I'm still running multiple CNC/Industrial equipment with win3.1/98/xp. Only just retired one running Dos 6.2

holy crap, thanks for the memories! I remember bamboozle, and also, I think on Channel 4, the "Tea Time Quiz", where you had to answer a question and be the first to phone in the correct answer, I remember winning on a couple of occasions!

fallacious appeal to authority as your only defence? cool story bro.

yet you argue against bigotry with our own bigotry?

bigotry: intolerance towards those who hold different opinions from oneself.

seems you may be a sufferer too.....

but its fine for you to spread your prejudicial views of his religious beliefs? pot, kettle? And just because someone doesn't agree with your view doesn't instantly make then [x]Phobic, its quite possible to be against something without hating on it, im sure most people who hold views similar are not scared of or hold intense hatred to those in same sex relationships, just like i don't like mushrooms, doesn't mean Im a funghiphobic.

Get to know your local saw doctor, most of us are happy to give recommendations, tips and the like. We often have good quality secondhand tools for sale.

This is awesome! But, for me, totally unplayable! Being colourblind I just cannot differentiate the different shades of the lighter greens and the yellows. I so wish I could play this as it looks and feels amazing.

Please guys, make it stop. I need to work. I need to sleep. I need to eat!! I have no idea wtf I was doing but this is by far the best! This dam game is worse than heroin....

Im still running 3.1 on 4 machines at work (slightly related to OP, we sharpen the bandsaws!). The thing is that the company that makes the machines is well known for their extortionate prices, so for us to update is not feasible. We just installed newer machines for everything else so the crappy old 3.1 boxes run only what they must to keep the machines running. I would love to try setting up a newer pc to run these machines, but there is so much propriety hardware and software in there that I keep putting it off for another day!

So true, saved so much hunting time by using the satellite maps! Especially the nano's in the middle of cities etc!

What's going on with the blog post? Completely unreadable from my device, every time I zoom in that annoying black bar on the left grows to epic proportions and covers most of the content!

most non-casual users (ie geeks like us) would know how to get what we want (vanilla ICS). I don't see a problem, they are keeping the casual users happy with no major changes, but know that the tech savy will easily manage to just install a pure ICS if thats what they want.

I'm assuming you have some sort of evidence to back up this conjecture with?

Already signed up to that! Also saw the link on that page to codecademy.com, so might take a look at that too.

I do believe i may have a copy of that book somewhere in my "to read someday" pile :)

Thanks, gives me some things to think about.

I clicked one, looked at what permissions it wanted, and had an idea! You can set the default sharing settings while giving permission, so I simply set it to only share with myself! That way I can click the links, read what i like, and only I will see the links on my wall.

Some of us radio hams still whistle up a repeater station instead of sending the (normally) 1750hz tone to activate it!

Does this mean that BT will no longer provide NNTP access? I've always laughed at ISP's chasing pirates while giving access to the material themselves!

Many Anonymous are HN readers. You cannot define Anonymous, we are all Anonymous.

have you tried putting him into "auto moderation"? that way, if his intelligence level is as low as it seems, then he may believe that his is posting, even though no one else can see it ;) it has worked for me on occasion in the past!

several others listed too if you check sellers other items ;) owning these would be truly awesome!

simple, ring vodafone, ask for unlock code, input code, win!

you could also read the FAQ posted to you on the forum you linked.

True, but Gray is for measurement of absorption by ANY material, Sievert is for measurement of absorption by biological material, so you would also need to apply the tissue weighting factor to the gray/hr measurement.

would be more useful if it were to shout measurements in sieverts/hr rather than Gray/hr, but I can understand that would be a hell of a lot more complex ;)

Interesting all the same.

reddit is that way >>>>

yeah, might be time i upgraded :p

900mb? in the UK? on data? only if you try for a few months. data here is so slow its painful. But fairly cheap ( i pay £5 ($10US) for 1gb a month.

All you can do is complain, and complain hard. Its bullsh*t and they know it.

https://www.hover.com/ always been good to me (i like the fact that ALL they do is domain reg)

Absolutely Awesome! Love Carcasonne and love Lego ;) yes, i'm a big kid! ;)
