  How long until you just have a .ogm video playing at a slow framerate instead? :)

  Surprised you haven't seen it before - it's rather nice after cDBI

  .. and do you have any suggestions on how to avoid this? (Option 1: Never go away. Never leave the computer alone.)

  No, wait, apparently that is an artifact of the import process; External listings all end up with an email address associated with some poor guy here who must have written that bit and hardcoded his email into it. Oops.

  That's right, but you cannot refuse someone who wants to pay via Paypal, and you as a seller are required to have a paypal account setup, which some people will find disagreeable. (Paypal are not exactly great).

  Comment from dryfter on eBay wants to move _all_ payments to Australian sellers to *only* use PayPal, which they own. Screw you, eBay. by 1 year, 6 months ago

  what do you mean "wants"? They already have! Paypal is mandatory on all new auctions.

  Congrats! I'll be interested to hear how it works out longer term. My usual attention span for exercise is... brief.. at best. But WiiFit sounds like it has a lot of different exercises to try out, from what you were saying, which could keep the novelty factor (for me) running longer.

  Note: I have successfully had LOTRO running on my MacBook, and over a UMTS connection. hums "We do what we must, because we can"

  Comment from dryfter on Great, an important Windows application Jacinta needs for travel crashes with an "unspecified error 0x80004005". Could it be any less helpful? by 1 year, 7 months ago

  Could you get a kind of foot-pump-dynamo? That would give you power AND avoid deep-vein thrombosis :D

  Comment from dryfter on The are chargers that leach power from the airplane's headphone socket to charge USB. Not fast, not much power, but brilliant! by 1 year, 7 months ago

  I suspect you'll find the sealed lead-acid batteries will not start a car, as their rated max draw is too low. I suggest you take a flight with a carrier who provides laptop sockets in-flight! I've only ever scored that once, mind you..

  It's sad, isn't it? The stats get skewed even further if you take into account, say, scooters and motorcycles. My bike isn't terribly efficient for commuting (it's a big 650cc twin), but it still gets 100km from 4 litres of petrol.. making it ridiculously cheaper to commute on it rather than take the tram to work. ($1 of petrol vs $6?)

  Comment from dryfter on Still aghast at Australia<->US flights. Apparently they'll get cheaper... in 2009... if there's any oil left. by 1 year, 7 months ago
