  1. Re:Easiest one is... on Best Tool For Remembering Passwords? · · Score: 1

    I have a UK keyboard, you insensitive clod! My @ key resides above my right shift key.

  2. Re:Software programs? on US Electricity Grid Reportedly Penetrated By Spies · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Be careful if you live in the UK, this could be classed as material likely to be useful to a terrorist and get you arrested.

  3. Re:We need mythbusters! on Single Drive Wipe Protects Data · · Score: 1

    I can remember a method that works. My sister set up her HIFI speakers on either side of her desktop PC. Needless to say after a couple of weeks she rang me up to ask why her files kept getting randomly renamed (and some deleted) and her PC was having trouble booting. I think the speakers were 100W middle of the price range, so they were fairly powerful.

  4. Re:What's a skyhook? on Excerpt From Arthur C. Clarke's Last Work · · Score: 1

    Mmmmm..... Fried Chicken

  5. Re:Telltale's on Mars Probe Brings the "Weather Rock" New Respect · · Score: 1

    Also on helicopters. A Telltale is put on the windscreen and you can tell if you are travelling straight forwards or are proceeding at an angle. i.e. helicopter proceeding at 12:00 and fusilage pointing at 11:58.

  6. Ask people who have done it on Best Laptop for Going Around the World? · · Score: 1

    Suggest you get in contact with some people who have travelled with a laptop for that purpose. http://www.eastofthesun.co.uk/ This is the website of two relatives who travelled from Canada to the south of South Amercia on a motorbike. Their laptop survived the trip, might be worth asking them.

  7. Downloading on TrueCrypt 5.0 Released, Now Encrypts Entire Drive · · Score: 3, Funny

    I will just wait until you pesky North Americans are in bed and download in the morning UK time, ha ha. Wait, no, everyone forget I said that! Aww, now you all will try then.

  8. Re:Ultimately.... on No Right to Privacy When Your Computer Is Repaired · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately if you live in the UK, have such a file on your HD and forget the password. That can land you in jail for 2 years for failing to supply the decryption key. Not reccomended!

  9. Re:The problem with a petition against ID cards... on Three Months of Britain's e-Petition System · · Score: 1

    We already have a database with (almost) everyone's name and address in it, its called the electoral role. So putting my name and address on a petition does not bother me in the slightest.

  10. Uses for camera phones on Camera Phone Tips · · Score: 1
    I own a camera phone and find that when shopping for furniture having a picture of the space where the new item is to go helps greatly.

    Also if you are buying an expensive item, taking a picture of it (with permission of the store) and mulling it over can also ease the purchasing decision.

    If I want to take a quality photo I will use my film or quality digital camera. Having a camera with you for those spur of the moment times is great!

    I find it usefull having a camera and as it is detachable (on my phone anyway!) I can put away the camera part and noone can be upset.
