Well, I was dling itunes 8, I decided to spend my time maxing out a mac pro.

Even though 32gigs of ram is over kill, I was surprised at the result: the most expensive computer I've ever seen from a retailer.

Yes, it's a concierge service. They have the same thing for the card level below black, but the best concierges are promoted to black level customers.

that prank had to be illegal, and fake, you cant just get a REALLY expensive card with just saying your name and birthdate, you have to say your social and every single thing, and I doubt john hargrave knows obamas SS#, mothers maiden name etc

It's because it's a workstation, not just a regular desktop. So you're using server-level parts and a fucktonne of RAM.

It's not just because of that.......

Apples absurd pricing scheme doesn't help either.

If you read the article, you'd know that he didn't get an ACCOUNT in Obama's name, he got a CARD.

And that anyone can do under any name, in his book, he did it like 4 times, He got a Card with the name "Fuk u NStar" TO pay his electric bill, he got a card under the name "Ashton Kutcher" to prank him(Well actually, he LEGALLY CHANGED his name to Ashton Kutcher)

My dad got a Credit Card to send to my Grandma back in Russia, it's in her name, and they didn't ask for anything.


Get your facts straight.
The actual charge goes on John Hargrave's account either way.

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

I wanna be able to play any new games at High Details and not lower them to low/medium and play a game that looks like if everything was made out of chocolate.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
