About 20 years ago I had some bad shit going on in my life and did the same. It was the most horrible experience of my life. I thought I was shitting snakes and they were then eating me. However I instantly stopped smoking, drinking and hav

Yes. It's about the end game, not the tools. I've found diesel engines and vehicles to be considerably more reliable and therefore less expensive. Fuel is between 5-7% more expensive here in the UK so things are good there. The ci

So was I at the time. It dented my confidence in politicians. This was then immediately followed by the expenses scandals in which one of the MPs I contacted was implicated. Three different MPs. The issues were about planning permission bei

That explains a lot. I get the principle of why this might be done but boy is it ugly. You'd have to maintain state between pages. State is bad. Which probably explains all those link expired errors...

Already got that. It's called the OS buffer cache. Dynamic generation - make!

Three times now to three different MPs. Gave up then. Glad you got something more.

This. Boilerplate reply and a permanent filing in the cylindrical filing cabinet awaits. If you're lucky, they'll use it to lean on whilst writing a cheque to the guy who just installed a duck house in their pond at your expense..

I get 58 solid. Prius is quoted at 50 here in the UK. If I'm on a flat road at 40-50mph (north circular) I can get a solid 80mpg average. Just have to stay easy on the throttle and not change speed.

Because they're all part of the old boys network. No other reason.

I'm someone who has put lots of C# into production and whilst you're right, caution has to be used when using LINQ. There are several humungous hand grenades that will go off in production unless you really 100% understand how it

Some good points there. Back before formalised sheet music we had a better timing resolution apparently. Lots of music was lost in the adoption. Some folk players I know tend to avoid formalising anything and just playing entirely by ear wi

There are millions of shit apps for reference... However there's this big one that comes with them all called a browser. It does all sorts. The only apps that have an advantage over this app are the ones that have at least partially di

You'd think so but I get 7mpg more than the best rated Toyota hybrid which is supposedly the most efficient thing out there. Bear in mind I drive a 6 year old 1.3L diesel Fiat van converted to a people carrier which is as aerodynamic a

Note: Europe doesn't spectacularly drive through shop windows, through petrol stations and car parks at least 5 times a day though (source: live leak, youtube etc)

That's fairly obvious I think. I'd expect that as Pentium M's were mobile class CPUs, they weren't expected to handle significant quantities of RAM and therefore didn't need PAE. I can't think of a single Penti

It depends on how sleep(3) is implemented really. Usually sleep means approximately one second resolution. If you start adding fractional second sleeps, say 1.5ms is required, you start moving into real time space at which point the kernel

Of course we read the Daily Mail occasionally. Well not the whole thing every day. That would be tantamount to bashing one's head on the ground until your intelligence quotient descends towards the dog and monkey end of the bell curve.

Depends what you're wiping with it ;) Thanks for posting a more balanced and altogether less scary sounding article with references.

Is there another source other than the daily mail i.e. one with an ounce of credibility?

I agree with you entirely. The problem is time and money, both of which aren't plentiful. Every file requires consideration individually to preserve it. As per most humans, I didn't bother to make a tradeoff when I picked tools fo

I have the same problem. I've spent the last few years tied into the Microsoft ecosystem. Decided to move to the Mac as I got a hand me down MacBook Pro. About 9 months in now, I'm pretty stuck. With respect to liberating data fro

Assuming that the platform is supported when the manufacturers have sold it. From experience with owning a few cars that are software driven (Fiat I'm looking at you), the manufacturer will disown electrical problems the moment it is s

I can't see this as a good idea. The vehicle will have a longer lifespan than iOS support resulting in an obsolete unsupported bit of car.

Just what I needed. Been writing an SSDP stack with the aid of wireshark and it's been painful. I'm on OSX so it's been a case of frigging around with XQuartz as much as anything else. tcpdump is just pleasure and power compa

Yes definitely aware of this. I ran wireshark on my workstation (MacBook) and had Windows 7 in a VBox virtual machine. The amount of network traffic it generates is insane. Prior to using the windows machine there was a little mDNS traffic

Small tip: Numbers is also free on Mavericks, even if it was just an upgrade installation. You just install the iWork '09 trial, reboot the mac and then use app store to update it to the latest version. However it doesn't read or

Not yet. I'm not a particular fan of Google's ecosystem for various reasons (or any cloud platform as a matter of fact).

I hope this doesn't involve intrusive advertising or tracking. Firstly we're all on a slippery path with that one but secondly can you imagine the increased burden of family tech support ? When relative X turns up with a $250 win
