My father-in-law said "Firefox is shit because it is as slow as shit" or words similar. He wasn't on about the slow rendering and JS people on Slashdot complain about. He was talking about the 50+ extensions he'd installed. He'd gone through all the extensions installing each one that looked cute. FF took 3 or 4 minutes to start. You can imagine the rest.
New games with mandatory updates will be patched. It used to happen on the PS1. Patching ISOs became the norm in the end and we gained PPF-o-matic as a result.
The local government is trying to do somthing similar in my town. Free wi-fi low-band internet with the option to upgrade to 20mbit for a price. Trials are happening in an ajoining village but I've not heard much back.
Go careful with it though. It's acetone, as you know.
When I worked with nasty plastics and other chemicals, we only kept two of them outside in metal explosion cabinets. One was paraffin, the other was acetone.
I'm forever telling the missus to open a window, else the air/acetone ratio could lead to the inevitable.
I did something similar 20 years ago. Thank the FSM that I've never needed to use my first aid skills.
I enquired recently to local childrens first aid club via their online contact form on behalf of my daughter. She loves playing with bandages (see internet photos of me wrapped up like a mummy). The reply I received was:
WHO'S ASKING? WHY DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHERE AND WHEN THE CLUB IS HELD? ARE YOU SOME SORT OF FUCKING PEADO SCUMBAG?
OK, I made the last sentence up but it was the tone of the reply. What has the world become?
Only because they, the game makers, rip people like my daughter off on every sale.
How many shit £20 party games can they sell before people stop buying them?
And the shit pop-star branded games with 20 minutes playability? It's beginning to cost me more to sell them on eBay than they're worth. Even the eBayers have stopped taking a punt when I offer free postage. The games are truely shit.
People are not happy with Nintendo. They are pissed off with buying extra hardware for every game. They are pissed off with the only four games a year that are worth playing. They are pissed off with playing Mario for the billionth time.
I had a Panasonic over 15 years ago and it could record calls. It was basic and could only record for a number of seconds. I guess now it was for recording spoken addresses and phone numbers. I never used it.
My last Sony could record calls. This was 4 or 5 years ago. Horrible Sony proprietary audio file. I never used it.
My current Samsung, that's a couple of years old, can record calls. A nice mp3, on the memory card, as you'd expect. I've never used it
I've never owned a Nokia, but I guess they record calls too..?
Whisky is the poor mans brandy. It's no wonder they have to dilute it with cheap mixers. Brandy, served neat at blood temperature, is a mans drink; it has class.
My daughter was taught something called "chunking" last term. Long division, I think. I couldn't work it out. It seemed like the teachers wanted the students to brute force the answer by guessing over and over. I still can't see the logic in it. If they taught the multiplication tables from two to ten, there would be no need to guess.

Why Wave Failed
·
· Score: 1
We used it as a forum, and until the wave got too big, it worked fine.
Google should have touted it as a forum and introduced all the other wave features over time.
Today, the battery holds about 10 minutes charge. The fan is slow and full of dust, and unless I create some extra air flow by tilting it on a coaster, it overheats when playing videos. One of the keys is a bit sticky. The touchpad has lost a big section of the paint from overuse. The female power port is getting loose.
Oh, and some sectors on the HDD are failing and it takes two attempts to boot. This has been happening for over a month. We all know what happens next.
Buy a new HDD, fix the fan, replace the battery, pull the sticky key out and clean, and forget the touchpad paint and then use a recovery disk?
Slashdot Mirror
I'm sorry but I have to disagree.

Seems like a good idea to me.

Me and the family enjoyed 1vs100. Getting into the 'hundred' was doubly exiting when we won some points.
Why did they take it offline? Why, if they need this extra $10 so much, didn't they start offering it for 600 points?
I know they were network testing but surely, with the thousands of players online playing, it was a money-maker?
Oh, and back ontopic, no one with any sense pays the full price for Live. eBay is your friend.
If you measure everything with money, you are correct.
No, only you, as the rest of us are educated.

The real question is: What the fucking hell is a GOP?
A variation we've played is to sort the line on age, but you're not allowed to say numbers and month names.
All this Apple bashing on Slashdot is doing my head in. Can't you just give it a rest for a single day?
I'm so angry. Cancel my subscription. I'm done here.
Strange.

Stop buying phones in the US, I'd say.
Snap! Only mine's a basketball player. And I don't know much about basketball but his stats look shit.
Everyone makes mistakes and there's an old saying:
If you haven't made a mistake, you haven't made anything.
I think nothing of downloading 5gb on Xbox Live. Those demos are so helpful.
You don't need to be into Warez these day in order to download a metric shitload of files.
It's against the law in the UK. Items must be for sale at the higher price for 30 days before any sale can be advertised.

Consumer image manipulators often keep the EXIF data intact. Especially if the user just clicks the save, or save as button.
Websites should strip this data before displaying the image.
I, myself, would literally use petrol.
It's the same in the UK.

Now who's wrong?
I made a disk for my laptop 3.5 years ago.
Today, the battery holds about 10 minutes charge. The fan is slow and full of dust, and unless I create some extra air flow by tilting it on a coaster, it overheats when playing videos. One of the keys is a bit sticky. The touchpad has lost a big section of the paint from overuse. The female power port is getting loose.

Buy a new HDD, fix the fan, replace the battery, pull the sticky key out and clean, and forget the touchpad paint and then use a recovery disk?
Or just buy a new laptop?
They can't comment before the rest of us, only read.
And yes, you should have to browse above +1. It's why it's there.
