Maths : 5/5 Spelling : 4/5 Omissions : 4.5/5 American-iness : 3/5 Brevity : 5/5 Overall : 21.5/25 Sorry, couldn't resist! ;) .

I'm tempted to pick up the bait ........but no, I'll leave you to your own views on this one, as you have every right to. ;) As for the experiment, well if you read the stories in the links I posted, you will see that they are only doing basic tests on the equipment at the moment. The actual...

The only thing I might suggest then is that you use a different url shortening service if you don't want to exclude the large proportion of potential visitors who use ZoneAlarm. I don't use short url's much (though I have used www.smalllinks.com to put an email link on a website with some...

Hi sohailamir52. Did you know that the links you have in your signature to tinyurl.com sites cause problems for people running ZoneAlarm Security Suite? As soon as the page with your sig in it loads on screen, their PC beeps a warning, pops up a spy-site message, & blocks the user from visiting...

I don't really understand your explanation. Surely you need an account to receive payment for posting? And if you have an account, surely your can spare $0.01 of your own, to spend on these services you want (rather than "earning" it by posting). And you'll still be no better off with services...

Ah yes, I've just tried it in Firefox & the links page displays OK now. I'd previously tried it in Internet Explorer, & the Links page was blank. My privacy & security settings were set to ~medium, but no doubt something was being blocked there. You may want to look into that - most people...

Except for the fact that (as far as I can see) the links page is completely empty!

Succinct : I agree! Less Succinct : I agree, but............rather than say I don't approve of spending such a large amount on this research, I prefer to say that my understanding of the science is so limited compared to that of the scientists involved, that I will leave the judgement to...

I wouldn't have thought there'd be a problem providing a link, since you are only recommending their registration services, not webhosting. You could always put a reminder with your tip that people should redirect their nameservers to x10 (ns1.x10hosting.com / ns2.x10hosting.com) for their...

This offer seems a bit flawed ; I guess that in some countries $0.10 (10cents) maximum payment is worth working for, but not in many. I didn't know that PayPal would allow payments of such low value. Wouldn't any PayPal fees (especially cross-border fees) be higher than the actual...

You're right, it is sad - of YOU to still hold this narrow minded view after all that has been discussed in this thread. Clearly you have learnt nothing! Still, you are telling others how they are wasting money when you happily admit you get lots of expensive "stuff" you don't need in order to...

:stupid: Peejay, we are on the same wavelength - you have read my mind! Another example I often think of, to illustrate the problem is that of glasses (spectacles). They're an ingenious application of technology & have revolutionised & saved the lives of millions over many generations...

I agree with the praise & constructive criticisms already given by others. The only thing I would add is that, if it is possible, I would prefer the date etc for each story at the top with its title, rather than at the bottom. I like to know how old a story is before reading it. Also your...

Thanks Dylan,, - credits received. I look forward to seeing your website develop. (I've REP'd you!)

Which brings us back to that particle accelerator: If research was allowed to continue there, we may have a better understanding & be able to one day develop nuclear fusion as a cheap, limitless, clean(er) souce of energy (as opposed to current fission reactors which are dirty, expensive & leave...

It doesn't sound like ending world poverty is quite so important to you now, does it ;)

I agree that you should be shouting about poverty -& preferably taking useful measures of your own to decrease it. But to argue that scientific research must stop in order to achieve this is clearly nonsense. :rant2: Richer countries could end poverty in an instant if they wanted to. There is...

£4 billion seems cheap compared to some of the stupid wars the world keeps engaging in. :bash: With those, we get nothing but lots of small bangs, a whole load of misery, & learn nothing except how futile they all are. Lets keep up the investment in scientific research -it's the only thing...

It then takes you about 2 years of hard work to save up & pay for all these expensive Adobe programs ;)

Real prints are usually much nicer to look at than images from an LCD screen. However, the costs soon mount up & it can become tedious if you regularly take photos & need to print them off each time before you can display them. The digital photo frame is, in the long run, a much easier way to...
