Being Welsh (although from Cardiff, so not very Welsh), I would say that the people are different too, particularly in South Wales. More open and friendly, and very quick to start a conversation, particularly in the valley towns. I think you always find that in a people brought up on difficult and dangerous work, such as coal mining and steel making. Most of my father's brothers were coal miners, and many with biblical names (uncle Aaron, for example) I'm glad my thread has brought back many happy memories. Kind regards, Bob

Reminds me of Officer Crabtree on Allo Allo. Check him out on You Tube, very funny character.

Thanks for posting TIG. I enjoyed my visit to La Sagrada Familia and viewing the various models in the crypt

Do you think he brought any of his Alien-From-the Future-Clean-Up-the-Oil-Spill Technology to share with us Cro Magnons? Or do you think he just came here to Get free tickets to Toy Story 3...

@olishea said: whatever next.... Oh, what about this one? http://www.blackle.com/ It claims: @unknownuser said: Blackle saves energy because the screen is predominantly black. "Image displayed is primarily a function of the user's color settings and desktop graphics, as well as the color and size of open application windows; a given monitor requires more power to display a white (or light) screen than a black (or dark) screen."

@xrok1 said: @dale said: Here's a link to a story I read on CBC a few days ago. Apparently there is a problem.http://www.cbc.ca/m/rich/technology/story/2010/06/25/apple-iphone-signal-loss.html => appholes! Jobs: "Just avoid holding it that way.". I guess someone did forgot that one use of the phone is calling! Have to say that it do look great... why just look and admire it. Ridiculous demands - no need for calling.

Sh***t. I was going to post this under the Hungarian subforum - sorry guys. Having been translating some plugins and was just wondering how useful they might be for Hungarians who use (mainly) the English version of SU (for instance) anyway. "tudom" means "I know". (and Pilou: "zömiben" would mean "mainly" although normally you would spell it differently that's why Google translate or whatever you used could not find it I guess) Sigh...

I pride myself on not being an early adopter but in this case all I can say is

Thx for the precisions

Much appreciated! I've been using DoubleCAD for a while now but not really enjoying it, this seems like a great substitute

Interesting site... shows a lot of info on a certain color. HOWEVER, it takes several steps to copy the hex info using that site..

Thanks guys I have some help on this now!

Hi guys, Interesting. That topic I linked to is exactly the same as the one Eric linked except that in Eric's topic there are more posts. What I think is that my link went to the forum (hidden by default) that we used when we were transferring the topics in 2007 and it may be a duplicate (probably by mistake). Anyway; yes, that's the one I meant and thanks for the correct link!

just tried this and it actually works nice! http://www.copytrans.net/copytransmanager.php [image: screenshotmanager.png]
