^^^ This

I think this will backfire on them. Many people sticking with older browsers will be doing so because they don't like having the UI messed around. Not updating these users to the latest UI for the website would seem to be exactly what they want.

I think Liam's point was to turn off just the sponsored ones. The settings turn of all tiles, including non-sponsored. As explained in the article...

Re: Pasteurized before you see it

Assuming linear acceleration from zero to 3600mph in 4 seconds it would have been 2 miles away.

re: That's not a mechanical keyboard. Cherry keycaps or GTFO.

Buckling springs also count...

(possibly not most people's first choice for games though)

Re: Not just FB please

preferably rusty ones.

Indeed. For me to save that much on my electricity bill the electricity company would be paying me.

Re: Given that this could cause crashes

Ignoring the fact that my title was mostly setup for a joke...

...yes you could hack the lights in a way that didn't cause problems. But that assumes that the person doing the hacking is being responsible. Except the really responsible thing would be to leave them alone. Get enough people messing around with them and someone will eventually decide that doing something silly in rush hour would be fun.

Re: separate recyclables and organics

For the sake of returning astronauts I hope at least some of the organics come back in a separate spaceship.

Re: bars

They're also less well known than the Mars ones.

Re: ive wondered why....

Er, modern AV receivers DO come with a mic and a test tone to set-up relative levels and timings to adjust for the speaker-listener distance. At least my Yamaha RX-S600 did (which isn't exactly a specialized high-end system).

Re: OK, so I was overly optimistic

I too have stuff older than 5 years old knocking around, but since most of my non-techy friends think my stuff is antique then I tried to guess at more typical time-scales. Perhaps I should have said this will start to be a good thing in 5-10 years?

Re: Why has it taken so long?

Er, it hasn't. Take for example this one from 2007 : http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_5310_xpressmusic-2087.php

(part of the clue is in the name).

re: Nighthawk. It not only sounds like a US military war machine

More like a slightly inept French resistance fighter and cafe owner: " 'Allo, 'allo, this is Nighhthawk. Can you hear me"

Re: No files ?

Is the registry not ultimately stored in a file?

Surely this only gives a short time where it won't be spotted. Scanners will just start to take a little longer once they're updated to start looking in the registry too, either via the API or by decoded the file(s?) it's stored in directly.

Re: only one way to fix this confusion about the day.

We request, nay demand, a BOFH episode tomorrow to get things back in synch.

Re: Close call...

Just imagine the trouble that would have been caused if it'd been B-52, not B-64 flying over certain countries.

Not any more, now they've somewhat overcompensated and have a drop in response in the mid-range (right around middle-C).

Either way : Buy Other Sound Equipment.

It's not just one Paypal account. It's all of them, or at least the ones in existence when Elon Musk (you know, the Space X bloke) had a significant involvement in its early days, from which he made a shitload of cash, which he then used to build rockets.

Re: main TV not available

Or if the main TV is occupied then go use the PC you're streaming from, which likely has a decent size screen of its own.

Re: Microsoft, please don't add a start menu ....

I don't think there will be a problem. Classic Shell works perfectly well on Windows 7, even though that has it's own start menu.

Re: Paper shortages

Earthdawn?

Re: unauthorized pr0n

You have authorized pr0n where you work?

Re: Black space craft? Whatever could go wrong

"That," he said, "that... is really bad for the eyes."

It was a ship of classic, simple design, like a flattened salmon, twenty yards long, very clean, very sleek. There was just one remarkable thing about it.

"It's so... black!" said Ford Prefect. "You can hardly make out its shape... light just seems to fall into it!"

The blackness of it was so extreme that it was almost impossible to tell how close you were standing to it.

"Your eyes just slide off it..." said Ford in wonder.

Re: Softer landing

Which would be fine if the water landings weren't just a test for future land landings. Stopping at the surface might cause some problems now, but saves having to re-calibrate and test everything again later when they don't want to be getting to the surface with significant velocity left.

#nevergiveupneversurrender

Not available on this occasion. From the hashtags these guys are using we're clearly talking Galaxy Quest, not Star Trek. So major problems are solved by a phone-call to the fans; which is pretty much what has been done to get this far.

re: Nostromo

Red Dwarf would also be acceptable.

Re: What about Folded Displays

or the return of the flip-phone, but with the screen covering both halves.
