  1. Maybe I'm missing something.. on What to Expect from Linux 2.6.12 · · Score: 1

    .. but the article says Xen will run Windows, however the Xen website says that only an early version would run a ported version of Windows, and that it'll be when some new architecture of processors (announced by AMD and Intel) are available before it's actually supported..

    *phew* That was one long sentance!

  2. Firefox isn't a fox! It's a red panda.. on The History of Mozilla Firefox · · Score: 2, Informative

    A half-decent article but he/she mentions Firefox as being a small red fox. It's not. It's a red panda. One glimpse at the Firefox FAQ reveals this..

  3. Dysgraphia on Credit card signatures: Useless? · · Score: 1

    I'm dysgraphic (a learning disability similar to, and often accompanied by dyslexia). This means that my signature changes pretty much every time I put pen to paper. Now I just make a little scribble - unique every time. No-one has cared for the past 6 or 7 years. No-one except one grocery store who refused to put through two £5 purchases within the same month as the sig didn't match. When I presented ID I was told I could have just mugged some poor guy and put my photo on his student card (despite the photo being printed directly on the plastic!). Had a massive arguement with the manager (both times) and finally got the transaction authorised once I threatened to complain to HQ about their mistreatment of disabled shoppers. Some banks in the UK put customers photo's on the back of the card instead of a signature strip - mine doesnt. Dysgraphics are not considered at all by UK banks and services.. Signatures on card's are completely pointless. David

  4. Re:take a look in the book on Web Design Garage · · Score: 1

    Oh I don't know if I'd agree. I've had a look at some of the other Garage series books and they've been pretty detailed! Then again every one is different so I can't really comment until I've seen the web design one!
