  1. Step 1, stab your self in the hand while installing the captive bolts. Step 2, After launching several bolts into a dusty void below the cabinet discover you are now one short.
  2. I consider them on a case by case basis. If you submit pictures I'll let you know weather of not I'll trust you with 80p.

    Bad Apple!

    SanDisk clip here, cheaper then the iPod Shuffle and it's got a screen. Apple kit is beautiful, but I personaly don't get on with it.
  4. Still seems to be a lot of money. I wonder if they'll be a more limited version like the XBOX360 Arcade.
  5. Does it have an 'FCC ID' number on it? If so bang that into google.
  6. Might be easiest just to pop the lid off and have a look. Desktop or Laptop?
  7. There's duty to consider as well. About £1.60 on a bottle of wine and 40p on a pint of beer. Oh and then VAT is added to that. So about 80p of a pint goes straight into funny eye brows bloke's slush fund. I love excise duty, there's something magical about the way they tax us for paying tax.
  8. It's probably a symptom of your servers not being about to talk to each other. Unless they don't go away it's probably not a problem.
  9. I don't see interactive whiteboard listed in that lot. Get some smartboards. If you have a hall you might well want to look at a projector/AV system. Are you using your LEA's filtering system and are you happy with it?
  10. Blimey, I thought paying £3 a pint was bad. That said I think we'll be up to £4 a pint by this time next year. I expect the government will put duty up again, not to mention large pub owning companies increasing the amount they're screwing out of small pubs.
  11. Oops didn't make myself clear, the ultra slim ones do. I forget there's a whole range because the ultra slims are the only ones we've ever bought.
  12. Can you quantify these remarks, they seem completly at odds with my experience of Stone Computers. All the Stone machines I've encountered have used Intel motherboard, Kingston Memory and either Sony or Samsung opticle drives (although I havn't checked what's fitted in our SFF Stones). HP have used laptop drives in there SFF machines for years. The current DC7900 also used laptop hard drives and memory.
  13. But he hasn't said that he's peddling something else. But then that would get him into trouble because he's too tight to become a sponsor.
  14. Very well said. I don't see how a company can make something for free and then spend more money promoting it without taking some money out of it somewhere. This detail seems not to have been mentioned.
  15. It's just that when I broke up with my ex and moved out I ended needing sooooo much stuff. I remember having a row with my brother because he bought me an expresso machine and I told him to take it back and change it for a lawn mower.
  16. Ikea or Argos vouchers. Particularly if she's moving from her parent's or from a shared place. She'll need loads of domestic stuff.
  17. Welcome, hope you have a wonder time. Just remember, don't freed Grumbledook after midnight and don't mention 'The Incident'.
  18. Eek!!!!!!!! Please promise us you'll enslave your fellow edugeekers before you vaporise the earth. I'm sure we could make the tea or maybe drive AT-AKs.
  19. Good luck. That's not too bad for £150, I almost bought an e30 3 series a few years back, ended up going for a Golf instead .
  20. It's less depressing then seeing ads for dating sites. I seemed to be stalked by the bloody things.
  21. I don't think a modern F1 car would accomodate his tash.
  22. I'd be interested to see who they could get at this notice. I suspect it'll be one of there test drivers Mark Gene or Luca Badoer neither of which have had sparkling F1 careers. In a way I think it's better Schmacher doesn't come back, every one will have had very high expectations of him. Just remember Mansell's comeback at the start of the 95 season.
  23. If you're doing this download VirtualBox, it's the easiest way of having a 'clean' machine for building packages on. It's also good for testing. I would prefer to use a silent install if I can, the above method simply duplicates what the installer program did in one given situation. If you take this approach test every package you create on a machine you can reimage easily and never deploy software to a different OS from the one the package was created with. Some software can also be ran from a share so you only need to deploy a shortcut. Other packages (I find open source/freeware is best for this) will only require the files they place in program files and maybe some registry entries to associate file types and preconfigure some settings. I tend to build MSIs for these using advanced installer. The free version is fine, it doesn't let you use the file association function, so you need to work out which registry keys to add, but that's not hard.
  24. There is a doofer called the MSI silent install wrapper which quite a few people round here use. Another option would be to make a GPO that runs a script which checks to see if some software is installed and if not installs it. You could also use PSEXEC and some scripting install stuff. Just bare in mind all the above are dependent on having a 'Silent' install option. These can sometimes be tricky.
  25. Agreed, although I'm sure it was invented as a broadsheet for people with short arms the Mails is a very dull tabloid. At least the Sun and the Mirror are so bad it's funny. How you considered the Torygraph?
