Magnesium is seldom used in its' pure form. It is almost always used as an alloy (mixed with other metals). It can be very brittle, or even soft, depending on how the alloy is crafted. If you have ever seen a picture of an airplane landing and the wheel is on fire, airplane wheel components are often made with magnesium. Magnesium fires are very dangerous to put out. Directly spraying water on burning magnesium usually will result in an explosion. However, starting fire to magnesium is much harder than some here have suggested.
As for cost, magnesium is more expensive than commercial grade aluminum. However, it is a very good metal to CAST. So, you can cast a part in magnesium that requires very little finish machining, as opposed to other material that are formed by bending sheet metal, or machining it from solid stock.
Finally, phosphorous is a magnesium product, or a very similar substance (do not remember exactly) which we are all familiar with. It is used in sparklers, road flares, smoke bombs (grenades), etc. It is unusual in that it produces its� own oxygen when burning. That is why it can be immersed in water and still burn. The heat is too extreme for the water to cool it and the water cannot smother it because it does not require air.

Um, so my girlfriend and I have both have the iPhone 3G. We have the same tracking issue by virtue of being on iOS 4.x - but at the current highest OS level for this model, 4.2.1, we don't get a "fix?"
Agreed - what about iPhone 3G users, the sorry lot of us that still exist.

Go to Dell's page, I just customized one of their PowerEdge 2950's to be EXACTLY the same as the Xserve (except for the OS) and here's the diff:
You forgot the processors. the XServe had 2.0GHz chips, the Dell has the 3.00.
Even so, the XServe with 2x3.00GHz Xeon 5160 chips is only $4,798, and as you said has a graphics card, faster RAM, and also has larger DIMMs so more slots are still open.

yes.
you guys keep in mind that ONLY FCP is 299. I think Final Cut Pro STUDIO will be around 500-600 Dollar. Still a "Pro-User" pricing so to speak. So most Pro's will go for the suite anyway. I think it's great that Apple is selling the programm itself for this price. It keeps Final Cut Pro alive and I hope that it will be updated more frequently because hopefully more people will use it.
So, are the days of "buy the full version/suit once - get a upgrade for 1/3 of the price with your license" over?? You have to buy the bits and pieces of the FC Suit seperately from release to release - although a bit cheaper - but far from the good deal the upgrades used to be...??

I think that ms. verizon and ms.google have done paid off ms. consumer reports to give a bad rating. Convient timing for the droid x release, uh humm. I would like to find someone with a legitimate problem. Blackberry's, nokia's, etc all do the same, so they should have bad rattings too.
Yes, for other phones to succeed, the iPhone needs to fail. I took off my bumper in protest to the haters. Never have a problem and the phone works perfectly without having to change how I hold the phone. It is perfect.

In addition, did yall get anything back in the mail yet from them? Are we supposed too?
It depends. If you register before a cutoff deadline, they mail you the badge. Otherwise you need to pick it up at the Expo.

...and hope springs eternal. But I think this is a pipe dream. Apple is already breaking with tradition (if, in fact, the "no hardware at WWDC" rumor is true). And then there are those pesky "Apple has not yet ordered the parts for the iPhone 5" rumors that (if true) scream "delay."
The problem for Apple here is that they're gonna have to release something that matches or exceeds the multiple Android devices that are scheduled for release this year. I'm an iOS guy, and I love iPhones, but c'mon--the new Samsung Galaxy S2 is a sweet looking phone. And the Thunderbolt is killing at Verizon right now (or so I hear).
Apple has always risen to the challenge, and I look forward to their offering this year.
If I don't upgrade to an Android phone first. ;)

I'd recommend setting a time later in the afternoon, say 3:00 PM each day of the show. I know this is when my dogs are usually getting pretty tired and I'm looking for a sit-down.
There are four semi-circular seating areas on the ground level of South Hall, at the top of the escalators. I say just pick one, and a time, and see who shows up.

For you it turned out fine... That time... If you are asked to give it up, be reasonable and ask if you may retrieve it at the end of the day. If you put up a fight they may think you are up to something and it can get worse. The OP stated he did nothing wrong, so just give it up until the end of the day and then simply take it home. Pick your battles wisely. If you want to change that policy, do it the right way.
No way would I ever give up my iPhone to a school, a government run public school. I don't trust them at all, that's why I didn't give it up. Before I were to give it up I'd notice everyone in the room, I already have down all my iPhones information like serial number and that, then wipe the device either real quick or use MobileMe immediately after. I don't trust a school with all the information I have on my iPhone.

yeah whats the real difference between magnesium and aluminum?
Right now aluminum prices have skyrocketed. I've heard stories of people stealing aluminum irrigation pipes down south (the thieves turn around and sell the AL).

Getting tired of these incessant 660mb downloads.
But I finally figured out how Apple gets you to keep updating... they always promise a battery fix along with the other crap you really don't care about. By now I should be running for 30 days on a single charge.

I understand where you're coming from, but from what some other users are saying, the temperatures are actually the same. Someone mentioned that there was a bug with the CD processors that reported the temperatures incorrectly. So I guess this means your computer is running at the same temperature as before, but the reporting is now more accurate (as 10-20 degrees hotter). Unless, of course, people are noticing an increase in temperature by touch. That's a little different...
hmmm, this could be true. But, personally I've never bothered to look at my temperatures, so a firmware fix to fix this doesn't really affect me. Firmwares can be great, but also be wonky. So right now my machine is running how I want it to so taking that risk doesn't seem worth it for some "more accurate" temperature reporting.

but what is there to get excited about? spotlight (which is rarely used) is faster...wooo... running windows easier...great, not really an upgrade to the mac os, though...
i'm going to assume we're gonna get these things, but there will almost certainly be some big features that we haven't thought of yet.
I use spotlight a lot. I wish had more "power" (or pro?) features, tho. I also wish it were faster on my G4.

Of course it was a domestic dispute.
But regardless of whether it was a domestic dispute or not, let's consider it generically: two people are involved in a fight. Perhaps it's physical, perhaps it's not, but they're fighting. One person has enough and decides to leave. Why in the WORLD would the other person go after him/her?Again, this is the point: you do not know. You are prejudging her, when the natural assumption of guilt would lie with the driver.

Wow, I just found about passkeys and bigadvs. I never realized that they were tied to your passkey until today when I was skimming some other forums and wondering why my 12 core box wasn't reeling in tons and tons of points.
Get crankin' out those WUs with a passkey now! :D Run standard units (they are much quicker) with a passkey until you meet the 10 WU requirement for bonus points. After you start getting the bonus, run Bigadvs. Bigadvs are only on Windows for now, is your 12 core machine a PC?
What is your F@H username?
