I don't think even Samsung have made a screen big enough for that to be a problem just yet.

Wow, it must be nice to have people commenting on your knowledge 6 years later (better or worse). If the QA gives you so much heartburn, then quit it. Move onto something less stressful.

Many of them are sensible questions from people who need help - but some of them are lazy little sh*ts that can't be bothered to think for themselves and want someone else to do all the hard work for 'em while they get the rewards.

The first lot make the second bearable, but sometimes there is a need to vent the frustration, and the desk can only take so many bangs from my head. Wink | ;)

This is one of those times when I don't think that reporting it helps - leaving it there so his tutors can see he was asking is much better. Sometimes, you have to be kind to be cruel! Laugh | :laugh:

I will not say what I did to my homebrew AI that tried to do things its own way by twisting my directives like a lawyer.

I'm collecting my Chord Hugo 2 DAC tomorrow @ £1.8K that's expensive enough. I hope I don't wreck it on the way home. Smile | :)

For the DAC, the main risk will feeding in too high bitrate files before its ready, the result will be the same as with the 430 Scuderia a burnt mess. Laugh | :laugh:

To quote the namegiver of the Teddy bear again:

Quote:
Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

Let those who never have bitten off more than they can handle throw the first rock.

You cannae change the laws of physics, that's all. So treat yourself with some respect and get proper training before you go marauding through the countryside with such a toy.

In this case it wasn't even being driven through the country but on the M1. How this could have happened at legal motorway speeds is beyond belief.
