  1. Dictaphone on Note Taking Devices for Students? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Might not be entirely ideal but it's a fairly quick way of making notes and they aren't massively expensive.

  2. Am I going to see this in UK cinemas? on Ghost in the Shell 2 in Theaters Late This Summer · · Score: 1

    I've done some googling but can't find any information on whether it's coming to UK cinemas or not. I'd love it to as I'm fed up of watching animes on my computer. To see one in a cinema would be nice. Although if I see one flash of capcode then some movie execs are getting maimed (seriously, Kill Bill capcode nearly pushed me over the edge).

  3. Poor LANs on The Purposelessness of FPS Professionalism · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I attended an organised LAN in England recently as a spectator. It was badly run. We had to wait 30 minutes before any gaming was done. When the gaming was on all we could hear was some idiot commentator who hadn't grasped that you can't commentate on a Counter Strike match, it's unnecessary and embarrassing. Because we couldn't hear any sound effects from the game it felt like watching some weird silent movie. 10 minutes in to the match the server crashed and we had anther 30 minute wait for them to fix that. Once that was fixed and the matches started again they decided to have a 30 minute gap between each map. I decided to leave at that point. Maybe Counter Strike will have a better chance of being consider a sport when the events actually show some of the game rather than a blank projector screen.

  4. Works fine for me on First Experiences with X.org's X11 Server? · · Score: 1

    Been running it for some weeks without a problem. The upgrade went smoothly.

  5. I got a calculater on Best Results From Bartering Computer Services? · · Score: 1

    For installing a network at a friends house they gave me their eldest sons scientific calculator to use on my A-level maths course. Saved me 35 and I had fun building the network.

  6. Re:what are we going to _do_ about it? on Winny P2P Software Creator Arrested · · Score: 1

    I agree with you dude. I'm not giving them anymore of my money. Although I fear that they'll assume I'm not giving them money because of the P2P networks and come down harder on them.

  7. I love the BBC on BBC to Try TV On Demand · · Score: 1

    I listen to BBC radio 4 a lot as they have a lot of interesting programs on. I read news.bbc.co.uk a lot as well. Can't say I watch BBC TV much but I don't really like watching TV anyway. I'd pay my license fee even if I didn't own a TV. I'm more scared of privately run companies than a publicly financed and accountable company.

  8. Re:Mirror on Google Updates Its Face · · Score: 3, Funny

    I like the disclaimer. "Google is not affiliated with the authors of this page nor responsible for its content."

  9. My experience on Rules for Teenage Internet Access? · · Score: 1

    I've had a computer in my room since I've been about 13 and I'm 17 now. I've never had any rules laid out to me, my parents have never discussed with me the evils of porn on the net (mainly because they haven't really used the net themselves so don't know about it). Yes I've seen some things I'd rather not have seen but I consider it all part of growing up, I feel a better person for having seen those things and I feel better towards my parents for them trusting me not to do stupid things. My mum knows I look at porn, me and my 2 brothers sometimes sit in the kitchen talking jokingly about what porn films are good while my mum is in the room, she just laughs at us which I think is the best response she could give.
