Has anyone heard from or seen JPI since last May? I hope he's OK.

Discuss.
I'm still gonna wait a couple of years to get it and the guitar though, so the price comes down.
It's better than a 9.

Not as good as an 11 though.

I saw that one coming...
It was an old one as well, had it imported from the States when the iPhone just came out. So much sentimental value... I guess I'll just wait for number 5 to be released.
Happy Thanksgiving in 2 days, I'm thankful for all my regs in the friend lounge!
Wait...
Just bought an iMac, pretty impressive, never used one much before.
Hey guys whats up!
Kinda off all topics, but I need help!
"Alright, so I'm making a music video, to a song named Animus Vox by The Glitch Mob. Basically, its an epic chase between a boy and his enemies. You know how in the movie Home Alone, the boy is always a step ahead of the robbers. Well, that's the concept of this video.
Except its an epic chase. This one boy is basically running from a group of kids and making the group of kids suffer along the way. I started making the video 1 week ago, we got through filming the intro and ending sequence. But when we were going to do the chase, we didn't like our ideas.
Our ideas were things like sabotaging things, throwing marbles while running, simple stuff. But we wanted something that would make the viewer be like "Woah, that's a smart kid". And none of our ideas really did that.
So I'm asking you to help us out, if your idea does get used, your Newground's account or website will be annotated in the video."

Err, I suppose you could have all sorts of elaborate traps already put in place by the kid, as though he either predicted the chase or has been spending so much time in the area that he has booby trapped everything anyway.
Other than that, some of the best displays of intelligence are shown by using other people, mere onlookers, in your plans - a relatively common example is throwing money in front of a homeless person in order to make them bend down to pick the coins up, and so trip up those in pursuit; though you may also be able to do something like make the boy give a rose to a girl while running by, making her walk out to get a look at the boy, hence getting her into the way of the robbers.
Another thing I suppose you could do to show intelligence is making the boy successfully avoid natural hazards in clever ways, like cutting a clothesline and using it to swing across a gap (though, perhaps something a little less cliché).
Making the boy invest in more long-term plans will also appear impressive. If the boy doubles back at all (an impressive double back could also be used to make the boy appear clever), perhaps having him do something earlier on that slows down his pursuers later would be wise. Creating a traffic jam or marking a tree for cutting down by the local lumberjacks (it's really hard to give strong examples without sense of location or timeframe!), for example, or combining this idea with the previous so that the boy actually sets up ways for him to get back across obstacles, like dropping a rope down a building earlier on which he later uses to climb back up.
If he doesn't double back, doing this is probably much harder, but may still be possible. Cutting into a large vehicle's fuel tank at one point could result in the vehicle becoming stuck on a later stretch of road, causing a traffic jam which the boy slides under or something. Or, he may annoy a person who gets into their car to give chase, appearing later on as the boy reaches a dead end, but the boy simply jumps on top of the car and over the wall previously blocking the path. Or something with animals - everyone likes animals.
My final suggestion would probably be making the boy use the robber's weapons in his plans. If the robbers hurl something at him, have him use it to his advantage!
I know several of those ideas are rather 'meh', but I do hope you find at least one thing you like the sound of. Best of luck!

i really like lots of your ideas. Especially the one with when he uses the robbers weapons. Much thanks to you, we're now a step closer to finishing this music video.

Ah, cool. I was afraid they would appear rather stupid, especially with how poorly I described them.
Best of luck with the video!

My iMac overheated after 20 minutes of use, so I had to get a replacement. After getting the replacement everything has worked like charm.

Ditto.
Yes, Macs aren't AT ALL the panacea to technological issues that Apple suggests. And both OSs have their advantages. Why can't we all just get along?
It's like the new Sega vs Nintendo. :-(

The thing that truly shows which one is better, is that mac osx can support a windows OS, but windows cannot support OSX from what I know. So mac users can get the advantages of both operating systems, if need be. I contacted apple support about the screen problem, they didn't ask any questions, 22 hours after the phone call I had a new iMac. Great customer service, not sure if shadowii2 had this experience as well?
What's the thoughts of OSX Lion?

I'm not sold on it yet. It might make it easier to get apps, but I really don't want to have to wait for an app I make to be submitted.
I not sure if I like what it is doing to the way we use computers or not.

You've got that the wrong way round in your explanation.
OS X doesn't "support" Windows, it's just the intel hardware now used in new Macs is compatible with Windows. OS X is extremely picky about what hardware it will run with, and even then you'd need a hacked version which is actually illegal thanks to Apples terms of use. OS X is actually worse off here in terms of users, as Apple constrict what machines is can run on, while Windows, as long as the hardware is compatible, will happily run.
All in all though, I've had no problems with my Macbook, but if I were the one spending the money I wouldn't buy one. Thanks ma und pa.
I do prefer PCs more than Macs, and may go out of my way to say that I HATE them, but they're OK.
It's just that I've had bad experiences with them, and they don't do what I want them to do.

that's interesting, I didn't know about the intel based systems, I know there is a lot of difference between the PPC and Intel systems. But it is still possible to have windows on a mac system. BTW would bootcamp or parallels be better? I don't have Win 7 yet but need it for 3DS Max.
To keep on topic, Flash might be better on a mac, I don't have any evidence, but comparing IE9 to Safari 5, the OS's default browsers, I can only assume Safari 5 is better.

I've got bootcamp, it's pretty good as I've got a PC and a Mac one device. The only downside is that if I want to switch OS I need to restart my laptop. I'm not too familiar with parallels so I don't know what the draw backs with it are.
