  1. I didn't think steroids came in tablet form? I though injections only?
  2. Bang goes my weekend..... ;-)
  3. Working okay here with IE 10....
  4. Yes, all well and good but then the news will eventually turn in to the Internet with people looking at pictures of cats all the time?
  5. And I farted outside Sainsbury's and the note changed three times but it didn't make the news......
  6. Thanks for this - I will purchase some and compare them with Duracells.
  7. Thanks for this. Our equipment vendor says it's okay to use rechargeables and that they should be okay for a couple of months which is what we want.
  8. I need to purchase a lot of 9v batteries for use in motion sensing equipment. Alkaline 9v Duracells are expensive at £3.50 a go. I was thinking of using rechargeable, such as these: RS Components Duracell 9v Rechargeable Batteries With this charger: RS Components Duracell Battery Charger Does anyone have any experience of using these / any other recommendations? Many thanks.
  9. Yes, continue to block it. And tell any staff members that start bleating about it being blocked and want to overlook the provenance of the site because it "has some really good resources and I'm too lazy to create them myself because I've got more important things to do like update my Facebook status because I've got a new pair of shoes", that they're stupid. /RANT OVER
  10. You get all nostalgic over recalling: DOS 6.22 DEGAUSSING MONITORS TINKERING WITH CONFIG.SYS & AUTOEXEC.BAT FILES SOUNDBLASTER SOUNDCARDS DOOM

    Snow!

    Blizzard conditions on the A46 south of Coventry then clear through Coventry and up to north Warwickshire. The M6 southbound at junction 3 was stationary. Saw lots of people driving like muppets. The roads were gritted yesterday but you wouldn't have known it. We've got more snow forecast for this afternoon.
  12. Buy him / her a car that doesn't fit in to the boy-racer category. I bought my daughter a Peugeot 107. Get yourself and your partner / spouse named on the policy. Shop around and haggle. I did with Admiral and they knocked £100 off when I started whining. We paid £650 which was amazing but tbh my daughter was not named as the main driver as she wasn't. Don't be tempted to lie to the insurance companies over this.
  13. I didn't know they used the bike version here in the UK - thought it was just cars.
  14. Is that real? How did it happen as it's inside the van? Bizarre.
  15. And this is why I hate WMD....
  16. This would be my reaction to the Harlem Shake.....
  17. Lol, as if we need reminding - it's that yearly curse again. Always some fiddling required to make sure it all works..... :-)
  18. Does anyone else use this access control package? We've discovered that when there's a fire alarm, the software can't wake certain printers that have gone in to power saving mode to print the attendance lists for the fire drill roll call. Paxton know about it but say their package is working as it should :-/ Found this on the web: How to wakeup a sleeping network printer - Printers - Computer-Peripherals Fortunately the HP printer we use has an option to turn off power saving in the driver so we're waiting to test that it works now. Has anyone else come across this?
  19. SMALL PC: No, really this is what you get with the government cutbacks.....
  20. Hi, Does anyone know how to do a factory reset on an Olivetti PGL2045 B/W Laser Printer? By factory reset I do mean a total reset as the web interface was used to disable the LPT1 & USB ports, as well as the display panel on the system, as a security measure. We can now no longer get in to it via the web interface as we've discovered what I think is a bug because the moment DHCP gives it one of our xxx.xxx.005.xxx 255.255.240.000 addresses it doesn't like it. Powering off for long periods, reserving an IP address, etc, have no effect. Can't find much on Google other than one trick going in through the parallel port but as it's disabled we can't do that
  21. We're using CLOUDON and Dropbox.
  22. Yup, watch out - Tweet in rage - pay for it FOREVER!
  23. I've had a similar problem in our new build but with ceiling mounted projectors. We got the projector-shakes when people walked down the corridors, slammed doors, or when heavy lorries drove past. Better quality projector brackets and mounts that we insisted our supplier fit at their expense has lessened the problem. Periodically we make sure all the nuts are tight. :-/
