you can set it from 30-40MW  (normal strength wireless) to 1Watt

no milliwatts not mega..  fuck at mega wats i would be generating enough heat to have a small steam power station in my yard...  id be contending with mercury energy..

milliWatts = mW

MegaWatts = MW

Sorry, SI units pedant.

all good wasn't really thinking about the unit representation at the time

setup date with a super qt blonde , double happy - new toy may arrive today. 8 Dcell batteries with lots of RAM in my Baldy spot.

So excite!

FIXED

but nice laptop dude.. going to bring it down with you?

I am rocking my Dev and work pc which is Macbook Air Pro with the 650m nvidia chip

MacBook Air.

MacBook Pro.

Not MacBook Air Pro. No such thing exists, nor would it. How silly.

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

I set my wireless to 1.21 GW.

It cooks the neighbours.

[Retardobot]

Mmmmm, laptop is so sexy.

meh, was on about my 6th coffee by then...  been doing 12 hour 4 am starts and 5pm finishes last 3 days in a row...

it is actually a

Macbook Pro Retina 15 Inch
2.5ghz i7
16gb of ram
500gb ssd
and nvidia 760m 2gb video not the 650..


danm nice machine...  and i really do like osx, i a have always been a windows and linux fanboy...  although i hate the way macs store files.. but that my only nit pick.

My laptop is over 5 years old. It has a 2.2ghz dual core processor and 4gbs of rams. The video card is onboard, but the hdd is an SSD and it has a super rude sticking out the front 9 cell battery, giving it life of just under 4 hours.

Pimping.

[CSfaith]

I just wish my laptop was really a lamp.

While we're at it:
GHz = GigaHertz.
ghz = three random letters.

[Codex]

Any Auckland goobers free at 11ish?

[Pyromanik]

Says he's too busy.
Asks if anyone is free.





Codex just hates you Arsey :<

[Xsannz]

Pretty much...... /\ must have finished his Fap early...

As a designer, I fucking love the wild ideas they come up with for liquor bottles.

[Xsannz]

are those bottles in production... I SO WANT A COUPLE

So much wasted volume! They should make them cuboid and dimension them so they fit in a shipping container really nice.

And the label should be white with black "Vodka", preferably in comic sans.

This is the same for all products.

Meanwhile, in shipping, that design runs huge risk of the corners fracturing as the weight is unevenly forced into the corners instead of distributed down a cylindrical shaft.

Shipping costs are irrelevant. I'm guessing those bottles will be at a premium cost (bomb bottles), so whatever is charged, it'll cover erroneous space created in shipping containers that could otherwise be used to pack in more product.

teehee shaft.

Perhaps, though I think manufacturing would be a bigger problem.

Unless you went plastic.

Also the beer in those Heineken cubes looks like engine oil.

[Retardobot]

As soon as you realise that Heineken IS motor oil, the better.

[Pyromanik]

Wholey hell D cell batteries, who actually remembers those? :<
Sweet vodka bottles.
Sweet Heinekin bottles, although Dave is right, they do make the product look like oil.

This just in, a (graphic) designer who knows stuff about physics. That's cool.
It's something one doesn't think about, but probably comes up quite a bit.

Or have you dabbled in product design before Rii?

Remember them?

They're still in common use.

[Pyromanik]

In yo ghetto blaster?

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

yea, need them D batteries so I can blast out my sounds on there streets.

I'm always excited about physics. I really wanted to do it in high school but never had the math scores to pursue it. But I've done packaging design before where structure and strength is important when shipping individual items through the post. Have to make sure they arrive in the same condition they left.
