    Ok, this might have been said before, but I only just noticed

    Duke Nukem Forever = DNF

    Ironic perhaps?

  4. Re:WiFi on Cellphones on Digital Camera Memory Card With Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    Yes, you're correct. It is called SDIO. Here's a review for one for PocketPC.

    Never used one, but this is the first thing I thought of when I heard of this. Obviously it requires the Hardware, and OS supports SDIO for communication.

    Do you have a suggestion for dealing with a BSOD that doesn't involve resetting?

    Maybe an LED with brightness control?


    Ok, this is a weird question and completely off-topic but I've been wanting to build one for ages.

    A PC controlled LED with brightness control - more than 32 levels please. If someone can come up with a parallel or usb controlled variable brightness LED (without a stepper motor, you cheater) then I'll be your friend! :D

  11. 40 watts? on A New Wireless Power Transmission Sheet · · Score: 1

    How many laptops are there that use 40 watts? I don't know of any, thats a little over 2 Amps at 18 volts, i guess they exist.

    Still, sounds interesting but as always its going to take some massive manufacturer to incorporate it for it to take off. Probably Sony :)

  12. IMAP on Mozilla Releases Thunderbird 2.0.0 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I use IMAP and Thunderbird - and so do all my customers. POP3 is just way too insecure, Outlook is sucky and Thunderbird is the perfect solution.

    Maybe think before you write such generalising statements.

    Well I'm from the UK and I've been reading the Wikipedia Cent (US coin) article, which says:

    1982- present 97.6% zinc core, 2.4% copper plating 2009 (planned) New designs in bronze per the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005

    Rather than getting rid of the cent, will it be replaced with bronze? Is this worth any less?
