  1. Re:it makes sense really on Moody Non-Photo-Realistic Driving · · Score: 1

    Good luck matey. Edinburgh local council is renowned for its hatred of motorists. The insane one way streets, an army of parking wardens, no parking lines everywhere, and so on. Just watch what you do. Chances are if you do anything wrong, you'll get a fine for it.
    I've stopped taking my car into Edinburgh at all now (I'm from Glasgow, which is rapidly going the same way), unless I'm guaranteed a parking space at a friends flat.

  2. Re:it makes sense really on Moody Non-Photo-Realistic Driving · · Score: 1

    Sometimes I get a bit worried when I'm changing gear (right hand drive, British). It's a bit tricky to swap overdrive and main gearshift (two levers) with one hand in one movement. I guess that's the risk you take with 16 forward gears...

  3. Re:What was that? on Shuttle Discovery Lands Safely · · Score: 1

    The puffs of gas were the exhaust plumes from the hydrazine powered auxiliary power unit. Any surface heat from reentry will have been dissipated during the regular cruise down to touchdown. Most of the heat during re-entry is formed by compression of the air at the boundary layer. It's mostly described here

  4. Re:I loathe Linux on Windows Interoperability in A Linux Distro · · Score: 1

    Please direct all your anger, hating and loathing towards D-Link. After all, they are the tards that lied to you about Linux support, and refuse to release specs so that someone can write a proper driver.
    Personally, I scout out what hardware I want _before_ buying, and make sure it works with Linux. But unfortunately not everyone looks beyond their nose when it comes to planning for things.

    What the fuck are you on about? This is exactly what he has just said. Try RTFA.
    He's asking how to go about syncing the domain controller (or equivalent workstation with time server) to the outside world, tard.

    But will Google Toolbar work on Linux? No

    I can't be arsed looking up the rest of your claims.

  7. Re:Install X.org, remove 1/2 your system on Debian Sid Moves to X.Org · · Score: 1

    See that word "unstable"? Look it up in the dictionary. See that name "sid" - did you ever stop to think that it stands for "Still In Development"?

    "I run Debian Unstable. But I'll still moan like a fucking drain when it breaks..."

  8. Trojan horse on Optimus Keyboard With OLED Display Keys · · Score: 1

    When it comes out, I'll be waiting for the first bit of spyware that alters all the key displays and makes them link to $pornsite :-)

  9. Re:Response from London locals... on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 1

    Yeah, a lot of people would panic as well. Unfortunately though, we (Britain) have had to put up with terrorism for over 30 years. It gets bred into you after a while :-)

    I question your roots. I question your patriotism.
    You're American, aren't you? :-)

    Cure my curiosity - what company provided that? We just have NTL/Telewest siamese pair co-ax, or BTs regular phone cable here. Kyle

  14. Re:What about the OS? on AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core Chips Released · · Score: 1

    Windows may be PnP, but the Hardware Abstraction Layer certainly isn't. Once you've installed on Intel, you can't transfer to AMD without having to reinstalled the HAL & the rest of the system. The same applies to going from UP to MP, as when Windows installs for the first time it picks whichever HAL suits the job. Maybe you should read up a bit before claiming it's a dumb question.

    Bizarre, cos every time I've dealt with Dell tech support it's been one of the guys in Ireland. I've always had a good experience with them. You don't say if you have a business account with them or not.

  21. Junk... on A Different Way To Recycle Old PCs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Constructed from 16 monitors and 60 computers in a dimly lit round basement space, the circular structure of The Blackhouse faces outwards, yet allows the viewer to look over and into complicated interior.
    It's the whole 'dimly lit round basement space' that gets me... I walked past this when it was built a few weeks ago, as I live 2 blocks from the Art School, and not only was it in the floorspace of an empty shop, but it was looking out onto a busy main road. To be perfectly honest, it looked like someone was bored and had arranged a pile of junk computers in a circle. Completely uninspiring and boring. I even told my girlfriend about the 'pile of crap in the shop' and that she shouldn't worry as I won't be asking for any of it. I'm sorry, but I can't see how this passes for 'art'...
