Perhaps of minor interest is the fact that in the corporate world of Solaris, x86 is making positive progress. Due to cost, there is a dramatic move away from SPARC and towards x86 eg Opteron. Its fair to say that (for better or for worse) x86's death is still a long way off.

This is a geeky forum. Please express costs as a proportion of the price of a pint of Old Ducks Nipple real ale. :P

Can't say I want a phone in it... I'm one of those most hated on here iphone users and that meets my needs nicely. But, the interesting thing about it (theoretically) being a phone would be that you could potentially get the network operators to subsidise and distribute it. I personally hate...

Good point and I'd be happy to do the same... ie pay the old amount when rebook next month which means openpandora save a bit on Vat. Its only a small amount, but all adds up.

Its easy to forget that around 3000 (I'm assuming most people only bought 1 unit) pre-ordered. The 'masses' are in fact sitting quiet and enjoying the ride. Its only a (admittedly vocal) few who are spitting dummies. Craigix - good luck with the old bank and hope they start doing as they are...

I don't get why people are concerned... it just mystifies me. They have very clearly said that nobody will loose their place in the queue. They have said there is no hurry to re-pay (in fact you can't pay yet via cc only bank transfer). They have said that you only need to re-pay after the...

Wow - student life seems to have changed a bit since I was there... Surely you mean you went out to drown your sorrows / chase lasses? :P

Surely if you don't want to receive it, you don't leave your phone with Bluetooth turned on. Whether or not you like it, its great marketing (assuming the product like this one is aimed at youth). Unlike a flyer or traditional marketing mail, its not clear whats 'inside' until you open...

I think this is definitely true - he has very high approval ratings in Europe, and from what I've read most of the rest of the world. Unfortunately, rather than be able to concentrate on foreign affairs, his priority will be the economy. Lets hope he can find some great advisors, as from what...

7zark7, thanks for this. I couldn't understand why Craig would go through this pain now rather than wait till after the first batch. This now makes total sense as in essence, they had no choice if they wanted to receive the monies. The bank probably has a blanket decision from top down to...

Yep, got all excited but seems that the store page has gone from the AtariAge site. Found this which is probably the same. I'd be really interested to know if I could plug my old Spectrum and even early PC 9pin joysticks in via the same connector or whether its limited to Atari 2600 joysticks...

Are you sure you didn't imply it?

It would appear your central bank doesn't share your confidence: Iceland Central Bank comments I'm not trying to put a downer on you - just pointing out that the repercussions will be quite severe and in this instance its not just a case of media hype. The exchange rates mean that its hard...

Sounds like your friend needs to meet Mr Cane. That would add a bit of discipline :P Joking aside, given that teachers can no longer throw black board cleaners, hit or generally use any method to get kids to pay attention, its hardly surprising that they loose it. I find that fact that you...

Are you for real? My local council has lost 27million to icessave, so the effect is very real here. And as for your thought that life will continue as normal in Iceland... dream on. It will end in an IMF bail out, austerity measures and a very drastic change in quality of life I'm afraid...

Thanks. Problem of 2 x forums is that we'll be forever cross-referencing. And that is a very good number... Fat Angus, where did your notional 6k come from??
