12.10 works fine for me on an old 1.4ghz core 2 duo laptop with nothing but onboard intel graphics, maybe you should try upgrading. Also it would be worth checking if there is a proprietary video card driver and using that if so e.g. https

I was 50/50 on posting this, because contrary to the point of the article it wouldn't work if stuff was universally valueless, but I made FreelyWheely ( http://www.freelywheely.com ) precisely as a means of getting rid of completely usable

absolutely. you should look for work on jobserve. i assume you look for php work? it pays less than js, which pays less than java, but a quick look at php contracts in london shows them between £300pd to £450pd - so as above, £40k for 6m

I think this is because 9/10 people really only have a handful of files (lets say < 50, ignoring photos because they are usually managed by a separate app) that they ever deal with, so one "My Documents" folder with a sort by date optio

This is just FUD. This is nothing to do with Tesla, and just the case with most battery chemistries. Even if the article is true, it has only happened to 0.2% of Tesla cars and it would be solved by a £15 solar charger. More relevant comm

you may have got me there; i was under the impression that the das was a buckling spring, but googling reveals that it isnt. But how does it compare for noise? <EDIT> Ah, according to Ars "How loud is this product? Very loud". So

I suppose it depends on your work environment, but yes, one at a previous employer ended up being the server room keyboard because of the noise.

by jsvaughan 14y ago
But the MS 4000 is the absolute best feeling keyboard, ergo or not (allowing for the fact that you can't in a normal situation use a model m or variant because of the noise). I defy anyone to name a better non buckling spring keyboard. Lo

I was disappointed to find out this was the 1993 MSDOS game Jetpack ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jetpack_(video_game) ), not the 1983 Jetpac from Ultimate Play The Game ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jetpac ). Probably reveals something

How can this post possibly be the top link? It is an article referencing a forum post referencing another article based on no fact whatsoever "Thus, if the Beijing rumor turns out to be true..."

The first bit of programming I did was to enter a listing for a bomber game on the zx81. This must have been around 1981 or 1982, so I would have been 5 or 6. Amazingly, thanks to the power of google, I think I have tracked down the listi
