I'm sorry, you did not get the job, you were holding the application form wrong.

You're cleaning it wrong.

I left because of the terrible support. I was repeatedly infuriated by them. This was of course made worse by the fact the game was released in what I would consider to be a 'closed beta' state. For example: - I submitted tickets repeatedly about a severe bug - a particular countdown move that...

Congratulations Apple, the whole internet is laughing at you.

My Vertex 2 died completely within a month and a half of installing in a new laptop - many users on-line experiencing the same problem with those drives, disgusting to encounter such a catastrophic fault rate in a system-critical product really. Purchased a (then more expensive) Crucial M4 to...

The biggest business growth area (certainly in the UK) for mobile telecommunications providers is actually in SOHO and Small/Medium business rather than corporate/enterprise. Therefore the statement that most IT pros prefer (or endorse on a safety level) Blackberry over other handsets is...

ThunderfoxGloFo can barely do 32nm for AMD. Now they have 28nm for other people? This comment is flawed - AMD CPU's have a far, far higher transistor count per core than Cortex A9. It stands to reason that less complex units are easier to manufacture.

"You can if you use cryo cooling system. Expensive idea but it could work." A more sophisticated cooling system would not prevent the power supply itself producing 'heat', the thermal energy just dissipates in a different way rather than causing an increase in ambient temperature. Just because...

Recovery Disks are useful, and just install the operating system really. I have used them several times due to hard drive failures or OS issues with my Dell machines - but those are free. What this essentially means, is that Comet have been selling machines with OEM versions of the software and...

Surely this is a Safari exploit and not a Windows one, otherwise all browsers would be affected?

I think they're trying to save enough money for a call centre that's actually based in the UK.

Origin is simply a way for EA, as a publisher, to keep the portion of the sale proceeds that would normally be going to a third party retailer. It also creates a direct anti-piracy layer. This is the exact same reason that Valve created Steam. To make revenue from digital distribution, and to...

I'm very, very surprised that companies are actually allow to rebrand existing products with a higher number to make them appear to be a newer or more advanced model. I would personally consider numerically increasing the model number of an existing product to be false advertising. Nvidia have...

WyomingKnottCool! I can't play Lemmings anymore; even though I can boot to DOS, the machines these days are just too fast. Use Dosbox, you can control the CPU speed specifically for that reason.

Interesting how third parties can get years-old operating systems to work on there, but Blackberry can't get native email or BES to work on their own device. lol.
