This is a "Dalek Dave"-ism. p actually means piano (in music) which means SOFT or SOFTLY. I suppose you get quiet because when you play softly it is quieter.

I spy someone who has watched every episode ever, probably has all the DVD Box-sets, the books and a picture of Stephen Fry on his bedroom ceiling.

Indeed I did.
Every time I come across a new word I make a note of it and try to bring it to the great unwashed.

Thanks for the idea.

I wonder if I can continue this until no one here know my real name anymore.

The idea is great, but the battery life needs to be longer and the tethering will mean your phone runs out too.
Plus having to carry 2x chargers with you.
Almost there, I shall wait for the mark 2.

Most/All portable electronic gadgets are still and will be limited due to battery technology not being as advanced as the gadget they need to power.
As soon as the big oil company decide to put money on it, you will see big leaps in battery efficiency.
I'd rather be phishing!

I'm curious as to why no one other than the oil companies are capable of developing better batteries. Or is it that no other companies or organizations have enough money?

They seem to have misspelled "Pedometer", I wonder if this is rated in Savilles, which is the SI unit for such a proclivity.

I remember years ago they came out with a calculator watch and I knew 1 engineer that got one just to be cool and it was big and clunky, like this one and looks nerdy as hell. He quit wearing it after a couple of weeks. Maybe if they implanted a flexible screen on your shirt sleeve and..., no it would still look nerdy as hell. Unless that's the look you're going for?

Moving aside from my recent thread about refillable ink cartridges I'd like to ask about laser printers.
What is it that makes a good b/w laser printer? What I'm saying is that you can spend £200 and more from one manufacturer and £50 from another. Are the £200 jobs immeasurably superior to the dumpster-priced £50 printers? I want a decent printer in the sense I'd like sharp text and that can display reasonable images on the occasions I need to. I know DPI is important and you can apparently have too much DPI?
Printing speed for example: If I have to wait 20 seconds per page I'm ok with that. A minute per page I'd probably get a bit fed up. Sometimes I like to print multiple page PDFs so double sided printing would be nice.
Do modern toner kits "degrade/expire" like some ink cartridges? Are they chipped to expire?
Do you pay more for WiFi printers over cable types?
So, essentially, I don't print a lot but I'd like reasonable print quality at a price that lines up with my occasional use. There are so many printers to choose from and so many high-fives in one review but which gets a kick in the ass on another. If someone can give me some essential points to look for it would be much appreciated.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.
