Watched 3/4 of the first episode. Woeful doesn't come close.

Like this?

Well, tbf 'Bosstown' Dynamics was a bit of a giveaway...

However, it looks like they forgot to program in the Three Laws of Robotics. That is scary...

This^. Your only defence is the inverse square law. Double the distance ; 1/4 the power.

Do Sky run their own cables? Otherwise you are running on BT copper, and relying on Sky to argue with BT. OK, thy will have more clout then you...

A VDG will be a broadband emitter. It could easy kill a PC with no connection between them at that distance. Equally, it could have killed the monitor.

OK, not specifically computer desks, but "Study bays" or "individual work spaces" should be 800, pref 900 wide for senior pupils. The AJ handbook refers to two standards for school furniture, these seem to mainly deal with heights and depths in relation to smaller kids:- BS5873: Part 1 1980 BS EN 1729 Table 3 Please note, my copy is rather dated at 1999!

There is a publication called "The Architects Journal Metric Handbook". See if it is in there. I may have a copy somewhere, I'll look.

Has the thought of Donny 45 having a 5 1/4" floppy one crossed anyone else's mind?

Just to throw into the mix - Your name set isn't going to be restricted to the current 1700 kids is it? You will need to look at at least 4 year's worth of ex-pupils / staff.

If you are going to ask the head, add the ? first or you'll be writing out lines...

Having had the correct thread pointed out... Amazon LED tape

From IEC to Telefunken* is allowed, the opposite isn't. If you go Tele to IEC, there is no earthing, this is "A BAD THING". *For clarity - always specify in the direction of current flow.

Nice find!

Equal Rites is pretty much up there. Early, with plenty of character development yet to come, but more fully formed as a story.

[h=1]And the Mountains Echoed - Khaled Hosseini [/h] Not my normal reading, but had read The Kite Runner a few years back. Hmmm... Dunno what to think of it really.

AND if a 10+m HDMI does get the end ripped off by a teacher forgetting to unplug before walking off, it costs £afew rather than many £10s plus getting ladders, towers, caretakers involved in repairs.

I'd not do that. Have a short, easy to replace, cable from the wall to the teachers' machine.

Until very recently, I used a tablet and MediaMonkey Remote to WOL and play music from the PC. Now, I can wake the PC, but MM doesn't output sound until I log back in on the PC. Works thereafter, until it sleeps again. May the fleas of a thousand camels infest their armpits!

Isolation transformer. Dead cheap from CPC and the like. Link

Has it got rocket launchers or flamethrowers? Nah? I'll wait for the production model...

Whatever the Scum are advertising, I don't want it.

And the first result is that it becomes easier for the increasingly fascist govts world wide to demonize "those dirty foreigners" if we aren't meeting them. The world, I thought for a while, was getting more interconnected and nicer.

You missed the bit where you start a new entity called mvach next week, and carry on as if nothing happened.
