    I could have written that. I'm in a (some would say privileged but it isn't) situation where money just falls into my bank with little effort by myself. (Shareholdings.) I am at a …

    I've certainly been caught out in that regard before. But a 'advanced options' ability with a stern warning would be useful to many.

    Yes, as you say. The beauty of the Pi is the fact you can have a variety of SD cards with different OS/Configurations and easily swap between them and play with them. It is a very …

    They take it all very seriously! In January 2004 I took my mum to Disneyland Paris. Someone had accidentally left their luggage next to the belts below the customs booths. The airp…

    The thing is, it's not just the financial cost of a theft, it's the emotional and practical cost too. Having had 5 laptops stolen in one hit - because I was updating staff that wee…

    People viewing your views and cause, I guess. Due to the worlds media being very selective about what appears, and the tone or context in which it is written, sometimes this is the…

    I was going to post the same thing. Hope Stripe get there first, as I'd like to support them over Mastercard.

    I feel for what you mean here. Personally I hate the PS3 controller as it's too small, I much prefer the xBox 360 controller and especially if it has the keyboard attached to it. A…

    The progression of UO over time is not unlike that of most computer games over a longer period: We used to have 3 lives, and pixel perfect jumps. Not a "100 life" buffer with healt…

    It's a good concept if your Internet connection is reliable.

    You can't hide API's :-) I took apart the Disney Parks App as I was frustrated at the fact the full information therein was only available if you're physically inside the park. Fir…

    That has many complications. If he gave the amount in shares, they have the shares and could sit on them. This may have problems with shareholders voting rights and such like. (Whi…

    Some good points. But surely they should have been sent a warning, even a 24 hour one, to remove some content before just being wiped off the Internet. This action is business dest…

    I did last October, from the UK. Cracking price. The one main memory I have is leaving my iPhone, with my hotel room key-card inside the case, in a Taxi. The driver searched for me…

    I think Andrew might mean the ability to see changes in a non-visual fashion. IE: Layer 2 removed, Layer 3 Blending mode changed. Someone was working on a .js PSD file parser, whic…
