How many others read GigaWatts and immediately thought of Back to the Future?!

cheers
They announced the 8.9 months ago and still dont have a release date.
For all the pain that comes along with the apple product launches at least when the launch they actually launch the thing.. to * gasp* sell
Dear Samsung, please remove thumb from arse and start selling some stuff..
The tablet I've been waiting for, hopefully will be the missing link from the weighty ipad to the short on features (admittedly by design) kindle
On their page
"this idea is a presstorm idea and only takes the name anon because of the Anonymity of the social network. "
Pretty clear to me
In one article its mildly clever, but in every single article that refers to psychiatrists it now only ever says 'trick cyclists'.
Drop the bullshit, please
As the last few octets (yes I know this isnt the defact name yet, but you know what I mean) of the IPv6 address is from the MAC address of the device, surely it will make it easier for operators to know what device is where.
Also it'll likely help them link mobile contracts with mobiles, tablet contracts with tablets
Not necessarily great for the users (based on the way we get screwed either way) but from a billing perspective it must better for the ops
Wonder if it needs an update?
I re-backed up 80GB 3 times with them before I gave up. they claim this doesn't Re upload but it still takes just as long.
move to humyo, uk based, a Tad more expensive, but you can use their tool which does full syncing, and one way syncing (stops this issue) and allows direct access to the data with your own client as well
some people just fuck off
You're going to see a lot more of this because of toss pot jobbs wanting everything written specifically for the iphone.
If this was written natively for the iphone its an entire rewrite to port to android et al, exactly what bad ol steve wants.
I was interested in going back to an iphone with the 4g (currently on nexus one - which is v good), but with this closed garden/wall/everything approach apple are moving to they are going to be too much of an apple only place.
.. and they were a doctor?
Not much more to say on that!
Check out the route map:

I'm fed up with on every machine I use I'm constantly bombarded to update what is only a pdf reader, why does something so mundane have so many holes that it needs almost constant security updates.
I'd love to not have to use it at all
I've been waiting for ages for a decent android phone to come along, and my iphone 3g is feeling long in the tooth.
I'm all for google until they truly turn evil, at which point I'll have to do a 'Lily' and cease to be online, cause they will know too much by then!
Pretty much sums it up!
Class.!
Ok I read the story earlier, but bugger me - thats some pretty shit hot stats it can kick out if you feed it the right info
If this was in blighty that fat wanker Bob Crow would have the tube on strike for a week for the terrible treatment of one of his dahling boys.
Finally some more Android handsets coming, will get HTC to up their game
I'm about to leave o2 (and my iphone) because of o2's bloody awful network.
Now another decent handset will get ruined by their god awful 3g network.
Fed up with visual voicemail just not working, and crap signal.
I've already started the process to cancel.
"Math fail" = English fail, its 'Maths fail'.
None of this US of A spelling on here please!
....will people leave broadcasters along, soon we will have to return to re-runs of 70s sit coms because everything else is just 'too' edgy.
Its all bollocks.
Heartwarmingly lovely!
Compare them to any other dual driver sets and you will find this is at least half market price
Wireless is cramped, slow and doesnt go through walls terribly well.
Homeplug is the future, simple, scalable and every device (bar laptops/pmp's which will keep wirelesS) needs a plug.
Paris:/ because even she knows wireless is crap!
Cheaper (Dell has shite spec) and great interface (front row)
The amount of bandwidth the public can use is tiny and its stuffed full of stuff - how fast/slow is your wireless network at home?
Homeplug is brilliant and means that all devices plugged into the 240v mains are on the same network, with no interference from neighbours.
As all tv's/dvd's/media centres need to be plugged in its the ideal interface
Im imaging having your ps3 plugged into the wall, then you plug your tv, and both devices show up on your home network - thats how home networking should (and almost does) work
<random though>
Reason I ask is that every DARPA based story gets a great random babbling intro - exactly like The Stig on top gear!
</random thought>
Clearly if the user has vista and has uac turned on then it wont get installed anyway because vista is so secure.
Oh, sorry, maybe not!
I was on the site @ 8.20 and had to try 5 times, but managed to get an order confirmation...now heres waiting to see what/if anything arrives on friday!
Interesting they will let you see microsoft, apple et all...but it wont let you look at google.com stats, very interesting!
Doesnt this look like Phorm would almost be perfect to monitor this type of activity?
I had vista for 3 months, ended up ebaying my PC and now have a Mac, lovely!
No I'm not a fanboi, but it is just better!
I spend Easter in New Delhi and from seeing what a lot of people have (some of the worst poverty in the world) good bloody luck to them being able to kick start their economy and join the rest of the 'first' world.
Who would ever buy a PMP when you can pick one of these babies up, screen is just as big and you can do a hell of a lot more than just watch movies!
Archos et al are dead!
Yes it is an issue hence on optical networks you will find ILA (In line amplifiers) and ILR (In line regenerators) every 70kms or so. These are swapped dependant on the overall distance covered between the main bits of kit at either end.
The ILA's just bump up the signal and the ILR's reshape the signal from a more wavy curve to be a more square binary light pulse.
Interestingly the speeds keep increasing for the end cards year on year however the ILA's and ILR's keep handling the increased speed as they are relatively non-complicated bits of kit. Remember that those lovely fibres across the pond also need these things, so you will find them under the sea every 70ks or so and they have been doing this for quite a few years.
Isnt it more 'Watt' current do they output....coat being put on as we speak!
Interestingly when I was about 14 I made one of these from a disposable camera, just take some handy cable from either side of the capacitor and you've got a lovely stun-gun. If I remember right if the discharge wires were too close together they would also give a nice skin burn as well!
I think it should be friendly persona, just someone had a few too many shandys before writing the ad!
....'you fcking what'?!
What docile bunch of thick bastards come up with this crap?
It takes long enough to get through airport checks when simple things like 'shoes' aren't allowed to go unchecked (did you read about the shoe bomber plot, or even seen a photo of that idiot?), how they hell are they going to cope when they have to get a multimeter out to measure how much oomph is in each device?
I'm all for safer skies and don't want to fall foul of some terror plot, or dodgy Sony battery but seriously, we need to weigh up the likelihood of these things actually being an issue.
I can see that this is done by OS, and therefore OS independant browsers are not on the list.
Opera Mini has been around for ages and is used by many, I'm sure it would be way above the iPhone
By saying "It also claimed the adaptors would be handy for people setting up a network on shared mains wiring and who want to avoid other folk snooping on their data"
Wouldnt that mean that anyone could buy one of these, plug it into the socket and hit the button and then join the network?! That looks pretty unsecure to me?
...to the register....now theres a f&cking surprise!
I love the way ISP's just moan about customers wanting to use their networks to capacity!
How can people moan about the BBC IP services when the BBC has a free and open peering policy? The ISP's don't have to pay a penny for 1Gb/s+ direct peer to the BBC, so what are they moaning about?
The download service behind iplayer is Kontiki which is a p2p system anyway, so once enough people have downloaded the content it will start flowing from other users on the same network.
I could understand the ISP's moaning if the service was hosted in the states and they had to pay for transit to access it, but as its for free their just whining.

Perhaps the council should have spoken to Staffordshire county countil and asked them for some of their own home brew software?
