chrismurphy85 My very first cellphone was a Philips Savvy, which my mum bought for me in 2000. It had a tiny dot-matrix type screen and could only be used for phone calls and text messages. I think there might have been a very basic game on there too, but I can't...

"That's a Scam" ----- NO That's Libel and Slander! --- Must read----

diamania @diamania (7011) • Netherlands 11 Oct 10

I hear more and more people saying that things are becoming scam. I don't necessarily mean the PTC sites. We know that all PTC sites are going belly up a point in time anyway, so that's definitely not what I mean. What I do...

chrismurphy85 If I were to start my own band I would like it to be either a rock or heavy metal band, maybe take our influences from bands like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Metallica. Those are my favourite genres of music.

chrismurphy85 I really liked Art at school, mainly because I enjoyed drawing and painting and also because I have an artistic nature (or so I'm told). I really disliked Geography, although that was mostly because I didn't like the teacher very much.

chrismurphy85 Interesting subject. I use my left ear when I'm on the phone. I don't like using my right ear. I have used my right ear a couple of times but had to switch to my left ear after a few seconds because it feels uncomfortable.

To Validate or Not To Validate

igoshuster @igoshuster (43) • France 13 Sep 10

I have done several projects on web design and only in some cases the customer mentioned valid HTML and CSS code as a must. In most cases (my stats are based only on the work I've done) customers didn't mention that as a necessary...

chrismurphy85 I always validate my website using W3C Validator. My main reason for always doing this is that it makes it easier for Google and other Search Engines to crawl and read your website if the coding is validated and error-free (although validating doesn't...

Channels that should change its name?

chrismurphy85 I think that the BBC 1 should change it's name to BBC Repeat. Every time I flick to a BBC channel it always seems to be a repeat they are showing. Very annoying, considering we pay the Licence Fee to give them money to make decent shows.
