  1. I would say download them from the exam board websites and use a pdf editor like Acrobat Pro to do as you please with them, its the one program in that suite that can be extremely handy
  2. Thought they were mostly software development and consulting these days, I haven't seen an IBM server in about 12 years, place I used to work had 2 massive Netfinity servers running SCO Unix at the time, reliable stuff at the time, but expensive I think.
  3. by fire be purged !
  4. Cant help but feel that the start menu is pinching a bit of Cinnamon with Linux there and the virt desktops. Nice enough so far though, 8.1 is a decent base to build up from just hope they dont stick an edge on every window ! like Linux/Macs
  5. Literally everyone in my family loves baked beans, even my 18 month old doesn't mind them when he's tried them, my father will eat them with pretty much anything, but I just cannot abide them, the thought of it repulses me.
  6. gonna be adding to my Pacific Rim wall posters tomorrow I see. some of them here make me laugh out loud
  7. I thought I was the only baked bean hater ! not alone \0/
  8. read that wrong first off then skim reading, thought you had made a load of "Hedgehog" Jelly Looks nice there though
  9. the only "good" bulb Ikea used to do was a 150w screw in bulb one for their Not floor lamps, one of those bad boys in your lamp and it illuminated half your house, can't imagine why they don't offer them anymore, probably because they were leaving shadows on the walls in peoples houses. I dont mind energy savers but I tend to want ones that have a rating of 100w + equivalency, anything lower makes for a struggle on the eyes overall.
  10. +1 for Wordpress, easily customisable and plenty of plugins/features of high standards, themes and plugins can be bought easily enough too
  11. Thanks @Arthur, I will have a look in the office tomorrow, this could end a bit of pain that's been going on lately for a couple of users with crashes.
  12. I had a feeling the chromebooks days were numbered with them, they didn't set the world alight with their last offering, ARM just isn't an overly attractive platform for any OS in my opinion, plus there's not massive margins in Chromebooks, people expect them to be as cheap as chips now I think. Chromebooks in the UK in general suffer from a lack of RAM, display's and styling options (I was railroaded to a White HP 14 here, the best of three awful colours and the only chromebook in the UK with 4gb of RAM at the time, decent machine and doesn't in any way feel underpowered)
  13. From the experience I have had with a family member (pita younger sister) decide on the name first not afterwards and be decisive ! I have one domain I registered which is decent for her, she has about 4/5 now that she's registered on a whim and semi-established before changing her mind with her therapy business, she's young though and won't listen to sense and knows it all, I can see from monitoring the one I registered gets a bit more traffic than her own domain names she registered (I registered the domain to the City in the locality, she's gone for something unrelated to the geography thinking she's created a "Brand"). Most hosts these days tend to chuck in the cPanel stuff which usually has a website builder as part of it, failing that it isn't horribly hard to get a Wordpress site up and running and altered to make it look more "Businesslike" if you don't have the ability or time to invest in a "Professional" production of a website
  14. Haven't noticed any issue to date in my personal machine at home with this, its flying along with the SSD (though I have two other drives in there with the bulk of my data on them)
  15. I had one of those HP pavilion desktops at the bottom of that pile there sad I think that I recognised it too
  16. I grit my teeth buying it too, rip out the voucher and toss the paper in the bin before it brainwashes me to voting Tory while barricading the UK from everyone and everything
  17. Just letting you all know that this offer is back on for this week, theres free lego toys each day and has been since last saturday, those two were only single character / small ones, whereas the ones next week are lego city/chima based sets from what I can see.
  18. I rebuilt mine recently and noticed last night funny enough (leg touched it) and it is now getting "Very Hot" here, new motherboard has the CPU mounted at 90degrees to previous, which makes me think that its pulling the heat from the exhaust on the PSU through it. Think its time to buy one of these new fangled cases where I can house the PSU at the bottom out of the way, hopefully minus a window too on the next one, I don't need reminding of the dust I clean once a year
  19. I really want a 6+ here, but after the prices I have been seeing, I just don't fancy it, I am well out of contract on my phone here with EE and don't fancy signing up to a massive monthly for nothing value added other than a new phone, even if it is bigger which I want. I am actually now considering changing to Three on a SIM only deal and taking my number across, as signal is much better where I work and just replacing the battery in my 4S (its a charge every 12/15 hours job now), but again I am going to wait on that a while here, to see if iOS8 is suddenly going to kill my iPhone, the same as it did with iOS7 for my wife's iphone4, update went on fine, but ground her phone to the floor, made it awful to use and laggy. Edit : battery change is easy, I know this having done a display panel swap on my wifes iPhone 5s recently, that was possibly the most nerve wracking 2 hours I have had in a while carrying out that swap.
  20. not setting it to take a cover page from a seperate tray or anything like that ? I can't see it being the printer missing out pages on a document, more likely a user setting when putting the print job through, sounds related to cover sheets more from what you have described
  21. I think that is what got me, I too think U2 havent done anything decent in a long long time, album is something I would never have bought at all, with regards Apple, though I know they have their "Kill Switch" should an app ever go rogue, but I was a little bit surprised that they slapped the music down onto my ipad at home without the usual asking for a password and going through the download process, that is quite creepy I felt and a bit questionable, even though I will wager that ability is granted under the 35 page T+Cs that no one reads with the device.
  22. I was a bit surprised to see it already downloaded onto my ipad when I was looking for the single of the week, fair enough if it was purchased, but already downloaded was a bit wrong I thought
  23. I still have my dead iPod Classic 4th Generation here, had some serious overheating problems and burnt out within about 9 months and the replacement lasted about another three years before the disk went bang. I have a couple of USB players now for my walking, but it is a sad day to see a product like this die a death, same as my sisters creative Zen player !
  24. Hello, Can I suggest this, I think it deserves its own category in there, not sure how everyone else feels ? Thanks, Rich
