Heh, I recently moved from an area covered by SWT back up north to Northern Rail territory. My physical experience on NR is much worse though (2 carriages at rush hour after the previous train was cancelled?!) but I doubt anyone can beat SW

I'm with the Co-op and as far as banks go, it's the best I've dealt with so far. Once you memorise the couple of keys to skip straight to a human they pick up straight away and have always been helpful. On the web though they are horrible.

And I don't watch half of them unless I'm bored and desperate for something, anything, to watch in a hotel room. They could put up a quick blurb and a trailer. I'll spend a few minutes on a trailer for virtually anything. Especially for a '

There was a decent BBC documentary from last month which covered the mechanism and the attempts to decipher it. On my phone now so this is the closest link I can find: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-17989915 but you can get

It appeared for me around the time I hit 500. Since then I only used it once and it didn't feel anywhere near as maniacal as I'd hoped.

I've used PhoneGap in the past and whilst it worked well enough for a basic CRUD-y app, I'm not so sure about games, especially given the webview is nobbled in comparison to the browser. I'm toying with the idea of building a game I never g

I gave a similar thing a whirl some time back. The fee was around the same I think but the first few people to sign up got a big discount (I was one). The names that came back were a bit underwhelming. From what I can remember it was a bit

As someone who recently had to deal with a system with two different (incompatible) SOAP services, I fully endorse the message behind this site. Luckily my exposure seems to be restricted to legacy and enterprisey stuff nowadays.

I hadn't noticed that. Not sure why they can't have the href point to the docs page and use JS to show the fancy menu if enabled. Then again, this is still a prototype. Hopefully someone will fix this before switching over.

I quite like it. I don't think it's too bad as a standalone site but compared the previous one, it's amazing . I do like the documentation menu. Similar to the way Codeigniter does it.

Yahoo is usually talked about as if it's a joke or a failure. According to a cursory check (ahoy - I'm no finance king so I could be reading this wrong) it's worth $19 billion . If I could fail half as well, I'd be pretty happy. Honest que
