The problem has always been the price of burners and discs. Blu Ray seemed awesome when I first saw it, but I never could justify the cost, what with these cheap generic +R's and WinRAR to split stuff... oh not to mention cheap almost-disposable drives.

They should re-tool all of their factories, embrace the inevitable, and minimize (or prevent) losses by marketing it for storage and reducing the price of the discs and drives. The only thing that can save Blu-Ray now is to re-purpose it.

As much as it's a rubbish summary and so forth, the game itself (eyewire.org) is actually quite compelling, at least on a par with those silly bubble saga things - and it gets human "mice" to map neurons for us science types!

Please be more positive, the more we know about such things, the sooner I'll have my network socket... ;-)

Hi, apk!

I love you, too, apk, we make quite the pair. I'd be offended by all this if I hadn't anticipated it when I posted my GP troll...

When I saw the headline, I thought, "DARPA doesn't embrace nature, it maims and kills it!" So, close...

"-1: Off-Topic" x 15 ;-)

Why, thank you... I think. You have a script?

May the Schwarz be with you!

Hey, it's not that bad, it's strapline does include "sarcasm", after all. This is an ancient debate and deserves a smile or two on this auspicious occasion - modernising vi / vim is a laudable goal.

Think about the comfort and ease of use, if one could use Alt-Gr for the shortcuts in Vim, and ALT-TAB etc. to switch instantly for other GUI apps (SSH, Seamonkey, etc.). A long-awaited blend of the old and the new.

Do you really have hairy feet?

They should just roll back to Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and start from there. It's bloody good, and all this is a bloody shame. They were just getting good and learning from the UNIX crowd about security and user space. Aero is gorgeous and efficient. And they threw all the best bits I got excited about in the bin - and no I didn't get excited about Vista - 7 runs better on anything that runs Vista.

I've posted before about this calamity that is removing Windows 7 from the shelves for this 8 nonsense.

Wow, that's a fast downlink, never mind uplink.

I'm a bandwidth-starved Brit from the Northwest backwaters, one of the first to get fibre (spelt correctly) in Leyland, Lancashire - and then use it to spread anarchy in the form of recycled computers with pirated windows and learning software (and yes, games) through that hell-hole, enlightening many a disillusioned soul suffering from the negative effects of the DAF fallout...

So how exactly are you doing that, Sir? And can I come play with it, please? Rachel

I knew they were new here when I saw the UID... another feature missing from the comments on the Beta.

It's not the lowest, but I'm proud of mine, at least it shows I'm not some muggle who grew up with nothing but Pentiums and pseudo-code / Windows API / scripting being the only shops in town...
