Video Inspection Camera for $10.89 + free shipping
An amazing price for one of these! I've owned one for several years and have used it to look into cylinder heads on car engines, to looking around for pests living under the shed :) Great for trying to get a look in tight spaces during home improvement projects! Cheapest I've seen is at Harbor Freight when on sale and even then is usually $70-80. I'm assuming the video screen is removable and therefore "wireless" but can't confirm as I don't own this particular brand/model.

Don't need one of these at this exact moment but for this price, I snagged one.
Neat! Don't really need this right now either, but it's pretty cool... In for one!
this is amazingly cheap. I feel like the cost of making it must be at least 2x more...
Buy they take paypal, and its buy.com so how bad could it be...
Still down for 1 :)
They figured out they made a mistake and you can't buy it anymore
Now I can do that colonoscopy myself! And any other inspection that's within 3.5 feet... I wonder if you can get extended cable?
I also do not have a current need for this, but for $10 bucks and change it will be a neat toy. I'm wondering if this is a mistake, though. This unit seems to regularly sell for $100+
Reviews are mixed, but for this price, I'll take my chances.
It's been reposted by the seller for $21.89 with $12.99 shipping for a total of $34.88
Edit: Found another listing for the same item by the same seller for $14.89 plus $10.00 shipping for a total of $24.89 out the door.
it says it's sold out now
Yeah, I'm thinking that I would be shocked if the seller actually honored our orders at the $10 price.
The same seller is offering these on Best Buy at $169.99: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Agptek+-+Inspection+Camera/5380524.p?id=1218635877314&skuId=5380524
@90mcg112: Will let you know if they ship it out : )
I received an email confirmation saying that the order went through at the $10 price so we'll see if it is shipped out.
Order is still "processing".
The item has since been removed from Buy.com...
My order says the same thing. Not cancelled yet, so there may be some hope.
Just got an email from buy.com:
This is customer service from Mambate. We are so sorry to inform you that our account was attacked by viral price and we have to cancel your order. We will refund your payment in order that you won't get any loss in this case. We do apologize for any inconvenience that may have caused you.
If you have any other questions or advice, please feel free to contact us at any time.
Sincerely yours,
I got the same email.
What the heck is "viral price"? I hope they get that checked out.
@90mcg112: I didn't know what a viral price is either so I can only make an assumption that they are telling us the vendor was hacked and the hacker was able to maintain prices without the vendors approval.
@90mcg112: Ditto, anyone get a refund yet ?
I received the cancellation email as well, but my order still says "processing" on the Buy.com website.
I received an email today saying that my order has been cancelled and will be refunded.
@a4tis: Just got the same.
Oh well, cant say we didnt try :)

Top 10 Neighborhood Games for All Ages
4 of 11
Dodge Ball
Dodge ball can be a blast, as long as you use soft balls that won't sting when you get hit (and it's best to keep the younger kids out of this one). Split your group of kids into two teams, and then go to town throwing the balls at each other. When someone is hit, he is "out" and sits down. If someone catches an offending ball, the thrower is out. The game continues until all members of one team are eliminated.

I have had experience on a couple of mountain bikes when I could not adjust the disk brake caliper positions far enough left or right to keep the pads from rubbing the rotor a little. Is this common and/or normal? Is there a something I'm missing, or should I just bend it a little?
Sign up

You are not alone. These brakes require constant adjustment and are not fit for purpose. The recommendation is to upgrade to Avid BB7's or a hydraulic system. Read the litany of complaints:
Before you tear them off the bike in disgust you may want to take a read of the Park Tool instructions for adjusting Avid mechanical disk brakes:
This explains quite clearly how the brakes actually work - the outer pad moves whereas the inner pad does not. The disk gets pushed across by the outer pad to hit the inner pad. Note that the more expensive BB7's allow more adjustment and that the even more expensive hydraulic systems work differently, pushing both pads out to meet the disc rather than just 'bending it across'.
Good rim brakes are better than cheap disc brakes and your bike unfortunately has the latter. I recommend that you upgrade the brakes to the best mechanical system you can afford rather than spend any more time trying to adjust what sounds to me to be a flawed product.
Ultimately after 3 months of average riding you will get some rub from disc brakes, because of the heating and cooling the disc gets slightly warped and shaped. If it is slowing down your wheel, as opposed to just heating it, then I suggest you get it serviced (bled and adjusted). I have pad control on my Avid Juicy 7's and only use it little, once dialed in it's where I like it for control purposes.


text: This is probably going to be one of the cutest lessons that I will upload today. It's because this little guy is going to be named by Sam Sparks from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs as they travel through their hometown which is being overrun by all kinds of different foods that evolved from Flint's food machine. This lesson is on a little strawberry that Sam takes a liking to. Here is "how to draw Barry the Berry", step by step. He is going to be such an easy character to recreate because he's basically shaped like a heart and has a pair of eyes. Drawing Barry the Berry is easy enough for anyone to tackle. So go ahead and create another character from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2.

Hi, does somebody know if there is any software for visualizing very large posets? (like those in page 27 of this notes of Guenter Ziegler). They may arise (as in that text) by considering the face lattices of high dimensional polytopes. Thanks!
I feel certain that Ziegler's Fig. 2.1 below (to which I assume you are referring?)
was just drawn "by hand"
in a generic drawing program,
such as Adobe Illustrator, or xfig.
This is probably not what you want, but Mathematica (via Combinatorica) can draw Hasse diagrams.
See, e.g., this link for how to accomplish this.
John Stembridge's site containing Maple packages for symmetric functions, posets, root systems, and finite Coxeter groups could be helpful.
David Cook, Sonja Mapes and I have a package for Macaulay 2 which draws pictures of posets, either with or without node labels. It will produce the TikZ code to include these in papers as well.
How large though is "very large"? While there are a number of built-in enumerators in our package (lcm lattices, hyperplane arrangement lattices, noncrossing partition lattices, etc.) which can produce fairly large posets quickly, the only limitation might be how you're storing or inputting these posets.
I'm seeing this question very late, but have two possibly useful suggestions for drawing posets:
Curtis Greene et al. have a nice package at http://ww3.haverford.edu/math/cgreene.html.

I have three PC's running Fedora 14 at home, and I'm far away from home until 2012.01.01. When I get home, I plan to migrate them to Scientific Linux 6.1, which has longer support time.
Since Fedora 14 isn't maintained after 2011.12.08, is it a security threat to use it after that? The PC's are only used for simple purposes, e.g. web browsing, email, etc. The web browser is Google Chrome, and I installed the Web of Trust plugin a long time ago to add a small amount of browsing security.
Should I find a way to install Scientific Linux 6.1, or is using an unsupported distro for 24 days not a major security problem? I don't want to run
dist-upgrade via SSH because it could kill the OS.

FBI agents have broken up an alleged prostitution ring that included brothels in five Northern California cities from Chico to Stockton.
Federal authorities arrested three people for harboring illegal aliens.
Agents found alleged brothels in Chico, Fairfield, Sacramento, Yuba City, and Stockton. Most of the prostitutes were from Mexico. The address investigated in Chico is on Shoshone Avenue, just off West 11th Avenue.
Investigators said the women were moved from brothel to brothel at weekly intervals and were not allowed to leave.
Confidential informants, some wearing tape recorders, were used to gather evidence.
According to the indictment, the three suspects are Roberto Urbina-Gonzalez, Everardo Ibarra Regaldo and Corina Dominguez.
The suspects are accused of harboring and transporting illegal aliens and employing illegal aliens as prostitutes.
KRCR News Channel 7 visited the Chico apartment where investigators said the illegal activity happened. Find out what the people there had to say about the allegations, tonight on KRCR News Channel 7.

By SHAWNA JANKOVIAK
MARQUETTE, Mich. — Several Northern Michigan University alumni will be honored this weekend, including the Cheboygan County Prosecutor and a retired teacher who now resides in Cheboygan.
The Northern Michigan University Alumni Association will honor four award winners during the Homecoming weekend, including Daryl Vizina of Cheboygan for Outstanding Young Alumni, William Stark of Cheboygan for Alumni Achievement, Paul LeVeck of Berkley for Alumni Civic Leadership and Diane Husic of Kunkletown, Pa. for Distinguished Alumni.
According to Northern Michigan University staff, after four years of practicing law in the private sector, Vizina, of Indian River, won a contested election to become prosecuting attorney for Cheboygan County at the age of 31.
With a felony caseload of more than 200 cases annually, Vizina also manages four attorneys and office staff members. Vizina has initiated community and youth programs on the topics of bullying and drug awareness, and was instrumental in the creation of the Cheboygan County Drug Court. He also volunteers his time with the Community Action Coalition, is chairman and founder of the 100 Club of Cheboygan County and is a member of the Knights of Columbus and Cheboygan County Gun Board.
Vizina was also the featured speaker as part of the NMU Alumni Association's inaugural "WildCATS: Connecting Alumni to Students" initiative.
"It's a great honor," Vizina said. "I remember when I went to school up there; I was 18, from Indian River, and a little bit homesick initially. I would never have envisioned that 17 years later I would get award for this type of thing. There are a lot of deserving candidates, and the fact that they would nominate me and then decide I would be the recipient is very humbling."
Stark was an educator for 36 years before retiring and moving to Cheboygan in 2010, where he had a vacation home. He now operates Northern Lakes Property Management in Cheboygan. He spent the bulk of his teaching career in the Anchor Bay school district in New Baltimore, Mich. mainly teaching fourth grade, and continually strove to offer innovative and unique learning opportunities for his students. These include an in-classroom incubator to hatch chicks and participation in the Leader Dog for the Blind Program, which allowed students to teach simple commands to puppies and learn about the organization.
In addition to mentoring several student teachers, Stark has received numerous awards, including Anchor Bay School District Elementary Teacher of the Year, Michigan Education Association Distinguished Service Award and Macomb Daily/Oakland Press Media in Education Teacher of the Year.
"I'm very honored to receive it," Stark said. "My son and daughter-in-law nominated me a couple of years ago."
The other alumni award recipients include LeVeck, who has taught band and orchestra to thousands of Detroit Public Schools students for more than 30 years, and Husic, who is chair and professor of the biological sciences department at Moravian College in Bethlehem, Pa.

- Binding: Paperback, with Ebook Coming Soon
- Era: World War II
- Number of Pages: 576
- Subject:
- Date Available: August 2005
Hailed as one of the finest examples of aviation research, this comprehensive 1984 study presents a detailed and scrupulously accurate operational history of carrier-based air warfare. From the earliest operations in the Pacific through the decisive Battle of Midway, it offers a narrative account of how ace fighter pilots like Jimmy Thach and Butch O'Hare and their skilled VF squadron mates--called the "first team"--amassed a remarkable combat record in the face of desperate odds. Tapping both American and Japanese sources, historian John B. Lundstrom reconstructs every significant action and places these extraordinary fighters within the context of overall carrier operations. He writes from the viewpoint of the pilots themselves, after interviewing some fifty airmen from each side, to give readers intimate details of some of the most exciting aerial engagements of the war. At the same time he assesses the role the fighter squadrons played in key actions and shows how innovations in fighter tactics and gunnery techniques were a primary reason for the reversal of American fortunes. After more than twenty years in print, the book remains the definitive account and is being published in paperback for the first time to reach an even larger audience.
John B. Lundstrom is Curator Emeritus of History at the Milwaukee Public Museum where he has worked since 1967. He is the author of five books, including Black Shoe Carrier Admiral, The First Team and the Guadalcanal Campaign and coauthor of Fateful Rendezvous: The Life of Butch O'Hare.

[natural gas]
[fuel oil]
The excitement about natural gas as a useful industrial tool
has spread to the Scottish countryside. A collection of whisky
distillers in the Speyside area of Scotland plans to invest
£7.6 MM to install a 16-mile gas pipeline that will link
four of these distilleries to the main gas network. Diageo,
Chivas Brothers and Angus Dundee said the pipeline will end
their reliance upon fuel oil and will cut their energy costs by
around 30%. The new pipeline will connect distilleries at The
Glenlivet, Tormore, Cragganmore and Tomintoul with
Scotlands main gas network. Work on the underground
pipeline began in November and is expected to be completed
within 18 months.
The conversion to natural gas is expected to reduce
distillery carbon emissions by a quarter and will
remove the need for tanker deliveries on rural roads often
affected by severe winter weather.
A joint statement from the three distillery companies said:
These distilleries were founded before the advent of gas
as an energy source and their distant locations were often
chosen for a bounteous supply of fresh spring water above all
else. It is a very positive move to bring them online with the
main gas network, which will bring environmental and economic benefits
to all distillers concerned. HP

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals.

For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Is there a way to tell if my epiphone les paul is a standard or standard plus?
There sure is. Epiphone LP Standards can have a top on them, but it will have a plain old maple top. Maple, or common acer saccharum, comes in many flavors--some of which look more sexy than others. Anomalies such as flame, quilt, and birds-eye maple are prized for their beauty and often slapped atop very expensive guitars. The Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus, however, nets you a nice flame maple top at a pretty nice price--and it ships only with flame maple from what I understand. The plain old Epiphone Les Paul Standard can have either a regular maple top or a flat paint finish with no top. So, you can tell by answering the following questions:
If it's the picture on the left, then you have an Epiphone Les Paul Standard with a top. If it's the picture on the right, then you have an Epiphone LP Standard Plus.
I think the "Plus" refers to the quality of the grain of the Maple Top. If your Guitar has a soliid opaque color it's probably not a Plus. However, if yours has a Sunburst (or any Finish that shows the mapletop's grain) with particularly nice grain it most likely is a Plus.

When the paper The unification of Mathematics via Topos Theory by Olivia Caramello, says "one can generate a huge number of new results in any mathematical field without any creative effort." is this an exaggeration, and if not is this a new idea or has it always been thought that topos theory could enable automatic generation of theorems.
Topos theory provides a dictionary between (certain areas of) logic and (certain areas of) geometry. As such, it provides all the benefits that mathematical dictionaries do: It lets you translate between two languages whose natural evolutions proceeded independently. An insight that is obvious in one domain may not be so obvious when translated to the other domain.
Dictionaries cannot perform magic. In particular, it is usually too optimistic to think that a dictionary will allow you to prove significant new theorems with no effort. True, sometimes we do get lucky in this way. When Richard Stanley first discovered the dictionary between toric varieties and convex polytopes, he almost immediately reaped the reward of proving an important combinatorial conjecture with very little effort, because geometers had already put in a lot of work to solve exactly the problem he needed. But more commonly, the payoff of a dictionary is that it allows you to formulate good questions with very little effort. That is, you now have a new way to think about old problems, so you may be able to find your way more easily to a solution by borrowing concepts from both domains. You will still need to do hard work to solve hard problems, but your toolbox is now bigger.
This statement is true, but there's substantially less than meets the eye to it.
Topoi are gadgets which are both models of both a fairly large fragment of logic (typed higher-order logic), and are generalizations of sheaves on a topological space. (The reason this connection is possible is morally that the open sets of a topological space form a Heyting algebra, which is a model of propositional intuitionistic logic.) As a result of their high logical strength, you can take many practical constructions and encode them in the internal logic of a topos. Then you can take an external view and hit these constructions with topologist technical wizardry.
Since topologists and logicians talk to each other rather less frequently than we ought to, this method is a very fertile source of theorems. "Without creative effort" is just a rhetorical flourish intended to encourage people to learn about topoi -- there's no way (presently) that a computer could generate theorems via topos theory. But it is an effective tool for human mathematicians to port ideas from one area to another, which has always been a productive endeavor.
The book to read on this subject is MacLane and Mordeijk's Sheaves in Geometry and Logic, which, as you can guess from the title, emphasizes the moral that taking a synthesizing perspective on mathematics is often valuable.
I can't really answer the question, but I attended Olivia's talk today at CT2010 in Genova where she was presenting this paper, and I asked her some questions afterwards. Any errors or misrepresentations in my following comments are entirely mine.
When the informal statement is made technical, there appear to be some qualifications. First, it applies only to mathematical theories that can be formalized in geometric logic. This is a kind of logic with a restriction on how quantifiers can be used in axioms. According to Olivia, this is not much of a restriction, because it includes for example finitary logic, and more.
Second, to be able to transport results from one theory to another, the theories must be Morita equivalent. Apparently this is more common than one might think, and once one has Morita equivalence, one can transport all kinds of results back and forth. So perhaps it would be fair to say that "some creative effort" goes into finding appropriate Morita equivalences in the first place.
Olivia refered to her Ph.D. thesis for a number of examples where this had been done. I have not really seen the examples. The areas of mathematics that she specifically mentioned in her talk were algebra, topology, two different branches of logic (proof theory and model theory), and a 5th one which I forgot. Definitely not PDE's or Riemannian geometry.
Two more remarks: a topos is a kind of set theory, so it is indeed plausible that all kinds of areas of mathematics can be formalized within a topos. Sometimes this is done by "real" mathematicians (i.e., non-logicians). For example, Tom Hales's ongoing formalization of the proof of the Kepler conjecture is done in HOL Light, which uses a topos logic as far as I remember. (The proof is not constructive, as excluded middle and the axiom of choice have been added as additional axioms). Tom has already given a complete machine-checkable proof of the Jordan curve theorem. The point of doing this in HOL Light, at this point, is not so much the topos aspect, but the fact that the proofs can be verified by machine, eliminating the referee's residual uncertainty. This is impractical with "ordinary" set theory.
Last, when one claims to be able to generate "new theorems", this does not necessarily mean "interesting new theorems". I guess that in some cases, they can be interesting, but perhaps more so to logicians than to other mathematicians. Then again, it's happened before that disjoint areas of mathematics were related, and when this happens, it is always useful. Seems nice to have another avenue.
It would be presumptuous on my part to attempt to answer this question, but I want to share with other MOers this recent paper
of Laurent Lafforgue and this video
of one of his recent lectures, [dont] le but [] est de poser cette question (inspirée par la théorie de Caramello) : l'indépendance de $l$ de la cohomologie $l$-adique et la correspondance de Langlands sont-elles des équivalences de Morita entre topos classifiants ?
Here is a quote from the paper : La théorie de Caramello... offre déjà un très grand nombre d'exemples d'équivalences de Morita et de leurs applications. Ces exemples sont étonnament divers et ils apparaissent presque toujours comme surprenants. Beaucoup d'énoncés auraient été très difficiles à démontrer, et plus encore à imaginer, sans les topos et sans les méthodes de calcul que la théorie des topos classifiants et des équivalences de Morita rend possibles et naturelles. Quand on songe que la correspondance de Langlands ressemble beaucoup à une equivalence de Morita et qu'elle en est peut-être une, on se dit que le champ ouvert à cette théorie est immense.
When a phrase is taken from a context, it is easy to misread it. If one looks at the paper, "one can generate a huge number of new results in any mathematical field without any creative effort" makes sense and is justified.
The idea is that most Mathematics can be formalized as a geometric theory, i.e, a logical theory with infinitary disjunction and finitary conjunction with the natural rules of inference. This is true since most Mathematics can be formalized in first-order logic which can be translated in geometric logic, and the translation preserves set-theoretic models. The model theory of geometric logic is naturally categorical; in fact, it is sound and complete (in a strong sense) when one considers the categorical models living inside Grothendieck toposes. The completeness theorem is proved by constructing a universal model which lives in a special topos, the classifying topos.
Olivia's result shows that very different theories share the same classifying topos (or better, they have different but equivalent classifying toposes). When this fact happens, and it is not uncommon - Olivia provides very general techniques to achieve this result - the classifying topos allows to move results from one theory to another. Examples have shown that very simple results in one theory translate into very deep results in other theories. But the translation technique is not-dictionary oriented but rather "modulo an abstract invariant" which allows for an extremly high degree of freedom.
The interesting thing in this machinery, which is not automatic, is exactly that a huge number of new mathematical results in any field of Mathematics can be generated without any significant creative effort. Of course, not every result can be generated in this way, as far as we know now, and not every generated result is significant. The mathematical intuition of an educated mathematician is needed to choose the right theories and the correct invariant to achieve a significant result. Olivia's examples show that very simple invariants applied to very classical theories provide explanations to deep results and a couple of new interpretation of classical results have been obtained.
As far as I'm able to understand Olivia's results, I believe her conclusions because her articles prove them. Of course, my understanding is not perfect and the explanation above are approximations of the real results. And yes, she is doing a big claim - but I became convinced that it is a true one.

You do realise that Barce are worth roughly 50 times as much as me? :P
You do realise that Barce are worth roughly 50 times as much as me? :P
I barely beat them at being worth 1/14th of them lol
It's harder for me!
I faith the faith of the land of Ice!
Humm.... I have faith just not enough to beat Barce :P
I didn't think I could do as good as I did, but when Real Madrid fell easily... anything was possible!
But Real just buy players and don't care how good they are :P Barce care about the quality of players...
Real Madrid still has Jose Mourinho as coach in my game... Barca though in my game has the 2nd best coach in the game... after me of course
Barce have David Moyes.. he's 70 though so should hopefully go soon...
I think Real still have Jose...
Ugh David Moyes...
I don't even know why. He got to the EURO Cup 1/4's with Everton the Barce took him... :S
Reminds me of Alan Shearer in my game as England Coach... Loosing badly and not getting fired at both the world cup and European Championships
I also have found a player with the BEST name ever. I'll let you guess at it
I'll never guess it but I'm looking forward to it
Go on, give it a try. The initials are B S
Bull Shot
I'm hoping your 4-0 over Juve is an omen...
Grats on another great season mate and reaching 500 games. Just done that in my save. Not tittles for me yet though lol
Will be good to get the facilities up so you can start to filter some HG talent through and balance the team a bit more
BS? Billy Swallows?
Good luck against Barcelona!
I might be able to get to April tonight but real work is coming first...
And a big thank you to everyone who has viewed this thread and got it to 10,000 views!

I have to say that KFK logo looks stupid :P
I like it
I don't think I can bring myself to do it until I have finished in Iceland though...
How far are you realistically from Chumps League glory? If you are still quite a few years away I'd do one. You might never get a better offer...
What am I saying? Don't ever leave Iceland!
If I start spending some money it will probably be about 3-7 season with the right draws..
I rejected it anyway
He's fine, he just needs to spend on the right players for 5 years like I did and he can win the Champions League
Season 15 January February and March Update - Urvalsdeild:
Results | Finances
The first game against Barce was a little disappointing and we should have kept it to 1-0 but honestly they are miles better than me currently. The second we played 20 minutes with only 9 men after two straight red cards, we performed well keeping the second to 0-0 until half time. Other than that we have just been dominating the domestic clubs, the one draw was the only speck on our campaign so far.
I don;t need to say anything about finances, we make money.
Transfers | Squad
We have sold £10m worht of players. Players just seem to gain value at my club, the problem is that it is becoming harder and harder to find replacements.
The squad is still big but needs to be, I have had 3 DC's injured in a month...
Its sad how big our squads have to be due to damn scheduling
I know.. My huge budget helps me though
And that lovely £2.6m pay day for losing to Barce
Indeed it does.
Looking forward to when the club rankings come out.. I'm still climbing quickly
I'm 23rd... up 27!
I'm still about 100 but I have seasons with no European football still counting...
indeed, it'll get bet up
I know you have been wanting to find out this name:
hahahaha Nice One!
Thats funny, I saw Ebbsfleet bought Prince Salami
The best thing is he's good!
Yeah he looks good
I bet he hot dogs it a lot.
Season 15 July Half Season Update - Urvalsdeild:
Results | League Table
The best league record so far but lost in the cup.
There was no way we couldn't be first!
The European Seeding Has improved in the EURO Cup. We also improved a lot in the European standings, getting into the Knockout rounds helped a lot.
Finances | Transfers
We are still loaded and now have a huge stadium with over 8800 seated.
A lot out and a lot in. Getting annoyed at the board accepting any offer over about £500k...
Any information you want then just ask.
Another job offer rejected:
Damn sold a lot of players... even Michael Jackson
Heh another job offer nice, I'm almost done with the season so I can upgrade and see if anyone wants me lol
Damn the only 3 non EU players rule stings... I got 8 and can only use 3 at once.... wth...

Well I have about 7 who are now Iceland second nationality which helps me :P I haven't been affected by that rule yet :S
All of those sales were over my head
Benfica £425k budget what's going on there?
Did you take the job?
Read^ "Another job offer rejected"
I know know what's up with it, I have £10m transfer here so I stayed :P
This was given as offside:
Fail at ref?
was it against Man Utd at Old Trafford lol
That sucks man. Was it an important goal?
It was away from home in Iceland. I was 1-0 up and won the game 3-0 so it didn't matter, just annoyed me more!
Did you let the ref have it? I bloody well would, but then again I'm a very angry manager.
I wasn't too bothered as we won, if that was a winning goal I would!
Ah there's the difference. I barely win.
Even with my squad being butchered I can still win
No one likes a boaster Flamers...
I still suck in Europe if that helps?
I was very lucky.. I know that. We shouldn't have got out, 3rd maybe....
That sucks, but you'll make it to the top!
I'm gutted that MJ is gone
Salami will be my new hero
I'm good at finding these names I feel
I'm preparing my squad for the 3 EU rule
Indeed it would of been worse at the beginning though... now its not that bad
Yer, we can just pay for players and they gradually become EU
in 5 years! but now I can afford the price of European players!
Same but my chairman is selling my fecking players still!
don't have that problem thankfully, how large is your squad?
30 players including some youth who make sub appearances...
hmmmm no more then me.... wonder if chairmen have a "personality" lol Some like to sell players for a living
I'm thinking that... It was a £2.5m offer for a player valued at £900k...
not bad but wow that would annoy me...
I'm running out of EU players though :P He got Icelandic nationality!
Nice I got 4 left, one leaves for his release clause so I'm good
Season 15 Review - Uravlsdeild:
League Results | Icelandic Cup Deildabikar Results | Icelandic Cup VISA-Bikar Results | Icelandic Supercup Result | European Results | League Table
I'm still waiting on the perfect season, one day... One day... The league was perfect considering some games we had 11 players on International duty!
Here is the full draw for the Group Stages, group of death much?. We were ranked as 200-1 outsiders to win the Cup which I can't complain at.
We had the league secure with 3 games left this season which was great, we had it with 4 games left due to a huge goal difference. To complete our rout of the league we got the top 2 Golden Boots , the top 3 Footballers of the Year, the Young Player of the Year, 6 players in Team of the Year!, the 2nd best goal of the season and I won Manager of the Year!
Finances | Transfers
£30m, not a bad balance. If the 3 EU players rule comes in then that might reduce as I might need to buy some in.
As you can see the chairman got the butchers knife out and I had to fill the gaps with what I could, I don't think I did a bad job though!
Key Players
1. Bare Sene. The only one of my "good" players not to have run off to another club, in fact he rejected a contract from OL!
2. Rodrigo. What a splendid first season! 50 goals in 43 appearances, this man is a machine!
3. Franklin Bastardo. My second top scorer, plays well in his supporting role and scores some real cracking goals when he wants to.
Youth Players
1. Johann Hallgrimmson. The end of last season saw him play 5 games at Tottenham, then this season he has been loaned out to Inverness who are doomed to go down. However he did score his first international goal this year. Against England!
If you want any more screenshots then just ask me.
Maybe you should try and get Johann Hallgrimmson on loan from Tottenham next season.
I'm tempted.. I will see what comes through the academy this year
Heh I had a Rodrigo too from Brazil, 2 years younger then yours.... nice going this season... that looks like an easy group for you!
Yer but for some reason i can't seem to get a win :S Man City are REALLY hard though... PSG are also insane...
Season 15 - International News:
Ivory Coast Results | World Cup Qualifying Group Round 2 | World Cup Qualifying Group Round 3 | Africa Cup Of Nations Group
We simply didn't put in the performances I expected in the second half of the year, we need to do much better. We still came top of our group but should have won it by a much bigger margin.
The third round looks much harder, I am really not looking forward to it as I think my job might end up on the line. Especially with my Africa Cup of Nations group being hard as well and the FA wanting a Semi-Final appearance!
Good read this thread, I have always fancied playing in Iceland. Good luck dude and I don't think you should leave for awhile yet.
I want to win the Cl before I leave.. I would LOVE to see Icelandic football become equal to Spanish/Italian/English football as well....
EDIT: We are £3m off of Wolves who are the 100th richest club in the world!
Have you seen the thread in GD where the guy holidayed for 300 years with only Iceland open? They were the 4th best league in 2300 and something.
I haven't.. I dont go to GD much
But thats with the computer in charge... This is with a human, it's well know humans beat the AI in the long term (i.e. we can scout better etc)
It will take less than 300 years at least I hope so lol. Wonder how much winning the Champions League would increase the rep of the Icelandic domestic league.
Enjoyed looking over this thread not sure why it took me so long to comment and read it all. Good luck dude.
Well the CL is a 5 star ranked competition and me getting to the groups rose it by 0.5 star and getting to the knockout round rose it another 0.5. I think a win will see it go to 3.5 (2.5 current)
After I won the champions league in Iceland we got an automatic qualifying spot and are ranked the 14th top league in Europe.
I'm now 88th richest club in my world in Iceland... you're catching up!
My league is now is 3 stars after winning the CL once... just saying
I will see when I get there!
I am now at £41.5m which is great
Only 1 loss outside of European Competition. Nice.
And Barce in the knockout round. How far the mightly have fallen.
They have to be in a knockout round :P That isn't the qualifying round :P
It's due to the funny season up north
Season 16 Prevue - Urvalsdeild:
Results | Expectations | Media Expectations
We couldn't compete this year, losing all but one game in our group.
We are expected to win, and win by a big margin.
Finances | Transfers
The greedy shareholders took £9m from the club this year which I was a bit annoyed about! But oh well...
For once we have managed to stop the AI managers from stealing ALL of my players.
Still looking good
Key Signings
1. Hyacinthe Kone. I had to bring him in, he is rated at 3 stars with good potential. He should be seeing full international action sooner rather than later
2. Regis Kalenga. Has the potential to be the next Bare Sene, he should develop well and form a good partnership with Sene.
3. Rodrigo. Yes, another Rodrigo. This might get confusing by this one will be good in Europe when I have to play more defensive wingers.
Youth Spotlight
1. Garðar Sævarsson. He is rated at 0.5 CA and 3.5 PA so I doubt he will ever claim a full first team role but you might see him making some substitute appearances in the future.
If you want any more screenshots then just ask me.
The worrying thing is for me they are "prospects" for another other club they are leading stars :P
I am looking at a VERY tasty striker though
Had my chance at a wonderkid too bad he cost 20 mill lol.... only had 13
Nice update, I think Europe is harder but we'll see how I do in the group phase
Also JerseyShoreDave mine doesn't have the 3 non-EU rule in. Not sure why :S
did you start the new season? It didn't show up on mine until my first Upper League Cup match
I have started the cup groups and still no sign of it.. :S
On my game is the the Dieldbikar, the one that starts before the season?
Rules for that:

Is it possible to exhibit a (Hamel) basis for the vector space l^infinity, given by the bounded sequences of real numbers?
The question is about the complexity of the simplest possible Hamel basis of l^infty, and this is a perfectly sensible thing to ask about even in a context where one wants to retain the Axiom of Choice. That is, we know by AC that there is a basis---how complex must it be?
Such a question finds a natural home in descriptive set theory, a subject concerned with numerous similar complexity issues. In particular, descriptive set theory provides tools to make the question precise.
My answer is that one can never prove a negative answer to the question, because it is consistent with the ZFC axioms of set theory that Yes, one can concretely exhibit a Hamel basis of l^infty.
To explain, one natural way to measure the complexity of sets of reals (or subsets of R^infty) is with the projective hierarchy. This is the hierarchy that begins with the closed sets (in R, say, or in R^omega), and then iteratively closes under complements and projections (or equivalently, continuous images). The Borel sets appear near the bottom of this hierarchy, at the level called Delta11, and then the analytic sets Sigma11 and co-analytic sets Pi11, and so on up the hierarchy. Sets in the projective hierarchy are exactly those sets that can be given by explicit definition in the structure of the reals, with quantification only over reals and over natural numbers. If we were to find a projective Hamel basis, then it will have been exhibited in a way that is concrete, free of arbitrary choices. Thus, a very natural way of making the question precise is to ask:
Question. Does l^infty have a Hamel basis that is projective?
If the axioms of set theory are consistent, then they are consistent with a positive answer to this question. This is not quite the same as proving a positive answer, to be sure, but it does mean that no-one will ever prove a negative answer to the question.
Theorem. If the axioms of ZFC are consistent, then they are consistent with the existence of a projective Hamel basis for l^infty. Indeed, there can be such a basis with complexity Pi13.
Proof. I will prove that under the set-theoretic assumption known as the Axiom of Constructibility V=L, there is a projective Hamel basis. In my answer to question about Well-orderings of the reals, I explained that in Goedel's constructible universe L, there is a definable well-ordering of the reals. This well-ordering has complexity Delta12 in the projective hierarchy. From this well-ordering, one can easily construct a well-ordering of l^infty, since infinite sequences of reals are coded naturally by reals. Now, given the well-ordering of l^infty, one defines the Hamel basis as usual by taking all elements not in the span of elements preceding it in the well-order. The point for this question is that if the well-order has complexity Delta12, then this definition of the basis has complexity Pi13, as desired. QED
OK, so we can write down a definition, and in some set-theoretic universes, this definition concretely exhibits a Hamel basis of l^infty. There is no guarantee, however, that this definition will work in other models of set theory. I suspect that one will be able to find other models of ZFC, in which there is no projective Hamel basis of l^infty. It is already known that there might be no projective well ordering of the reals (a situation that follows from large cardinals and other set theoretic hypotheses), and perhaps this also implies that there is no projective Hamel basis. In this case, it would mean that the possibility of exhibiting a concrete Hamel basis is itself independent of ZFC. This would be an interesting and subtle situation. To be clear, I am not referring here merely to the existence of a basis requiring AC, but rather, fully assuming the Axiom of Choice, I am proposing that the possibility of finding a projective basis is independent of ZFC.
Conjecture. The assertion that there is a projective Hamel basis of l^infty is independent of ZFC.
I only intend to consider the question in models of ZFC, so that l^infty has a Hamel basis of some kind, and the only question is whether there is a projective one or not. In this situation, the fact that AD seems to imply that there is no Hamel basis is not relevent, since that axiom contradicts AC.
Apart from this, I also conjecture that there can never be a Hamel basis of l^infty that is Borel. This would be a lower bound on the complexity of how concretely one could exhibit the basis.
From the preview page of Garnir's Dream Spaces with Hamel Bases, by Norbert Brunner [Arch. Math. Logik 26 (1987), 123-126]: "The situation changes completely, if one drops AC and instead assumes e.g. the axiom determinacy AD plus the principle of dependent choices DC. Then every linear map $A:X \to Y$ from a Banach space $X$ into a normed space $Y$ is continuous." (Brunner then says that Garnir establishes this from a weaker hypothesis.) Also, Wikipedia tells me that the axiom of dependent choice implies countable choice, and countable choice implies that every infinite set has a countably infinite subset. If $\ell^\infty$ (or any other infinite-dimensional Banach space $X$) has a Hamel basis, this contradicts the above setup. A Hamel basis for an infinite-dimensional Banach space $X$ is infinite, and assuming a countably infinite subset, you can make an unbounded and therefore discontinuous linear map from $X$ to $\mathbb{R}$.

Conn-Selmer booth at NAMM packed with top players!
Sal Lozano, the saxophonist with the television show "Dancing with the Stars", was at the show demonstrating Selmer Paris saxophones, Avanti flutes, and Bliss clarinets. He was even seen playing duets with the namesake of the Bliss clarinet, Julian Bliss. Anesha Dexter, flute instructor for the University of Arkansas, made an autograph appearance and demonstrated why she prefers Avanti flutes.
On Friday, the show was packed with legendary jazz performers including Yanagisawa saxophone artists Mel Martin and Marshall McDonald; King trombone artist Bob McChesney, Selmer Paris saxophone artist Richie Cole, and legendary Bach trombone artist Bill Watrous. A legendary moment in the show was watching these talented performers together trading improvised solos. Also on Friday, Conn-Selmer hosted demonstrations and clinics with international saxophone recording artist and Selmer Paris endorser Jessy J; Dan Bochard, longtime Bach trombone loyalist; and Bach trumpet endorser and mariachi performing legend Jose Hernandez .
On the booth throughout the entire show, international clarinet superstar, Julian Bliss was available to sign autographs, perform product demonstrations, and answer any questions about the Bliss line of clarinets. On Sunday, rounding out the demonstration schedule was the legendary group the Canadian Brass, who performs on Bach and Conn instruments. The Canadian Brass performed on the main concert stage for NAMM and then led the crowds into the Conn-Selmer booth for a demonstration and autograph signing session.
Conn-Selmer would like to sincerely thank all the legendary performers who made appearances at the show.

What is the difference between LCD and LED?
I have a question, What is the difference between LCD and LED?
I often confuse the difference between LCD and LED. Who can help me understand they are difference, thank you in advance.
5 Answers answer
LCD TV is also known as Liquid Crystal Display TV. From its name, it uses liquid crystal to produce images on the TV screen. Its thin layer of liquid crystal has tiny cells that produce pixels. As an electric current is applied, its rod shaped molecules respond by bending the light. LCD TVs are quite inefficient in terms of power utilization because the enormous mass of light that is being produced behind the screen is blocked before it reaches the person who is watching the television.
LED TVs also known as Light Emitting Diode on the other hand use backlighting technology with the use of LED. Its screen contains blue, red and green LEDs which lights up to produce the correct color. It has two types of backlighting technology: Edge Lighting and Full Array. Its backlighting technology makes it possible to consume 40% less power making it eco friendly.
@jeckyl913: In a sense, can I say LED is equal to LCD Principle at work? And are they both inefficient in terms of power utilization?
You are a bit confused...
you should be asking for the difference between LED and fluorescent LCD's.
both use LCD technology to create the image you see, the only difference is the light source.
regular led uses a fluorescent light to illuminate the screen, LED lcd uses led's as backligts, which typically use less electricity than traditional fluorescent LED displays
LED LCD's can be edge lit or backlit, with backlit typically being the better & more expensive of the two types of LED LCD's. The advantage being that a backlit LED LCD can turn off some of the LED lights sources if there is a black/dark area in the image on the screen.
both are more efficient than plasma or CRT displays. by a HUGE factor.
from wikipedia:
An LED-backlight LCD television is an LCD TV that uses LED backlighting instead of the CCFL used in traditional LCD televisions. It is not a true LED display but is called "LED TV" by some manufacturers.[1] The use of LED backlighting has a dramatic impact, resulting in a thinner panel, less power consumption and better heat dissipation, and a brighter display with better contrast levels.
The LEDs can come in three forms:
* Dynamic RGB LEDs which are positioned behind the panel
* White Edge-LEDs positioned around the rim of the screen using a special diffusion panel to spread the light evenly behind the screen (the most common)
* A full-array of LEDS which are arranged behind the screen but are incapable of dimming or brightening individually

I have been trying to uninstall jre6 but I keep getting the error
First off, I believe the uninstall is failing because you don't have the package name exactly right. You do not need to uninstall the old version as there is a way for you to choose which you would prefer to use. Enter this command in terminal:
The versions of Java currently installed on your system will appear for you to choose from. Keeping both can come in handy as some applications may work better with one or the other. After you have made your choice, enter this command in terminal:
That will tell you which version is currently in use to confirm your changes
If you ever get a dpkg error. Use the following to purge to dpkg (this is an extreme measure)

A St. Joseph County Sheriff's deputy who authorities say stole a prescription pain reliever from the jail while on duty was placed on probation Monday.
In March, Stephen Morris, 39, pleaded to two counts of larceny of more than $200 but less than $1,000.
Morris was charged with felony larceny counts after a Jan. 9 theft of Tramadol.
The case was handled by prosecutors from Cass County following a request by the state attorney general's office. Monday's decision came in Van Buren County Circuit Court.
St. Joseph County Sheriff Brad Balk said Morris, a 12-year veteran, had tendered his resignation to the department.

I'd like a nice proof of the following fact.
Let $C$ and $D$ be categories, and let $\mathbf{Cat}/(C\times D)$ be the usual (1-categorical) slice category whose objects are triples $(X,F\colon X\to C, G\colon X\to D)$, $$C\xleftarrow{F}X\xrightarrow{G}D,$$ and whose morphisms are honest commuting triangles. That is, $$\mathrm{Hom}((X,F,G),(X',F',G'))=\{f\colon X\to X' \mid F'\circ f=F, G'\circ f=G\}.$$
Given $(X,F,G)$ as above, let $F^{\ast}\colon \mathbf{Set}^C\to \mathbf{Set}^X$ be the pullback functor and let $F_{\ast}$ be its right adjoint; similarly for $G$. Given a $C$-set $\delta\colon C\to \mathbf{Set}$, we will be interested in the continuous (polynomial-like) operation of moving it over to a $D$-set as $G_{\ast}F^{\ast}\delta$.
At this point we collect everything in sight into a functor, which might be called the evaluation functor $$K\colon (\mathbf{Cat}/(C\times D))^{op}\times \mathbf{Set}^C\to \mathbf{Set}^D$$ defined on objects as $$K((X,F,G),\delta):= G_{\ast}F^{\ast}\delta.$$
I want to show that $K$ preserves limits. I have convinced myself that this should work using a very low-level argument, but I am looking for efficient avenues by which to think about this, rather than small-minded plug and chug. A reference would be greatly appreciated. (Similarly, it seems true that the evaluation functor $L\colon (\mathbf{Cat}/(C\times D))\times \mathbf{Set}^C\to \mathbf{Set}^D\ $ given by $L((X,F,G),\delta)=G_!F^*\delta\ $ preserves colimits.)
I'd also be happy with an analogous theorem about polynomial functors in a locally cartesian closed category.

(CNN) -- An anti-jihad ad that has caused a stir in other cities now has another destination for its message: the subways of Washington.
The ad by the American Freedom Defense Initiative states, "In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad."
Jihad - Arabic for "struggle" - is considered a religious duty for Muslims, although there are both benign and militant interpretations of what it means.
Last month, the American Freedom Defense Initiative posted the ads in the subways of New York and San Francisco.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations posted a response ad that reads, "Help stop bigotry against our Muslim neighbors." Another one reads, "Support peace in word and deed."
And the council is ready to try to counter the new ads in the nation's capital.
The ads were initially blocked, but on Friday, U.S. District Judge Mary Collyer ruled that the D.C. transit system must allow the advertisements because of free speech rights guaranteed by the First Amendment.
"We don't think it's controversial," said Pamela Geller, the executive director of the American Freedom Defense Initiative. "It's truth. Telling the truth now is equated with 'hate' and 'bigotry' in an attempt to silence and demonize the truth-tellers. That makes my ads all the more important."
According to Geller, the American Freedom Defense Initiative ads have two missions: "to affirm the truth about the barbaric jihad against free people" and to affirm free speech.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations, which is working with the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee and Jewish Voice for Peace, knows it can't get the ads removed. Instead, the groups want the D.C. transit officials to help reduce the negative impact of the posters.
"With respect to your response in this matter, it is not our desire that (the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority) disallow advertisements that contain any political speech," the Council on American-Islamic Relations said in a statement. "I do believe there are measures WMATA can take to mitigate the affect hate speech has on the community."
These measures include working with organizations representing affected Muslim and Arab communities, placing disclaimers to show that the transit authority does not support the views of the ads, and providing free space for advertisements focused on promoting, understanding and tolerance, the Islamic group says.
More than likely, the free ad space will be used for the Council on American-Islamic Relations' ads against the American Freedom Defense Initiative's message.
"The counter-ads are fine from a free speech standpoint," Geller said. "But where were these groups countering 'hate' when the Fogel family was murdered in Israel? Or when the Chabad house was targeted for a bloody jihad attack in Mumbai? Or when Christians are persecuted on an increasingly frequent and violent basis in Egypt, Pakistan, Indonesia and elsewhere?"
Just like the Washington transit authority, the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority had to display the American Freedom Defense Initiative ads because of a court ruling, despite refusing to allow the ads a year ago.
Although the ads cannot be removed, the executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Muneer Awad, hopes the MTA will also help reduce the effect of the ads in the city.
"We're trying to make sure MTA has policies to discourage hate speech," Awad said. "These hate ads are part of a larger problem."
The MTA is considering amending its advertising policies to prohibit all noncommercial advertisements, spokesman Aaron Donovan said.
"If they countenance the outlawing of my ads, they should be careful: One day, they may wish to say something that offends the political or media elites, and they'll wish they had stuck up for my freedom of speech," Geller said.

All students will sign the following pledge at the time they formally accept admission to the College. Students who have not signed the pledge will not be allowed to register for classes.
By my signature below, I affirm on my honor that I will abstain from dishonesty in all academic work. I have read and understood the Honor Code and the Constitution of the Honor Court, and I will abide by their provisions. I understand that if I suspect or witness violations of the Honor Code, I am obligated to respond by taking appropriate action. For example, I may report the suspected dishonesty to the instructor in the course, to the chair of the Honor Court, or to the dean of students; I may request that an instructor proctor an exam if I believe cheating is occurring; or I may talk to a student who I believe may be violating the Honor Code.
Any form of academic dishonesty is a serious offense in an academic community. At Hamilton such dishonesty will often result in removal from the course, assignment of an XF for the course, or separation from the College community, or some combination of these. It is essential, therefore, that every student understands the standards of academic honesty and how to avoid dishonesty by proper acknowledgment of intellectual indebtedness. The Honor Court will not excuse a lack of awareness or understanding of what constitutes academic dishonesty. Any attempt to commit any of the following infractions also constitutes academic dishonesty. Academic dishonesty includes but is not limited to:
Aside from refraining from all forms of academic dishonesty, Hamilton students are expected to take proactive steps to support the Honor Code and to respond to incidents of academic dishonesty. Such steps may include:

I am in Ontario and I want to run computer networking wire from the basement to the second floor. The most direct route is inside the box that carries the furnace exhaust to the chimney on the roof. The wire would be outside the metal furnace exhaust but inside the wooden box that contains the metal pipe.
Any chance of running it outside the wooden box? In my old house, there was a small gap down they one side that I was able to push a metal fish tape down all the way to the basement.
I don't know about the construction of your house. Mine is mostly double brick, so I could just drop cables between the two skins. For the new parts of my house, I tied the ethernet cables onto other cables and pulled then up through the wall cavities. This sounds a lot safer than what you are looking at.
Ethernet is rated at 100m length so the most direct route may not be necessary.

Are the SSDs used by Apple high in quality in terms of Speed and longevity (which is a particular issue with SSD). If not would you recommend buying a separate SSD and installing it after purchasing a mac?
Apple uses a mix of Toshiba and Samsung SSDs in the current lineup of Macs (pre-2011 they used Toshiba only). Neither are the fastest drives around, but they're still pretty speedy, and in most day-to-day cases you wouldn't notice the difference between a Toshiba or Samsung and the fastest Sandforce, Intel or Crucial/Micron drive. The reason for this is that almost all SSDs are so much faster than a traditional hard drive that the relative difference in SSDs is fairly small.
The Toshiba and Samsung drives are both respectable performers but trade that extra x% that differentiates the top performers for better reliability. From Apple's perspective it's a pretty smart trade, as the perceived performance in 95% of cases is still great, and the long term customer satisfaction is more important. For more specifics see the SSD section of Anandtech's 2011 MacBook Air review.
As to whether you should get a 3rd party drive or an Apple one, here's my advice:
I dont know the exact drives Apple uses, but I would say that when buying an SSD, its good to take a look at what Jeff Atwood had to say on the hot/crazy scale: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2011/05/the-hot-crazy-solid-state-drive-scale.html
I've a MacBook Pro and I've updated the disk to a OCZ Velocity 3.
Pro: faster and cheaper than the Apple SSD disk, insanely fast compared to the original disk
Cons: installation is always a problem (one of the screws that keep the bottom lid closed not do not fit properly and it's a little "outside", I've tried to refit it more and more times but nothing changed), sometimes computer freezes and it seems it could be a problem in the SSD firmware, support of SSD functionalities from OSX Lion needs to be tuned by hand.
So the speed of the SSD it's in the "insanely fast" range described by Jeff Atwood (and every time I boot the notebook I use at work with a regular disk I want to cry because of its slow 7200 rpm disk!) and I will never buy another notebook without SSD disk.
If I have a MacBook to update then I do not know, I'm quite happy with the upgrade (having done it myself) but maybe having the replacement done with Apple parts in a Apple store could be a good idea (if they do it, I don't know).
Consider also that almost all SSD drives on the market are designed and supported mainly on Windows, OSX and Macs are often not considered (i.e.: to update the firmware of my OCZ drive no OSX tool is available, I need to boot using Windows or a Linux live CD).
Regards Massimo
I upgraded an older MacBook Pro with an OWC SSD a year ago and it was an incredible upgrade:
When I bought a new MacBook Pro I decided to fork over some serious money and buy Apple's SSD as a stock item rather than do the upgrade myself because the price of the SSD from Apple and the one from OWC is about the same.
These MacBook Pros are my only computers and they get a lot of use, in all types of situations and I can honestly say that not only have I had no problems with either SSD (OWC or Apple) but the move from HD to SSD is the best speed boost for a computer you can make. it's incredible.
I routinely buy AppleCare for my computers and if this Apple SSD fails or slows down they'll replace it in a flash (so to speak). I also back up daily with both SuperDuper! and Time Machine so failure of my main drive isn't as much of a worry as it might be for some.
I think there's been a lot written about SSDs that scares people but I've experienced none of it and I won't buy a MacBook Pro without an internal SSD, the quiet, the lack of vibration, the almost immediate boot time, launching and quitting applications very fast and more is incredible.
Solid state is the way to go for at least the system and your main applications if not your entire computer.
