"NiCad batteries have this really horrible 'memory' effect where if you recharge the battery before it's completely empty, it thinks that where you've just started to recharge it from is the *real* empty"
Whoah... It thinks? This is a major developemnt - I must return to my battery lab!
It was a close call when one day down the local tavern a friend of mine tried to give me his MSN ID. I grabbed him by his big fat head and said: "Listen, foo - you either learn to use IRC or get a damn ICQ # 'cos I ain't talkin' no jibba jabba to any Murdock foo on MSN and I ain't gettin' in no passport ID foo, foo!" He later revealed he had spike my pint with crystal meth.
"in March, Benetton was also forced to announce it was not about to insert 15m RFID tags into its Sisley clothing range after an avalanche of consumer complaints"
I think I might notice a 15 metre chip on my T-Shirt...
Adobe were also the inspiration for my post regarding using IE to send the info, but this is info I gleaned from IRC discussions as opposed to any knowledge or experience:-)
Isn't it possible for any app which really wants to phone home to piggyback something which probably does have access through 99.9% of windoze firewalls (namely IE)? This is the reason I used mozilla on windoze and denied access to any win processes which weren't absolutely necessary. Not because of warez, you understand - simply a precaution. *cough*
Having dumped Winwads this week (almost) entirely for Linux I tried a couple of distros. Mandrake was a hell of a lot easier for me to set up than SuSE (purely because of all the stuff SuSE didn't do for me like stick all my windoze drives in/mnt/ or install X without accounting for the fact my monitor is old and doesn't do 1280x1024@60Hz...)
I know SuSE has a reputation for quality (and I'm sure it's justified) but Mandrake's reputation for friendliness is also justified - with a bare minimum of fuss here I am using thye web on Galeon.
I guess Mandrake's market is Windoze abandoners like myself who don't know how to compile a kernel (yet) but want to get away from M$ edamware - there are more of us out there so Mandy should expect a jump in sales (or server bills;-)

"Eventually, we aim to make a suit that is thin enough to be worn like underwear and will allow users to run and move their arms freely."
The image of my granny running around in her undies waving her arms about is one I did not need right now...
I think this one is very clear - it's an alien tribute to John McCririck!

56Hz? Doesn't that make your eyes develop a hardened shell that after a while blinds you to anything but your monitor?

I bet she's still a minger...
Adobe? M$? (..the obligatory mention of..) SCO?

Erm, my monitor does do 60Hz - It doesn't, however, do 75Hz. Lesson learned - employ the power of preview...
