errrm, about that... just lemme go and... errmmmm

In the interest of making things a little more tense... +1 for Rawns *whispers* I haven't even listened to the entries *whispers*

This is a ridiculous idea in my opinion - yes something needs to be done about the kn*bs who have a car bought for them by their parents, and then spend their time putting tinny exhausts on and driving around like numpties until they smash the car to pieces - but this is penalising the many because of the few. I'm 20years old have been driving 3years in March... Touch wood not a bump or scrape so far! I do however, believe the passplus should be mandatory, and part of the learning process should be offroad learning how to manouvere in different conditions (heavy rain, snow, ice etc). IMO, the best option (although unlikey to ever happen), would be to incorparate it into the curriculum and learn offroad from the age of say 12, but not be legally allowed on the roads until you're 17. I think it's Norway (might be elsewhere) that currently do this and they have one of the lowest road accident / casualty rates in the world. edit: People mentioning their insurance - My first years insurance @ 18 was just over £4000 (cheapest I could find) and that was in a '99 Corsa 1.4 (cost me £500) - I'd got quoted for a 1L and that was a whole £200 cheaper over the year. I know drive a '02 focus 1.6 and am paying just over £1000.

You've spelt my name wrong in every video so far!

Not to be a pain and bump my thread but... bump?

I personally choose to believe that's actually Rufus - after all he is a talking dog, why not a computing dog?

BEST. PRIZE. EVER. Forget the PS4, I'll have one of these!

Hi all, Forgive me if this is a very basic question, but I just can't seem to figure it out. Basically since we've moved staff up to Windows 7, if the staff right click on the audio in the system tray and choose "Playback Devices" or "Recording Devices" they get the "The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions on the computer. Please contact your administrator." prompt as though a GPO is blocking it - but I can't seem to figure out which policy it is to give them access. Anyone any idea what needs enabling? Basically the Music and IT staff need to access this, so they switch between the mic as the recording device and the computers playback as the recording device - but obviously we don't want them access control panel etc... Thanks in advance. Edit: Forgot to mention, this is on a Windows 2008 server and a Windows 7 Client.

I normally try to resist correcting people, but seeing as though you're usually quick to spot the mistakes, I couldn't help myself.

*maniac...?

Quick fix: I can personally assure you, if you do it right, none of the WMI filters will apply

Me...

That looks like a decent site for primary and secondary - Cheers. That'd work to an extent, ie no one would be able to see what they're posting and speak to them, but I don't think encouraging them to use twitter is a good idea at that age (6-11) - considering some of the content on there...

172 aaand.... Dinner time is over

I wasn't aware it worked on IE, I always assumed it was something magical that Firefox did - thanks for the tip!

Oh come on... I JUST got 156... I'll be back!

Challenege accepted! edit: 156

That's pretty cool! Yahoo's come a long way, Amazon on the other hand looks almost the same

We've had to change our homepage to Bing (shudder) today to stop the students playing the little game on the Google homepage - meanwhile I think it's pretty good What's everyone's top score? Mine's 128 (I've no idea if that's good or bad).

PM Sent - If any of the info doesn't make sense, let me know and I'll point you in the right direction. The paranoid android ROM looks good, but I found it to be very buggy, crashes a lot and restarts the phone randomly. I also foud that after a few week of using it - the notifications stopped working on my phone so I weren't aware of text messages or emails coming through... Although I was using a very early release of it - it may have improved since then. All I got when I flashed this on was a boot-loop. I followed the instructions to the dot and boot-loop. I also tried flashing it using different methods but faced the same problem eveytime. Might have to give it another go. Did look like a good solid ROM though from what the guys at XDA-Dev were saying. Looks alright - good spec too! Shame they've not tried to be a bit more competitive on the price.

I'll be honest - I just wanted the sweets... Although I definitely wouldn't be complaining if I won the PS4

I was preferably looking for something more like the edmodo idea where there was no setup or in house hosting - this way the teachers can set it up, have full control over it and it's pretty easy for them to use. I'll create an account with them today and trial it out myself before rolling it out. Need to be sure it's private and is going to work before rolling it out. If not I'll give the others a trial - thanks

So a primary school I support are wanting some sort of forum, or messgae board setting up that can be completely private to the school, each child and teacher have their own account, and be able to use it to communicate between classes about different topics and events that may be going on around school. Has anyone ever come across something that does this, or can anyone suggest something? I'm trying to stay away from the kind of idea of setting up our own internal wordpress server. I've found edmodo.com - has anyone used it? Would anyone recommend it? It looks good and a similar layout to facebook which could simplify things a little as most staff use facebook and I'm pretty sure even the students do (let's not get into that though).

It makes perfect sense! You just have to think REALLY hard about it
