Checking RSOP should be your first port of call with an issue like this. Are you redirecting start menus to a networked location, or are the files local?

Not all diesels have a DPF, though there are of course other (If debatable) reasons not to get a diesel for short journeys.

Saw this on Watchdog where they were charging the debit card each month and the bank claimed they couldn't stop it. I don't get why they couldn't just cancel the card? -
Office365 - what are the costs to use?? How does it compare to google mail??

I don't know - I'm not an expert, but this is Google's official line: Your data will be stored in Google's network of data centers. Google maintains a number of geographically distributed data centers, the locations of which are kept discreet for security purposes. Google's computing clusters are designed with resiliency and redundancy in mind, eliminating any single point of failure and minimizing the impact of common equipment failures and environmental risks. And I know this line has caused people to not go with them. If Norfolk have gone, then they're clearly satisfied that they're fulfilling their obligations. -
Not sure if that was an agreement, or not, but yeah...! Fine grained passwords are a Godsend (And years overdue) and DFSR is better than FRS.

Remember that Google Mail will be stored outside of the EU - that's enough to scrub it in many environments. -
Have you tried checking it with Effective Permissions? Edit: Try logging on as the LOCAL administrator to try this.

They're good changes, though

This is the problem, I'd say. There's always someone who knows something you don't, and that's fine, but to fail them is out of order. I got a C in GCSE IT - pretty bad, but then I didn't bother starting my coursework until the last lesson.. My girlfriend at the time was at a different school (One that hits the top of the UK wide league tables..) and was tasked with building a website in her IT course. She wanted to do well and naturally asked me. I helped her do it, teaching her HTML, CSS, a bit of basic PHP and MySQL etc etc. The key thing is taught, I sat with her for hours - it wasn't a complicated website, really (And it'd look even less so nowadays, with Web 2.0) but it looked really professional and was 100% standards compliant. I think she got a D. Of course, those who did it in FrontPage and made sure to include plenty of animated Gifs did great. Not that I care - I did fine without their help. Sadly, for me, it wasn't until college that lecturers would actually say "Wow, that's really cool - how did you do that?". I still have the graded exam that I did while there - one section was a mock proposal from an IT company to a customer. I just used what I knew, and made it fit with the questions and went into epic detail. It was simply annotated with "Incredible." I'll never fault my college lecturers.

Good effort. Here is mine: And occasionally I get to drive the missuses: Though while I did run it every day for 5 years, I then went modern and now I run a cheap and cheerful Mondeo 2.0l TDCI. I've put 20k on it since May and it's doing okay so far.

a) No, not to any measure worth worrying about and it certainly won't affect your MOT / legality. b) Nothing happens - I don't quite know what you mean, there. It's just like permanently having the valve closed which it is some of the time by design. Edit: To be fair, one issue you MAY have is the engine management light coming on. I guess that can be a deal killer for some people - I personally didn't have the issue, and often you can just get the code reset. Or live with it!

Honestly, you're missing out! It's a standard mod I'll do every car I have from now on.

Is yours common rail? I do anything from 500 miles a week onwards, so I've always been tempted. It's definitely the pump and injectors I'd worry about - I service it often, so the fuel filter doesn't really worry me as it's a 10 minute job. Edit; You've got me thinking now Does it make your car smell, though?

Just can't bring myself to do that I'd just keep thinking of the inside of my precious engine!
