• 15:38 @mjasay I have to say, I concur with your analysis re Tom Tom. The FAT patents are secondary chillers, the GPS patents are the core. #
• 16:08 @glynmoody It's MS and their FAT patents, the ones people are convinced were overturned but arent #

• 09:03 @seatrout And I have a bunch of LCDs here which swivel but I don't do it cos I get put out by the way the displays refresh #
• 09:07 @seatrout Ah, just the one monitor? I run multiple so when one is swivelled its noticable... #
• 09:34 @seatrout Well, you could get one of these - www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001L1R9LK/ #
• 09:43 @seatrout Well, I think it's a combination of the subpixel arrangement and electronics, but I am overly sensitive to it I suspect. #
• 10:01 @glynmoody It's a "Visible Source" licence. I can think of at least one UK company which has a product under one #
• 10:06 @glynmoody AFAICT it's a fairly standard licence with a grant of rights to see and modify the source and limitations on the support of mods. #
• 10:06 @glynmoody That is it say it's a style of proprietary licence, like an escrow clause on steroids. #
• 10:08 @glynmoody And as one of the commenters points out, it's the kind of licence Java was under before #
• 11:53 @seatrout So what you really want is 1600 lines vertical res.... I know too well where that leads to. :) (points at Dell 30" monitor) #
• 14:44 @seatrout You on 3.0 or 3.0.1? is.gd/jB1r #

• 09:49 @glynmoody Having auto-follow on is the equivelant of a "Please micro-spam me" flag. Unlike email, the solutions are already available. #
• 09:59 @glynmoody Why? You only follow who you want to listen to, so what's the vector for spam? #
• 10:11 @glynmoody Twitters problem, they have engineering control of the system. Again, completely unlike email spam. #
• 12:16 @glynmoody HP will be serious about it when the open the source to the launcher. Till then it's a proprietary shell on an open core. #
• 12:33 @glynmoody But there also appears to be binary only packages. Compare is.gd/itqZ with is.gd/itr4 - more digging needed #

• 18:30 @malki Though I will point out thats a generic term, rather than specific for that particular type. #
• 18:32 @malki Oh and yes, WIkipedia has the other generic term, monkey bars but that usually was for the ones you hang from #

• 13:55 @burke_eric What do the other versions do? Randomly select a printer? :) #
• 14:13 @burke_eric I prefer the random printer option. "Document printing on neighbours printer...." #
• 15:12 @ramtops No. Well, not about that. :) #
• 17:33 @jeresig Don't whatever you do, look at the Lego Mindstorms NXT set... with it's bluetooth and ... no no I must not click, I must not click #

• 20:12 @dhmorton Especially now there's a straight cheese and pepperoni on the PJs menu. #
• 20:13 @destroytoday To be honest, I tried it and found it somewhat confusing. I kinda wanted to select the two extra panes specifically... #
• 20:15 Loving the pics on is.gd/ioAg ... if I could have em all in wallpaper size I'd be sorted for wallpaper for 2009 :) #
• 20:17 @nikrosser Doesn't that get cheese on your bits? #
• 20:21 @destroytoday Could we control click the tabs for panels to make them pop out on demand, control click again to remove their extra panel? #
• 20:32 @destroytoday No, the window would widen (on left or right) and the control clicked pane would appear there. Wider on demand... #
• 20:33 @destroytoday The tabs for expanded windows would only respond to a control click then as there's no need to navigate to them. #
• 20:37 @dhmorton Only if the other three groups are cheeseburger, bacon roll and kebab #
• 20:56 @burke_eric Evidential purposes :) #

• 16:39 @glynmoody And when that list leaks to the spammers which it would... The state has a role in stopping spam, becoming a spammer isn't it. #
• 17:15 Corrects a small error with the old following. Sorry bout that @c64glen #
• 17:15 @nomine And so I did. :) #
