Can anyone explain why that happens?
Also, out of interest, at what line do the other spreadsheets go nutty?
The short answer is: accumulation of rounding errors.
It's obviously a bit sad that the internal algorithms of spreadsheets can't even get such simple calculations as the ones in the above examples truly right.
But the underlying problem is that they are basically ignorant of the underlying maths. They do not understand that a whole number multiplied by 0.2 can never result in a number with more than one digit after the decimal point.
For reliable number-cracking you need something like Mathematica (this is not meant to be an ad, although I happily confess that I saw this Excel stunt being performed by a guy named Wolfram).
UPDATE: I just checked the spreadsheet functionality of Pages. It's no better than its competitors.
The same thing also happens if you use numbers of the type 'float' in many programming languages.
The above-mentioned example in PHP:
$j=0.2;
for($i=1; $i < 30; $i++) {

I wonder if we started pooling some money together as a bounty for the first team to jailbreak it, if it would motivate more people to work on it. I wouldn't mind throwing in $20-30.
Either way I know I'm going to donate some to whatever team puts their release out first, it's really cool that these guys put in all their free time to do things like this. I can't wait to play some snes games with the wii classic controller pro on my iPad :D
I hope superbrothers sword and sorcery is good, I just bought it and I'm hoping it's as good as everyone says it is.
Don't think the people that do this, do it for money. Think they do it for the fact they can do it. That is why I think the jbs are always free.

Is it unlocked? If so I'm interested...

I don't know if there is a way to directly get wired ethernet connection on to your iPad. I think probably not. But, one pricey solution is this:
Buy an Apple AirPort Express, a very small wifi router about the size of your palm. It will plug into the wired ethernet and broadcast wifi signal.
+1 - This would be about the same price as paying for 3 months of 3G service, so it will balance out in the long run :-) HERE (http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MB321LL-A-Airport-Express/dp/B0015YJOK2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1303226759&sr=8-1) is the Amazon link..$94 free shipping.

although it seems to me that in other threads, the extra-wide posts don't stretch the others with them, but rather expand independently... yes? no?

I got back to my fraternity house after my morning class just before the plane hit the second tower. There was a lot of confusion - 25 people crowded around the TV, trying to figure out what was going on. All anyone knew was that one of the WTC Towers was smoldering. And as we watched, the second plane hit.
I go to school in upstate NY, so there were a lot of frantic phone calls that went unreturned over the next minutes and hours. Some eventually got through. Some were never returned.

Wow, I must say that it caught me by surprise when I opened Safari and got hit with the new page design like a freight train. I guess I didn't realize how used to the older style I was, but it is on its way to looking like a more modern and freshened design.

Just out of curiosity, what do you want a new Cinema Display for, exactly, that the current ones aren't doing?
i'd like thinner ones. and more connections.

I'm freakin sick of the ITMS. :mad:
I love iTunes and my iPod, but purchasing music that can only be put on an iPod is crap. There may be a better player out later which I want to go to and then *poof* my ITMS purchased tracks are crap.

It's (significantly) cheaper.
It's better.
'Nuff said.
Its also illegal in our country.
You've definitely said enough.

I've had account on here forever but only browse much, I was wondering if any of you have seen this before. It was given to me by a swiss friend who didn't really want the sign anymore.
I am thinking about selling it, only thing is the display looks as if it was made for european outlets and when I was given this he said that the bulb would need to be replaced. I've never really seen anything like this before either, since I would guess that the sign was before the Apple retail store days. I am not sure if I am allowed to ask but how much would something like this even go for?

I have a Mac+ still and there is no way I would sell it. I have sold a Mac IIvx and a G4 Quick Sliver but that was for Money to buy the next Mac (currently a G5 iMac). I gave my Rev-A iMac to a girl I dating at the time.... but I think that was because of her WoW factor.

I don't know if it's MR or not. The admins need the URL and a screenshot. If it is from MR, the admins can contact the ad service and have it removed.
From the FAQ: What do I do about annoying ads (http://guides.macrumors.com/Help:MacRumors_FAQ#What_do_I_do_about_annoying_ads.3F).
it was on the page right below the sony camera article. but i haven't seen it since so its fine. but if i do see it i will take a screenshot and send it to the admins.

I think that's a much more likely possibility. It's smart to patent anything you invent, even if you have no intention of using it for anything.
I agree with you 100% remember ipod mini in the laptop thing, also side lighting on the macs etc..... there are hundreds and hundreds of unused apple patents

If you've see the keynote stream, then you'll of come across the part where Steve asked some of his employees (marketing, engineer etc..) to stand up and receive a round of applause.
I thought this was quite a nice gesture and it's the first time I have seen this from them.
Good things!! :claps:
I think he does that in just about every keynote. Still a nice thing to do though :)

Great News. I stay cautiously optimistic since he said "finishing", so that would seem to imply that they have a working exploit, it's just a matter of packaging.
Any idea if this is the same exploit as comex was using? and if it's a tethered or untethered jb?
Since he mentioned i0n1c's exploit, I would assume it will be an untethered jb for 4.3.1. Sorry bella. We're speculating :)
