Why dont we just skipp falling back one autum instead of springing forward two hours in the spring. It would make more sense as it always makes me tired in the mornings when we change the clocke in the spring and two hours seams like a nightmare come Monday morning when the whols country has jetlag.

OK Just ripped all my DVDs and they take up 0GB. I do not want to re-watch anything enough for it to be worth buying.

I would guess that they store currency in the smallest unit possible (cnets in USA pence in UK) so £100 is stored as 10000 pence and then put the decimal point in dor display purposes only. Far eaiser to do calculations with than BCD.

Have you ever seen the programming example of how binary computers are not very good at representing decimal fractions? I dont know if it is still as simple to prove but on a bbc micro you could do this (my bbc bsic is very rusty) 10 a = 0 20 for i = 0 to i = 10 30 a = a + 0.1 40 print a 50 next a and you would get something like 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1.000000001 This is because it is impossible to represent 0.1 in binary I hope banks use pence in all there calculations not pounds (cents and dollars for americans).

Back when I was a kid we had these definitions: Micro computer: 8 bit computer Mini Computer: 16 bit computer Mainframe: 32 bit computer Super Computer: 64 bit computer. Nobody talked about PC apert from IBM PC (or IBM PC-compatible) which has now been shortened to PC. However wouldent the Mac adds be funny if it was Mac verses PC when PC stands for Police Constable? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_Constable

I guess this is something to do with them actually being more left handed than right handed and there is less preduice against left handedness in sport than in the rest of the world. How many right handed people would be left handed if the world was generally left handed?

I guess that only 10% if not 5% of people are naturally right handed as well and 80% are somewhere in between. As we live in a right handed world 90% of the people who are neither left or right handed learn to be right handed from there parents who learned to be right handed from there parents. Hopfully in 2 or 3 generations time we will have the majority of people able to use either hand.

So there are two important aprts of the internet with birthdays very close together. I wonder if Debian or IE will last the longest?

No it's just that it looks much better when everyone is looking at an interactive wall and doing things on it than some small fiddley padd. The look at this served to move the plot on like many people working on an application with a wall for a display device. How booring would it have been to watch someone working on a PADD.
