  1. Have you looked on youtube? There are a load of other Macmillan videos that might do instead?
  2. I had my Christmas joke removed because of complaints about inappropriate content. I hope the same doesn't happen to you. As long as you don't mention the war, you should get away with it. Sorry I can't give you a +rep, I've been too generous with my Thanks over the past 24 hours.
  3. In Camtasia Recorder, go to Tools Options Video and manually change the frame rate. I just tried it at 15fps and it seemed ok. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the sound to work and I haven't time to sort out the sound card settings at present.
  4. I know this isn't ideal but put a video camera on a tripod getting in as close as possible. I'll try and copy it with Camtasia for you but I'm not sure how successful that will be.
  5. Sorry about that, I wonder why I didn't get any similar posts message?
  6. Does anyone buy from these people? Are they any good?
  7. It would if we all sat around a table and held hands.
  8. The repeat of the first series of Spiral finished on Saturday. I didn't see it first time round and really hope they do a Spiral 4, it's really improving my French.
  9. I don't think it would have altered the result but it would have had us on on the edge of our seats. Before the race, I think it was Eddie Jordan, said the DRS zone was on the wrong bend but I thought it was perfect. There were some cracking overtakes. DRS has dramatically improved F1 as a spectator sport.
  10. I'm sure that would have amused Stephen Fry.
  11. If not, well worth catching up on iPlayer. Fascinating.
  12. Come on, it was totally his fault this time and he really screwed Massa. Button was brilliant although I think Vettel had it covered.
  13. As if you'd be able to answer if it wasn't
  14. In ancient Israel, it came to pass that a trader by the name of Abraham Com did take unto himself a young wife by the name of Dot. And Dot Com was a comely woman, broad of shoulder and long of leg. Indeed, she was often called Amazon Dot Com. And Dot said unto Abraham, her husband, "Why dost thou travel so far from town to town with thy goods when thou canst trade without ever leaving thy tent?" And Abraham did look at her as though she were several saddle bags short of a camel load, but simply said: "How, dear?" And Dot replied: "I will place drums in all the towns and drums in between to send messages saying what you have for sale, and they will reply telling you who hath the best price. And the sale can be made on the drums and delivery made by Uriah's Pony Stable (UPS)." And Abraham thought long and hard and decided he would let Dot have her way with the drums. And the drums rang out and they were an immediate success. Abraham sold all the goods he had at the top price, without ever having to move from his tent. To prevent neighbouring countries from overhearing what the drums were saying, Dot devised a system that only she and the drummers knew. It was known as Must Send Drum Over Sound (MSDOS), and she also developed a language to transmit ideas and pictures: Hebrew To The People (HTTP). And the young men did take to Dot Com's trading as doth the greedy horsefly take to camel dung. They were called Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich Dominican Sybarites, or NERDS. And lo, the land was so feverish with joy at the new riches and the deafening sound of drums that no one noticed that the real riches were going to that enterprising drum dealer, Brother William of Gates, who bought off every drum maker in the land. And indeed did insist on drums to be made that would work only with Brother Gates' drum-heads and drum-sticks. And Dot did say, "Oh, Abraham, what we have started is being taken over by others." And Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel, or eBay as it came to be known. He said: "We need a name that reflects what we are." And Dot replied: "Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators." "YAHOO," said Abraham. And because it was Dot's idea, they named it YAHOO Dot Com. Abraham's cousin Joshua, being the young Gregarious Energetic Educated Kid (GEEK) that he was, soon started using Dot's drums to locate things around the countryside. It soon became known as God's Own Official Guide to Locating Everything (GOOGLE). And that Pilgrims, is how it all began. And that's the truth.
  15. Is this diagnostic stuff a 600 series thing? I've not come across it with the 500 series.
  16. If you have other similar boards, you could try changing the control board. It's behind where the serial lead goes in (On a 500 series) and is quite easy to remove. The other thing you could check is that the Smart USB/Serial drivers are correctly installed in Device Manager. Sometimes, they can revert to the generic drivers that don't work. If you delete the generic driver and then reboot, it will hopefully install the correct ones. From experience, this problem indicates a suspect usb/serial lead.
  17. Haven't you got a video camera that you can use to produce your own?
  18. It probably doesn't help you but we now print virtually everything to our Canon photocopiers and they have 99 memory boxes that you can store to. Really useful feature. The other great thing about printing to photocopiers is the admin people look after them, so I don't have to order consumables, change the toner or fix paper jams.
  19. I think the ERA Licence covers it. The ERA licenses educational establishments to undertake copying of off-air radio and television broadcasts for use for teaching purposes. All UK terrestrial broadcasts recorded after 1 August 1989 are covered within the licence which allows recordings to be made for teaching purposes, provided that the recording is clearly labelled with the date and title of the recording and the statement “this recording be used for educational purposes only”. In addition, the licence allows further copying of programmes recorded under the licence and allows the compilation of extracts of material for teaching purposes The copying of commercially produced, pre-recorded videos, audio tapes, CDs and DVDs or programming provided in any on demand services is not authorised by the ERA Licence
  20. You're lucky the M5 is closed or I'd be up and begging
  21. They did start billing her and when she complained told her it would be refunded.
  22. That is the MAC code isn't it? I don't mean the device MAC address.
