  1. UK TV License Quirks on New Sharp AQUOS Cordless LCD TVs · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't know if there is anybody living in the UK reading this, but I believe there to be a quirk in television license rules. Specifically, devices that are not powered by mains (e.g. by battery, even if they are charged from mains -- so long as you don't watch and charge at the same time, I guess) are exempt from the requirement of a television license.

    A device like this could save some people quite a bit of cash, I should imagine ;)

  2. Titanic... on IMAX Develops Movie Transfer Technology · · Score: 1

    sure would make for an interesting view on the ``Big Big Screen''. I'm not quite sure I'd want to go watch it but I found watching it on the ``Small Big Screen'' quite amazing.

  3. Humidity switch on A Humanitarian Engineering Problem · · Score: 1

    A simple humidity switch could work whereby a finger would simply have to touch the ``button pad'' sorta thing would complete the circuit and allow current to flow. I saw these on an old hi-fi a while back and it worked great - I was about ten at the time and it took me ages to figure out how it worked.

  4. The Meaning Of It All on Information Valuation - The Most Buck for the Bits? · · Score: 1

    If you could sell ``42'' I reckon you would get a hell of a lot for it - and that's, what, a byte? :)

  5. Address what? There isn't anything to address... on Corel Linux FAQ · · Score: 1

    Yea, the guy im replying too, well, I agree with what you're saying. But you said ti yourself, the chances are that the guys card is supported anyway, so no need to address anything...

  6. Just a minute... on Melissa Creator tracked using MS's ID numbers? · · Score: 1

    Hey, although I am against micro$oft BIG TIME as far as I see this is surely something they have done right? Someone makes a virus/worm that is a macro and e-mails it. The fact that micro$oft can trace them is a good thing, right? That's the way I see it anyway. But maybe it isn't? Whatever happens it doesn't affect me because I use Linux.
