Or textpad. I regularly edit 400Mb files in that no problems at all, running macros and all sorts. Shame it is unicode challenged though :(

Am I the only one that doesn't like anything that Dolby has been near? Sounds 'wrong'.

Exactly that. Only some of the mechanisms need to be destroyed.

It's the arse end of the ranking but the rate of growth is scary and that's what matters.

That is merely human nature. Humans in quantities more than one aren't trustworthy even if their initial intentions are good. Bad solutions attract bad people eventually. That's what happens in that 6 months...

No I mean nationalise as in transfer from private to state ownership or control. Most of the UK was nationalised at some point in time but I had a stab at how successful centrally planned economy was in East Germany from the worker's p

Those two points are 100% factual. The benefits cap reduction paid for people who are working to have their personal tax-free allowance raised and decreased the reward for not working ergo they are helping working people by providing tax re

I'm playing "with the big boys" i.e. 500 million market cap enterprise financial. I'm not sure why I do this other than it's easy to disappear into the noise occasionally and put my feet up. In fact if we disappeare

Agree. After 15 years of using smart phones right back to Palm Treo things WP is the only platform that is depressingly boring and entirely uneventful. And you know what, that's why I use it. It just works. I've been left in the p

Got a Tassimo here which is a barista in a box I.e. similar. The killer for me isn't the quality which is 90% as good as my local shop but the lack of hassle - it requires virtually no maintenance or cleaning unlike a grinder/mach

Yeah that was where I started with the idea and then decided to see if I could dope some silicon to make a diode then move up to transistor level, then a simple IC. You could knock up a point contact diode or even transistor without too muc

Indeed. I tried to make a transistor with the reverse side of a pile of 74LS IC dies I extracted with solvents, household chemicals and a blow torch. I managed to make an acceptable diode that lasted about 2 minutes at a mere 200uA of curre

Neither. Just get a job at GCHQ and proudly do a bad job.

You're right. However don't expect any sympathy from those of us who do understand and have fought against it where possible any more. The citizens of the UK have hanged themselves over and over again simply due to idiocy, media i
