A great start to the New Year. Thank you one and all.
There is a 5th dimension,beyond that which is known to man.It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity,between science& superstition,& it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge.This is the dimension of imagination.It is an area which we call PCLINUXOS!

Nice to see the "Nexus 7" article.

There need to be more information on the forum about how to deal with android and other devices that use "mtp" protocol to expose their files and folders because more and more support questions about them will start to show up since recent versions of android use the protocol extensively and almost inclusively in some devices.

Many other predictions have been made throughout history, foretelling the “end of days” for mankind and for our home among the cosmos. They have, as we know, all come and gone with barely a notice. The return of Halley’s Comet every 72 years brings out a flurry of doomsayers. Even the appearance of the Hale-Bopp comet in early 1997 brought about the infamous Heaven’s Gate cult. They believed an alien spaceship was hidden in the bright tail of the comet, which was to serve as their “escape vehicle” before the earth was “recycled” (wiped clean, renewed, refurbished and rejuvenated). In order to gain passage on the spaceship, they were convinced that they had to commit suicide and ascend to a higher plane. Police found the dead bodies of 39 members of the cult.


Creepy .......... :o :o :o

Sorry to bother you guys, I didn't know where else to post this.  I am having issues downloading the january edition of the mag.  I have tried many times to download the pdf, visit the html version etc but the links just aren't working for me.  The page just sits there saying 'connecting' before eventually timing out.  I have tried on another machine also with a different OS with the same results.  Sugestions?  Oh, I'm in UK by the way.

Cheers,

Al.

Hello Al.
I'm also in the UK. All of the links are working for me. I don't know if it's relevant or not, but I'm using fully updated KDE and Opera browser.

Good luck.
