    chances of superheating the water can be greatly reduced by placing something like a wooden skewer or chopstick in the water.

    personally, I just use an electric kettle. it's far quicker than my microwave when it comes to boiling water.

    Should've gone to Crossroads 20 instead!

  4. Interesting comment about dial navigation on Hardware Review: Rio Receiver · · Score: 1
    Unfortunately, while the interface isn't bad, it's not great either. Given the sheer number of MP3s available to play, navigating through a huge list with just a dial isn't fun.
    the dial/wheel navigation UI is what sold me on an iPod. Navigating a 5GB collection with one hand is a breeze on it.

    my favs:

    "I don't know the meaning of the word surrender! I mean, I know it, I'm not dumb...just not in this context."

    "KEEN!"

    "Well, once again my friend, we find that science is a two-headed beast. One head is nice, it gives us aspirin and other modern conveniences. . . but the other head of science is bad! Oh beware the other head of science, Arthur, it bites!"

    "Life is a big wild crazy tossed salad, but you don't eat it, no sir! You live it!"

    Although the main purpose of the Avantgo browser is to browse stored pages, it can also browse site directly from the net.

  7. Re:WinCE is one of the *choices* for DC developmen on Microsoft Unveils The X Box · · Score: 1

    DC games don't include a "copy of the OS" but may include a copy of DirectX SDK if it's needed. If a game wants to provide network support, it must use the WinCE/DirectX layer.

    As to whether the WinCE layer was at fault for Sega Rally's poor performance - you'll have to ask the developers. It's easy to point a finger at WinCE, but it could have been the result of a hastily ported game. (not that I'm defending WinCE, though...)
