Patrick Moore's great. I grew up in his home town (Selsey Bill) and visited his house when about 6. Very clever and very funny guy. He use to cycle his bike from his house to the cricket ground - where he use to play - and to the Indian restaurant in which he still frequents.

I use vonage as well. I live in the UK and my SO in NY. I get unlimited international (i.e. UK US) calling for 30 usd a month. Plus she can call me for the "cost" of a local phone call and the line is nothing short of excellent quality. OK - a few times they've had problems, but in the space of around 8 months I can only think of 2-3 times this has happened. It is definitely a fantastic server. (recommend me and get 40 USD free!!)
here here !! Great comment - it's almost worth putting up flyposters with this on ! ( If only I had never commented in the thread of death then maybe I would have had mod points given to me in the last year ! )
Oh no. The UK is next in line to be the 51st state (and that's in jest too - ok ?) !

I agree with both of you - but more the first poster ! If you speak only French, and your boss (i.e. the person with the cash) speaks only German - in what language do you think you've got a better chance of extracting some of those green wrinklies from them ? (and I'm talking about dollars)
FWIW, My Mac Cube G4 switches off the moment I use my garmin rino within 3 feet of it. Imagine my surprise the first time I found this out
And yes it is true. It also switches it back on again, but that's little consolation.
... so bad in fact I started writing exactly what that dude wrote about his SPV. Unfortunately, I wanted to write too much and never finished the damn thing. There's two great features of the Philips I love - the "egg timer of death" (every now and then an egg timer just appears - the only way you get rid of it is to pull the battery) and the complete inability to remember the time and date if it crashes (see previous) and you have to pull the battery. Oh, and the THIRD thing I hate about it is that although it has xxx kb for storing background images, it can only store around 10 SMSs. Go figure that, eh ? Oh AND you just can't redial easily. AND it's got a really unfriendly keyboard lock / unlock feature. It's time for bed. I can't start this whinge now.
I've had a cursory look at the website and the comments so far but I can't see if it'd work in the UK (i.e. with PAL). Anybody got any references / success stories ??
I second this idea - even better is the use of a different email addy for each website you visit. Registering at cnn ? Use cnn.com-rixster@your-domain.com . Then, when (finally) your email addy gets sold by one of those less scrupulous(sic?) websites that went tips up, you can determine immediately who sold it, and send 'em a snooty email. OK, you don't get anything material from it - but at least it gives you the satisfaction that you've probably sent the shivers up the spine of the techies who flogged it.

D'oh. And there was me having to move the mouse each time. (I'm serious!). Cheers for the tip !
nothing to do with the comment - but your sig made me laugh.
Sorry - force of habit

I just looked at hostmania and they look like a purely MS shop. Where's the BSD option ??

I just hope you're not going to multiply with yourself twice. Now that would be a scary thought ;-)
I've got the same Linksys - just login to it and check the logs - it'll tell you about the MACs that've been using it and the access they got
Probably the same place you went to learn the skill of abbreviation.
What you don't know is that the poster is either BillG or SteveB
Can you reply with your credit card numbers please so I can test them from my router ? Maybe it will work then.
No - he's talking about the USof "A" and that removal-of-privacy bill soon to be passed...

What's wrong with recursive loops ?
func int factorial( int x ) {
if x < 1 return 1;
return x * factorial ( x -1 );
