Re: HDMI Leads - £1 in poundland (UK)

<t>I used to have my old tower hooked up to my HDTV a while ago. I tried a cheaper discount store HDMI lead on it and the picture was horrifyingly bad.<br/> <br/> I had to go out and get a Technica lead from Tesco when they were still doing them, about £15 I think and it was a huge improvement.<br/>...

Re: R-Pi Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPG)

<t>Hey folks, I have to admit I haven't read all the thread, as most of it is too technical for me to understand anyway.<br/> <br/> However, I think the game looks like it uses the Python programming language? I'm busy learning that language now in my spare time. I'm still struggling with it, but I ...

Re: Needed: a Nursery manual--

<r>Howdy,<br/> <br/> I too have never touched a single stroke of code before in my life.

Re: What are you reading at the moment?

<t>I'd second anything by Pratchett. The Discworld books are often sadly overlooked or dismissed by the highbrow tolkien crowd (their loss). Terry's sense of humour is blacker and drier than coal, and always an easy read.<br/> <br/> For Sci-Fi I'd recommend some of the Warhammer 40,000 books. Not al...
