A second vote for Carbon Copy Cloner My iMac was getting a bit sluggish for my taste. So I used CCC to clone the entire hard disc onto a firewire HD. Used system disc to wipe imac, reinstalled tiger, rebooted - it asks if you want to copy info fr…

The thought of frying stuff in mayo is making me feel a bit queasy at 8.30am. A friend of mine is renowned for making strawberry jam sandwiches, then deep-frying them in lard. As one might expect, he is extremely large, and I suspect that his …

Mojitos - favourite summer cocktail at the moment. Plenty of ice and rum, and a load of mint. and probably some other stuff that bartenders tend to put in but i haven't identified as yet. most refreshing.

what species is Yoda? I was just thinking - if there's a planet full of ewoks and a planet full of wookies, there's bound to be a planet full of Yoda's relatives. So for Return of the Jedi, instead of gimpy ewoks we could have had tribes of Y…

When you have 120 000 people ready and waiting to watch some racing, you have to put aside rivalries and put on a show. Maybe the bridgstone runners could have started at the front. or the other teams could have had a time penalty. or both. …

Top cocktail. true test of a barman's talent. and lots of them get it wrong (not that I'm not particularly good at making them myself) too much lime = too sharp too much tequila = odd too much cheap tequila = nasty crushed ice = margarita fo…

Maybe Lucas is also a fan of the excellent B movie 'Samurai assassin', which has the tagline of 'It's impossible to keep a bodycount'. Outrageous amount of dismemberment I seem to recall. Not quite in the same league as Kurosawa though. There was…

Just to jump back to page 1 - thanks to Sunilraman for his comments about who gets clones and who gets droids etc. I mostly kapish. must watch other episodes again soon random thought if only...We'd had wookies instead of ewoks in Ep6. instead o…

Opening day in Leicester Square yesterday. Not as many fanboys in costume as I expected - one Obi Wan, and a very convincing Darth Maul (spelling?) who was being photographed constantly. And about 5 lads in the most rubbish costumes I've seen. E…

Euston is my stamping ground - I work in the glass edifice above Euston Square - so I'll throw a few more accom options into the hat. Ran a few quick rate checks on random summer dates to see price ranges. If you plan to stay for 3 weeks, you co…

Away for a few days on an impulsive trip to Oman; this thread has turned rather more acidic ! Excellent. The scientific community tend to be rather too polite. Vituperative comments are far more entertaining. Will have a look at the historical…

Afternoon First time I've been called a 'divine nugget'. Splendid. Unless that was merely referring to my post, or was a bad thing, but I'll take it as a compliment as it's a grey cold day in London town. Interesting discussion about Josephus. N…

Excellent, have been looking for a good thread on this topic to read up on. Although having run through five pages, my brain hurts a tad. (that said, i've been lurking on the G5 thread on Ars's machach that now runs to 133 pages, and is in its s…

Good spot with the Lacie Here's Roxio's press release Can't see anything about a stock toast update to enable DL - plan to use with cheapo NEC dual layer burner (2510) Not that we can find any media here in the UK. some floating around for…

My understanding was that the Indies weren't happy with accepting the same deal as had been offered to the big labels. Something about Apple being able to raise prices without giving them more cash? Will be interesting to see if they stuck to the…

Have a look at the NEC 2500A - 8x DVD burner that can, apparently be flashed to burn dual layer discs at 2.4x The burner sells for £56 here in the UK. is being investigated by a friend of mine who has the burner, and has acquired the firmware…

Good. a thread about creationism. DMZ - never actually come across anyone who believed in creationism before. So I'm quite interested in hearing more of your arguments for creationism, rather than arguments against evolution. A couple of queries…

So you would be the key liaison between the two companies? Nice thegeldings interview advice all good (esp a) My additional advice would be to do as much research on both companies as possible. At interviews here, people who've gone to the ef…
