Why couldn't they put the same connectors on the other side of the inside of the plug, but the other way around? So it doesn't matter which way up it went?;o)
I say make them triangular or something. That'll really make things confusing.
To confirm from (I can't believe I'm saying this...) Wikipedia, since the idea seems kinda backwards at first:
AMD has confirmed that AM3 processors will work on some AM2 motherboards. However, AM2/2+ processors will not work on AM3 motherboards because AM2 processors lack the DDR3 memory controller. Also, two extra pins and the change in contact placement
Please accept my apologies, it wasn't an attack on you directly, it was a quote from the popular television show The Big Bang Theory, episode S01E12 - The Jerusalem Duality.
If you haven't seen it, Sheldon has a very similar discussion with Leonard, resulting in that quip. I've got nothing against re-animation (if it were to be possible), I just wanted to bring my poor attempt at humour to Slashdot.
To quote the original:
Sheldon: Here's the problem with teleportation.
Leonard: Lay it on me.
Sheldon: Assuming a device could be invented which would identify the state of matter of an individual in one location... and transmit that to a distant location for reassembly you wouldn't have transported the individual, you would have destroyed him in one location and re-created him in another.
Leonard: How about that.
Sheldon: I would never use a transporter. The original Sheldon would have to be disintegrated in order to create a new Sheldon.
Leonard: Would the new Sheldon be in any way an improvement on the old Sheldon?
Sheldon: No, he would be exactly the same.
Leonard: That is a problem.
I guess Slashdot comments aren't the best place for geek humour;o)
Sure, I overheard a friend once say a very similar thing that his Netgear was having trouble when there were lightning strikes, and... I 'reckon' it's because they use cheap power supplies and don't care that some of their customers have problems if most of them work most of the time?
Well, it doesn't do anything for the phones; they're inanimate objects!
It's for the users who appreciate it, like when Linksys WRT54G were 'hacked', it meant a lot to some people. Isn't openness a good thing? Presumably that's why so many people work on opening the iPhone to better freedom and development.
Sure it's not for everyone, but openness, competition and freedom is usually considered a good thing!

· Score: 4, Interesting
I've had problems with both Netgear and Linksys routers, usually because of the cheap PSU's they use. Put it on a UPS and haven't had to reboot my home Linksys or Netgear (WRT54G and DG834N WDS'd together) in years now.
Mostly seems to stem from power fluctuations, google search brings up nothing specific, but anecdotal evidence on my part and some customers seem to agree. Anyone else have this?
Seems a lot of 4gb cards are SDHC and/or don't work in non-HC cardslots.
A quick google search, a Sandisk FAQ and even the Wikipedia article we both referenced state "SDHC allows standard-compliant capacities in excess of 2 GB." seem to suggest this might be the case.
Kingston even state SDHC starts at 4gb.
Not claiming I understand why, but I've had some experience of 4gb cards not working in non-SDHC, some cameras don't seem to like anything more than 2GB. YMMV! HTH!
I can't get BeThere but I've heard good things about it. I'm with a very old package from Freedom2Surf, we got a 2mbps package, totally unlimited for about £18, which is now £25 iirc. They keep asking us if we'd like 8mbps but forget to mention that it's limited to 1GB.
I've been looking at O2's broadband but would appreciate any suggestions for high bandwidth users!*:o)
* I backup my server nightly using RSYNC, so 1gb just isn't enough.
Good point, though most text messages expire after two weeks (configurable on most phones), and there is Delivery Reports* if the message failed to be sent.
Presumably though, the message is sent through Lenovo and they deal with this sort of delaying problem.
* (If your operator supports them, if not try *0# at the beginning of your message, no space required. This works on UK O2 at least)
It's relying on that the RFID card had not been tampered with, changed or duplicated. If it was stored server-side, the major problem would probably mostly only be with duplicated cards.
I love the articles about the UK; my sarcasm detector goes off the scale.
I don't know. I've had a look on the Gentoo Bug Reports, have run www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.0.3 and the binary version all day, it's not masked and I've not had any problems. Not sure what the OP is having problems with.

then it seems like you've killed "me" and made a copy at the same time.
Would this copy be anyway an improvement on the original mpeskett?
No, he would be exactly the same.
Yeah, that is a problem.

Heh :o) In all seriousness, I've actually already filled in the forms to donate my brain to the MRC London Brain Bank for Neurodegenerative Diseases.
It's not like it's going to be much to use to me. Just hoping they'll still be around, since I'm hoping it'll still be some way off.

he can fit 800 pictures on eight 2-gig cards
Er, what's wrong with one 16GB card?
Not all cameras support SDHC?
I live in Essex and that's really not surprising! You do need to pass a fitness test for Essex Police though.
Really? Even in the UK?
Nope. Facebook has more unique visitors per month, MySpace had approximately 106 millions users as of 8th September 2008, and FTFS, facebook has 140 million (Wikipedia says 120 million.)
Sounds like your microfilter is broken. Your telephone line and ADSL are at separate frequencies and the microfilter should separate them properly.

The use of the tag "suddenoutbreakofcommonsense" just seems so inappropriate when discussing Monty Python. :)

If you can't be bothered with onaccess scanning, try clamwin. Its very good for checking suspicious files.
Presumably this will only be for Windows 7 as it is to be released around that time too.
Have you checked the MythTV Wiki for your HDTV card, the MythTV Wiki for your Remote Control, oh yeah and the MythTV Wiki for for Graphics Card? All three are listed on the Wiki, looks quite well supported to me.

Agreed. I'll probably get lynched from other Gentoo users for this, but I've not had much trouble with firefox-bin.
I think 3.0.1-r1 is current for the binary (please correct me if I'm wrong! Haven't synced my desktop Gentoo install in a while...).
Not great for everyone I know, but it's probably better than using Firefox 2.
