I live in North East England and I'm not overly keen on beer. I'd love to hear your recommendations, though!

Enter the BIOS (hit DEL during Power On Self Test), go into the Power or PC Health (depending on what BIOS you have). Alter the value of CPU FAN to "Not Monitored" or "Ignored". Hit F10 (or whatever yor key is) to save settings and reboot.

SpeedFan (etc) will still give you a speed readout if a fan is connected, but your BIOS won't complain if one isn't.

This procedure should be similar for UEFI based systems.

9.5ML is an SI unit. The 55 kilotons should be expressed as 55ML (using water's density=1000 kg/m^3). So we can see at a glance that they need 6 tankers at the moment.

We avoid exponents this way. Or the short scale/long scale "billion issue".

I'd rather have ponies.

Like yesterday's?

Please don't encourage dupes...

It's torrents.thepiratebay.org and it resolves just fine for me on VM Cable (M) in NE England.

Does it really matter if they provide a crippled router? It's probably a piece of shit anyway; get something you can flash DD-WRT or Tomato onto.

You see that asterisk next to eldavojohn's name?

The asterisk means that this user is a subscriber to Slashdot. They have shelled out some coin to help keep Slashdot running. They get assorted extra features for helping support the site, including the asterisk and the glorious bragging rights that go along with it. [Including seeing front-page posts sooner than us plebs.]

Here's a review.

£300, 7/10 and it needs an iPhone. I won't be getting one.

A degausser is a 'dumb' field; it transfers energy through brute force. Wireless energy devices use 'inductive coupling' - it's much more precise, much more efficient.

They can carry spy-o-scopes, but that doesn't mean they will.

In fact, they aren't even mentioned in either linked article as far as I can see.

Yes, 10. That's binary 10 of course!

Your easy to please.

Ooh, it made me cringe typing that.

Except for in Japan, where they pixellate all the good bits.

Stop listening to everything Richard Littlejohn tells you. Some of it happens to be sensationalist bullshit.

(100/(100-43)) * 43 = 75.44

43% of all software in use is pirated and therefore only 57% has been paid for. For every $100 of legit software in use, there is an amount of cracked software in use that would have cost $75.
