i think it will start on new years, because in the wiki it says that's when hubert is returning from the amazon, and they had that up since the start

I Got Blisters On My Fingers!!

yeah. there was a memo or something saying that there would be an attack on new years day

mmm... Extra chewy

In the next week ago; it's been said in another topic.

stop it already.... Come on!

i never understood the point of speculating like this.  There's not much use in it.  Most of it has little basis, and all it does is get people expecting it on some day that they probably shouldn't.

Give a man fire, he'll be warm for a day.  Set a man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

But should we stop checking the page a few times a day to make sure we don't miss a possible heist?

No, I don't think so.  I'm on here quite a few times a day, just to see what's going on in the heist world.  I just think its lame to get on here and make weak speculations that are little more than guesses as to when the next heists will start.  It's almost like nagging at the directorate for another one.  Just hang out, chat IRC, enjoy your time in the forums, or help develop some user-created heist.

We're trying to cook up a really amazing heist for you guys, something worthy of a finale. As for timing, just ask yourselves this. What time of the year in the Mac community would be ideal for a ridiculous heist?

macworld time?

Ding ding ding!

So by that estimate we have about 4 weeks to wait for this wonderful heist.  Man, the suspense just might kill me. 

I like to pull heists.

haha, i guess theres only one way to find out - wait around hehehehe

Will it be even harder than Heist #3 ?

it will take us months to complete - phill told me

I'd love to spend my Christmas heisting. I don't do anything else anyways.

The day Vista is released

mmm... Extra chewy

I think the day leopard was released would be better.

Hubert lives on!
check out: http://tristan.hume.ca/hubert

Hopefully the heist will be for a copy of leopard (or a new mac with leopard installed)and there can only be one winner.

Yes, because we all know when that is...

At least it give us a positive oriented forum away from all that negative bull pucky ..

a happy place with happy thoughts... burp

I would think that the majority of this forum is positively-oriented.  These threads are the negative bull pucky.

I hope it's sooner than that! I leave on the 8th for Europe and won't be back around my computer for a month... it would suck to miss the last heist!

Um... am I the only one who fails to see what's going on here?

MacWorld?! More like Christmas.

que?

do you mean you think it's more likely to happen ono Christmas day?

Bcos if so, I think that's unlikely. What does Christmas have to do with the Mac Calendar in particular?

If not, please ignore!

Well, assuming that most of the mac community is christian, christmas would be a special event for almost everyone.
Of course, since I'm jewish, I won't be doing anything that night, giving me a potential head start on the heist *snicker* *snicker*

Thats one thing I never understood. I'm an atheist (don't believe in gods) and I celebrate christmas. Its a stately holiday, why are jewish people always so offended when you wish htme a merry christmas... I mean all we do is put on our goat costumes and dance around the burning tree...
Unless goat-costume-dancing is forbidden by your religion I really can't see a reason why not. I mean, you do celebrate your birthday right? What makes this different? (Unless you don't want to give presents away again after you've had Hannuka that is. That would be a worthy excuse)

Ummm.... when did I say that I didn't like christmas?
Also, my parents sort of forced judaism on me, when I get to college, I will never visit a temple again (excepting other people's bar mitzvahs, weddings, etc.).
And no, christmas is NOT a stately holiday.  You are specifically celebrating the birth of christ, which does not have anything to do with the US of A.  Also, there is this little thing called separation of church and state...
Edit: Anyways, back to the point: I hope it's soon, at least before I have to go back to school

I'm sorry to say you are very uninformed.  Christmas is a national holiday here in the United States of America.

All you need is LOVE

This proves only that we nationally recognize Christmas as a holiday.  Again, this is because the United States was founded and runs on primarily Christian principles.  Just because the United States as a nation celebrates the holiday does not mean Christmas has anything to do with America.  You seemed to be the uninformed one here.  The meaning of Christmas was not shaped in any way by the United States' politics or its history.

Give a man fire, he'll be warm for a day.  Set a man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

@joelheflin: its technicaly a national holiday, but it has nothing to do whatsoever with american history

I'm sorry, I don't celebrate the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. I celebrate having the whole family here and *random cheesy line about families goes here*.
No, I don't live in the US, christmas is a stately holiday almost everywhere. Ask your self this: What does a Tree, a fat man dressed in red (or a man in a goat costume if you live in sweden) have to do with religion?
The prophet Jesus was born, its religious blah blah. If somebody made a holiday on the day Gandhi was born you would celebrate it right? You celebrate the birth of a man who helped many others and for some odd reason decided it would be nice to die a slow and painfull death, not a religious icon or deity.

Christmas!!!!! Or New Years exactly. (Midnight)

I'm really sorry, I totally respect your views and what you're saying makes a lot of sense. It's really too bad that America and some other countries celebrate Christmas with a load of frienzied consumerism.....

Big fat man in red coat = Saint nick
Saint nick = religion (specifically, christianity)

I agree that it has turned into somewhat of commercial holiday, but its still celebrating the birth of christ.  And, flaming words, you just admitted that you don't celebrate christmas, so I don't get what your trying to say...
About the Ghandi part, yes, I would celebrate it because he hs helped the world in many secular ways.  Jesus, not so much.

Uh... this thread has gotten pretty off-topic! I think we all agree Xmas originates from the christian religion, but has somewhat turned into a "universal" holiday even for atheists who live in a county where christianity is/was predominant (US, Canada, Europe, etc.). End of discussion? I hope so...

Anybody else have estimates for when heist 6 will come out? From what Phill said, I think it would seem to be Macworld Expo, although I see a couple of problems with that: much of the team will be in SF and will have other things to do than run a heist, while we will all be trying to watch Apple's keynote or, even worse (depending on how you look at it ), at the Expo. So maybe Xmas or New Year, though I won't be at my computer at Xmas, that's for sure!

Back on my two feet

+1. wot shadownight said there makes sense, and theres no real point in arguing about it

it could be all automated.

Anyway, it'll be something like this, or maybe when something happens with windows. or maybe on an aniversary of some mac date that i am oblivious to - anyone know when the first lisa was sold? etc etc

good point

mmm... Extra chewy

thread bumped,

because of all the copycat speculation threads.

read page one.

HAHA

Awesome.

Sounds like they're cooking up something good.

Or delicious?

its going to reward all of the people who stay here 'till the end!

I would say the beginning of the spring semester at Uni.  It would be a ridiculous time for a heist to be ideal.

I hate to steal your thunder, but Xmas does not originate from christian religion. In fact it originates in the winter solstice, when ancient inhapitants of the northen hemisphere celebrated the coming of light. IE. the day got longer and the winter had gotten so much shorter. Jews still celebrate the coming of lights, hannucha (did I get it spelled right ?). In Scandinavia and Iceland its still called Jul, Jule or Jól depending on where you live. Christmas is merely an adaptation of this festival to christian religion designed to ease the transittion from paganism to christianity. And that is that.

Nope.  It is not called "hannucha."  Hanukkah or Chanukah or ????? (Does this forum support Hebrew?) (NOPE) your choice.
:-)

Christmas has a pagan origin. Look it up. Has nothing to do with religion.

Well, I apologize for my mistake, I always thought Christmas was to celebrate the birth of Jesus. End of discussion? Yeah, I hope so!

As for estimates on when the next heist will start... Before the end of the week, next week, next month, never?
