Comment Re:Japanese Knot Weed (Score 3, Interesting) 360

Four years ago, I did battle with Japanese Knot Weed in the back garden of a house we rented in Cambridge. I tried to kill it for two years by digging it up and applying weed killer. It was very resilient, but I was winning the battle before we left that house. This was a small area looked after by a pretty determined individual (me), I can't imagine what it would take to get rid of it from the the huge areas it occupies such as the valleys around Cardiff.

Comment Re:How Many People Even Use Chrome? (Score 1) 294

I see quite a few using it where I work (in a university). It's very fast, and stable as mentioned in the interview. I also like the private browsing mode. It especially works well on my old slow laptop. Firefox is too heavy but Chrome runs. I'd like to see a few Firefox extensions made available, but it's a great start.

shashank4u writes: "Mempile, a leader in next generation optical storage technology,has announces that it has proven its TeraDisc technology to be capable of storing up to one TeraByte (TB) of data. The company recently demonstrated this concept to several Japanese CE manufacturers by recording and reading over 100 virtual layers on a single DVD-size optical disc. The demonstration attendees were amazed to see this breakthrough which showed Mempile's capability of recording at least 500GB of data on what appears to be a simple plastic transparent disc — 300GB more than the announced roadmap of competing blue-laser technologies in the year 2010. link to the story http://www.mempile.com/news.html"
