Went to buy the Nexus 5 today on Google Play. Leaves warehouse by 2013-12-11 so I click buy, enter details, even splurge for next day shipping (my phone is broke anyway) Click agree and purchase ... all of the shipping dates "magically change" to 2013-12-16. I click cancel. At least they have the 60 second grace period after clicking buy.
It's funny, the reason I shop online is because they are supposed to have stuff. If I wanted to "wait" for it to be available I could shop retail : )

I tried it few days back and saw a little line stating: "The phone will leave warehouse after 2-3 weeks.". To me, this was OK. I could wait for a while since on play store, it was cheaper.

It isn't the wait, it is the fact that before I clicked place order the leave date was 2013-12-11 and after I clicked pay it "magically changed" to 2013-12-16. In my mind that is deceptive.

That's weird. Cause when I tried, this was on first page.

It may have been other people buying faster than you caused all units from that batch to be allocated?
|

No the home page for the order still shows 2013-12-11. Just false advertising by Google, no big deal 
|
|

|

Or it could be due to caching.

You have to click faster...

I remember a Website that replayed the Video automatically after playtime elapsed 
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

Wait, this one is just next to YouTube. Little cat like thingy with a baseball bat.

Sounds interesting 
what i meant was the replay instead of tube in the URL.
www.youtube.com/video1
www.youreplay.com/video1
but dunno if this still works
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

I guess I wasn't clear. This icon is rewind for 2013. I would rather find it irritating if a site replays videos with my permission.

Hi,
Like some people here I have the odd Raspberry PI (Dave...) and memories of using the Acorn Archimedes at school. So I have downloaded and played briefly with the Riscos installation. I was wondering of anyone else had seen a use for it. The main thing I found was BBC basic. Anyone see any point to it (other than nostalgia)

There are lots of things like that -- I remember what wonderful times I had with some technology or other, and go out of my way to get it back, only to realise that things really have moved on for the better.

I think nostalgia pretty much sums it up.
I still have a commercial Basic ISO 5167 flow meter sizing/flow calculation tool. Being in basic a simple case of 'list' and voila, source to hand. Did consider porting it across to VB/VB.Net/C#/JavaScript for the hell of it one day, but then thought why bother....

if it works don't fix it!

Sign Language Interpreter who did not know sign language[^]
I learnt to sign (still not very good) as I am worried about going deaf.
The sign for 'Inserting a tampon' is easy...Make a Vulcan V sign with your left hand, horizontally with the back of your hand uppermost.
Use your right forefinger and push it upwards from underneath into the gap.
I cannot tell you the sequence of events that led up to me learning that, but it was amusing!

I thought he looked rubbish when I saw him on the news. I know almost no ASL (apart from "Bullsh*t" and suchlike) but it did look like he was making it up...

You'll find yourself lip reading more, when the hearing does start to fail.
I should stop being lazy and get on a sign language course before my right ear gives up working too.

I know nearly nothing about sign language but could tell there was something wrong...

A terrorist who pretended to be a saint; a w@nker who pretended to be an interpreter?
Seems highly appropriate, to me.
