I'm on an Asus EeePC 1000H and I adore it. I used to have another machine for gaming and other stuff but after I went about a year without turning it on I got rid of it. I like to plug mine into a larger external display and my wireless kb+

You've certainly given me a lot to think/read about. The weights are 10kg, so that's about 22lb I think. Still, I will be buying more equipment when I can. Where I am staying I don't have room for a bench, so I've been slightly limited in w

I used to subscribe to one last year, but I just wasn't reading the whole thing. It was a pain to go online and find out more information, to participate in any discussions or to lookup words or terms I didn't know. Then I got Google Reader

The wheels were rather impressive. I can't wait until they or something similar become the norm in personal mobility. Going to have the sweetest little scooter for going to the shops with when I'm much older.

there are strobe lights?? I missed that. I think you may have me beat, but I'm happy knowing that somewhere out there burglars are being terrified out of buildings by what is effectively a Disaster Area concert.

I'm no criminal, but I'd imagine they would use similar or even homemade versions of military/fireman gear. Surplus gas masks, oxygen tanks, scuba gear, a hose running out a broken window. As for getting around, very powerful handheld light

At my Uni (Australian) it seems I never get to work alone, more than half (maybe 4/5ths?) of all my work has been completed in groups. I have definitely been developing my teamwork muscles for the last two years. Although looking over past

it seems to have a pool of test cases for each one, if you test it a few times you can try your luck against some different ones (including your 3 blues)

Thanks man, always like honest advice even if it's from 'random internet strangers'. That sounds, well, amazing. I had a few ideas a short time ago but I guess I'm not really very confident about my skills yet. But it's going on the whiteb
