For UK peeps my recommendation would be http://euronetworks.co.uk/acatalog/HDMI_Cables.html Really high quality cables, low prices. Confusingly named, it's UK based as I said.

Ok, I need to remove a device in the middle of the chain... Now what will I be disconnecting to make this happen? I hope it's not my external HDD 2 hours into a transfer with 30 minutes left to go.

This is not possible with the device as it stands BUT: A possible solution is to extend the multitouch area around the sides and back(to sense the grip) and cancel out any grip finger movements. So floating pointing finger still is sensed b

For your safety sake I hope you're not forking a userspace imager like imagemagick. http://dummyimage.com/640x480+--gravity+Center+--text+%60cat+%2Fetc%2Fpasswd%60 might not be too fun.

I've used clickatell a lot in the past (circa 2005-2007). I'd recommend them. Be prepared to fax them details to confirm some things. One minor frustration with them is that they have a division between their API account and their desktop

The article is particularly light fluff. But your counterpoints miss the mark considerably. . * Nasdaq Listings: Noteworthy. How many UK firms are there? . * Military Patents: What is less meaningful to you with them being military related?

It sounds like you're helping my point... thanks. ROM routines is a jump into known addresses... so no extra impact on the 1K. Parameters are read from registers. Color of 4bit? only a slight increase. Often acheivable in 1 instruction. Lim

He's not in the UK[1], but if he were selling would make a sensible choice. Here in the UK, capital gains of these types of transactions is taxed at 0% for your first £1M[2] and then at 18%. So if he sells it for $100,000, he'd get to keep
