I had a QNAP but wasn't that impressed with it, one of it's selling points was the DLNA server, but I never got it to behave satisfactorily. I now have a Drobo and just use samba shares and instead have the intelligence on the client machine running XBMC. The Drobo is quite a bit more...

and and are my favorites. The first one was at a Bird of Prey photography workshop, a woman was dangling a dead baby chick above my head, which is why the bird was looking right at me. The second one was taken at a big cats breeding sanctuary (also a photo workshop) The last one was...

The Matthew Shardlake series is quite good. Murder mysteries set in England during the reign of Henry VIII. Entertaining and you learn stuff too! (Well I did, never paid much attention to History at school).

Cool, I logged on a bit last night, leveled a Worgen warrio r(Wulfsige), never really played with Melee classes much before, it was quite fun. My only criticism was that your base of operations moves around quite a bit and their doesn't feel like their is much time to level your professions at...

Need to save some gold to get my flying speed up, tricky with the way that prices for things have plummeted recently. Hopfully that will reverse again now. Still when I do get my flying speed up it will be with a Time Lost Proto-Drake :-)

Still waiting on my copy :-( Ah well I am at work anyway so can't play it, so long as it comes before Friday! I suspect the spawn rates are so fast due to the expected rush of players in those areas.

Yeah the redesigned quests are pretty sweet. Running one of my alts around the Cape of Stranglethorn, they are using phasing quite a bit more, and it makes for some nice quests!

Oooh! Thats cunning, good luck! I will probably create a Worgen, just to see what they are like, do the first 10 levels to get some of the Gilneas storyline, and then switch to my main to start leveling him to 85.

Well, I havent done the scatter graph thing yet, got a bit side-tracked with just playing around with processing. Did this with about 2.5 hours of coding. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0THPjwCh14 Note that I do not do 3d coding of any sort on a regular basis, so had to dredge the...

Oooh now that is interesting, as my Arduino development stuff has mentioned Processing in the past as well! Thanks, will have a play with that!

I basically want to create a 3d scatter graph that I can rotate the view around nicely. Cant seem to see anything on the web specifically for this, so thought a quick way might be to just plug things into a 3d engine of some sort (create small spheres at the given coordinates in world space...

In your mail settings on the phone you should be able to set mail folders to push. I think that will do what you are after. CC

For Task Bar/start menu. I tend to use the Dock as a task bar with a few things pinned to it. For App launching I use google desktop search (I used to use Quicksilver until the developer moved to Google and stopped supporting it). CC

If I had the opportunity (and money) to build my own home I would be looking into something like these. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huf_Haus In addition I would be looking at wired ethernet throughout. X-10 Home automation compatible fittings. CC

In addition if you start having to split your design across multiple FPGA's you can start to run into issues with how you partition the design and how you do the interfaces between the blocks on the different FPGA's. CC
