  1. We've had Securus for about a year now. I just configure our Securus to EXCLUDE words like LIK...
  2. To quote one Homer J Simpson: "It's funny coz it's true!"
  3. i tend to trawl a few IT websites... theregister.co.uk, tomshardware.com, bluesnews.com (gming related, but has some other IT stuff), arstechnica.com come to mind
  4. here's an OLD link suggesting it requires a firmware update. check the HP site for latest firmware http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=0&prodSeriesId=322916&prodNameId=306698&swItem=PSG_I20968-105261&swEnvOid=2008&swLang=8&taskId=135&mode=3

  6. I used to play a lot of MOHAA back in the day. Then BF1942 and BF Vietnam, then switched to CSS and BF2. Now almost 100% BF2.
  7. Having read this thread I've just started using this nifty little app too. I packaged it up as an MSI in 5 mins and put a shortcut in the startup items
  8. What chipset? Intel uses CTRL-ALT-Up and CTRL-ALT-Down You can disable this in the Intel Extreme Control Panel
  9. I've been having problems at home with Vista (Ultimate) corrupting XLS (Office XP, not even 2003) files when I copy them to a memory stick. This is with UAC turned off too. Maybe try to copy it to another networked (XP) PC *then* onto a memory stick?
  10. does it have a reset switch on it?
  11. Since I inherited the Internet/Intranet here I'm been looking at Joomla, but haven't found the time to do anything... ...yet. However, with the recent addition of this advert to our vacancies section, maybe I won't have to worry about it at all soon??? Either way, I'd also like to see some examples...
  12. I was tempted to post to this thread yesterday morning about how it was hot here in Essex and how I hadn't seen rain for ages. However yesterday afternoon it chucked it down. So much, in fact, that the PFY here got a call from his Mum at about 3:30 to say that her garage was flooded, and could he come home ASAP......... Sunny again today mind...
  13. When I was taught touch-typing MANY moons ago, the 4 fingers of your left hand went on ASDF and the 4 of your right hand went on JKL;. If you wanted Q then the A finger went up, W -> S, etc. The same for going down. So It makes sence that you'd use the S key for X. Although the D key seems more comfortable to me - over the years my typing has mutated from pure touch typing into a floating whatever-finger-is-closest-to-the-key method, plus it was so long ago I'm not sure I remember correctly anyway... So I haven't really answered your Q have I Sorry I'm left handed so by brain is wired back to front anyway. Come to think of it, as I'm from NZ my brain is also upside down (whilst in the UK anyway ) so I never stood a chance...
  14. I've saved quite a large collection of IT related Dilbert cartoons over the years. Mostly "Dogbert's Tech Support". They're scarily close to the truth...
  15. can you back anything up with windows backup?
  16. it could be that the drive is knackered. i've had instances in the past where this has been the problem and veritas has given seemingly non-related errors. that was on autoloader units though... and yours is a single unit isn't it?
  17. none that we've got, no different clips on each side.
  18. Hi All... Have been lurking here for a few weeks and am very glad I found this site (via El Reg) My claim to fame is that I was one of the BOFH's original victims, being a student at Waikato University in NZ where Simon Travaglia worked when he started writing BOFH in the early 90's...
  19. We've switched away from Dell because a lot of the older ones have had capacitors on the mobo dying...
  20. We've just bought a load of these to replace some aging PC's... Product Specs PDF They came with DVD drives and a Media Card reader in the FDD slot (I'm told there wasn't an option to not have them included!??! I'm not sure... I don't do the ordering). Instead of just disconnecting them internally to stop them being used, we ideally we want to remove them altogether otherwise the students will eventually trash them, but I've hunted high and low to find 5.25" and 3.5" blanking plates etc for them but aren't having any luck. What would you recommend I do? a) Leave them in and just disconnect them? b) Try and fashion bespoke blanking plates from something (if so, what?) c) Put proper HP blanking plates in (if so, where do I get them?) d) Other (please specify) Thanks in advance Jim
  21. Getting picked for my Primary school's first XI cricket team back in NZ in the early 80's by opening the bowling at the "trials", and taking 4 wickets in the first over (including a hat-trick).
  22. Procurves have always been my preference...
  23. Do any other USB devices work from the *same* USB socket? (i know you already said you have an IWB in another one)
  24. Have you tried reinstalling the Veritas tape drivers?
