Salute to all of them

My spectrum is quite wide. I also like the Beatles, Bee Gees, Police, Carpenters, Billy Joel, Bread, Phil Collins, ABBA, Starship, etc.

[rant mode] PakPassion disgusts me. BC is much more polite and respectful. I was reading comments at PP regarding the upcoming series and most of them has condescending tones. There are the regular bashing of our physical stature, skin color, race and other stuff. Cmon people grow up!

They even went as far as to singling out few BC members and making fun of them. I am not trying to ignite any controversies or exaggerating the situation. Those comments were just bothering me for few days! [/rant mode]

Whenever we play someone, I go to opposition team's forums before the series, just to get an idea! Its like the same way Zimslog was with us during the Zim series.

Yes, you are right Roman bhai. At the same time, disturbing comments in BC are very rare. I just thought PP would be as civil as us. But I was wrong.

Yes, he's amazing as well - but I have to agree with Turbo that as Mercury is of Indian origin, there is an intangible connection haha. Dancing in the Dark (and many others) are classics!

Who's he? Do you mean Anthony Kiedis? Kudos for liking Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits. Amazing. I went to a Roger Waters concert back in 2008 and heard him and his band play Pink Floyd classics - jaw dropping. I really wish people nowadays knew Pink Floyd for more than just 'Wish you were here"

I am with you on this one.
How do you rate one's cricket knowledge without knowing that person's cricketing ability. This is more about writing knowledge than cricket. But saying that some of BC-ites does know cricket both practically and theoretically.

So my writing knowledge sux does that mean I know nothing about cricket....Bull......

Disagree. You don't have be good at cricket to have good cricketing knowledge. Or else we won't have coaches, commentators, reporters, writers. You can have good knowledge of the game without the skills.

I don't go there. I have met many decent Pakistanis and many impolite ones. But, without the quality of moderation that we have at BC, the ugly side can come out easily. Also, many Pakistanis have not forgotten the humiliation of 1971. Don't let it bother you.

Bad choice bruh. SSD vs magnetic drive? Pro is nice, but the new Airs are just more appealing and can pretty much pack the same punch in terms of performance.

And no, you can't use the graphics card as an argument. No one buys Macbook pro for gaming. So for daily uses, the Intel hd 3000 is more than enough.

I am very sorry. Micheal from 'INXS' ! Micheal Hutchence who died at the age of 37.

In fact, "The Wall" was one of our most loved songs during undergraduate days.

I didn't buy it for gaming. I have PS3 for that. I got it for school. I'll be taking graphics and media classes soon. Do you think Air can handle all that? Can it handle running multiple big apps at ones. People say it's for light use. But for how light!?

You made the right choice. We have 2 at home. Handles graphics and multimedia with ease. While the Air is sexy and great for road warriors, it wouldn't have served your needs.

That's what everyone telling me. But MBP 15 have the same size RAM (4gb) as MBA 13. So wouldn't it serve my needs? If I run out of space I could get external HD? It's true, the lightweight and look is making me freak out, but can it not handle it at all? If I do change it, I don't wanna be stuck with the wrong thing.

Do you know if MBA has any issues? It suppose to be faster, but one of my friends told me it troubles him with few apps and takes a while to get going. He got it a year ago.

I never heard anyone say "Go with Air over Pro" and I was sold, until I saw the thing with my own eye. I feel guilty. MBA is a whore!

Lol that's where I went to when I bought it. I googled it from the Air!

Let's make things simple. I want it just because it's slick! That's all. Now, I don't how much load exactly I'll be putting on it over the next few years, but let's say moderated, little more than average. Will the Air handle it?

And how long am I suppose to keep a Mac for? I never had one... is it lifetime? 10 years? What's the max year?
