  1. Re: Brexit will fix this on India Beats UK and US on Mobile Data Price (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Britain has some of the lowest mobile prices in the EU. I pay £10 for 3Gb with unlimited calls & texts.

  2. Only in the morning. By afternoon my phone & my colleagues were unable to make calls.

    It works like this pretty much everywhere.

    Amiga is DEAD, only necrophiles love the amiga.

    LINUX DESKTOP IS DEAD . When you comepare linux desktop from year 2000 to current linux desktop, surprise surprise : they look almost the same. COmparing modern OS line windows10 with modern linux desktop is like comparing any modern car with a car from year 1980 !!!

    I see a common theme here.

  5. Re:3.1.4 3.9 ? on AmigaOS 3.1.4 For Classic Amigas Released (hyperion-entertainment.com) · · Score: 1

    3.1.4 is 3.1 with bug fixes. The extra memory is to patch the 3.1 modules with updated versions.

    If you use a 3.1.4 ROM the patches are not needed. The release contains a 3.1.4 ROM image for you to burn to an EPROM or real ROMs will be available at a later date.
    3.x & 0.5mb is only usable if you are running from floppy. Even in the 90s anyone using an Amiga for non-games had a HD.

  6. Re:4x RAM requirement, does not run on old machine on AmigaOS 3.1.4 For Classic Amigas Released (hyperion-entertainment.com) · · Score: 1

    All Amiga's are 'old'. 3.1.4 has almost the same requirements as 3.1, assuming you buy an updated ROM (else it patches the existing ROM, which needs RAM).

  7. Re:3.1.4 3.9 ? on AmigaOS 3.1.4 For Classic Amigas Released (hyperion-entertainment.com) · · Score: 1

    You've had 30 years to upgrade your A500. 3.1.4 requirements are almost identical to 3.1

    Tab complete doesn't work with / in the path though.

  9. Re:Slashvertisement on New Commercial Amiga 500 Game Released · · Score: 2

    I'd say it's news for geeks. It's a polished new release for a 32 year old platform.
    The guy ain't gonna make megabucks from this, it's only sold 140 copies so far.

  10. Re:Lets stop and think for a minute on Jeff Bezos Reveals That Amazon Has Over 100 Million Prime Subscribers (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Did you really try prime?

    The other day I noticed that my dress pants were starting to get a little raggedy. So I went to amazon, went to my orders, typed in "pants", and up popped the last two times I ordered these pants. I added 2 to the cart, checked out, and they showed up 2 days later. I spent probably about 2 minutes total buying pants, and I got the exact ones I wanted in the exact size I needed

    So just like regular non-Prime Amazon then. Why would you pay extra for this?

  11. Re:Guess I'll have my work cut out for me then... on Microsoft Says Windows 10 Spring Creators Update Will Install in 30 Minutes (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    Got the problem on an AMD PC here. Even a fresh install of the latest Windows 10 from MSDN blue screens it. Used to work on older versions of Windows 10.

  12. That's not correct. Chromecast is a streaming device that 'casts' media from a server (normally on the internet, but a local Plex server can be used for example). A phone, tablet or computer acts as the _remote_. You can mirror from a local device but the results are average at best.

  13. Re:Zero Page memory locations on Ask Slashdot: What Are Some Things That Every Hacker Once Knew? (ibiblio.org) · · Score: 1

    Hey, don't forget the 6809!

  14. I run a 4.4 on mine and it's OK. Battery is still going strong. I also run F2FS and manually run a SD Trimmer every now and then. But I'm really only using it for a Netflix/Plex remote.

  15. In the UK we have the Direct Debit Guarantee. If a screw up like this happens your bank must give you a full and immediate refund.

  16. So did the Kindle Keyboard.

  17. Re:My own: on Slashdot Asks: What's Your Preferred Music Streaming Service? · · Score: 1

    Plex is fantastic but it does not transcode audio (like it does for video). This means when I am on a dodgy 3G signal my phone cannot play my FLAC audio from my server at home.

  18. Re:Madadtory ID cards ? on EU Exploring Idea of Using Government ID Cards As Mandatory Online Logins (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    Depends on the country. The UK has no mandatory ID and I don't see this changing soon.

  19. Re:I don't on Ask Slashdot: Why Do You Want a 'Smart TV'? · · Score: 2

    If you don't give a smart tv your wifi credentials it is essentially a dumb tv. Just plug in a Chromecast or whatever to get streaming support.

    Are you kidding? Mobile data is cheap in the UK. Line rental alone £16.99 from BT. Add another £10-£20 for a basic internet package. £27 - £37 buys you a lot of mobile data.

  22. Huh? The UK doesn't even have a national ID card.
