Actually, I'm pretty sure Sinclair User was bigger than Crash, at least towards the end. Though it wasn't my favourite: it may be nostalgia speaking, but I'm pretty sure YS was the best computer mag I've ever read...
(heh...Poke Cards....that brings back some memories!)
The undoclosetab extension restores the tab completely (at least, I think it does, might require Session Saver too...) I don't use Tab Mix Plus though.
I can't believe I'm actually having this discussion.
Neither can I. Did you really not know that "per" meant the same as "divide" or did you just confuse yourself because you had the dollar sign before the number in your first example? (Units there should have been $/g and then the divide/multiply makes sense as above)
Example 1 - Write a 'Word' (or 'text' - ugh) document and numbered headings (1.1, 1.1.1). Get to the end of 50 page document and after review find you need to add more sections in the middle. Attempt to add more sections. Find that adding new numbers doesn't change work properly,
Just tried this now. It works exactly the way it should (insert a new heading and the numbers auto-update). I think you must have been doing something wrong here (you did specify them as type heading and allow OOo to do the numbering, didn't you?)
A lot of people also forget the one advantage of the dos kernel: it was absolutely TINY. Linux is so huge now, it won't even fit on a floppy.
It wasn't that tiny. I remember seeing what bits I could remove from a boot floppy to get the networking stuff on there! Anyway, Linux on a floppy still exists.
Fair enough; I don't recall that in the UK. We called them "micros", or "home computers". Or maybe my memory is just shot from my partying days...always a possibility!
I realise that "personal computer" as a description was in use beforehand, but was there an actual computer called a Personal Computer (or PC) sold before IBM's? (I'm willing to be corrected, but I wasn't aware of one)
Well, this is a bit offtopic, and you're right that they should refer to Windows, and I'm being way too pedantic, and I know language has changed with the times, but...
Macs aren't PCs. Well, yes, now they are I suppose, but they weren't. PCs and Macs are "microcomputers", or "micros" (though I suppose that's been adopted by microwave ovens now). IBM makes "PCs". Other manufacturers make "IBM PC compatible clones". Apple makes Macs. Commodore made Amigas. All microcomputers, but only IBM's are actually PCs.
Something doesn't make sense here. If Debian GNU/Hurd doesn't include any software that requires DRM, then what makes you think Debian GNU/Linux will? IOW, if you want to avoid running software that requires DRM then why don't you...erm...just not run any software that requires DRM? (I mean, change kernels if you really want to, but I don't get the reasoning here...)
umm how could something have a 10000% markup ie you buy a part for $0.005 and then turn around and sell it for $0.50 that would be 99% markup
I don't really get your example, but that's not what markup is. Markup is just the percentage increase. So buying for $0.25 and selling for $0.50 would be 100% markup and selling for $5 would be 1000%.
Probably/dev/sdb or c. Simple way to check: Leave the thing unplugged on boot. Start up a terminal and type "dmesg"...see what it ends with? Now insert the drive. Type "dmesg" at terminal again. Should have added some stuff about usb-storage where it names the device.
No, do you know what it means. The guy and his Foss Mean Business is pretty much the definition of astroturfing. Any way see you in Belfast.
No, astroturfing is faking a grassroots movement (hence the astroturf reference). This guy hasn't pretended to be anything other than involved with, and enthusiastic about, this FOSS Mean Business talk. Therefore, whatever else it may be, it's not astroturfing at all.
How exactly is this astroturfing? Do you even know what the word means? The comment was appropriate to the thread. Your own comment consisted of an inaccurate complaint. Yeah, really useful.
If Linux is going to make headway into the desktop market it will need help from big business.
According to IDC figures, since 2000 (dunno about before) the Linux desktop presence has shown >10% growth every year. I don't think that's anything to worry about.
Yeah, but what about R-Type on the Spectrum? I mean, the whole idea of getting R-Type on that kind of machine was insane. To actually have it work was completely impossible...
It is strange and startling to look at the first copies of magazines like YS or Crash and see the games coming out at the start, and then look at the copies near the end and see those games. Amazing progression.

Because English, despite having borrowed many words from Latin, is a Germanic language not a Latin one.
"Then tell us which one he's making fun of" is unambiguous and sounds natural; there's nothing wrong with it.
See here for some references supporting this position.

kilometers/hours = 2
kilometers/3 = 2
kilometers = 2 * 3

Either way, I'm afraid you're just mistaken here.

A good one for older hardware is VectorLinux. The standard edition uses icewm and Rox filer, which is nice and fast.

Sorry, can't make Belfast this time.
