Football fever is saying we're in if we beat Michigan State, as if its a done deal. God I hope we don't get embarrassed again...

Speechless

Shortnorth/Campus/Clintonville area has become a mecha for Burglaries. Buddy got cleaned out a couple weeks ago, two cops showed up and took a report, thats it. Afterwards a few of his neighbors stopped by and told him the guy on the floor above him was the prime suspect and that he was thought to have robbed numerous other people on the block. Hopefully CPD takes a vested interest in the case since guns are involved, my buddy got hit for over $6000 worth of stuff and they really didn't seem to care

Hey, thats what it was called "back then"...Wait are you insinuating I was...:masturboy:

I had a friend back in high school that used to go "car shopping", he and his buddy never messed with cars that appeared to have quality factory/aftermarket alarms installed. The last thing theieves, any theives, want is to be detected, or have something alert people to there prescence. Funny story years ago my roommate kept getting his paper stollen, so I set up a camera on the parking lot with the live feed to my desktop. There i am chilling late one night, (blinds closed, lights off,) surfing the web when i notice movment in the top corner of the monitor. Popped on the live feed tab and sure enough theres some guy with a crowbar trying to jimmy my door open. Within 3 seconds i threw the window open and shouted "ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?" - Scared the living shit out of him, never seen anyone run so fast in my life.:lolguy:

I originally had a small blinking light on the Cluster, didn't feel it was that effective in deterring thieves so I wired the aforementioned "strobe" light in place of it. Makes a world of difference.

Beat me to it. I wired a red strobe light into my factory alarm, sits right smack dab in the middle of my dash. Mah car looks like "KIT" from a distance - nobody fucks with it.

Your're in a midwest mindset. Down South is literally Nazi Germany.

Bullshit. Maybe not in the Midwest, but down South that shit happens all the time.

Germain Mercedes gon tenderize dat Angus should something go wrong...

And for all you thinking this dude is going to make bank...FKN LOL. The Judges down there are on the Cops side, they don't give a fuck. The LAST thing anyone wants to do in the South is piss off Law Enforcement, Judges included. Again, Fuck the South.

This is pretty much the norm in the South. Cops get away with whatever the fuck they want, literally. Honestly it's like living in Nazi Germany, not even joking. Spent a year in Florida dealing with it, honestly Law Enforcement along with the atrocious Health Care was the major deciding factor in moving back to the good ol' Midwest. Fuck the South. Again I still think this dude was on the "shit list" and being followed for legit reasons, just happened that the cops hit him at the wrong time.

I wouldn't touch a torque wrench from them (HF)...

I disagree, I've had extremely good luck with Harbor Freight, Jacks, Torches, Sockets - You name it.

More to this story, dude had to be a drug suspect.

Beat me to it, that is a STEAL.

This is a hell of a deal. The average price for a broken (Silver) Macbook Pro is close to $200, and that is just for the computer itself.

Get an ipad, or an older Macbook (non pro) used. About a year ago I was selling legit, fully functional 2007/2008 "Plug and Play" White Macbooks for $300-$350. They sold within days. Again, buying one new is just laughable. 85% of the 50+ market doesn't need the newest, fastest Macbook (or anything close) . My father is on a 2006 Macbook pro and it's all he will ever need for the rest of his life, in fact it's probably a bit overkill

And I like windows, I use it all the time while watching Movies/PRon/Photoshopping etc. But from a web-browsing/Email perspective Windows is a downright nightmare. Never will forget when one of my ex-hacker buddies logged into some random girls computer which he bugged, then started texting her mom out of nowhere, Like "I own you, do a barrel roll or i'll lock your computer etc." (Mainly just for lulz), I think he took control of her AIM and messaged her Science teacher with something like "I've always fantasized about your cock in my ass" - (I have the screen shots/videos somewhere). Should be noted this Windows computer had all the updates along with high-end antivirus, and my dude completely owned it. This same guy also went on to make like $40k/year simply bugging windows computers with malware, it is literally cake. That said I stopped associating with him when I found out what he was doing, mainly because I was almost certain he had hacked me days before. I bought a Mac two weeks later.

As a rule of thumb anyone over 50 in our family/extended family gets a Mac, whether they like it or not. There's simply too many vulnerabilities in Windows for the "elderly" to handle...Literally, it's become absurd. Read any number of articles on this dudes blog if you don't believe me. http://krebsonsecurity.com/2013/11/cryptolocker-crew-ratchets-up-the-ransom/ Note most, if not all of the viruses he mentions are encrypted, which means your "super duper windows anti-virus" wont detect them, initially at least.

LOL. More like "visit a malicious website and decide which one is better" Or. Run Windows update VS Mac update and see which one has more Security Updates. Windows has them weekly, Mac? Maybe once every 2 months, if that.

Buying Macbooks new :dumb: I buy them broke, then fix em. I paid like $300 for my Current 2008 Pro 3 years ago. I paid $180 for my Fathers, dude had spilled a 22oz beer on it. Took it apart, cleaned the (burnt) contacts for the DC-IN power connection, put her back togeather and whola: been running perfect for 2+ years.

Dont like the Air's. Macbook PRO all the way. DualBoot with VMWare fusion: use the Mac side for surfing/email/etc. Then switch to Windows (when needed) for all your Windows programs. Best of both worlds in one computer. Is this for you or the GF's parents??
