  3. Re:First Post on HP Linux Laptop Is A Winner · · Score: 1

    How come the Asimov link jumps to Amazon.com? and displays "The End Of Eternity". Why is this "Lost". I read this years ago (60's)

  4. Re:Mozilla, Opera and Firefox... on PC Magazine Reviews Firefox, Opera · · Score: 1

    What is wrong with an eight-second load time for Firefox? Might be a couple of seconds slower than IE6 but what the hell are you going to do in two seconds?

  5. Re:BUTTONORDER on PC Magazine Reviews Firefox, Opera · · Score: 1

    What seems to be the problem with the button order and what is stopping you customising them to your own preferrence?

  7. Re:Choosing the camera is important on Digital Photography Composition 101 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Not always the case. I have worked with photographers that would take 100+ shots of a fairly simple subject and have only mediocre results. On the other hand, I was proud to work with another photographer that more often than not would take ONE SHOT only, and come back with spectacular photo's. I remember particularly on one occasion he was asked to take some nautical photos - ship setting out on it's maiden voyage and not returning for over a year, by the shipbuilder's who's staff photog was in hospital. This guy borrowed my Hasselblad, first time he'd used it but this was a RUSH. Took one film and no lightmeter or other accessories, from a hired helicopter he took 10 shots on the 12 shot film roll. All perfectly exposed, in difficult conditions, all perfect shots. Whole thing took 2 hours, studio - location - studio. The man was an absolute genius.

  11. Re:AOL sucks. on AOL Blocking Spammers' Web Sites · · Score: 2, Interesting

    AOL recently identified me as a spammer and blocked all future email from me to my friend in Paris, following a fairly rapid exchange of emails between us concerning tickets for a newly announced gig that I knew she would love to go to, but were not visible to her for some reason. Presumably because the emails all centred around 'tickets', AOL severed our communications. She is the onl AOL customer I contact by email, and then infrequently. If this is a measure of their accuracy in identifying spammers, God help us all

    Agree absolutely, and also taht Vernor Vinge is tantalising too, but how about Iain M. Banks, particularly the first four novels. Fascinating.

  17. Re:Heard of Flourescence? on Light Bulb Replacements · · Score: 1

    Thoroughly agree, use them almost exclusively, last for donkey's and British Gas just gave me a lifetime's supply for buying an energy efficient fridge-freezer.

    How many companies does it take to change a lightbulb anyway? And what is the problem with diesel derived from rapeseed oil - or any vegetable oil for that matter (or filling your tank with Mazola when the Revenue are looking the other way)
