What are you talking about? I though everyone was a winner? And if you don't do well at school, you can always have a top 10 record.

In my old job I set up microwave bridges between sites. It was moderately successful. The microwave power was strictly governed, so to get further distance you had to have more sensitive 'ears' i.e. larger dishes. Microwave kit was expensive, so I'm guessing it's out of budget. How about a cantenna? I haven't tried this, or know anybody who has but..... what have you got to lose? Cantenna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is for Linux too, so I'm keen to see this. It's been a long time coming. I signed up for Beta months ago, but I haven't heard a peep since.

Mulab from mutools. I was a beta tester for its forerunner (Luna) a couple of years ago. Furthermore, it doesn't need to be installed. It can run standalone. There's a free version: http://www.mutools.com/info/docs/mulab/mulab-versions.html I don't use Windows any more, so I run Qtractor on Linux, but Mulab looks nice.

It's possible, for sure. You can do some amazing things with Blogger : The Confluent Forms blog You might want to look in here for templates. Many of them look very templatey, but hey, they're free. http://btemplates.com/

I know it's significantly over budget, but I recently bought a Sony NEX C3. It's a fabulous camera, it's low-light capability is so good I've only had to use the flash once or twice, even indoors. I would imagine that this feature is essential for drama shots. I bought it as a discontinued model from Argos for something like £200 ish. It has a flip screen so you can get shots from the hip or overhead. I'm a Canon DSLR user, but I use this Sony for everything now.

Are your wireless drivers up to date? There are an awful lot of things to check under AD, but do check Computer Config>Administrative Templates>System/Group Policy>Wireless Processing Policy> Allow processing across a slow network connection = Enabled Do not apply during periodic background processing = Disabled Process even if the Group Policy objects have not changed = Enabled We've also set this: Startup policy processing wait time Enabled Amount of time to wait (in seconds): 120

It seems to work along the lines of both machines routing through TeamViewer's company servers, with a pre-defined user ID and password identifying both parties. Otherwise, you'd be back to DIY routing and NATing problems. I can't vouch for the details, but they make a point of their security. TeamViewer Security

Hey - that's why you're paid the big bucks! Just kidding. I crack me up.

Close the browser, kill existing Kerberos tickets with the command klist purge, then retry the browser.

NTLM is not an efficient protocol. For every single object retrieved, you'll see a deny, a challenge and an authentication response in your logs if you have full logging enabled. I've had a world of hurt getting Kerberos and NTLM working through Squid on Linux, but I digress. Kerberos is a much more effiecient protocol, network wise. For troubleshooting, get the 'Firebug' extension loaded up into Firefox on your clients and see what this says. I'm quite sure it will narrow down the problem.

If anyone has a single speed (or a hub-geared bike) you might want to try this, especially with winter coming up. I'm sure we can find some of this stuff lying around. Around cables, admittedly, but around nonetheless.

Try Teamviewer. It's free for non-commercial use and has Windows and Linux clients. TeamViewer - Free Remote Control, Remote Access & Online Meetings RPM and DEB files here: Free TeamViewer Download for Linux

I did this once. You'll get 'traders' coming around and picking up your baskets of leads getting a feel for the weight of them. Tip: put some rocks in the bottom.

That looks fantastic. It's a great way of marking the machines without ruining them. And I suppose you could pre-empt fate by marking them "Stolen from XYZ school"!

Boot to Gecko / Firefox OS seems to be gaining momentum. It looks like they've built an app store, details below. A sneak peek at Firefox OS app store, part of Mozilla's mobile play | Digital Trends I'm a happy Android user, but I'm very interested in Firefox's efforts as I like what Mozilla is all about. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this pans out.

It was probably a high performance P7 emitter torch. I've got one of these, they're OK at a push. But if you want the best light (without spending absurd money), this is the bike light to get: http://www.philips.co.uk/c/Bicycle%20bulbs/saferide-80-lux-bf48l20bblx1/prd/ Make sure you get the battery powered one, there's a similar looking dynamo version. I'm not normally prone to free advertising, but I've ridden with this through last winter and it's been fantastic. I've ridden unlit canal paths at 20mph with no worries. On paper, it might not appear as impressive with a lower lumen count than many other torches. The secret is in the reflector and lens. Torches just throw out a ball of light. When you light up a wall or a tree this looks impressive, but it's not good on paths or roads as about half the light is wasted once you point the torch towards the horizon. This Philips is engineered to produce a wide beam with a top cut-off just like a motorbike. All the light is used illuminating the path. It also doesn't dazzle other road users and the beam throw makes you look more like a vehicle than a bike. Its housing is alloy, not plastic, and it takes 4 AA rechargeable batteries. The housing has a USB charging socket so your computer can top it up while at work. It's expensive (RRP £99) but I've spent more than that finding this out. It might seem a gushing recommendation, but good products should be recommended.

I was stunned to read this. Reading the comments below the article gives you a nice balanced view of both sides of the story. North Weald: Man in bid to build garden shed | This is Essex This is a more sombre tale, though. I do hope it ends happily. Lost scarf found in high street | This is Essex

It does look like fun....

I think that you have to stump up the return postage costs. Some suppliers will refund you, but when I last looked at this, they didn't have to. Perhaps I am wrong. It's a similar situation to, say, returning to Currys with a faulty TV and asking for your petrol money back.

The Avant browser will do exactly what you want. I use it for testing our proxies. You can quickly change proxies (with different credentials) from the Tools>Proxy option. Use the Tools>Proxy>Customise to add as many proxy/user combinations as you need. Home - Avant Browser - The full-featured tri-core rendering Avant Browser which supports IE/Firefox/Chrome engines is fast, stable and memory leak free. It has quite a few other nifty features too. It can change rendering engines on the fly, which is handy for web developers.

It's probably a solution. But to what problem?

How absurd. If I saw that trundling down the corridor I'd lock it in a cupboard.

It is isn't it? Every logo you make will be fabulous with this. It will make all your dreams come true.* *Your dreams may differ from those illustrated.

It's probably part of a colour scheme - most likely quadratic. Complementary and triadic colour schemes are absolutely everywhere - look here for examples. http://blog.pixellogo.com/printing/the-colour-wheel-and-logo-design/ Here's a mixer which every designer should look at. For a quick start, click 'triadic' then the randomize button. It will generate colours that complement each other. If you're designing a logo, you simply cannot put a foot wrong if you use a triadic/complementary colour schemes, although you may end up with something safe and predictable.
