      I’m fine either way, prefer the black, but the light blues are more than fine too.

        I seen rumours that Nintendo have now hinted that a mini nes may be in the cards

        I think it’s great that they are releasing these, but it also smacks of desperation.

        They should be selling all these old games in a Nintendo branded app store, which is think Amazon app store style. They would surly make more money with next to zero outlay.

        I’ll get the mini mini 64 if they bring one out, as before that I was a saga kid, the 64 was my first nini.

              I much prefer the older muted softer colours of of yesterday. Lee.

              I actually like the black white and grey of the fall back ship the best, but the soft blues are also good. The darker blues are a bit “contrasty” to my eyes.

                    A few weeks ago it was working very well.

                    I tried last week and got nothing.

                      At a very quick Google, so could be wrong, it looks now you are on almost stock android. No cyanogen at all. This will be why things vanished. It will be the cm an it’s affiliates apps.

                      The only one I’d be bothered about replacing would be true caller that cm used as there built in caller/msg app. It’s avalible as a 3rd party app on all other phones, you’ll just need to assign it to dealt.

                      It keeps the spam callers at bay, and makes it easy to block any other annoyances.

                      You may not of even know you was you sing true caller, as it is very seamlessly backed into the cm os. Be warned it isn’t as smooth as a 3rd party, but defo a app I wouldn’t be with out.

                        Glad to see they are keeping up the updates.

                         

                        Is it actually CM now. Or has another project taken it over. I’d be very interested.  It should say in “about phone” somewhere if cm was involved with the build.

                            I see the new buttons are still replicated in the drop down menu in the mobile view.

                            If you remove them from the menu, could I recommend you move the pm notification to the top, as I always miss my pcs for days if they are at the top I’d see them quicker. Or small unread pm counter on the same row of the new buttons. Say a small blue circle with white number inside.

                            I’m just throwing out ideas. Keep up the good work.

                              Howdy Lee, like the new buttons on the top ?

                               

                              One issue I’ve had since day one is random log outs. Sometimes it will be days before the site logs me out, some times it will do it a few times a day.

                              Not a big issue, but it just happens and the bugs forum was front and central, so though I’d mention it.

                                Just listening to the normal labour a vote for us is a vote for more investment blar blar blar….

                                If he want any success, he needs to turn it into a second referendum. Come out an say, “labour never wanted to leave, this far they have gone along with leave, to show unity to the country as they seen it as a full gone confusion, BUT now, Mrs May has given us light, given us a way, to take back what the country wants…..” something along them lines.

                                Christ if he was to win, he could pretend to try and fail, if he Healey wants to leave.

                                But I think the only chance labour has is to go all out referendum part 2.

                                 

                                Update. As ed says get the kids involved, they could have the majority of the young behind them, as the young vote was very pro EU.

                                  They look fab, I’d like one of them out the back of mine looking out over the sea at the ferries.

                                  A quick Amazon search finds a Sony one 2mp 20x 360°× 90° with 80m ir for £240. Which to me seems a decent price.

                                  How much is are your units. I’d imagine cheaper, as I doubt Amazon is anywhere near the cheapest for this type of kit.

                                  In the summer we are scaffolding out the side of our house to paint it and do some work on the chimney. I may chuck one one up.

                                  It can Partol the back yard  at night, not that it needs it, but it is very secluded, so wouldn’t hurt. And I can boat watch in the day.

                                  Though I’ll sell it to the wife as home security, and not another toy. Could also Aim it at at my next door neighbours car (6 series bm)   and see who keeps scratching it. Or rather catch the poisonous oap from next or but one.

                                   

                                  Edit-ooh a quick Google shows up £550+ for the hakivision models. I won’t be able to sell on on that much.

                                    I’m yet to see an economic model that works. Our current capitalist keynesian economic model was broken from day one.

                                    The problem with the supply and demand model is there always has to be a looser, many loosers for the few to get rich.

                                    At least with Socalism, the wealth is ‘meant’  to be distributed. I’m not saying that isn’t broken either.

                                    Personally I think the best way is a communist approach, but for that to work, everyone has to be in. Communism doesn’t work if only a few isolated states take it up.

                                    Communism gets a bad rap, “the failed experiment” as they call the USSR, but if it wasn’t for the rest of the world using capitalism, external inflation wouldn’t of bankrupted the communist States.

                                    I’m not for dictatorships (unless I’m it)  more of a star trek style utopia, I suppose that is more Socialist, but I don’t think there is much between the two.

                                    We will never get to the one world order, of no states and no shareholders, as there is to much for the current people in power, and wealth,  to lose.   with autonamation on the rise, along with population growth, unemployment is only going to rise, and keep rising.

                                    The current economic approach will not work for the future world to function.

                                    People need to be given fixed money, or credits, in lou of wanting to do hours, to add to the community /state /world /universe.  We need a world where money and wealth isn’t the driving factor. Maybe social standing will drive us, free schooling will let all who wants fulfil their ambition. Those who arnt if an educational mind will fill other rolls, but for just a few hours a week or month, not 10h a day.

                                    My ideas need a lot of fleshing out. I just know the current way will end in disaster. Lol end in disaster! it’s been constant war for the last x hundred years, it’s always been a disaster.

                                    Syria is all about money, as was Afghan and Iraq. And almost every other war in history.

                                        It was predictable. But I think she should of waited to trigger A50 untill after an election.

                                        If labour was clever they would campaign on reversing A50. Labour are in a mess, but they would have a good chance at some moderate success in an election if they went for the Stay vote.

                                        The country is still very closely divided, so that could make it Interesting.

                                        As it is, the tories will walk it.

                                          He is saying maybe some formite may be able to donate there old Desktop kit, if it’s got more grunt than the server your current using.

                                          Though today I’ve not noticed the slow down. Yesterday was bad.

                                          Well relatively bad, it was as about on par with the old mm site.

                                            Probably took then so long to “come up with their story” as they had to figure out what actually happened.

                                            If I planned to gas people on a large scale, I know I’d have my cover story in place, before I done the deed.

                                            Seems to be reports floating around the news agencies  now that it was isis launched a chlorine attack. Which sounds far more feasible.

                                            I wonder if trump will apologise if it proved true. Not that it matters as I think the US/EU/SA alliance has nill chance of laying any pipes ever in Syria now.

                                             

                                            In regards to South Korea, Ive not been following it, so don’t really have a view on it. I suppose I should give it some attention. All I know is what the MSM have said over the years, and i don’t trust them.
