Also added som extra 1024mb to the system :) So now it has 1536mb pc3200 :D (1024 before, 512mb+2x256mb) - Now 3x512mb :)

Took my old 2x256mb and added to my vapochill system...

I'm gonna post mine soon once my camera makes its way back from Germany on Tuesday ;)

I just got my new desk and chair and even the monitor and tower look small on it and its 20.1" TFT with a big midi tower :pinch:

I've got my speaker system dotted around the room to with my TV/Hi-Fi/PS2 exactly opposite where the pillow on my bed is. Thing is, I don't get hardly any reception :(

Other thing thats a bummer is: My desk doesn't match the rest of my furniture, its light beech and the rest is a darker beech. :wacko: :unsure:

Apple bidet, anyone?

Yeah it'd fit right in with their other white cases. I've been saying Apple stuff looks like it belongs in a bathroom for a while.

Very nice vaio, and im I have noticed that alot of laptop users keep there factory stickers on them. Just a random thing I have been seeing. If it was me I would rip them off immediatly...

I pulled the Centrino and XP stickers off my thinkpad pretty quick. They start looking bad once they start getting worn from typing.

And about the 20" vs 24" comment. Don't remember your username. Why? If he got the 20" for the 400 dollar sale price then it wouldn't make much sense. If he paid 750 we can all laugh at him. What's funnier is the fact you paid almost twice as much for the same panel in that Apple and you could have gotten a 2405 for a little more.

Same panel, different backlight and case. I couldn't stand having one of those Dell monitors next to my PowerBook. They're not bad, but I wouldn't want one. ;)

Apple 20" Cinema Displays might have the same panel as the Dell 2005fpw, however the aesthetics of the ACD are of a much higher caliber than the Ultrasharp line. Think about it for a second. Would you rather have black on gray plastic with a dell logo, or brushed aluminum with gloss sides and touch activated buttons?

I would choose the ACDs aesthetics anyday over the ultrasharp style, however the ultrasharps are better in value, as they are significantly cheaper.

I personally, am planning to purchase a 2405FPW and a 10.6" Sony Vaio Laptop with either a Mac Mini, an iBook 12" or a Powerbook 15". (can't decide, but prob the iBook)

there is nothing like a ACD, hes just jealous

Nope just pointing out that you can get a 24" flat panel for a little more than a 20".

The aesthetics are something you have to figure out for yourself and your budget. See the 2005fpw thread and you'll see I'm not totally against the Apple display. If I bought it though I'd feel like I overpayed. Just my opinion.

There is a head to head on Anandtech's site I believe. Apparently as long as you get a good 2005fpw (and you should at some point if you're shipped a bad one.) then there isn't much difference given the case and gimicky buttons. (Don't get me wrong it's cool but I could see it getting annoying if not implemented correctly. I'd imagine accidentally turning off the display by brushing the side or something.) The main differences I think was the Dell was brighter with better whites and the apple had better darks.

Well, here's my room.. at least for another month. Hopefully my next room's a bit bigger :(

My desk... note the penny jar - that's my video card upgrade fund :p

room1.jpg

Closer view of my desk, complete with ATI Remote Wonder and PS2 controller for use with emulators :happy:

room2.jpg

My guitars (Ibanez RG7620 7-string, Hamer CX2) and my DIY sub, which needs a LOT of work

room3.jpg

Close view of my guitars and my Digitech RP2000 effects processor, which outputs to the line-in on my Audigy

room4.jpg

My beater.. Samick "Professional", which I'd probably get rid of, but it was my first guitar so I can't for sentimental reasons :rolleyes:

room5.jpg

Teh Linux Box, tucked away in the closet.. no, it's not actually a Packard Bell.. I just liked the compact case

room6.jpg

ok rite, i waz jus wonderin how do you get thoze nice big iconz for the desktop screen??

585985615[/snapback]

It looks like IconX/DesktopX which are Stardock products. Those work pretty well, you can also use AveDesk to give your desktop big icons, though the Stardock products include more options and effects (for desktop icons).

Yeah it'd fit right in with their other white cases. I've been saying Apple stuff looks like it belongs in a bathroom for a while.

I pulled the Centrino and XP stickers off my thinkpad pretty quick. They start looking bad once they start getting worn from typing.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
