  1. Re:Great idea for other old military hardware! on Squadron of Lost WWII Spitfires To Be Exhumed In Burma · · Score: 1

    I've found old bullets on the WW1 battlefields of Northern France that were still viable. The local farmers regularly dig up shells and leave them at the sides of the fields for the military to pick up.

  2. Re:WD TV Live Media Player Plus on Ask Slashdot: How To Make My Own Hardware Multimedia Player? · · Score: 1

    The WDTV works equally well with a wireless USB adapter (make sure you get the right brand). I'm running ushare (UPnP server) on a OpenWRT router to stream videos.

  3. Re:Atari ST & Amiga on How Linus Torvalds Helped Bust a Microsoft Patent · · Score: 1

    The A500 could boot from hard disk starting from Kickstart 1.3 (released in 1988). No conversion necessary, just a SCSI controller.

  4. Re:Really? on Almost a Million UK Homes Will Suffer 4G TV interference · · Score: 1

    It's more like $230. Worth it though IMHO.

  5. Re:OSS Rocks! on Rockbox Developers Talk Open Source Firmware · · Score: 1

    Yes, but can you play Doom on the official firmware? You can with RockBox (I kid you not). Joking aside, I too went back to the offical firmware. Much easier to use 'blind', e.g. when out running and you need to change tracks but don't want to stop and fiddle with the UI.

  6. Re:The Sinclair is not a big deal on For Sinclair Fans, The ZX81 Lives On · · Score: 4, Informative

    Well, the Atari 800 was 10 times the price of a TS-1000 ($999.95 vs $99.95)

  7. Re:My First Personal Computer on For Sinclair Fans, The ZX81 Lives On · · Score: 2

    You can buy new ZX81 replacement membranes: http://www.rwapsoftware.co.uk/membranes.html

  8. Re:Yes it's totally software, but on Intel Relying On Ice Cream Sandwich For Tablet Push · · Score: 1

    Which almost nobody used...

  9. Re:I fear for Google SketchUp on Google Kills More Services, Open Sources Sky Map · · Score: 1

    I believe it's for people to design buildings for Google Earth/Maps.

  10. Re:Stupid article is stupid on Securing Android For the Enterprise · · Score: 1

    I'm running Gingerbread and have a VPN option with PPTP, L2TP, & OpenVPN. Could be a CyanogenMod feature but I don't think so.

  11. Re:Is Google trying to fragment web? on MAME Running In Chrome · · Score: 1

    Chromium is open source, Chrome is not.

  12. Re:Win8 is a non-event on Will Windows 8 Be Ready For Release In 2012? · · Score: 1

    You missed Windows 2000.

  13. Re:Waste of money on London Wires Up For 2012 Olympic Games · · Score: 1

    To be fair there has been a massive regenation of one of the most run-down areas of London.

  14. Re:Sounds pretty easy on What's the Carbon Footprint of Bicycling? · · Score: 1

    Certainly in London I'm seeing a lot more cycles on the roads than in the past. Perhaps it's because the cost of public transport is always increasing.

  15. Re:The thin veneer of civilisation on Technology Blamed For Helping UK Rioters · · Score: 2

    They're not protesting - they're looting (a Londoner here...).

  16. Re:Hugh Grant knows the score on Voicemail Hack Scandal Leads To Closure of UK Tabloid · · Score: 1

    Hugh was a panelist on the BBCs 'Question Time' last night. Strange hearing him talk with a British accent for a change!

  17. Re:Why should there be more? on Why Are There So Few Honeycomb Apps? · · Score: 1

    IPod applications on the IPad are scaled up and look like shit. Android has less of this problem as it supports different screen resolutions (I'm guessing, I've never seen an Android tablet).

  18. Re:My performance on Doom Ported To the Web · · Score: 2

    CPU: Celeron Dual-Core @ 1.8Ghz
    Firefox 4.x gets around 30fps, so I guess the answer is yes.

  19. Re:Say again? on Skype Crashes and Burns In Worldwide Outage · · Score: 1

    There are quite a few people in my organisation having Skype problems today.

  20. Re:I have a suggestion. on JavaScript Creator Talks About the Future · · Score: 1

    No it doesn't. In C# "=" creates a second reference, exactly like your javascript example.

  21. Re:High Def on What Developers Want From the Wii's Successor · · Score: 1

    True, even the Dreamcast from the 1999 had HD.

  22. Re:oblig on Microsoft Counts Down To XP Death · · Score: 1

    Believe it or not the download requires Windows Genuine Advantage Validation. So, I guess not!

  23. Re:Your entire life is in the 'cloud' already on Apple Wants To Store Your History In the Cloud · · Score: 1

    I get some American dude that killed people.

  24. Re:How much offset? on Chicago's Willis Tower To Become Vertical Solar Farm · · Score: 4, Funny

    Simply place a sign by the window: "Do not stand next to open window or you may get sucked off"

  25. Re:Many domains are worth more. on Oracle Could Reap $1 Million For Sun.com Domain · · Score: 1

    You obviously don't know many Sun 'readers'.
