  1. i think the director is gonna end up making vince look great in the smoke jumpers jump off. Or, he could just be being a dick to stir up some emotion in vince.

    yeah, the stubbornness is vaguely reminiscent of billy walsh and queen's boulevard, although vince and billy were on the same page most of the time. its also fairly interesting seeing vince have to actually work at acting (or anything, really). lays base for some possible good episodes to come.

  2. I swear I saw something on 2+2 referring to a post by D Neg's on his website about how the pros wanted it to happen, but the network didn't want to continue it. Most of these guys play against one another in the big game anyway, and I think that their egos would want nothing more than to beat down another pro on TV. I mean, why do Ivey & Patrick Antonious play against one another head's up, but for their own ego?

    Yeah, this is basically true. HSP just didn't have a sustainable enough market anymore, or at least the network didn't think they did. The HSP games were generally really, really soft with guys like Eli and Hellmuth playing. Jman's account of his HSP experience was pretty hilarious and disheartening at the same time. He got bumped for being too big a nit.

    More importantly, let's talk about how big a failure the decision to bump the final table was. It was solely so ESPN could market it as a big reality event, and they pretty much failed in successfully getting the word out. I was pretty ambivalent about the whole idea, but now that ESPN has done a fairly poor job in marketing it I definitely disagree with it.

    That said, I'm pulling for Demidov/Phillips. I'm avoiding any coverage so I can watch it "live" tomorrow night. I really wish Raptor would have made the final table so I would have had somebody to really pull for. :rolleyes: Thanks Cantu!

  3. i upgraded to 2gb ram (big difference, i would put more but 2gb is max on macbooks)

    3 gigs is actually the max for Macbooks. A bit cost ineffective, however.

  4. RAM is quite cheap nowaday, extra ram on a mac is never a waste of money.

    QFT. I also have the basic white Macbook, and adding another gig of ram certainly helped quite a bit. I don't do much work on mine that requires the extra memory, but I tend to have many things open at once (Ableton, Firefox/Safari, Unison, iTunes) and it all starts to add up pretty quickly!

  5. Leopard is most certainly much snappier than previous OS's. It's likely just the overuse and idiotic general public causing the hiccups on the Apple Store display models.

  6. One quick question:

    In the IA store, Toshiro Straight Leg Raws have "Deep Indigo denim" and Toshiro Skinny Raws have "Brown denim" There seems to be a slight difference in the color of the denims, but the skinny sure doesn't look "brown" to me. Was this is a mistake or are the skinny's truly brown and the straight's deep indigo?

    Looking to get a pair of one or the other in the next few days, and trying to make a decision between the two. Thanks! :D
