Re: Wimbledon 2010

Is there something a bit odd about the fact that the french player went to a fifth set 24-22 in qualifying?

2^6 all at the moment ;)

Re: Newzbin gone

:( Must have been a member for 8 (?) years.

Very sad.

Same old argument - how come you can find torrents for copyrighted material on Google and that's ok, but a service that finds articles for content on usenet isn't OK?

Re: RMD: fast BBC iPlayer proxy

I use tvproxy. Works well and has been very reliable - one outage in 6 months for which all users got a free credit. It's not just for Iplayer, you have the live streamed channels as well.

I pay tv licence here in Sweden, so don't feel too guilty about not paying for the BBC as it is not possible ...

Re: why it's Important That Software Fails

Interesting article and certainly borne out by my experience (15 years in LOB applications development).

Increased sophistication in system functionality leads very often to more bureaucracy rather than improved efficiency.

Ah, I see it isn't available here...
The app will be available in the UK, Ireland, France, Italy, German, Spain and Australia.

I'd be careful.

I think there might be a reason why there aren't any fish and chip shops in this neck of the woods. (I live in Sweden and did think about the classic English chippie as one business option when I came here from Britain) People here don't eat deep fried fish and I think they might ...

About two years ago the ATI card's fan started making a terrible racket. I unplugged the fan and the PC has been on constantly ever since.... still waiting for the card to fail.
Run a 3D application and it probably will within about five seconds.

Still use it for video capture occasionally and ...

I have a nearly 6 year old PC with a Radeon 8500 AIW card. It used to be the main internet connection sharing machine and is still always left on as it runs some apps on it.

About two years ago the ATI card's fan started making a terrible racket. I unplugged the fan and the PC has been on ...

0044 + your number minus the first zero ?

The 00 prefix is for calling internationally within the UK.

You want to call +44 (+ being whatever the international dialing prefix of Finland) then minus the zero from the front of your number, and dial the rest.

For example:

07123456789

Years ago, there used to be a corner of the office where this used to happen, apparently it was the nearest corner to the electricity sub station just outside. The nutter used to sit in that corner. (hi shane!)

It'll probably be a few impossible to deal with scenarios.

Mute the PC first, there's music in the background that can't be killed by any other way I can find.
Just click the stop button in the browser once it starts.

Is the rebuild of the app going to be in .Net 2 ?
If so you might want to think about the support that SQL Server 2005 is going to give versus going Oracle.

I have managed classic ASP + Sql Server system development in financials for a specialist software house, and to be honest the SQL server bit ...
