I would have thought it would be Gross Negligence Manslaughter, however: If the cladding was decidedly not up to code, I suspect it's not 'otherwise lawful'

I have to admit, the jerky unnatural movements, and especially the 'bouncy' grabbing of the pistol had me going for a moment. But by the end it was pretty obvious what was going on

If you or anyone you know has a Costco membership, last time I went in they had a bunch set up near the front so you could see what the cameras and DVR looked like, plus each had a screen showing their live feed so you could get a handle on the quality. Could be worth a look?

Yeah, but they were never going to make it anonymous by design, were they? Governments hate anonymity, can't snoop legitimately monitor it. Companies hate anonymity, can't market to it.

I know it's a bit over your budget but IIRC Hollow Knight is £15 and I will never not sing its praises. I think the Onimusha (1) port was only £12 and that's pretty good, too.

Step 3: Each ID card has a unique fingerprint, and now we're logging what smut you like. Step 4: New round of making things illegal (Tory facesitting bill 2.0). To jail with you, bucko!

Er. This guy does. And did.

Or more importantly ? I think this gives rise to an interesting question though... Knowing what you know now, how would you build a school from scratch? One of the massive issues is user re-education. Not only do you need to re-train current staff, you're forfeiting staff being able to ask each other about issues too, which I feel is often overlooked. I'd bet my boots there's a tonne of 'How do I...?' that goes in regarding, e.g. PowerPoint that I don't have to field because they ask each other. But if that weren't the case. If you were building from scratch? How would you do it? I have to admit I'd go heavily into Cloud if I were doing it from scratch. I'd probably still have on-site servers (AD, MIS, etc) but I'd lean incredibly heavily on things like G Suite and EduLink. Would I ditch Windows altogether? Not so sure about that one. I could, operationally-speaking, but Windows is what the majority of people know.

Or, on the flip side, it dies and then there's four different forks all doing the same thing in different ways.

I do find myself searching for FOSS software a lot when departments come to me asking for X, Y or Z.. But admittedly that's mostly a budgeting cost. I've said it before.. Technically speaking you could probably operate the bulk of the classroom-based end-user part of a school on FOSS software and save a lot of money. Pick your Linux-based operating system of choice and stop worrying about Microsoft licensing Swap to LibreOffice for document creation Download any browser you feel like Lean heavily on cloud environments like G Suite or Office 365 Utilise whatever FOSS software wherever you can find it for other lessons.. GIMP/Paint.Net, VLC, Audacity, Irfanview, MuseScore, Scratch, etc This would cover a lot of your bases. Certainly most of the T&L side. The only think I'm not sure about would be your MIS but that's just because I don't know much about them, and also the admin stuff, like finance. The thing is, what you save in money, you probably spend in time. We've got staff here who still only know the very basics of MSOffice. Throw a different office package at them and they'd panic. The same applies for operating systems. They know Windows. Even if you put them on Linux Mint, they'd still be a deer in the headlights for quite some time. It's a fun little thought experiment, but the mass user re-education (pupils included) would grind this place to a halt.

Could not get in to Jessica Jones.. After loving DareDevil so much I gave it a good go, I really did. The last thing I remember, was David Tennant the bad guy who's in-universe name I can't remember telling a policeman officer policemanofficer to jump off the roof and Jessica saved him. It just really didn't interest me. Left a bit of a bland taste and I haven't tried Luke Cage or The Punisher because of it.

I mean there's not much you could learn in photoshop that isn't transferable. I learned the majority of my graphics design knowledge on Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7 (now owned by Corel) and can now use Photoshop reasonably well as the concepts of layers, brightness/contrast, RGB/CMYK, colour theory, transparency, etc are all fairly universal and (with a bit of effort to learn the new software layout) can be applied to basically any graphics package. I guess that's both an argument for and against Photoshop. It's still (I think?) the industry leader, so you might as well teach them on that, but if you could teach them GIMP et al for free have transfer the skills, that's also mighty attractive.

Of course that's a thing. * would presumably take umbrage with this. * Potentially NSFW YouTube music video. Minor drugs references.

I've been watching Carmen Sandiego on Netflix. Honestly, I'm not sure what I expected, but it's pretty good. Has a few educational snippets in each episode as a throwback to the educational games series it's loosely based on and a few groany CSI-esque technology segments but overall I'd say it's definitely enjoyable.

Did anybody get anywhere with this? Our IT dept are coming up on the webdev part of the syllabus again.. Annoyingly they still want to use DreamWeaver despite it being so hit-and-miss on Windows 10. I've explained the issues and said I'll see if there's anything else out there. We did push KompoZer but I know that's long since out of development. Serif WebPlus seems decent, I've quickly fooled around with it for 10 minutes, but I'll be honest, as someone used to text editors (NotePad++, Brackets, etc) I'm pretty stumped at using any WYSIWYG editor so I have no idea what's 'good' or not. I know that I'm fighting a losing battle, I've explained that most WYSIWYG editors are online now (Wordpress, Wix, SquareSpace, etc) but none of that really matters, the syllabus is the syllabus.

Ooh yes that works nicely. S'pose it's not technically what I was after but probably a much better way of doing it than I wanted lol.

Oooh that seems promising, but how do I reference them individually further down the line? $Totals.[0], $Totals.Produce[1] etc works, but there's no guarantee the houses(/produce) will always be in the same order. so I'm wary of using that permanently (this would only ever really be a problem at the start of the year when one house hadn't accrued any points yet, but best to account for it now)

That would lump potatoes, carrots and apples all together, when I'm looking for the total of each. i.e. 106 Carrots, 209 potatoes, 66 apples. (The script is actually for totting up house points from a csv exported from SIMS, and yes since it's a CSV I could manually do it with Excel and =SUMIFS() but I'm looking to pass the results off to some other stuff and make it all automated)

Probably titled this completely wrong, but hey, let's try and explain it. So suppose we have a CSV file, like the following: [table=width: 200, class: outer_border] [tr] [td]Produce[/td] [td]Units[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Carrots[/td] [td]47[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Potatoes[/td] [td]56[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Apples[/td] [td]24[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Carrots[/td] [td]23[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Potatoes[/td] [td]86[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Apples[/td] [td]2[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Carrots[/td] [td]19[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Potatoes[/td] [td]41[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Apples[/td] [td]10[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Carrots[/td] [td]17[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Potatoes[/td] [td]26[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Apples[/td] [td]30[/td] [/tr] [/table] Now let's suppose I want to know the total units sold. I'd import the CSV and set int variables to zero, then loop through the CSV.. $CSVLoc = "Location" $ProduceList = Import-CSV $CSVLoc [int]$CarrotsSold = 0 [int]$PotatoesSold = 0 [int]$ApplesSold = 0 ForEach ($Entry in (Import-CSV $CSVLoc)) { The snag is I'm having to define separate IF loops for each produce. If ($Entry.Produce -imatch "Carrots") { $CarrotsSold += $Entry.Units } If ($Entry.Produce -imatch "Potatoes") { $PotatoesSold += $Entry.Units } If ($Entry.Produce -imatch "Apples") { $ApplesSold += $Entry.Units } } And whilst that works in practice, it just irks at me to have the same code block repeated. Is there no way to condense this down to, for example.. ForEach $Entry {$($Entry.Produce)Sold += $Entry.Units}?

Wait, we've changed the theme again? We're doing avian-based puns now? Grr, nobody ever tells me when we do this! But I bet the lot of you will just tell me you thought everybody had heard

A-ha! It also created another key that I'd missed.. HKCU\Software\Classes\Applications\CktWiz.exe\shell\open\command Set that one and it now works.

Hmm, that hasn't seemed to have worked. 'Type' shows it as CircuitWizard.Document instead of the typical 'CWZ File' but it doesn't know what to open with.

Busy day, and I was hoping it was one of those things that are obscure, but actually really simple to do Okay, so taking a Circuit Wizard file for example, opening it from our application share produces these reg keys: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.cwz_auto_file\shell\open\command] @=""\\\\Application Server\\applications\\Circuit Wizard 3\\CktWiz.exe" "%1"" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.cwz] @="CircuitWizard.Document" Come to think of it, I could probably just add those to the users GPO.

We run a fair bit of software off an app server for a myriad of reasons.. Usually because it's portable and doesn't have an MSI. The caveat here is that means it doesn't set file association. Is there any way to use the default file association xml to have files open with software run from another machine? Everything I find references ProgId="" ApplicationName="", is it possible to set a ProgID and ApplicationName for remote software?

Aye, we thought about that at first. But they have microphones in them that VLC (quite understandably) picks up on. Echo..Echo..Echo..Echo..Echo..Echo..ECHO..ECHO..ECHO..ECHECHECHECHEHCHBWWWWRWRWRRRRRWRRWRRWR Not a pleasant experience I know you can tell VLC to stop picking up the input, or just turn the volume off, but that's just extra faff, and we already had software that was specially meant for visualisers with freeze/rotate/side-by-side/timelapse/etc functions built in, so made sense to just use that.
