LosOjos

All true, but we're talking about right here, right now, and a bit of a laugh on the internet Also, USB2 was backwards compatible so not the same problem.

It has a single USB-C port which is to be used for charging, connecting displays, connecting devices (that don't exist yet or are abhorrently expensive due to 'early adopter tax') - the joke is you won't be able to connect any of your existing devices as it contains no compatible USB ports. But it's much funnier if you take your Apple defense hat off first

Hi all, I'm having an intermittent problem with an old intranet server here. It will work fine for weeks, then suddenly Windows authentication will stop working completely. The usual behaviour is the user isn't aware of any login as I'm just using access permissions in ASP.NET to let only certain AD groups through. I have also manually added the server's local admin account as an allowed user. When the failure happens, users are prompted for their login details, but even entering them correctly doesn't allow them access to the site. If I enter the server's local admin credentials however, it authenticates. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? As I say, this problem rears it's ugly head every few weeks, I try restarting it a couple of times, nothing seems to work then eventually, it will start working again.

I have found his recent books a little hard-going to be honest - I don't know if it was just psychological, but I have felt like since he has relied more heavily on ghost writers, they've lost a lot of Pratchett's personality and I haven't enjoyed them as much. I'll give them another go eventually, but I still have plenty of older Discworld novels to catch up on first!

When you stare at code for long enough, it all stops making sense! A fresh pair of eyes often helps

I loved the Golems' story in Discworld too - Feet of Clay is one of my favourites.

Because you're initiating pos as a string with this line: var pos="1"; So when you do +20, it appends it, so it goes: 1, 120, 12020, 1202020 etc. It should be: var pos = 1; $(".funnyperson").each( function(){ $(this).animate({ "left": pos.toString()+"px", "top": "10px" }, 500); pos = pos + 20; } ); Not tested, but that's what jumps out at me

You can use the SUBTOTAL to do this through a little trickery. Next to your points column (or somewhere near) add a =SUBTOTAL(9,CELL) (i.e. if your points are in O2, it's be =SUBTOTAL(9,O2)) Now, shift your LARGE formula range to look at your new subtotals, and it'll work with filters. The trick is, because you're using SUBTOTAL on your points, when rows are hidden, SUBTOTAL becomes 0, taking it right to the bottom of the range LARGE looks at. Hope that makes sense, I'll upload an example if not

First thing that pops to mind is how are they calculating KS2 fine levels? FFT calculate these slightly differently to the DfE, so if they're using their own calculations, that could explain the difference. An analysis of Key Stage 2 reliability and validity

More info on this shared in a Wired interview (and they mention my daughter's project! ) - sounds like it's come on a long way since I played with it! Micro Bit: hands-on with BBC's coding kit (Wired UK)

Even though I knew he was ill, this still somehow came as a shock - really enjoyed the Discworld series and before I got in to those I loved the Johnny Maxwell trilogy. A sad loss

If that's an actual photo of the machine, it looks like an upgraded version of their Code Bug which I had a play with last year; it's nothing like a Raspberry Pi. It can only be programmed via a Scratch-like interface running on a PC/Mac/Linux (there was only a 64-bit Ubuntu package when I tried it, no documentation) and their sole function is to blink the LEDs in that grid. Here's a video of them in action (one of the teams I mentored at YRS produced this): [You can only see the LEDs because we were told we were not to reveal the fact these were produced by the BBC as they were only prototypes and they didn't want any media coverage; this despite a CBBC presenter having already blogged on the BBC's website about them ] I helped the kids to hack the device a little; they programmed it using the aforemnetioned interface to play a different animation depending on which button was pressed. I helped them wire these buttons up to GPIO pins on a Raspberry Pi so that they could then trigger an animation via GPIO/Python. It was also clear from the IDE that they were planning on making them sense input from 4 of the 6 rings around the LEDs (banana plug sized through holes; 1 +5v, 1 GND, 4 for sensing) but this wasn't implemented at the time. The IDE actually produced JavaScript code before compiling and uploading, suggesting there'll be ways of programming them in other languages. Had we more time, we would have tried to work this out looking at the HTTP headers (the interface was web based) but we were too busy at the time. So it's a fun little gadget and I do think it'd be great to get younger kids interested in coding (anything physical seems to peak their interest) but it's a long way off a Raspberry Pi alternative.

It is determined by the extension, however the only formats CommandReporter handles are XML, CSV and RTF - it defaults to CSV, which is why you're getting that instead of XLS, as it doesn't recognize XLS. Is there a particular reason it has to be XLS rather than CSV? You can script the conversion in PowerShell/VBS, but I wouldn't bother unless it's absolutely necessary as CSV is fully compatible with Excel anyway; you'll just be increasing the file size by making the conversion.

It is similar, but not as good. Limitless had a story beyond the abilities, Lucy doesn't. But yeah you're right, the premise has already been done. In fact I may well watch Limitless again - I remember liking it but I didn't buy it (that's my sign I really enjoyed a film!), might be worth another try.

It seems to be loved by people I have spoken to so far, much to my disappointment. Worst film (regardless of genre) I have seen in at least 10 years, quite possibly the worst I've ever watched start to finish. Absolutely zero depth to the story, nothing interesting happens after the first 10 minutes, then it ends in what I can only describe as WTF. The premise was awesome, the execution dire. I hope someone runs with the idea and makes a decent Sci-Fi out of it though.

The entire movie was an error

I've never seen either of them in the same room as Lilly Savage either.

This has been bugging me. Your statements do not add up. AFAIK, consumer SSDs have been around since 2007ish (less than 10 years). Here are some rough ideas on prices of SSDs over time: http://royal.pingdom.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/hdd-ssd.0022.jpg Source So let's just say SSDs were available to consumers in 2005, and for simplicity's sake let's just say the price remained the same as it was in 2007 (roughly $40/GB). For your claims to stand up RE caring more about an SSD than CPU speed, even a measly 64GB SSD would have cost you around $2,560 ten years ago. Are you really claiming that at those kinds of prices, you've been opting for SSDs over a better CPU for all that time? Or are you in fact just talking poop?

Alternatively, if there are templates you know you don't need any more, you can delete them en massé via "Tools > Performance > Assessment > System Utilities > Templates" and following the wizard. This won't delete the actual results, aspects or gradesets, just the template and any associated marksheets which should make the Marksheet Entry page load quicker. That said, I think Marksheet Entry is possibly the least efficient way for a data manager to access marksheets, much better to go via template as @gazskeltz said.

I have a really handy miniature laptop with an SSD in it here I'll sell you for £200? Don't worry about the specs, it has an SSD.

And here it is minus the batteries, keyboard, trackpad and screen: http://i.imgur.com/PZGqj3A.jpg Surely, this is a push even for Apple? Dual core 1.1Ghz CPU in a machine that's going to cost £1,000+? Surely even die hard Apple fans will find that a bit rich?

Is it not more cost effective to have a local/online company make t-shirts than have a printer dedicated to it? Will be better quality too...

Can't move around corners. I just couldn't get past that...

Just as a little update - I've got to say, I much prefer using the ad with XB1 sticks. I'll be doing this simple mod to all my DS4s in future. As a side note, I got 2 pads at the same time as my PS4 in November; the rubber on the unmodified pad is wearing off already, and it sees very little use, especially since I modded one of the pads as we all prefer using the modified one!
