  1. New toy on Pandora Console Ready For Pre-Orders · · Score: 2, Informative

    I bought the GP2X when it came out as a portable media player/ games machine. It sucked batteries dry at an alarming rate and has sat in my drawer unused after about the 4th set! I have an Eee900 (20Gb Linux) which I like quite a bit - it can play Urban Terror quite well, has loads for me to fiddle with (mods, software etc) and cost me about £50 more than this Pandora. So why do I want a Pandora?? Small, battery life... Anything else?

  2. Re:A few questions on EBay Abandons Plans For PayPal Monopoly · · Score: 1

    Paypal tried to screw me to the tune of nearly $1000 USD after goods failed to arrive. When I got my bank to pay me my money back, Paypal sent debt collectors after me!! So, 'Yes' - PayPal is a bad thing.

  3. Domestic flights on British Airport Will Require Fingerprints From Domestic Passengers · · Score: 1

    We need them due to how congested our roads have become and the deplorable state of our rail network.

  4. I had to explain to a 'National' political 'Party' on UK Government Can Demand You Hand Over Encryption Keys · · Score: 1

    When this law came in I had to explain to a representative of a 'British' election candidate for a 'National' political 'Party' who had experience of the UK Police seizing computers with details of local members, funds etc. I explained how online email accounts worked and how to use them to store data, a system I have used for backups of important files since before 9/11 as there is little chance of major online providers losing all their data. Erase data from a HDD? I thought that's what magnets and microwave ovens were invented for!!!

  5. Not allowed to be Lara?? on MMO Bans Men Playing As Women · · Score: 1

    I wonder how Blizzard would have coped with the Tomb Raider franchise??!

  6. Not too bright on MMO Bans Men Playing As Women · · Score: 1

    Could you imagine these idiots being in charge of the Tomb Raider franchise??! lol

  7. Family on A Retrospective on Planescape Torment · · Score: 1

    PST and Fallout were very similar IMHO. They are probably two of the very few games I played through to the end and thoroughly enjoyed. I bought Fallout 2 and Tactics, Baldur's Gate 1 & 2, NeverWinter Nights on the back of Fallout and PST but they failed to compell me to continue after a few hours.

  8. Re:And I think Yahoo does the same on Hotmail Delivers Far Fewer Emails with Attachments · · Score: 1

    I mean mails with attachments sent to me, not by. Sorry

  9. Nothing new on Hotmail Delivers Far Fewer Emails with Attachments · · Score: 1

    yahoo has been automatically sending all my emails with attachments to my Trash folder for about 2 years now. It's also decided that ALL my email from my sister is Trash - even though I have set 2 seperate filters to put it in a seperate folder. nb. I have emailed webmaster@yahoo.com half a dozen times complaining about these issues and haven't even had a reply!!

  10. Re:why am I not surprised on Apple Sues Over iPhone Smartphone Skins · · Score: 1

    Well, if I didn't have to wait 10 months for it... I mean, I would be happy to click a 'Buy it Now' button and wait for a week for the postman to knock on my door but 10 months before it's in the UK??? Chances are, Sony Ericsson wil have something better out by then so Apple will have missed me as a customer...

  11. Interference on Study Says Cell Phones Can Interfere With Planes · · Score: 1

    If mobile phones interfere with GPS, how can Mitec release a phone with built-in GPS??? http://www.supergps.co.uk/mio-a701-integrated-gps- handheld-mobile-pc-p-375.html?gclid=CIa_6J2SvoMCFU l4EQodfkJ2Dg

  12. Re:What's the big deal over this? on .xxx Domain Remains in Limbo · · Score: 1

    I used to run a few dozen adult advertisement sites (to put it politely..!) and a few of us were discussing the need for .xxx and also for .kid sites. That way you have 2 good filters for online searching. Anyone found promoting adult material on a .kid site would get hauled over the coals. I didn't get a lot of support from a lot of the adultwebmaster community...

  13. Re:Why would I use this? on Glide File Sharing Service Debuts · · Score: 1

    Agreed - if I have no credit card I'm not welcome?
