IMO, it might be worth it to add a line to state that when in debate, it is advisable to clearly separate what is your statement based on facts/sources and what is just your own opinion. Not in every thread of course but when the threads is clearly a debate thread where facts and opinions may easily be mixed without proper notation.
I'm fairly certain that one will sort itself out quickly. In addition to it being made clearer in the newly-honed rules, a member who posts something that can be interpreted as a claim of fact will likely be challenged. They will then have to say whether it was simply their opinion, or back it up with something.
It's also possible to debate the reliability of sources, but at least then people are debating something concrete, and again it will have to come down to "I don't feel that source is trustworthy" (opinion), or "here's a study that refutes that claim" (debating the source's reliability on the basis of another source).
The whole point is to make the rules clearer, both for those debating and for those moderating. The problem up to now has been how to moderate problems we can see, but for which the framework as stated wasn't clear enough for us.

Lots of good advice. I will just emphasize two points, and make another.
Compuwar talked about power settings, and mentioned that lights can be too powerful for a space. He's totally right. Figure out where you are going to shooting (in big open spaces vs a small studio. More powerful lights are more appropriate for the big spaces, but can be real handicap in a small space. Also, if you doing small object photography (i.e. jewellery, etc) you may find less powerful lights work better. I started out in big space, and now that I'm in a smaller space I sometimes have to put a ND filter on the more powerful lights (I forget the technical name, but a ND piece of plastic made for the movie industry). I have two models of lights (Photogenics), one being less powerful than the other - which allows some flexibility.
All other things being equal, check around your community. Is there another shooter? Can you see yourself helping each other out on occasion? For instance, you are each shooting in an entirely different field. It may pay to get the same brand of lights as they have. This way you two can borrow lights - and more importantly, light modifiers - back and forth.
One thing that may not be obvious is that while lights can be mixed and matched (especially monoblocs) modifiers can not be (generally). Each brand of light generally has a proprietary mounting system, and the modifiers are matched for that mounting system. You can get different mounting plates, but it's pain. So stick with a one mounting system if you can (though as has been mentioned you can mix mounting systems for some lights if they don't need to be used in different ways.
If you do start borrowing lights with another shooter, have a written agreement in place first. Talk about what is "wear and tear". Who pays for flash-tube that needs replacing in the middle of a shoot etc. It can be done, but figure out all the problems that might happen first.
Good Luck.

Word. Just buyin' t3h Airport� card, havin' a Bud�. (Not really. I'm drinking lemonade)
So I'm wondering when they'll actually close this thread, although I would like an iPhone if anyone cares. 4gb or 8gb, makes no difference to me!
Lemonade does sound good...I just have water...I'm all out of everything :(

Interesting, but what is this emulator based on, i.e. is it QEMU or another repackaged version of Bochs?

I plan on heading out there around 2-3 after my brother gets off of work. Getting kinda worried with all this talk about shortages and long lines though

Ummm yea I'm pretty sure he meant an upgrade in aesthetics of the actual store, not the webpage. Besides that other link isn't even apple's website, it's just a site dedicated to old newton archives.
That page is a direct copy of the one from Apple's site in 1997. It's an Apple-designed/created page.

Good freaking riddance to Josh- I hope that they replace him and his Apple fanboyism with someone that is neutral and gives more unbiased reviews. I about **** myself when he gave a non-apple product a 9/10; must have been because he knew he would be leaving soon.

Hmmm, so many times the system is awake but the back light isn't coming on? I'll have to try that with mine, I always figured my system was totally frozen since shutting the lid did nothing & hitting space bar didn't do anything. I'll see if really it still will react to being told to sleep again. I'm really wondering if this is still just a software bug or some kind or logic or hardware problem. My nearest apple store is 75 miles away & I figure this wouldn't be a same day swap/replacement...
I have the same issue, I 'm calling apple tomorrow.

I am assuming that you are ripping the tracks as MP3 format files. The pause between tracks is a result of MP3's file structure, and it is impossible to have gapless playback with MP3's. It's not just iTune/iPods, no MP3 device or player will do gapless MP3 playback (if they do, it's a crossfading type trick). You should try re-ripping the CD in AAC or another format that supports gapless playback.

That's probably normal if you're skipping the wait. Maybe you removed an application that would slow down the shut down or something.

Can't hurt to try... but likely they'll charge you for a replacement if you want to get it done.
