I like to look on high end headphones as I would any other luxury item - I'm willing to pay for nice materials of a higher quality or a better experience, if the item is right. That could perhaps explain some of the price - plus I thin

The Republic of Ireland has two official languages Irish and English. Irish is the first national language as it is both culturally important and distinctive - though English is the dominant language with 93% of all people in the country sp

Not to support or stand over business practices I disagree with, but surprisingly the little £9 Lightning DAC/amp they ship with the phone/sell is rather good. I've run plenty of higher end headphones and IEMs from it without

LTO5 is out of date, the prices you're seeing reflect there being a small but consistent demand for enterprise customers needing to purchase these to read LTO5,4 and 3 tapes and to replace failed out of warranty drives . The latest ver

I'd love to see an x86 HP-UX build running on a Z workstation. absolutely not going to happen but still.

That's quite a ridiculous sight in my opinion. I'm imagining that person trying to bring that thing aboard the tube in London.

I've encountered this a few times - Frequency Illusion, also known as the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon. Where something appears with improbable frequency shortly after discovery. It's a pretty weird phenomenon isn't it?

It even manages to be brighter than White light.

I have a hatred of blue LEDs on household equipment, they always seem to be significantly brighter than their red/green/orange counterparts. For example: If I need to leave my computer running overnight running a job, I have to ta

The UK has a nice catch all for such things in addition to the EU laws; From the 'Sale and Supply of Goods Act 1994' ~~~ For the purposes of this Act, goods are of satisfactory quality if they meet the standard that a reasonable p

The Doublethink is real here isn't it? I note a similar thing here in the UK - most of the folks working 'gig economy' or more accurately 'single person zero guaranteed hour contractor' jobs are doing this stuff ful

This is not necessarily the case; The Mac OS X desktop metaphor does attempt to solve this somewhat, the last application in focus on a particular monitor, is presented within the menubar on that monitor - regardless of whether or not the p

I liked the startup sound, however if i've hosed my OS and I'm rebooting frequently during the troubleshoot it could get quite irksome to people nearby.

That has to be a deliberate choice on the part of Microsoft.

yes it does indeed - it operates in much the same manner - set by the clock or manually enabled.

A neat function of OS X's menu bar is that all menu bars in other displays are slightly greyed out if it's not got the in focus application displayed. There is a 'Primary Monitor' setting - this determines the window pre

Is it not the case that many of the 'designer' brands selling expensive watches are also using the same cheap watch movements too - Michael Kors I believe is one such name (though I may be wrong)

Personally I’d call myself an fdisk/gdisk person - I like the safety net those programs provide by staging disk changes prior to committing to the MBR/GPT, if I’m doing things by hand this is my preferred tool. I don’t like how pa

Electricity consumption is traditionally metered per kilowatt hour, that is the amount of energy used sustained over the course of an hour. I believe this is what the GP was referring to - the sustained usage of 300-600W over the course of

Looking at the article - this is related to the Cellular modems in their telephones as opposed to the CPUs running in their Macintoshes. Judging by Apple's success in creating powerful low energy ARM processors I'd be quite intere

I remember that quite painfully, I was an ulster bank customer back then. albeit I was fortunate enough to be a broke student with not much going in or out of my account then.

It's a good question - I don't think there's a currently a competing headphone in it's category (Portable, closed back Planar Magnetic driver) that's been as well received, other than perhaps the more expensive Aude

A shame, I am a big fan of their PM3 Headphone and it’s companion amplifier the HA2. I was hoping they would be developing these two further. Both were well received by the audio crowd at large.

GPLv3 appears to be the reason for shipping that ancient version of bash. If you look Apple ship a modern version of ZSH with their OS, I believe because it isn’t affected by the same potential licensing issues.

Wow I had no idea that tool existed. Getting hardware acceleration working was the main reason I replaced my R9-390x with a GTX1070.
