  1. Re:Toshiba Satellite on Laptops with the Longest Battery Life? · · Score: 1

    ...and anyone so quick to call someone else a liar, without first considering that not all batteries are equal, not all workloads are equal, and not all bits of silicon are equal, is either a troll or a fool. .

  2. Re:Pointless on Jeremy Paxman, BBC, Interview with Bill Gates · · Score: 1

    Hey, I wonder if we could get Channel 4 to persuade him to do an interview with Mark Thomas? ;-)

  3. Paxman's reactions on Jeremy Paxman, BBC, Interview with Bill Gates · · Score: 1

    I can't wait to see this, expecially the part where Paxman asks him if he's "serious" about selectable computer personalities.

    Personally, I don't see Gates getting too far on University Challenge...

  4. Re:I'll bet they ignore Atari/C64/TI994a/CoCo/etc. on A History of Modern Computing · · Score: 1

    And I'd bet dollars to donuts (though dollars are worthless to me... ;-) that even if they did, there'd be no mention of the good old BBC Micro.

    "When I were a lad, all round 'ere used to be Beebs..."

  5. Re:English measurements? on Mars Orbiter Lost Over Metric Conversion Error · · Score: 1

    Imperial measurements... *sigh*

    I miss the good old days, when we used to use Republic measurements... (which were metric anyway, although there was no equivalent for either "pound" or "newton")
