I've never been to an Apple launch day before and have no idea of when I should get there. I'd like to wait in line but still have to work tomorrow morning. When is a good time to start waiting?
I am Meeting Ben Now to pitch a tent, He said 3 People in line at this time, So as soon as you can.

The simple answer is dont use photoshop Im afraid! It does a really poor job of consistent spacing and cornering.
You'd be far better using illustrator for this, or InDesign/QuarkXPress will manage clean and precise dotted/dashed lines too.
If you don't have access to those, and you must use PS, the only options you have is to play with the spacing under "Brush Tip Shape" in the big Brushes Palette, and you could also tweak the Angle Jitter setting under Shape Dynamics.
"Direction" will cause the orientation of the brushtip shape to follow the direction of the line you'rre drawing or the path you're stroking.
Good luck!

my ibook still thinks that the earphones are plugged in, and therefore it won't use it's built in speakers even when i unplug the line of the earphones. i check the system preferences, and it's options are only: "headphones: built in audio." this is annoying!

I don't think this is the way to get music recommended. You really want to trawl through my collection of 14,000 songs? On top of that, other user's libraries as well?!
Either you have too much free time, or you'll realize how pointless this is.
I will just mention artists who I'd recommend - John Mayer, Newton Faulkner, Damien Rice (if you like acoustic), Joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert (instrumental rock), Deadmau5, The Prodigy (electro/dance), Pete Rock, CL Smooth, LL Cool J, Jedi Mind Tricks (Hip-hop/Rap), and some Ministry of Sound Chilled albums if you wanna relax.

As evidence that some rich people didn't earn their wealth, you just referenced Enron that went bankrupt, Madoff who went to prison, and the Banks who we bailed out... and would have otherwise gone bankrupt. So, essentially three examples where the free market either did or would have (without government intervention) correctly punished bad businesses. Odd choice.
Not really. I consider them vastly underpunished. Do you honestly think that all of the wealth that they stole went back where it belonged? How many friends, relatives, smaller investors and purveyors of luxury goods and services recieved a windfall from these criminals? The crime cannot be undone. They spread their ill-gotten gains around for some time and much of it cannot be recovered. Justice is only partially done at best.
Hardly. All I'm trying to do is better understand your position. You seem to take the position that the majority or mob rule can decide how much money to take from one person without inflicting the same on another person... in effect choosing winners and losers. Furthermore, you seem to not put any limit on this position so it would seem that you feel the majority has the right/ability to take as much money from 'the rich' as they choose to as long as they do it with a majority in the democratic process. This would imply that you don't think that the person who actually earned the wealth has any sort of moral or legal claim on the wealth. Please enlighten me as to where I am going astray in describing your position.
You love those loaded terms. If taxation is "mob rule", then we've been living under it since the 18th century. As far as "choosing" winners and losers, you seem fine with letting your vaunted "free market" do it; I happen to think that such a process is unjust if unalloyed with further means to prevent excess. The mere fact that a person makes a living and then some from the "free market" does not necessarily make them a legitimate "winner" with the strongest moral claim to all of their wealth. In fact, if you agree with the concept of taxation you already agree with this principle. Your "right" to anything is predicated on your ability to protect it, whether that be through legal processes, or through coercive force. Nothing in "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" specifically states that the top 1% of this nation ought own 50% of the wealth.
You are ignoring my point about how small cabals of wealthy and powerful people pay lip service to democracy and then do whatever they want - how is this somehow less of an injustice than the rest of us raising taxes on your beloved billionaires? Especially when you aren't one of them?
Finally, just because you have a legal or moral claim to wealth or property does not mean that you are the only person with a claim, or that your claim is the strongest. All Americans have a very strong moral and legal claim to being able to earn a living - but as wealth increases the moral claim weakens, to the point that the wealthiest people maintain much of their wealth not through any moral right but simply through their own ability to hang on to it. Your first dollar is very much yours - but your ten millionth is up for some debate.

QuickTime now 64-bit!!!
Even more of a reason to get the new MBP:D
Hmm, I wonder what the point of 64bit quicktime is. The notes did say that 64 bit mode has more registers available... that doesn't necessarily mean speed improvement if quicktime is moving a lot of data around (which it is).
But I guess everything is slowly going to move towards 64 bit.

I am having a devil of a time getting deinterlaced output from FCE 4. I definitely want DI movie files because the delivery target is always going to be a computer, never a TV.
My source clips are 1080 60i, from a Sony camera. I can import them into FCE OK and arrange them on a timeline.
I have tried turning on deinterlacing every single place I see it, but playing the exported mov always shows really ugly interlacing artifacts.
Attempt 1: I have tried adding the DI filter to each clip in the Browser, rendering, and exporting the sequence as a self contained quicktime movie. No luck. But if I export the clip to a mov (by right-clicking it in the Browser and choosing Export/Quicktime Movie) THAT mov looks fine and clearly has deinterlacing applied.
Attempt 2: I have tried exporting the project "Using Quicktime Conversion" and turning on the DI checkbox in the Size options... No luck.
There is surely SOMETHING I am doing wrong but I can't figure it out.
I looked in to the JES deinterlacer but it won't work on MTS files, plus FCE won't even let you import MTS files from the desktop... they have to be right out of the camera, which seems daffy to me.
I would be super appreciative of any tips. This is the second to last problem I need to solve to make this video camera useful. (The next will be figuring out how to get my deinterlaced mov files to Vimeo, which demands mp4 I think.)
I am finding the world of video editing to be about a million times more complex and frustrating than I expected. I'm going back to still photography. ;)
Use MPEG Streamclip;)

Looks good! Only thing I'm not fond of are the bigger avatars (although I will be making mine bigger to fit in), the huge text capabilities (I think this will be abused) and the different colored smilies. But that's just IMHO! ;) The rest of it looks great. Good job!

I like the monitor Mr.Noisy recommended, the Dell 2209wa. People are raving about this monitor and amazon has them in stock. Thanks to all who have contributed! :D
I looked at that monitor on amazon. $599? Are you f@#($ kidding me? DO NOT buy this for $599. It's a fantastic monitor and I own two, but I paid a lot less than $599 for BOTH my monitors. If you're going to spend that kind of money on a screen, pick up a 24-27" wide gamut IPS model instead.
Even the updated U2211H may be a better alternative? It's still IPS, and has the "full HD" 1920x1080 resolution?

I have two photos that the mall employees took of the Easter Bunny and my son. They used the built-in flash and there is a fence shadow on my son's face. It's just on his face, but UGH!
I have Pixelmator 1.6.5, but never use it for lack of knowledge. I take 99.9% of my family's photos and use external flashes when necessary to avoid the problem I have now.
With that said, I can't find any simple tutorials anywhere. Does anyone have a link to share?

Magento is built for Ecommerce. It's bloated like OSC, but there is a big support structure, and it's more modular then OSC for your plugings and themes. We do everything in Magento and Magento Enterprise now.

I'm not sure, if you check around there are some other threads about this topic, you might want to check w/ Dell or Viewsonic too.
Sometimes you hear about blurring issues when people use LCD monitors as TVs, I don't know if it's a refresh rate issue but on my Dad's 19" Sony LCD w/ a PC tv tuner card the image is alright but nothing spectacular.
