Like most policies, it's there for a reason and is intended to benefit the overall membership.
There's a tradeoff among three less-than-perfect choices for a user's title when they are temporarily banned:
1. No change in title. The results: Posts by other users complaining that the user is rude, a hit-and-run troll, a scammer, or some other kind of troublemaker because they didn't reply to posts directed at them, even when they had asked for help, they didn't reply when their opinion was challenged, they didn't reply to PMs about Marketplace deals, etc.
2. "Banned" title. The results: Posts by other users complaining (or celebrating) that the user was permanently banned, because they don't know it's only temporary. Other users would also send emails and PMs and Contact forms to the administrator and moderators, because they thought a member in time-out had been permanently banned.
Note: #2 is vBulletin's default user title for a user with a temporary ban.
3. "In Time-Out". The results: Posts by other users complaining (or celebrating) that the user was temporarily banned.
#1 has the benefit of better user privacy but #1 and #2 don't do them any favors, since people end up talking about them, calling more attention to their change in status. And #1 gives people a bad impression of them for false reasons. #1 and #2 waste everyone's time and lead to misunderstandings. We switched to #3 because of these very real problems. The problems shown above for #3 occur much less frequently and aren't as serious.
The "In Time-Out" title was never intended to be a warning to other users.
#3 isn't as private as would be ideal, but neither is #1. Experience shows that other users notice when a regular user stops posting, so other users know something happened even if the user title doesn't change. #3 gives the bare minimal amount of information and we don't share the details with anyone but the timed-out user. It's a compromise that has served us well to prevent the problem outlined above.
The title of "In Time-Out" could be some other phrase but it's not clear that it would change the reactions of those who notice user titles and know what they mean. We added the "Guest" user title for cases where a user no longer has an account but has not been banned, to avoid the stigma associated with a banned or timed-out status. It too would have the same meaning no matter what phrase is used.
We'd rather not see gossip about users in time-out. If you report such posts, the moderators can remove them and this will increase user privacy, particularly because the user title will return to normal after the time-out but the posts will otherwise remain.

I don't think that one of the calls made in that room today was legit.
Yeah, they even used the reverb and echo effects on the people talking in their phones just to make the phone calls sound more believable (You know, their phones picking up Steve talking, and Steve's phone picking up their talking). And did you notice how Phil Shiller's phone was so staticy? I bet they did that to show how ancient and outdated his phone is in comparison to the new iPhone, while in reality his phone would've sounded crystal clear. They really put some hard work into faking the phone calls and making them believable. Good thing we see through it!

the LEDs used most often are white ones. nice, provide brighter pics. but a really good combo is ips and rgb LED. i don't think something like that exists. and any ips screen will do for what you are looking for. doesn't have to be apple. dells are good. i believe asus has put out a 500 led IPS if LED is a completely necessity for you.
I dont really know much about monitors so Im not sure if its completely neccessary, just would like to have amazing colours and blacks like the ACD.

Common? Common would mean the majority. I don't see 50% of Wii nunchucks having this problem, just as it's not common for a 360 to break (unless that figure IS over 50%?).
Jimmi boy....:rolleyes:
OP....You need to give Nintendo a call and yell at them...Don't live with just unpluging the thing all the time...maybe the N will give you a free remote/nunchuck.

Saw an old Asian man in the SF apple store looking at a site that you could rent other men by the hour. Included in the description of the men were naked pictures, he proceeded to take down the phone numbers of each man on a piece of scratch paper. This man had to be in his late 60s looking at guys in their 20s... best part was that he was on the 27 inch imac and a nicer looking elderly lady was next to him completely oblivious... good stuff at the apple store, or maybe good stuff in SF?
I know picture or it wasn't true, but the last thing that I was thinking about was taking a picture of this...

Been waiting in Chicago (not some small town, but Chicago for christ's sake) for way too long, we had the neighborhood wired for U-Verse for close to a year and still nothing. Seems for whatever corrupt reason AT&T doesn't want to compete and leave only Comcast (who I despise) as the only provider in my neighborhood. Hey Verizon, if want to make some more money just move into the Chicago area, then you can offer a package deal when you get the iPhone.:mad:
In Evanston they've had the U-Verse boxes installed for quite some time now. I use to have one directly outside my old apartment, but no U-Verse service :(

Its kind of a duh thing.
apple was the really the only successful computer maker to provide a tablet that people actually wanted. They couldn't keep them in stock.
The competition wasn't about to take that lying down and so by the end of 2010 other tablets have started hitting the market.
In apple's marketshare will decrease even further as other computer makers ready their answer to the iPad.
The competition is driving everyone to improve their products, so the winners are the consumers. Features are added and prices remain constant.

I've got a 2010 Macbook Pro 13" and I'm attempting to dual boot with Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium on a 250gb partition. The problem is, I can't get it to install. Evey time it hangs on the "Completing Installation" phase after the reboot and from what I can tell, everything but the CPU fan stops. I've looked around and tried everything.
If I press shift+F10 during that and type 'explorer.exe' (this was a recommended fix), it brings up a box that displays "setting up personalized settings for windows desktop updates."
I have tried taking out RAM until I have 2gb left, doesn't help. I don't have anything other than the power cable connected. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks.

You have a lot of options. Intel is supposed to be among the most reliable, but slower than many others. I went with the OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 120GB SSD and it has been extremely fast. Well worth the upgrade IMO. Only suggestion I have is not to stress about getting the newest SSD's that work with SATA3 connections because your won't be able to take advantage of the drive. Any second gen. SATA2 SSD's will work well.

Probably it's better to delete a plist than trying to alter it. As you were told, after deleting the file, a new one is generated by the application when it next opens.
If you are concerned about initially deleting the file, you can always move it onto the desktop and then delete it after everything is running ok. In the unlikely event of something untoward, you can always move the original file back to its original position.

I just had my hard drive replaced on my MacBook Pro. Before it crapped out on me I had everything backed up on my external hard drive. Now, all I really want from the external hard drive is all of the websites I had saved in Google Chrome. I tried but it seems like the options aren't specific enough to restore Chrome and not all the rest of the apps.
Any thoughts?
Thanks...
