Re: 70kg is being kind??

Don't worry, I'm under by enough for the rest of you to average 70.0000012kg

Happy to help.

Re: I call bollocks on this

I was sceptical about this when I heard it on R4 and I'm surprised to hear that one reference recording could cover the entire grid.

As far as accuracy of the recording frequency is concerned though, I assume they look for patterns in the relative change of the recorded hum as it drifts up and down over the course of the recording rather than matching to the reference hum's frequency exactly. So long as the recording's sample rate was consistent they could compensate for it being out a bit?

Re: Useless numbers; pointless report

Does anyone have any figures on availability in Japan? I'm not doubting there's a drop-off outside the cities having seen some of the remote places where people live, but then again they do seem fairly prolific at throwing money at infrastructure projects even if only to keep the economy ticking over.

All I found from a quick bit of searching was an old article stating:

"Japan expects ubiquitous access for businesses and consumers to high-speed broadband by 2010 - the result of a four-year government programme designed to improve access. "

Have they managed it or are there still the kind of notspots we have in some places in the UK?

Re: NAND Type

I think the article tells you exactly what type of NAND is used - let me just check.

Yes, yes it does.

You must have missed the bit in the article which explained that the content of a spam message doesn't necessarily indicate the location of the computer used to send it.

Re: it's your job on the line...@handle

I've just logged in to Nationwide online banking with a code generated by a NatWest card reader.

None more black

I guess that since OLED pixels can produce zero light for black as opposed to LCDs which will never block all the backlight, their argument is that calculating the ratio between the on and off states involves dividing something by zero and that produces an infinitely high result.

Re: any other accelerator built by humanity

"So - not as powerful as ones built by non-humans then."

What makes you think the non-humans' particle accelerators must be more powerful? Theirs could be less powerful for all we know. Let's not assume inferiority eh?

In keeping with being taken back to my childhood, I'd just like to say I had the colour screen for my CPC464 so nur-nur-nur-nurrr.
