Here's how it would work: The offending posts are deleted from the thread in question, as per normal policy. A moderator moves those offending post(s) to a hidden section of MacRumors, visible only to moderators. Let's call it the, "Evidence" section...
We do keep a record of whatever they did wrong and we review any time-out that is appealed, reversing the time-out (and restoring the user title) if we decide that the moderators shouldn't have assigned a time-out. If that happens, it's unfortunate that their user title showed a time-out status at all, but moderation mistakes are rare so it's not much of an issue. And sometimes time-outs are reduced to shorter time-outs or warnings, rather than reversed, so the user isn't wholly innocent, just less guilty.
How about a user still being able to log in while on timeout but is unable to post. I say this as then you can still have communication from the offending user to the mods via pm (maybe restrict pm to just to mods during this time) vs using the contact us form which requires one to fill out a form to address an issue
It might be possible to do this with vBulletin but it hasn't been necessary since timed-out users can already read the site without posting (by logging out) and they can send us Contact messages outside the forums. Letting them use PMs to talk to other users might be a benefit for users who have Marketplace deals pending, but it's probably good that users who were given a time-out for insulting other users aren't able to send PMs to the people they were flaming. They get a mandatory "cool down" period instead.

Hey guys,
Hope everyone is doing good, I would like to ask if anyone is experiencing a delay from Apple and retail stores regarding the white 32GB iPhone 4. I can't seem to find any in stock at any retailer :(.
I ordered mine via apple online UK but still waiting for them to change the status to preparing for shipment.
Talk about demand for the 32GB version, the 16GB is available everywhere near me.

Hook up the hard drive and enable file sharing in system preferences under the sharing tab.
That should automatically share it to other Macs in the same network, not sure how you would go accessing it via a PC though, I guess you could do a Samba connection somehow.
EG "SMB:\\10.0.1.11\\Macintosh HD"
Otherwise it should show up in the network menu under finder on your other Macs.

Already did that earlier, pretty ****ing useless they were too, weren't really interested in applying much pressure.
It's all driving me nuts.
Wow, your ins co sucks. Dont they have a satisfaction pledge or something of the sort there? My policy specifically states that any insurance repair will return the car in a "showroom" condition. A glued on A-pillar trim isn't showroom condition.
at least they're willing to replace it after all.

Is the Mac mini Apple�s forgotten step child? It seems that way. Apple hardly discusses the mini.
Even with a healthy speed bump, the Mac mini pales when compared to the low end iMac. But for $599 you get what you pay for.
The Mac mini is a paradox Mac. It�s the lowest priced Mac by far. You can buy two Mac mini�s for the same price as the lowest priced iMac.
On the surface, that sounds like a great value. As it is with the iMac, each Mac mini comes with OS X Leopard, iLife �08, and a compact yet attractive form factor.
That�s the basic comparison. Inside, each Mac mini comes with an Intel Core 2 Duo that compares favorably with the basic iMac�for about $600 less.
Macworld does a nice comparison of the new Mac mini with the new iMac. The 2 ghz models compare favorably in every way except graphics, where the iMac wins hands down in games where frame rate is important.
What�s not to like? The new Mac mini is the same price as the old version, still comes with Airport Extreme built-in, runs about as fast as an iMac, and now has a full gigabyte of RAM.
Is that a value, or what? The kicker, of course, is that the iMac comes with a mouse and a keyboard and a built-in display, not to mention quadruple the hard drive size, and SuperDrive (vs. the base Mac mini with a slower CPU and combo CD/DVD drive).
If your needs are for a basic Mac and you already have a keyboard, mouse, and monitor, then the Mac mini is a worthy value�it�s a Mac in and out.
Getting the Mac mini to become a low end iMac is no mean feat, and an expensive one.
The 2 ghz SuperDrive Mac mini starts at $799. $874 with the largest hard drive option from the Apple Store. Add another $98 for Apple Keyboard and Mighty Mouse.
That gets the mini to $972. An Apple 20-inch display is somewhat comparable to the iMac 20-inch display, but costs a whopping $599 by itself.
That�s a grand total for a tricked out, pimped up Mac mini at $1,571 vs. the iMac at $1,199. That�s almost $400 more and there�s still slower graphics, no iSight camera, and a smaller hard drive.
So, where�s the Mac mini value now? That comparison starts to make the iMac look like Apple�s bargain of the 21st century.
But, different strokes for different folks. One man�s hamburger is another man�s steak. Or, something like that. The new Mac mini is a rugged machine that may not have all the bells and whistles of big brother iMac, but value is still there.
Back to Apple�s BYODKM policy. Bring your own display, keyboard, and mouse. IF you don�t need the high resolution of the Apple Cinema Display, and the iMac is overkill, then the Mac mini becomes the bargain of the decade for Mac users.
The Mac mini makes a great server, too. It�s cool, quiet, and faster than most of the older Mac PowerPC G5s, including the early Xserve models. Those were loud, hot, powerful beasts that cost about $3,000.
The Mac mini looks pretty good in a similar setting for a mere $599 (plus the cost of OS X Leopard Server).
For switchers from Windows, the Mac mini is an excellent way to get into the world of Macs without the expense of an iMac�assuming the soon-to-be-former Windows user has a display, keyboard, and mouse that will work on the Mac mini.
Dollar for dollar, feature for feature, the iMac is actually a better value than a Mac mini, even at twice the price. But if your need for feature parity are less, then the Mac mini saves you plenty of money.
And it�s still a Mac.
There have been rumors that �Steve Jobs hates the Mac mini.� Maybe so. There have also been rumors that Apple will drop the mini. Who knows. One thing is for sure�those of us who have added a Mac mini to our home, office, or mini-server farm, are very pleased with the value Apple provides in the mini.

That's not true. LG have a relatively new LED backlit IPS monitor series, I believe they do a 20, 22 and 23 inch. No 24's though and they're all in 16:9, not a problem for me personally, but I know some people like 16:10.
Alternatively there's an array of RGB backlit HP Dreamcolour monitors just shy of $2000, but they're fairly hideous.
I'm also confused, what's the desire for LEDs OP?
Because I know basically nothing about Monitors, and after seeing the colour and picture quality, I looked up into what types the ACD is, and assumed monitors have to use those technologies to get the vivid colours and rich blacks with the good viewing angles.

i can do anything with beejive that i can do when i've used whatsapp, but have the advantage that i can also talk to people that don't have smart phones.....
BBM is a gimmick that is dying, look at the fact that RIM are now working on making BBM work on android and iOS... desperation there....
Wait so they're making BBM work for all phones? Making it a cross platform messenger thing?

It will probably work fine but silicone will stretch and lose shape over time plus may get "dirty" looking. TPU is a much better material, you can find them cheap on eBay, usually a couple of dollars. Some of the cheaper cases might not fit as well being that they are made with lesser quality in mind, but thats not to say you cant find a good either. All depends what your looking for.

Oh, I'm so sorry to bother you with my silly little Wii problems. I suppose I should be just fine with controllers that don't always control. While I'm at it, I should be just like you and accept that my mouse doesn't always click, my keyboard doesn't always type, and my TV remote doesn't always change channels. :rolleyes:

Seems like you are a few years behind the times. The basic mini is now $699, not the same price as the old version. You can't buy two minis for the price of an iMac. It comes with OS X Snow Leopard and iLife '11. It has 2 GB of RAM. It has an older Core 2 Duo instead of the i3 in the basic iMac so is slower. But it is 2.4 not 2.0 GHz. No combo drives anymore -- they are all superdrives. No Mighty Mice anymore, it's now a Magic Mouse. The 20" Apple display hasn't been around for years, and the only Apple display available is the 27" which costs $999. There are no 20" iMacs anymore. A tricked out mini system (8GB RAM, max hard drive, 2.66GHz processor, wireless keyboard, mouse, and display) now runs $2336, which puts it within $60 of a Core i7 27" iMac with a faster, larger hard drive.
The mini server you quote at $599 + the server software ($499) is now a much better deal at $999 for the server version of the mini which has two 500GB 7200rpm hard drives.
