It must be an eduhobnob

You can probably do it with Bulk Rename Utility Among it's many options is move files and rename as they are moved.

This 'NoPhone' KickStarter campaign has raised £5,500 - BBC Newsbeat https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nophone-usa/the-new-and-unimproved-nophone (asked for $5,000 and is at over $11,000 as I post) I, of course, have the original no phone in that I don't have one at all, so I don't need to pledge $12 to get one. Or maybe I need to pledge $12 to not get one. Of course, my original model lacks the selfie feature...

Did you have to change anything this morning at work? Some of our telephones didn't change; in our office one did but the other three didn't. There are a few wall clocks which aren't linked, but we don't worry about those. At home, when I check the TV guide, the times are correct, but when I check the info for the program I'm watching, the clock is an hour fast. I'll find out when I get home, if my timer recordings work. The TV itself, picks up the time from the signal and it's still on BST. Maybe somebody in TV land forgot to enable NTP?

+1 for GIMP. As for the best Easter Eggs, I reckon they were the Space Invaders and Frogger games that were in OOCalc.

vi - I've used it almost every day since 1989.

I'll chuck in Dick Tracy, Hemlock Holmes (from The Dick Tracy Show), Inspector Clouseau (The Pink Panther) and Sergeant Murphy (Top Cat). There is also Quick Draw McGraw and Deputy Dawg at a pinch. (If we were playing Pointless, I think I'd do OK!)

How do you do that? Back in the 1970s, K-Tel used to sell a gadget which cut bottles (I don't remember it carrying a safety warning) Of course, being a cheap skate, we used to cut bottles the old fashioned way. Method 1 - tie a piece of string around the bottle where you want it cut. Soak string in kero. Set fire to it. Rub an ice cube along the string. (This method is unreliable.) Method 2 - fill bottle with vegetable oil, to a level where you want it cut. Plunge in a red hot poker. Rub ice cube along the outside. (This method is almost reliable.)

For $10,000, you can have the world’s first hoverboard

You can but one a real one on eBay (I wonder why it has an ISBN?)

We host ours in house - you have complete responsibility (which may or may not be a good thing!)

I've often been more successful using Linux to recover files. Try mounting the usb and see if you can read it. If not, use dd to create a raw image and dump it.

This $c=0; for ($i=1; $i <= 1000000; $i++) { $j = (string) $i; $c = $c + substr_count($j,"2"); } echo $c; ?> says 600000 but it may or may not be correct code. It did come up with correct answer for 30, which is encouraging. It's damn hard to concentrate on code on Saturday, esp when it's college open day.

The main Moodle 2012R2, 4GB RAM, 2.4GHz dual core, 60GB HD, although it's virtualised. We have 1100 students all who use it. The other Moodle is on the same spec vm with 7 users. We don't run any external reports.

Champion the Wonder Horse, What's My Line? (sadly not the US version - see youtube for clips) and The Epilogue. I've long thought they should bring back The Epilogue.

Possibly proxy settings. Try something like git config --global http.proxy http://proxyuser:[email protected]:8080 git config --global https.proxy https://proxyuser:[email protected]:8080 adjusting/omitting params as required

We run one of our Moodles on 2012, with IIS. There's no real secret to it, just follow the instructions here https://docs.moodle.org/27/en/Installing_Moodle. You can install PHP & MySQL using wpilauncher or DIY, which is what I did.

So You Want My Job: IT Professional | The Art of Manliness I disagree when he said "Every day is different which is a good thing." The author works for schools and it has been my experience that every day it is "Sir, I've forgotten my password", "The printer has run our of toner", "How do I do something in ", and "Can you please unblock http://www.somegamesite.com as I need it for my course work." I do agree when he says "When you go out of your way to make someone’s life easier, they tend to reward you with baked goods.", although in my case it's bottles of red wine. Incidently, the picture in the article is the MIT Whirlwind from 1945-51.

Making it dual boot is the the easiest way. There is loads of info on the web - here's the first hit with two popular o/ses How to Dual-boot Linux and Windows (on a PC with Windows 7 already installed) For mounting home dirs stored on an M$ server, Samba is your friend.

The Selectamark aluminium compound recommended by Ant does a superb job.

Using Acronym Creator - find a name for your company, project, algorithm , I came up with PRiSSY Print ReleaSe SYstem sPeRM Print Release systeM PRivY Print Release sYstem PRESS Print REleaSe System The final one is far to sensible. (There were 643 to chose from using the phrase print release system).

Does anyone use onedrive as the student home folder? We where having a brainstorm session and this was a suggestion. We in IT can see numerous advantages, the main one for us is that we would no longer have to worry about backups and students could have a much larger file quota than we can provide. It also means all of a students work would be accessible from home. Our students already have onedrive, and they get 1TB each, but most of the don't use it, or if they do, it is just for moving work from their home PC to the college network. Is there a way to implement this seamlessly, so that when a student saves a file to their homedir, it automatically get written to onedrive? Somehow we need to map onedrive in the same way as you map the student homedir from the file server.

When we log on, a web page opens with the staff portal, which displays the daily notice, the weekly notice, selected timetabled events and general staff notices (eg for sale, baby news, etc). A recent staff survey said 70% thought this was an effective method of communicating info. IMO it's a lot better than emailing the daily notice to everyone. When students log on, they get the student portal, which contains links to email, moodle, student union, etc.

47 Ronin is a very Hollywood-ized version of the story. We in the know, much prefer the 1941 and 1994 Japanese films. There is supposedly a longer directors cut on DVD. I think it needs a much shorter cut, ideally with Keanu Reeves and the dragon lady cut out completely.

We used this at one school I was at and it is a pain. It frequently locked users out of their laptops; to overcome this there is a challenge/response screen. The challenge generates an impossibly long string, which we then had to read out to the LEA, who had the software to generate the appropriate response, which we then had to enter into the machine to unlock it. Often this failed, and we then had to talk to the only sophos expert in the LEA. He was never available (no doubt fixing sophos problems for other schools). One day, the principals laptop was locked and naturally I couldn't get any sense out of the LEA. I phoned sophos direct and they helped me out after quoting licence codes at them,.
