This brings me to a related question, though: Is there anywhere one can get a decent smartphoney thing with a slide-out qwerty keyboard anymore? I'm supposing all answers, if there are any, will point to obscure chinese gadget sites so that's ok. It just amazes me that the idea of a pocket...

It should be noted that 1) I strongly dislike anything that is based only on touch control, no matter who made it, 2) I'm a grumpy old git, and 3) sometimes I exaggerate for humorous effect :D

Sometimes literally, that. We've recently had a minor building scandal, where builders decided to import a way of building houses that is very cheap, very quick and works very well...if your house happens to be in, like, spain, where it is hot and dry. The technique is basically to build a frame...

That does seem to be my memory too. 

Yep. Hideous crap, fueled by religious brand fervour, that one.

Is it just me, or is this a crap idea? I mean, Marshall don't do phones. So, either they haven't in any way been involved in making this phone, meaning they basically have a whatnot noname phone with tolex, brass and an extra headphone socket bolted on in an attempt to just fool people with the...

Yes! Yes! Please!!! 

A poll is a poll, not a decision. A poll is a way to get some sort of quantitative information from the boards, but it is EDs decision in the end.

I have nothing to add, except to say that I'm suitably impressed :D

I said before that I trust ED to have common sense. I see that my trust is well placed.

I have recently gotten myself an x201. Amazingly good machine.

Jack Sparrows twin brother was detained by customs when he tried to get into the US recently. Thing is, they are cracking down on pirate copies.

And this, I must reply to as well, because it is simply not correct. In the old jewish tradition, which means the part of the bible that we call the Old Testament, marriage has nothing to do with "a stable environment for children" or "the union of a man and a woman" - It was a strict tool to...

In principle, I agree with the thought that neither religion nor government should mess with whomever I choose to share my life with. That is in the theorethical, ideal world. In practice, though, we live in a world where marital status matters in at least two senses - It does matter in some...

It is a step in the right direction. As WizardStan says, it won't make everything rosy overnight, but it is a strong signal and gives some sort of hope for the future. 

On the other hand: At least to me, the main point of the keyboard is to work as a device for, you know, typing stuff. And of course, it is useful when i emulate things with keyboards, like my dear old spectrum, or Atari ST, or C64, or Archimedes, or most anything of the sort. All which has...

General remark: SZ 1.51 is Ancient. Do upgrade :)

Before Breaded Butter gets all confused, it might be worth pointing out that on these boards, the phrase "Two Months" has an almost mythical significance, and is regarded with great superstition. Therefore, when people starts writing posts with foretell that something will happen in Two Months...

I'm quite obviously blind. Must be old age. I said nothing, OK?!? Videos in the thread, right! Right there. Noone in their right mind could miss them, really! E-he-he... :D
