WTF is the sum of 6+1?
I'm too effin OLD to be doing sums. At 22:43 of a Saturday evening!!!!!

Hey it beats using one of those slanty stretched ReCaptcha codes. Ya gotta use acid for those to start looking legible.

As astronomer Carl Sagan used to say "Billions and billions."

Well, not quite that many, but I do hope to eventually ramp up to needing an amount that requires a comma (decimal mark for Europeans) in the number.

<t>Getting the "You are banned" message when going to these forums. At first I thought "Hmmm, what did I do?" Then I thought "Finally, I'm separating from that 'Mr. Nice guy' image I have." Then I thought "Oh, oh. Now I can't find out what's going on." The...

I'm going to carbon date myself, and go with Collosal Cave Adventure.

The graphics were in your imagination.

I'm not an insider, so this isn't a definitive answer, but the store side of the operation is on the .com domain, while the information stuff is on the .org side. Sounds like a shop address would be .com.

<t>The US educational is also tied up with regulations. There's the "No Child Left Behind" program where the entire system is now set up to only teach the kids to pass the standardized tests. The teacher unions don't want to change anything except lobbying for smaller class sizes which would require...

I think I need another English to English translation. How does a "pickle bag" describe someone's personality?

I tried searching on Google, and even on the British version, Goougle, but didn't find anything except actual paper bags to hold pickles.

<t>I'm hoping to also use the R Pi in a commercial project. Once things got going, I was planning on getting extras and starting a local (could be youth, or anyone) computer group to work with them. Working within the the local school system would require dealing with too much ...

I don't know what type of "berry" I am now, though.

Other than the Guest old posts, it looks good to me, especially considering what I'm paying to use it.

I noticed that when I go to the main page before logging in here, it shows only two comments are there. After logging in, there are 43. That must be why the posting password isn\'t accepted. It\'s showing an old password.
Must not be much of a secret though, since I was allowed to know it.

I'm going with December 10 at 14:31:49 UTC. That's the peak time for the next lunar eclipse.

We changed our minds. We'll accept the three pence tax on tea instead of the thousands of pages of tax regulations we're stuck with now.

<r>Blue LEDs on a Raspberry device? I wouldn\'t think so, unless you\'re thinking of that raspberry flavoring that comes on sno cones. It needs magenta colored LEDs. <URL url="http://www.ledkid.com/?page=cart&pid=SC-FM"><s>[url]</s>http://www.ledkid.com/?page=cart&pid=SC-FM<e>[/url...

<t>I had an iBook with that faulty graphic processor soldering during manufacture. It didn't show symptoms until after Apple ended the recall. (Haven't bought another Apple product since then.) Since I had nothing to lose, I tried heating the chip to re-melt the BGA. It didn't work, so I tried again...

<r>I know this is a bit of a shift in the topic, but if you\'re considering buying a disk drive, you may not want to wait. The typhoon and flooding in Thailand is causing disruption in disk manufacturing. <URL url="http://m.crn.com/0/show/1ebf5261ee872f1682ce7a545e77ee86&t=fa36d76fd8a4832aa...

I wonder if it could be interfaced to the RPi for a secondary display, or to use the accelerometer?
I like the screen capture photos of the various functions, especially the demonstration of the "off" button.

<r>Hi, It was very nice meeting Eben and Liz Saturday. I stopped by the table a couple times during the day, and the talks in the Make:Live area behind them was about 1/3 to 1/2 full. When Eben spoke, it was standing room only. It's nice to see that you're not wasting money on flashy displ...

I know underwear has been ruled out earlier, but everyone has T-shirts. No one has (What's the UK term for American short pants?) I'm suggesting outerwear, but for below the waist.
That picture at the top of the page has me craving raspberries too. I'm going to go pick some tomorrow.
