Missing Thunderbirds footage found in British garden shed

milliemoo83

Re: Pedant Alert

Captain Scarlett and Thunderbirds are connected. I believe the original Thunderbirds movie was meant to serve as a bridge (both it and the CS pilot featuring a Zero-X mission to Mars). And it was of course made after Thunderbirds ended. There's a connection to Stingray as well - Gordon Tracy trained at WASP (the same group in Stingray).

Windows 11 continues slog up the Windows 10 mountain

Re: It does...

"(and it seems as if the setting is per mouse, per USB port)."

This is because when you plug an existing device into a different port, Windows decides it's never seen it before and treats it as such - as it's a new device to that port.

Re: Virtual coloured penclis?

"I like coloured pencils - or even better actual f****** coloured chalk on an actual blackboard of a decent size. Makes explaining the architecture or the stats I come up with to my colleagues (who then have to implement parts of it). And what do I have? A small (80cm x 30cm) whiteboard.... one of them. I'm not allowed to drill holes in thewall and there's no way to order anything of a decent size...."

Youtube also doesn't like people making use of youtube.lua and VLC Player to stream vids. 99% of the time the connection is throttled down to 60KB/s. That's something that happened in the last few months.
