Re: I see your problem

I appreciate the 'left' - correctly implies no change in state

Re: Joking aside...

And you too can find the IBM Company Song here - http://www.digibarn.com/collections/songs/ibm-songs/

Others available if you have the nerve….

Yup, my hands are still a patchy yellow, and as for the dog....

Re: Have an up vote, shame I can only vote once.

A politicians answer if ever I saw one

Re: Expected Outcome

Or the press forget about it.

Re: So?

Well it's a compromise. Too small a sensor and the noise reduces quality. To low a resolution and you don't capture enough information.

Many DSLRs have bigger sensors than their compact (or mobile) equivalent, and for an equivalent 'dpi' with a similar capture technology they will give better results.

But then marketing folkx had taught the great unwashed that resolution is all that ever matters.

No, 10x money buys much larger party political donations

Re: " I don't use the thing as a social crutch"

Well with my data plan (effectively unlimited), I tether my mobile and also use it as a very effective digital radio in the car for much of my driving and through headphones when on the train. All drains the battery without much in the way of crocheting.

Re: And for non-aviators

Depends what you mean by largely true. Surely German intelligence was such that they knew exactly what aircraft were being flown off the Arc Royal? What was reported however is that the aircraft attacking the Bismark flew so low that it is likely weapons could not be depressed sufficiently at their effective ranges.

I can assure you that in the UK at least cost is taken in to account. That's why you get f++++k all response to petty crimes

Re: Sadly not the case,

So why a down post with no rebuttal or is it a slow Friday?

Re: Competitors dead in the water?

A simple swap worked for us.

Re: Obligatory anti-fanboi tirade

"If the manufacturer of the tool you're thinking of buying is making over £10 billion squids profit in three months, surely one would start to question whether it's really good value, or just very, very over priced, no matter that it does the job."

But then they might conclude that they are both getting a decent deal, cost of ownership low (in many aspects) at a greater initial cost, Integration effort of the originating company (plus very smart marketing) worth the premium? Maybe not, but your winge is not wel thought out.

Yup

Re: Don't Forget...

Yes, Terry Pratchett's observations in 'Interesting Times' struck a chord with me while learning Mandarin (despite adequate - for a newbie, Cantonese)

Re: Computer Games Movies

Have to say I enjoyed tomb raider. Having said that the vast majority of my cinema experiences have been on all to frequent transatlantic flights. deadens the critical skills.

Re: Rafale?

I think you will find that only specific sections of parts of the commonwealth are in favour with UKIP and similar.

Re: Microsoft usually does..

Actually, despite some initial teething problems (overheating - which were dealt with by MS, post notional warranty), the XBox has been a decent platform. Decisions on charging for certain services that were free on the PS3 - maybe not so good. Their meece by the way were based on an HP technology.

You mean you have a geographically locaL library in the UK?

Re: I think I'm getting old :(

Actually 8.1 running on my son's Lenovo laptop/tablet is really quite OK.

Re: Creepy - Betrayal!!

Cats get away with murder. Large ones doubly so.....

Re: Ermmm...

Why not? Always gloriously and classically decorative - unlike Paris :-)

Re: 'drive like a christian'???

Jesus saves, but Bobby was a better captain.

Surely aa bag of acid on or in hamster? Where is QC these days?
