  1. Just bare in mind that new projectors won't nesesarily have the same throw length as the old ones or fit in the same brackets. It might be cheaper to find a projector that's a drop in replacment for the ones you have instead of having all your brackets and cabling redone.
  2. Give it time.
  3. Proof of darwinism if ever I saw it.
  4. I've just signed up to o2. If you have one of their mobile phones you can get broadband for £7.50 a month. You also get two months free and a £50 rebate via Where Savvy Shoppers Save - Cashback - Quidco (who will take the first £5 of earning for a year). All in all my broadband will be costing about £30 this year. Oh and the performance is better then plus.net. I';ve never had BT broadband on my line so I can't comment on it. I the past however I've found the expensive and not that special. Having broadband on your phone bill should in theory make it easier but in practice caused me all sorts of problems.
  5. Did you take the picture? I found it almost scary getting close enough to a swan to photo it.
  6. I've just changed it to this. I'm not really a big fan of swans (apparently the taste pretty awful), but I like the picture.
  7. I don't know if anyone is interested I harvested my list of MAC addresses using either Angry IP Scanner or fast resolver. I then used the following Excel statement to remote the dashes. =CONCATENATE("wol ",REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(B36,3,1,""),5,1,""),7,1,""),9,1,""),11,1,"")) In this case the MAC copied from Fast Resolver was in cell B32. I prefer to use a formula instead of find and replace because it updates automaticaly if I change a MAC address.
  8. Same here, Shutdown runs at about half 5 Wake up is for classrooms only (everyone else has to urn on their own PCs) and runs at 8am.
  9. Is this new or second hand? £350 is about ground zero for a dSLR. A 'really great dSLR' will be easily twice your budget. That said even the entry level dSLRs are well regaurded. Bare in mind you should be looking at a companies entire range and also the price of lenses, if you upgrade you'll either need to replace all your lenses or stick with the same make. Hense why everyone will say stick to either Canon or Nikon.
  10. That's now considered obselete, however some purists will still say you need to have a picture of William SHatner attached to your forhead (a few deviants even attach a picture of David Hasslehoff to their left knee) That's a very advanced technique. Remember to only rub your belly clockwise and have some gravy granuals on hand just in case.
  11. You measure the diagonal, times it by the distance between the projector and the board (measured perpendicular to the floor), add on the width of the projector's lens, and then divide the whole lot by the number of days in the month. And unless you do this standing on a stool it won't work.
  12. Unless you're prepared to pay the cost of the recovery call out and repairing the old couples wall then yes you will have to claim. Some insurance companies will let you pay the cost of the claim and keep your NCB. You will still however have to say you've had an accident.
  13. Is she gurning again this year?
  14. How about paying a load of the mortgage and getting a Mk2.5 MX5 and a supercharger.
  15. If you've got a big red phone it's better not to use it. That way you can pretent it's connected directly to No.10.
  16. Oh, how about a stupid suggestion. Alfa Brera, the performance, handling, reliability, residual value and economy will be worse then a 3 series. And it's front wheel drive. But..... http://www.carpages.co.uk/alfa_romeo/alfa_romeo_images/alfa-brera-s-20-05-08.jpg You must be thinking about it.
  17. Lets see, I'd ignore anything from the VAG camp if you're bored of the A3. And unless you drive loads or are funding it through a company I wouldn't bother with a diesel. How about a BMW 330i or 530i Some sort of Volvo T5 (should be excellent for the golf bats). Focus ST
  18. You have checked that this isn't work related. I'm frequently looking stuff up on the net. That might just be because I've got a memory like one of those thingies you drain rice with, you know like a colander but with smaller holes.
  19. Have you tried asking the toner who won the 1966 world cup? When even I come across anything that I think might be incredibly thick I ask it who won the 1966 world cup. If the toner replies with "Czech Republic" then it might actually be 7 times thicker then normal toner.

    Oracle

    Nope, it's not even to do with the pricing in our case. Most of the database backed applications we use (and for me the main one is Sims) expect MSSQL.
  21. Just be careful if you've got teacher laptops. Many of ours are away from the network for more then 60 days at a time.
  22. Oh bother, we started waking stuff up every morning. I knew there was something I should have siwtched off before I left.
  23. These are faily highly regarded, make sure you look at the 1.25 and the 1.4 petrol which are the two best engines by miles. There is also a 1.3 which is ancient (it was only kept on because it's only engine that fitted up the KA's bonnet) and a 1.8 diesel which even older. If you want to go diesel (and unless you want to do a lot of miles I wouldn't bother), probably the best option would be a Citroen Xsara (it's a dullified version of the Pug 306). There are two main diesel engines to choose from the 1.9 (either Turboed or non turboed) which is fairly old fashioned but consider the be one of the best diesel engines of it's generation. There is also on later Xsaras the HDi, which is pretty similar to their current deisel engines. It's much nicer to drive then the 1.9 but also more complicated and something I'd avoid in a £1000 car. I personaly wouldn't buy a Polo, there's nothing wrong with them, but because they're made by VW you pay a premium and end up with an older car.
  24. I've just been asked by someone why the can't use the Epsom A3 from their office. I've replyed suggesting the quickest route from Epsom to the A3 is to head north along the A24 and then turn on the A240 (Kingston road). The IT manager is not impressed.
