  1. Re:Opt out on Virgin Media To Base a Public Wi-Fi Net On Paying Customers' Routers · · Score: 2

    You can place the Virgin Superhub (sic) into modem only mode and then attach your own router to it. This disables the wifi part of the Superhub as far as I can tell, so I'm not sure how this will affect their roll out.

  2. No Action Needed. on German Teenager Gets Job Offer By Trying To Use FOI For His Exam Papers · · Score: 5, Funny

    I would have replied to the request that he would be provided with the information... and stated the date and time of his exam :)

  3. FLAC on a PMP on Sony Thinks You'll Pay $1200 For a Digital Walkman · · Score: 1

    FLAC support on a portable music player has existed for years - The S9 from iAudio supported loads of formats, and the sound quality was superb.

  4. Re:I'm 31 on Have I Lost My Gaming Mojo? · · Score: 1

    I meant MOO not MoM :)

  5. Re:I'm 31 on Have I Lost My Gaming Mojo? · · Score: 1

    Truth is, I dropped all of the games that simulate real work. Big surprise, I have a full-time job. It's unfortunately because I really used to like the Master of Orion series, and number three was fantastic.

    Ah... what?! I'm sure that must be a mistake. You mean MoM 2 not 3. Three was one of the very worst games I've ever bought. It was diabolically bad.

  6. Re:How secure on Bitcoin Releases Version 0.3 · · Score: 1

    The main problem the Eurozone faces is that it didn't stick to it's guns in the first place when introducing new member states. All new countries were supposed to reach a certain financial position in relation to overall spending and income and maintain it. Some countries such as Greece basically said 'Sure Thing Boss', frigged the figures, and then continued to overspend. The Eurozone failed to do sufficient due-diligence when allowing these countries to join. Even some of the original countries such as Italy are flouting the rules.

  7. Software Wifi Monitoring on Tracking Down Wi-Fi Interference? · · Score: 1

    I had this problem at one time. Used the free version of NetSurveyor. Found out which channels were being used and manually set the router to a different one.

  8. But only if you can login in the first place on Using a Treadmill and Wiimotes To Run and Fly in Aion · · Score: 1

    Well I'd love to try this, but with up to 7 hour queues on the European servers (and this is the week before the full release), you've got more chance of your monitor flying out the window.

  9. Re:Someone aught to tell ORANGE on YouTube Phasing Out Support For IE6 · · Score: 1

    Ok so I can't even manage to get the title right.

    Orange it should be.

  10. Someone aught to tell O2 on YouTube Phasing Out Support For IE6 · · Score: 1

    Orange UK exiles Firefox from call centres.
    250 quid threat sends rogue reps back to IE6

  11. Re:Try YouMail... on Where Have All the Pagers Gone? · · Score: 1

    Yes, but it's also habit forming. Ring Ring, answer the phone. Beep Beep, read the text message. Pavlov's Dog, anyone?

  12. Re:I've got to say, I agree with this post on Where Have All the Pagers Gone? · · Score: 1

    I agree. I still have a pager. Hate mobile phones. My pager is for emergencies, network down etc. I can route urgent system notifications directly to it. It's not for my boss to ring me up any time he feels like, just because he can't get his home computer to print out a birthday card. Not sure this is any help as it's in the UK, but I get mine from here: http://www.pageone.co.uk/

  13. Re:Why Otherland? on Otherland MMO Announced · · Score: 1

    If you're worried by about reincarnation, then Richard Morgan's world in Altered Carbon would suit.

  14. Re:You know what's even more fun? on LOTRO Dev Talks About Bringing MMOs To Consoles · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Actually their ideal situation is probably that you keep paying WITHOUT playing (too much). That way their content doesn't get old so fast, the resources required to run the game aren't as high, etc. etc.

  15. Ironic on Richard Dawkins to Appear on Doctor Who · · Score: 2, Insightful

    " To quote Davies: 'People were falling at his feet ... We've had Kylie Minogue on that set, but it was Dawkins people were worshipping.' " Did anyone else notice the irony?

  16. Re:Good news, but how good? on NIN's Music Experiment Sells Big Numbers · · Score: 4, Informative

    Well as someone who paid the $5, but had the download fail every time after about the first 100 or so kilobytes, the torrent seemed to be the best way to solve the problem.

  17. Re:SFX on Serenity Trounces Star Wars · · Score: 1

    You say Star Trek and Stargate were fairly popular around that time but I don't believe that either had that big a following in the UK. Farscape and Buffy on the other hand had a bigger audience, as both started on terrestrial channels and therefore were available to everyone. Star Trek (Picard and crew) was only available on Sky (Pay Satellite), and if I remember rightly Stargate soon moved over to Sky from Channel 4. Also IMHO, Farscape (and to a lesser extent Buffy) seemed to mesh better with our outlook on life :) Maybe because we have more in common with our antipodean cousins than americans.

  18. Wii Too on Why Your SNES Turned Yellow · · Score: 1

    Same thing happened to the analogue controller on the top of the nunchuk. After about two hours playing Zelda, I noticed that it had turned bright yellow.

  19. Re:Sure it would matter on PSP Smashes Sales Records in the UK · · Score: 1

    Hmm, I thought the potential US and EU markets were approximately the same size - 780 million vs 760 million people respectively - dismissing a market just because you currently aren't exploiting it properly would seem a little short sighted.
