Re: In two minds about this...

This makes it temping to buy a few action men and cyborgize them for my sons......

Re: There's also ...

Three's offering is not perfect but it does work fairly well when needed, i'd prefer UMA though

Re: Wonders what planet has 18 hour days....

Just never travel, you must return home every night to charge your iPhone, iPad and iWatch.. so either three chargers or a single charger and a bunch of cables and rotate, still knowing at least one of your devices will not be at 100% in the morning

Re: @4ecks - If we can solve the power supply issue…

I hate filtering cyclists, they try to squeeze through gaps that they can't, meaning they scratch the cars!

next time you ruin the paintwork of a car, maybe stop and give your details for the repair bill!

Re: Maybe I'm I'm weird...

I think its worth it just for the kids channels, i can pretty much guarantee most of the programs will be educational as well as fun for my young kids on CBeebies and CBBC...

Re: Fact is

I would love it! they have been experimenting with that tech... enough emitters and you have the holodeck with no glasses!

Re: Built in battery, no SD slot, no waterproofing?

Nope its the thundering sound of Samsung owners moving to other brands.. I need a new phone this year and now Samsung have just likely lost my custom, built in Battery I can deal with, no MircoSD though, that is a deal breaker for me....

Re: Fixed networks are harder to mess with....

Same here, I would rather have ethernet as an option on any fixed device I buy

Re: "...on the shortlist to wear red shirts"

Red Shirts?

Why should they wear any clothes apart from space suits? they are unnecessary, plus it would make better TV :-D

Re: Amstrad

I once brought an Amstrad PC in the early 90's.. I returned it as not fit for purpose a few days later and brought an Amiga

Re: What about evidence ?

there is such as thing as post?

I can see you open a claim online, opposing party has the chance to resolve without involving anyone else, if not escalate to independent adjudicator, post in any evidence/scan and send also...

The problem I see is that the other party will still not pay up if they loose....

and innocents will be trolled for money, taken to court JUST to trick them into paying with threats of bailiffs....

Jaguars are made in the UK, designed by the British, built by the British, for the world...

Well they have JUST opened a Chinese factory to cope with demand, but they are LHD cars so we won't have to deal with the lower quality workmanship....

Jaguars are lovely cars, inside and out... I can't think of any other brand car I've enjoyed as much.

Re: rule 163

Rule 163? I'd be happy if they can get lorry drivers to follow rule 169...

Re: The simplest and best solution

But is it the best though?

A benevolent dictator can be better than a corrupt republic...

You can be free under a monarchy but oppressed in a democracy...

It matters not what the system is, it matters who ends up in power....

Re: Go (UK) Navy

BAE offered a STOBAR version of the Typhoon to India a few years back, we could go with those on our carrier.. but the F35B was supposed to be the cheaper option...

Re: What does have a more recent OS buy me?

Hopefully something other than the mess that is Windows 8.1

We will try!

Not sure what good it will do though...

BUT if anyone in IT votes for Cameron this time round? they need a cattle prod up the butt!

Myself I don't like my H2O too pure, I like my H2O full of minerals.

Re: All Ireland has to do

No, issue an arrest warrant for the judge.... Since they would be the one ultimately responsible for violating the law....

Re: My thoughts entirely...

"In the days of almost ubiquitous high speed internet"

I would like to know what world you are living in which has this almost ubiquitous high speed internet?

Sure in the UK I can rely on my 3G, and I have a decent provider so I don't pay a fortune for ever GB... but traveling? have you ever seen roaming charges??

Yes if your doing something that needs minimal data, its fine, but the cloud is only as good as your internet, and internet can be very very spotty...

Re: cheap fun BAC readers too inaccurate

taxis are great, unless you live 20+ miles from town.....

it is not, they said "a million people in its supply chain, finding that 93 per cent of the instances were compliant."

that means 7% were not compliant, which is 70,000 people were not compliant, that is a hell of a lot!

imho, even 60hours is too long a working week for anyone doing physical labour, especially anything repetitive, like assembling phones etc...

Re: If I'd wanted a connected game I'd play Eve

He means the 'mercenary pack' which was a 'buy it early get an advantage' option... gave you a free Eagle...

"There is a "solo" option, so you don't have to worry about PvP"

Not sure whether it was implemented, but from what I remember of the proposal, when your wanted your forced to play in Open Mode.. I.E. you can't grief then hide in solo mode...

Re: You guys are reminding me of children...

"OK, it would be nice if everyone calmed down. The feedback from people posting here is clear. As I've said before, you're treating the redesign as tantamount to physical assault, which isn't right."

It was an assault for many people, sure not physical, but mentally, an assault on the senses, surely a 'beta' site would have been the way to go, get feedback before giving the new site to the masses..

"All I can say is: we're working on it. If we rush out a change, everyone posting here will go apeshit again."

Just roll it back to a previous version while you work on it...

Re: Video conferencing

When I do travel by train to work, I always travel First Class, the amount of work I can do in that 40 minutes each way is amazing, it is pretty damned impossible to work on those tiny seats you get in cattle class..

Sure it costs more to travel, but worth it IF you can afford it..

Re: Old bangers rule

Or you could buy a luxury car now, that will run for 200,000+ miles (well if an old banger can handle 150k, surely a new car can handle 200+, and you can drive in luxury without a tracker...

but instead you drive an old volvo...
