   Thanks, we're very excited about the camera add-on too. We'll be producing replacement layers that are used with the base Pibow case to accommodate it if there is enough interest!

   As Paul said, feel free to get in touch. If you fancy having a chat on the phone then drop me your number and I'll give you a ring. (My personal e-mail address is in my profile).

   Turns out we messed up the shipping rates, if you order we'll be happy to refund the difference or just get in touch and we'll be happy to handle your order in person :)

   Could you try again? I think I've found the right setting - thanks for the heads up!

   Thanks :) We were really bored with the selection of cases coming out and thought we could make something that was a better reflection of the concept behind the Pi.

   I've just started getting into Elastic Search for a project I'm working on. Coming from a couple of years using Solr it is one of the best and most exciting pieces of tech I've played with in ages. I hope this announcement doesn't change an

   I agree that ideally it would be formatted the English way (being an English language article and this being an English language site) and agree that ambiguity is a bad thing but I think the context makes it pretty clear what the intended m

    I really don't think it's very important that it is though. Whether their JS engine two (ten?) times slower than another won't really matter for the majority of browsing. They've really improved the rendering engine and standards support bu

    Because airspeed is relative to the speed of the air around you (not relative to your position on the earth). The pitot tubes (which caused the initial problem by icing over) are there to determine exactly that.

    I appreciate this is not a scalable way to handle requests but I was specifically looking for domains starting in "fl" and you had none. So if you think it's worthwhile, please add it :)

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninety-ninety_rule My point was really that people often look at something and think "Oh that's easy!". But when you actually get to the real depth of the problem it's much much more complicated and fiddly and

    I reckon you could get the first 90% done in a couple of days sure... The last 90% would probably take a few months though!

    I actually think they are putting this up head to head by making people ask the question about whether they should bother spending the extra £200 on an iPad. Tablets are very much a luxury item, no one really needs two of them. Essentially

    It's also 3" smaller, shorter battery life, much lower resolution, and maxes out at 16GB of storage. I suspect Google has priced this very competitively (low margins) specifically to compete with iPad by offering something half the price. I

    These are great! Have you any plans to provide a package including everything for a single price? I'd definitely be interested...

    Same here, one at work and one at home. Crummy (cheap) construction, but a truly stunning panel. Couldn't live without the extra real estate or an IPS panel anymore.

    Willy, I've tried e-mailing you through your about.me site, but it seems to get stuck on "Sending..." (and showing the spinner). The message I sent was: "I'd be very interested in any data you might have of this type (to overlay on a 3D mod

    Can't you just set the automatic hibernate timer to something reasonable? It would auto wake when the keyboard/mouse is used.

    A lot of apps will take more memory than they need so they can keep more data "live" and be more responsive when they need to perform actions. If you ran the same set of apps on a 2GB machine you'd get different numbers.

    So long as you have an SSD and enough memory the startup speed really comes down to how the OS handles sleep/hibernation - it's a software problem.
