They are just trying to save you from seeing every wrinkle on Dot Cotton's face.

Please tell us you had to Google for their names?

I wouldn't be surprised if 'The Cowell' had his fingers in RATMs' record company too.

This sounds rather Deja-Vu esq. Wasn't there a similar thread a year or 2 ago about Centrastor, and a few "new" posters raved about madly? Edit: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/mis-systems/8951-a.html

Proof that money cannot buy taste.

I think you should get a slapped wrist for repeatedly calling the beautiful game 'Soccer'.

Tell me about it. Built myself a new system back In july and just bought 4GB of RAM to test the system, with the aim of going to 8GB soon after as I was hoping to do more Virtualisation testing yadda yadda yadda. Corsair XMS2 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 PC2-8500C5 TwinX Dual Channel was circa £35 in July from Ebuyer Corsair XMS2 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 PC2-8500C5 TwinX Dual Channel is now £90 from Ebuyer That £90 would buy a lot of Beer over Xmas! Have just noticed that Overclockers are doing a !!!!!This Week Only offer!!!!! and selling it for £70, but that's still double what it was 4-5 months ago.

What has a Southampton post code got to do with it?

If I were you, when the server breaks and nobody can do anything, I'd turn around to the head and tell him that due to 'special' circumstances, you are unable to fix it until a week on Friday (for example). Why does it always take a disaster for people to wake up?

Reading the comments on the Blog on Sparklebox, you can clearly see the gulf between how teachers see ICT and how we have to support it. Some rather worrying comments on there, similar to what LeMarchand reports. Also, how on earth did Teachers cope before ICT took hold of everything? Some of them are screaming blue murder over how they can't cope without it. If they are so reliant on one teaching resource then god help us all!

I completely misread that and thought you'd said Ed Balls says head teachers should negotiate better deals on cleaning computers.

If all you want is remote access then I'd stick with LogMeIn, as it all runs via a broswer, whereas you need to install the centrastage agent on the workstation that you wish to connect from, if you are using Centrastage for remote access. Clearly though, Centrastage does far more than just remote access.

That's a shame as it is the readers comments that make me read El Reg. Often hilarious, straight to the point and usually rip the articles to shreds.

A very wise policy.

And there lies the problem with most events these days. Folk only buying tickets to then sell on for ridiculous amounts. Hope you get one by the way. I saw him live about 5 years ago. Was very good, but he has pretty much used the same material ever since.

The thing is that throughout the game, you get penalised for shooting innocents or committing a spot of friendly fire, then you are faced with a level where it's all thrown out of the window and you do the complete opposite. There is no way that you could justify that level of killings of innocents in order to go undercover. I still don't think the playable aspect of that level was necessary. Maybe I'm just turning into an old fuddy duddy.

Yep. I'll wait until I've finished the game before making my mind up fully, but so far I see it as being completely unneccesary.

You've not missed much, just different shades of Brown.

Jaunty Jackalope is Ubuntu 9.04 Karmic Koala is Ubuntu 9.10 I'm looking forward to Ubuntu 10.4 (Leisuresuit Larry) To the OP, I recommend Linux Mint. It's Ubuntu but with a more familiar interface for Windows users.

To steal a well known supermarket's slogan - "Every little helps"

Check out avforums.com They should have full reviews of both. I imagine they will recommend the Tosh over the LG.

The school logo looks terrible in both of them. I know that isn't what you asked about but I feel it needs mentioning.

I'm fashionably late to this thread. Did you all manage to resolve your issues, or does this still plague you? I've just been notified of similar shenanigans at one of our sites.

You actually bought Vista? Just got the OEM upgrade disc myself so wasn't aware of this.

Have you installed the 64-bit version? For the interested amongst you, you get 2 discs. 32-bit and 64-bit. Same serial.
