Congratulations to you both! It's all downhill from here Only kidding, my kids are the light of my life - the reason I'm always skint, and the reason I'm losing my hair..... But I wouldn't have it any other way! I wish you all the best in fatherhood! Darren

Erm, bit late Nick..... Darren

I'd say you are. You can get the exterior paint which dries textured - kind of like the top surface of a paving slab. It's not cheap though!! (and it's not glossy either). I would say using glossy paint, outside, on the floor is asking for a lawsuit...

WMIC? It has several print management functions built in. But it will only tell you what's currently mapped. Maybe compare one known good system with the target system...

Surprising just how a different tread pattern can affect handling. It's just a shame tyres are so expensive, otherwise more people would have snow/ice tyres for the winter. As for the 4x4s locking up.... people really ought to learn to drive the damn things, they only lock up when using your brakes too much. That's what a gearbox is for, controlled descent and all...... No snow here, just bloody cold again, -18c. forecast more white stuff tomorrow.

A work of art to say the very least. Amazing video, and stunning music. Hats off to the man.

Send Ahmedinejad next, and make sure it never returns.....

Yeah that's on every week here, it's pretty good. They're mad as hatters though, there's no way I'd get in the water like they do..... Pretty good work though.

pylon of the month.....

lake-St-Jean Normandin re (-51) Just taken this from the latest observations. RE is windchill warnings........ This is at Lake St Jean in Quebec. Brrr.

We had an 05 "migraine" too..... what a nightmare. Timing belt replacement.... drop the block. Water pump replacement, you guessed it..... drop the block!! Wasn't sad to see the back of it. I wouldn't buy another Renault. In fact probably any continental european car for that matter...... Not that that's even an option now. DT

I'll never complain about them again...... Arctic air mass brings frigid blast to much of Canada - Canada - CBC NewsArctic air mass brings frigid blast to much of Canada - Canada - CBC News Currently -22c, windchill is -30c. Tomorrow looking at -41c.....

My mrs had a 57 plate vectra, and you had to remove the front bumper just to change a friggin headlight bulb!?!

this is us looking out on the St John river.

awesome!

check the EUFI boot options.... (EUFI/UEFI whatever, can never remember). Other than that; USB.....

I remember the names and faces of every teacher I ever had, and I should thank them all. For each and everyone of them gave me the confidence and inspiration to succeed. Particularly Mrs Penny my IT teacher, who endured my persistent faecetiousness over the lack of real IT curriculum (we got taught desktop publishing!?!) and allowed me to stray somewhat in class, and help out with network problems at lunchtimes. But the two people from which I learned the most; My dad and grandad, the redneck kings of the hills! Taught me to ride (Th'Horses), shoot, kill it clean it eat it, and just about every other thing you could possibly need in life. And to Barry Jones; the teacher who decided we didn't need religious education "because it's all B****cks". He was right! DT

7 degrees here snow is melting, haven't even got my 'johns on today.... I could get used to this. Tomorrow should be fun, everywhere is awash with meltwater and temps are supposed to drop again tonight to -7c. Was bad enough this morning sliding all over the place. I can't wait for more snow

Ooh, bet that was a temperature shock..... My little lad came in with frozen snot up his face over christmas.... You know what kids are like when they get playing in snow - he'd built a snow fort and was enjoying himself. We literally had to drag him in the house.

You need to build your answer file with packages from the OS disk, as packages/components used might be slightly different across the versions, likely not. But you could build your own answer file using this as a guideline, just add the corresponding package from pro. This one will prompt you only for computer name.

Wow, it's actually warmer (ish) here right now. We're having a warm spell currently, reached a high of 0C yesterday. Supposed to fall off sharply after weekend though, back to -20s. It's actually more bearable than I thought, it's not as humid as the UK so the cold doesn't feel too bad on its own. It's that wind, you never felt anything like it; wind chill of -35C. I walked from my car to the office (about 20 meters) without gloves last week and my fingers were in so much pain. Snow is a bit less than what I'd hoped for, probably about a foot average on the ground. Some places it drifts to around 3-4 feet. Still, could bloody murder fish and chips!!! @tom_newton
