  • 10:56 @jonobennett $6.5bn for Java, a boatload of multicore cpu designs, and an already freed Unix? Bargain. #

  • 09:41 Sigh. Doctors say I have high blood pressure, need blood tests etc. BUT I DON'T HAVE TIME! #
  • 09:44 @swombat dvi->vga extracts analog pins, mini-dp-DVI is all analog, DVI has different pins for analog and digital as DVI is >4 connections #
  • 09:45 @swombat I mean mini-dp->DVI is all digital, so no analog pins to put into the DVI->VGA connector. #
  • 13:12 @ma_ku Ok OK! But I look so good with wood... (fx:screaming from back of room) #

  • 08:48 @dhmorton The same people who you write to about the anguish and distress caused by the mental image of him not in a thong. #
  • 08:57 @AbigailH And a grapefruit is just an immature basketball seed. :) #
  • 14:14 @IanSkerrett Except the bulletin says WMF and EMF, Windows Metafile and Extended Metafile. #
  • 14:30 @glynmoody Photoshops are easy. Production engineering is hard. #
  • 14:36 @glynmoody It's 95% of the challenge. I can draw my perfect computer in ten minutes. But the technology to make it work doesn't exist. #
  • 15:44 Pity Twitter PR don't want to answer my question about spoofing. Can't think why.... #

  • 16:13 @bensummers I've done that line of thinking in the past.... usually to go back to the packages cos they've covered the corner cases :) #
  • 16:27 @bensummers Oh odd. The tokenizer class says it handles then, lies damn lies and javadocs I guess :) #
  • 16:43 @bensummers Oh Apache Commons... well thats dependency land that is :) #

  • 10:05 @glynmoody A survey sample of 515 of "interest or willingness"? So the margin of errors what? 10-20% :) #
  • 11:55 @grahamix Oh, is it? Oh my, Bappy Hirthday and all that sort of thing! #
  • 12:24 @glynmoody Not hugely; Amazon has a massive non-downloadable online retail brand, iTunes only has a digital brand. #
  • 12:25 @glynmoody Most folks online have already bought from Amazon so trust the brand. For iTunes, only people with iPods etc. #
  • 12:26 @glynmoody So the real surprise is that iTunes does so *well* :) #
