   +1 for Roomba, I'm on my 4th one since 2002, for me it's worth it, I wipe down the tops while he scoots around, unlike many 'gadgets' it really does something I used to spend time doing.

    I've loved programming since I discovered it, while I'd love my daughter to share my passion I've been reading around and largely agree with this point, particularly poignant was a tennis forum, swathes of warning that if you

    Yes, I should have made the "Open Source" point clearer, I know there's a lot of history there and I am largely ignorant of it, the gist of it was that it's not fair to think anyone sitting around in 1970 would automatic

    possible technologically wise, but over exposure is a real aspect of artist management, often bands are contracted not to release music, to enable pent up demand to be released at the timing choice of the publisher.

    I get the feeling that a Cinema release before not too long will offer the options to see it with whichever leading stars you fancy, and get re released 5 years later with updates...

    Bush's key message was 'Augmenting Intellect', so personally his angle for me was intellectual and very educationally driven, Ted'd vision was far more inclusive of the wider world of media in general, for pleasure and e

    I tire of this same irrelevant point there always appears on Ted as if everyone else is running around shipping perfectly functional software, on time and on budget, like the NHS for example, which failed to build what was essentially a dat

    Open Source is a contemporary invention introduce by Eric S. Raymond in 1997, so any failure of Ted to utilise it is a bit unfair as he was living in a different era. For me the key take away from Ted is the democratisation of computer use,

    wrong, as in, false statement, there is evidence Ted has shipped software, your statement is wrong. "The other three actually build stuff that is now everywhere. Ted never got anywhere." This is patently ridiculous, it's like
