Soz. Its just too hard to resist! Lol

Don't forget to optimise disk space after installing everything by using: sudo rm -rf /

I don't doubt that graduates couldn't tell you low level algorithms, they're all schooled in java these days. f**king java. I often find myself modifying c compiler settings on a file by file basis or sticking things in particular places in memory (ok that ones an embedded thing). My boss...

Yeah, although working in 256 colour modes had its limitations! Crafting palettes, those were the days. I write every piece of Desktop software using Qt, I appreciate that it's probably not that easy to meld Qt and Direct X what with DX being all COMified and Microsofty and stuff! But Qt...

Can I just saw.... EWW MFC!!!! Barring that, awesome stuff as ever. One day when I get some time to spare I might try my hand at a basic ray tracer, nothing that fancy though. I remember making my peers marvel when I wrote code to draw a gouraud shaded polygon (in pascal, in DOS back in 1991?).

I watched it on the hospital TV when I was in there and I had to bloody google it in the first couple of minutes to find out if it was CGI. It's so realistic and at the same time the characters have features that aren't, so it really f***s with your head. Also watched Hugo the other day and...

And on that subject, has anybody watched the tintin movie? It's a real head f**k because the characters are so life like that it starts playing tricks with your brain. You know its a CGI animation, but your eyes are telling you something different.

Bad timing as they released the pi 2 today! lol

Bluetooth virtually consumes nothing (we're talking in the microamps range) when not in a paired state, once you're paired the current increases to the milliamp range and then spikes during transmission. I know this because I work on a product that includes bluetooth and I spent far too much...

The issue was to do with being able to accidentally turn the protect off by waving your hands, that's why they were removed from sale. When they went back on sale all they'd done is turn off this feature. The false alarms is a separate issue that still plagues users. It just shouldn't happen...

No worries. Usually I do a lot of research when buying stuff and take "problems reported on the internet" with a pinch of salt as people generally only make noise when something doesn't work right for them, but given that the people I know who have them have all experienced this issue....I can...

Also remember that the "life" of the protect is 7 years, so after that 7 years the protect has to go in the bin and you have to replace with a new one, just as you would a normal smoke detector....but they're much cheaper and often have a longer life cycle. I've read things of people installing...

I know people with nest protects and they pretty much have nothing good to say about them. Constant false alarms off them. Nothing worse than being out somewhere and being told your house is burning down (apart from your actual house burning down).

They're on a frequency that the oneplus doesn't support.

The bit at the bottom on the 360 where the sensors are would drive me f**king mad!

Easy peasy. 1. Infrared reflow on the memory device and remove it from the fucked board. 2. Clean up bottom of removed memory device and reball (and reflow device) 3. Infrared BGA reflow and remove the memory device on doner board. 4. Clean up pads on doner board. 5. Apply solder paste to...

Normality drive has been re-engaged!

It's only the very latest update (last few days) that's rendered it pretty much unusable though, it's been fine up until then (apart from the odd crash). Doesn't bother me now as I've reverted to Tapatalk Pro and it's back to being perfect now.

You won't find it directly on the store, you have to go into the google play app, then my apps, then click on show all apps (or whatever it's named) and then scroll through the list till you find Tapatalk Pro, then you can reinstall it. You won't be able to search the store and install it as...

Yeah. Odd statement! It works fine or rather it worked fine until this latest update where they made the UI monumentally bad. I'm sure they'll fix it, they know they've made a bit of a f**k up. Still, the fact I can go back to Tapatalk pro means that I'm back in a quick to navigate and easy...

Incidentally these "new ui features" have caused a s**t storm on their own support forum and they've at least acknowledged that they've cocked up a bit. Everybody has the same gripes, threads unnecessarily taking up too much screen space and the forum navigation being basically awful now. I...

And to move about forums you have to keep going back to "Home" and then back down the heirarchy. Piss poor. You literally now see a handful of threads because they've made every thread huge. Piss poor. They've taken something which crashed a lot but was functionally usable to something that's...

See my recent time machine thread. Just because you think it's backed up and you can see some files, don't assume ANYTHING with time machine. It's a piece of crap.

Pounland megashed ftw!

I agree, although no doubt you'll be wanting to cash in on the trademark? And the oneplus two should totally be the "poundland megashed S" (goes off to register the domain)

The battery is epically good. In fact the whole phone is brilliant considering it's a "poundland megashed". (To quote @Tom)

What the hell is a "nano-chip"? In 3 years of Android phone ownership I've not had a single hardware or software issue, I've never had to restore from an image or sat that scratching my head with the phone. Prior to that I had a iPhone 3G, iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S - all the iPhones had to be...

Here's a doozy. If you have time machine set to back-up and one of the files it backs up happens to be on a drive with a physical failure (i.e trying to copy the file in finder results in a disk error and a copy fail error) then time machine rather helpfully doesn't copy the file and doesn't...

A couple of months in....still the best phone I've owned!

Wasn't a great price drop though. I guess quite a few people thought the same as I managed to get it into my cart twice, once when it came up and then again when I hit join waitlist because I was curious how long the queue was!
