhurst better. Berlioni 1 oz Plymouth gin ⅔ oz Cynar ½ oz Dolin dry vermouth Stir over ice then strain in to an ice filled old-fashioned glass. Garnish with a large twist of orange zest.

Looks pretty good!

Probably.

My normal Sunday evening meal: med-rare natural strip steak cooked on the BBQ with drizzled with butter, baked potato with butter and sour cream, and salad (tomatoes, lettuce, pistachios, cucumbers, vidalia onions, goat cheese, and chunky blue cheese dressing) with some 2005 Lava Cab.

I was too tired/lazy to go back - plus I didn't notice for 2 days. Unfortunately, I also forgot about a pound of delicious Dabecca Honey Ham at the same time. I'll have to try curry powder bacon sometime.

Sorry Ric, that is really fucked up.

Pimm's cup is a good choice. I haven't tried the other two put they sound good especially the John Collins.

They are mostly things are usually computations involving infinite groups or computing certain homology groups with n! generators. Things can take a long time (or run out of memory) very quickly as n gets the least bit big. Most of the computations that I would like to do are just not possible. I have run some stuff that has run for a month and I finally stopped it and decided that there should be a better way to do it.

Prototype 27 FTW! After spending half the day outside doing house projects in the 100 degree heat, I made myself a refreshing Pimm's Cup.

http://www.archives.gov/research/genealogy/ If you go to the archives in DC to research your ancestry, they essentially sit you at a computer with this website. Pretty much all of the census data is now online. If I recall correctly, you will eventually end up at ancestry.com - I think that is where the census records are available. You can get a 14 day free trial from that them.

I keep buying dried Chipotle peppers at the store because they smell so wonderful. However, I don't know what to you them in. Does anyone know a really good recipe that uses them? Oh, and I don't eat anything that has lived under water... just meat, grains, veggies, etc.

That bacon looks good. I bought some bacon last week but forgot it at checkout counter (after paying for it).

I usually post in long threads I guess. I would guess that the "saving post" bug probably happens around 80% of the time for me but that is a very rough estimate. I didn't happen when I posted here or just now in the Macce Thread. I think there was another time it didn't happen.

Whoa cool!

Jax is even cuter when in the clean laundry basket.

The Boulevardier is excellent.

Sorry to hear about your father-in-law HPA. Hope things get better. If I were you, I would seriously think about selling gear to buy necessary medical supplies.

I didn't know about that, thanks! Unfortunately, the "Calculations are restricted to 60 seconds" comment on the bottom of the page is pretty restrictive. Not sure I run any examples that finish that quickly.
