    Some Important Laws

    Hybrid SSD (New type of affordable hard disk)

    Wouldn't surprise me if they just had a high amount of redundancy there with some sort of inbuilt mechanism for detecting failure... so if certain areas started to degrade, they could be marked as such, and the device could then bring some of the redundant space in to use.

    Phone to PC recorder

    Obviously, you either mean you'd use your microphone and only record yourself (pointless!), or use your microphone and the phone's speakerphone facility.

    Phone to PC recorder

    Even some crappy old dial-up modems can do this if you can get hold of the right software... Or you could bodge the end of the cable... but this is highly dangerous and not recommended: when the phone rings it's somewhere between 48VDC and 60VDC, depending on where you live... in the UK...

    Hello.

    Read? What's that? Seriously, though... Currently reading a book called Sniper One by Sgt. Dan Mills. Pretty good so far. Then I've got 3 Para by Patrick Bishop, Ed Macy's 'Apache', and Joint Force Harrier, by Adrian Orchard. I may have gone a bit overboard with the Amazon order! Still...

    The Big Bang!

    All the money that you have ever donated to cancer research charities... it doesn't go to find a cure for cancer. It goes in to looking for drugs to help people with cancer, but not to cure it. Think about it... All the pharmaceutical companies aren't going to want to make something to put...

    The Big Bang!

    Hey, think about it this way, if it doesn't blow up and is a success, there'll be no excuse for *****ing about death from the whole thing killing us all. If it all goes belly up and kills us all, there'll still be no *****ing about it going wrong. It's a WIN-WIN situation! And...

    Gamers in the Army

    The 360 controller is a bog-standard USB controller too. And anyway, my old Thrustmaster had a better joystick IMO. The Thrustmaster one didn't seem to have any sort of dead-zone whatsoever. 360's isn't bad.... not perfect though.
