Would be helpful to know which products you see this replacing (as you mention in your copy that you see it replacing several products costing over $200 combined).
Any idea on the number of attendees? i.e. is this expected to be just a very small local meetup? Interested but would need to make extensive travel arrangements asap.
I'm surprised Malta hasn't been discussed (tiny island in the mediterranean, just south of Sicily). I arrived here 5 years ago thinking it would be a paradise (its not). Below are my generalisations:
Upside = Best weather in Europe, English speaking, 100Mb/s fiber, cheap ryanair flights to most of Europe, cheap rent compared to Northern Europe - luxury 3 bed flat around 800 Euro.
Downside = Extremely conservative and religious state run by the church (abortion is illegal even if mothers life is at risk - WTF). 10 year prison sentences for possession of Marijauana. Extremely narrow minded people. Ugly, very dry, dirty polluted beaches, lots of rock and very little green. Very poor standard of food at restaurants and even supermarkets.
I'm leaving for the Netherlands, can't wait!
Primarily because I want to move to OSX and I'm looking for something more portable than the beastly W500 (+- 30% heavier than rMBP)
Just remember that with the lower end dedicated servers you are dealing with desktop class hardware. With the last server I received from them one of the HD's in a raid1 was dead and although they replaced it quickly I was required to reconfigure it wasting quite a bit of time.
Actually no, the tiny island of Malta where i'm currently stationed has only recently seen it's first retail Apple store (not official Apple store) and they lock the laptops down for security reasons such that you cannot pick them up to test how they feel and weigh in the hand. Crazy, I know.
Because the W500 doesn't support more than 8GB ram and uses the old Sata 3Gb/s interface which I believe would be a bottleneck with the latest SSD's.
During what activities do you miss processor power on the Air? or is it just a general lack of responsiveness when booting, opening apps etc. and what is your processor?
No, the W500 is limited to 8GB. The W510 can take 16GB and the W520+ 32GB
Thanks, I don't do any gaming but I would like the ability for multiple monitors. This article suggest that the latest 2012 models do support 2 external displays - http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/06/new-macbooks-can-manage...
Thanks, I already have the server capacity available and paid for so I wouldn't incur any additional cost. You may be right about that resolution though, I've never seen it. Thanks for the advice.
Thanks prody, thats really helpful. I've also got an awful habit of consuming media content on my laptop whilst lying back in bed and on the sofa etc. Do you ever do this and find the 15" cumbersome or heavy in these situations?
Thanks, I remember that article too. For Windows development it wouldn't work well but I do envy that battery life!
Pinging my existing Hetzner servers is around 45ms which is acceptable latency for me. Reliability from Hetzner hasn't been great for our servers but for what I need it for it is reliable enough.
We recently provisioned a new 32GB server from Hetzer. The server was delivered with only one of the two raid1 drives working. When I complained they said it would take a few hours to replace and then it was up to me to figure out how to rebuild the 2nd drive as part of the array. All I expected was a working server from the start, anything that went wrong after that I would have been happy to resolve myself. Very poor service, we've already moved to uk2.net. Also don't forget that Hetzner uses desktop class hardware in most of their servers.
I'm getting a 'Error 503 Service Unavailable'
I'd like to see some more upfront differentiating factors between this and asana, producteev, podio etc.
No pricing, no interested.
Buying up second hand books in bulk (think 5k+) and selling them individually on the Amazon marketplace. Incredible markups. Need lots of storage space though.
He forgot good ole Directory Opus!
I agree, its a pain point and will loose you signups. Swallow the bullet and implement a simple pricing scheme.
FWIW, I'd have paid $50 p.a, I don't have many notifications setup but those that I do are important enough to actually prefer to pay for the service. Thanks team Notifo!
Anyone know of anything similar that works with Android?
