Right. I don't think it's a stupid aim to have. All you need to do is make an OS, that is stupidly easy to use... I still see people flounder over windows. I put Salix with a bare …

Sounds like you are in a sea of technology! Nice point though.

I'm running Gnome Classic as I don't fancy Gnome Shell at the moment. And it's nearly there for me. My quit applet hangs my machine, my cpu applet has redraw issues. And nautilus a…

I find network-manager takes more time than anything else getting a foot hold onto my wireless network. Other than that Debian Wheezy, with Gnome Classic is pretty good for me on a…

I think that there is middle ground to be had, with some sensible defaults, and sensible configuration options. Make it good for the mouse, good for touch and good for keyboard! An…

Is that Ubuntu specific? I'm running Debian Wheezy with an Intel GM45, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that hot plugging of my monitor worked. I'd read in the past, that tha…

I don't fancy hostname clashes.

What a load of rot. You're better to advertise something generic such as 'visit the website.' or 'find us online', rather than a barrage of non memorable domain names and various s…

pepsi.com or www.pepsi or site.pepsi or brand.pepsi. You've then just got a multitude of hostname parts to guess - which is more confusing.

Thought it might be better to sniff the device resolution, but apparently the ipad3 lies! http://www.priteshgupta.com/2012/04/detecting-ipad-3-for-spe...

Might be just as well to sniff the user agent.

Would it be better to sniff the header? Accept: RETINA Something like that, at least then you could turn it off in the browser.

I thought it might have been inspired to mimic a cursor blink. But no.

Semantically it might have been better authored as the 'pester' element, with blinking being one implementation.

Thanks for this. I wonder how this interferes with on device picture optimisation - scaling etc. The leather always put me off the chumby.

I must add then that it was just below 0 degrees C! Don't fancy minus eighteen at all.

That's pretty cool. I was thinking about something similar. Just the ability to easily blend video signals. Say two inputs on the TV. It would be good to then plugin a 'computer' s…

I didn't know you could do this, faster loads would help. But by the time you've done this you may as well just run some web services/pages.

Agree - why so slow? Would be nice to see an open implementation here. I was kind of thinking that Google Tv might be that. But you really need the ability to overlay the picture. …

You could use solar water heating as a vector to trap the suns heat in an underground heat store, that you then release at night. How cold does it get? Edit: I just tried to find o…

I like the idea of taking the water back out the sea and placing it in underground aquifers. Some are are seriously depleted through industrial agricultural farming. Would be nice …

I doubt you'd care for hot water in the dessert. You could just fill a black bag. Cool clean water is probably preferential.

Nice, and I thought this was good: http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningzone/clips/living-without-water...

Agreed, so annoying. Tried in Google Chrome on Debian Wheezy AMD64 with Intel GM45. Place feedback and alternative links at the top of the page also. Otherwise users are just left …

I was so looking forward to a more 'web like' replacement for Ceefax/Teletext, to augment broadcasts. I never use the digital TV red button as it feels even slower than the 70s tec…
