I've got a mixer with a similar problem - no output on one of the XLR channels. I suspect a dry joint on the XLR out socket as the mixer is operating in stereo for all output apart from the XLR. Can you check the Alt 3/4 outputs, headphone and unbalanced output sockets? If these work, it's a single socket fault.

This is a gem - a clip from the '80s of a BBC Radiophonic musician doing a reworking of the second Dr Who theme (the best one, in my opinion)

Robocopy can do this easily. You can provide a set of filenames to copy on the command line. Robocopy "Robust File Copy" | Windows CMD | SS64.com

I use an ancient version of the full-blown InstallShield. I've written my own custom actions and scripting, but if you are simply dropping program files into the correct place, there are free tools which might be all you need. There's a free version of Anvanced Installer which looks quite good. Worth evaluating at any rate. Advanced Installer - Features Instedit is free and allows custom actions and features, as well as transform files, but it requires a bit of investment of your time to understand it.

Powershell (which I find horrible) is better than VBS (which is also horrible), but if you require VBS this snippet might be useful. Amend as required. Set printerscollectionobj = NetObj.enumprinterconnections For i = 0 To (printerscollectionobj.Count - 1) printerpath = CStr(printerscollectionobj.Item(i)) If Left(printerpath, 2) = "\\" Then NetObj.removeprinterconnection printerpath If Left(printerpath, 3) = "LPT" and InStr(1,printerpath,":")=0 Then NetObj.removeprinterconnection printerpath Next

Very sage. Wise words indeed.

I used the Google compare just the other day to get car insurance. It worked well, very slick.

I'm waiting for Prints Of Persia.

Touché! That'll learn me. Going off on a tangerine, PointLinux caught my eye. It's Debian 7 but with MATE interface and bundled with non-free drivers. So if you can't be bothered configuring Debian, it could be worth a spin. It's quietly building a nice reputation. I might take a look on the weekend. http://pointlinux.org/

What do you think of Centos's implementation of Gnome? I find it weird. It's like MATE or Gnome 2, then you hit Activities and you get a Gnome 3 screen. I got the 'Windows 8' shudder when I saw it. Like they glued two interfaces together.

What do you want to do? Centos, while it can be used on the desktop, is a more conservative (i.e. older and more stable) release and is favoured as a server OS. Fedora is a cutting-edge desktop with newer packages. At work I use a mixture of Centos 6 and Ubuntu servers and I don't find myself preferring one over the other. My work desktop is Ubuntu 12.04, and at home I use Ubuntu 14.04 as I prefer Unity over Gnome or KDE.

Excellent. "Now the chips are down" was the episode that was credited with kickstarting the British micro revolution in the early '80s. BBC iPlayer - Horizon - 1977-1978: Now The Chips Are Down

In a nutshell. Moreover, the longer the kettle takes to boil, the more heat is lost in radiation. Why are there no insulated kettles? I think the secret is better design, rather than lower power (though this would come as a consequence of the better design)

I've got a Worcester 24i. I had it installed in 2002, so I guess it's OK. The only problems I encountered were a failed fan (about £100) and a failed relay on the board (which coincidentally controlled the fan). Based on a sample size of 1, I would say it's OK considering how much it's been used. I even wrote a blog entry on how to replace the relay. Fixing a Worcester 24i boiler. Fan stops working, water runs cold. - Blogs - EduGeek.net The Worcester may or may not be the best, but every plumber knows them and it's important to consider the availability of parts years down the line. That said, many sister recently had a new condenser boiler which are supposed to be much more efficient.

I haven't used Windows for music in a long time, but I remember that ASIO4ALL was good for low latency. ASIO4ALL - Universal ASIO Driver

Kettles to be limited to 150W. As mitigation, the EU is proposing to lower the boiling point of water to 60'C.

Try the internal diags. First thing would be the network test. Paste this into your Chrome browser. chrome://net-internals/#tests Try the Capture as well. See if this sheds any light.

The most flexible solution would be to get a MIDI to USB converter. Connected to a PC, you can use your sequencer of choice with synth plug-ins.

Good grief! I have two Henrys. Well, one Henry and one Hetty (best not to ask). They are the best cleaners ever. I will run them both simultaneously in protest.

So line rental is a must with BT then. Oh well. No custom from me, then.

Mr Box (if that IS your real name) - you're looking for logic where there is none. Line rental is so engrained in the mind that they can charge for it even though it doesn't exist. I'm on broadband-only with Virgin, I managed to negotiate a retentions deal which runs out soon. I'm all out of cards, so I'll probably have to pay the going rate for broadband only. Virgin's services share a common media (the coax) so the phone line rental is a bit of a cheek as it doesn't really exist. Yes, you have an allocated number, but I've got a geographic number from Draytel VOIP provider on a pre-pay scheme. I spent less that £5 per year on my 'landline'. No rental charges! It's only used for the occasional call abroad. I've said it before, but fixed phone is archaic. The only commodity of value is broadband, and the suppliers know that. In this crazy world, I've found that it can be cheaper to get a bundle with a phone line than without. By the way - a BT fibre cabinet has appeared in my street. How does that work? Do you still need a phone line to it or do they run a coax to your house a la Virgin?
