sweet. I've not been on much as we've been getting the house ready (literally only a few more hours of work and should just be washing, which will all be done! ) 5 dump runs with a full Pajero (my mums one). Not really junk, just stuff we no longer need or want. And we donated 1 full Car load to the nearest charity shop also . Once sorted, I will be on much more.

quick jobs until you have around £20k in the bank. then maximum loan possible (by this point it should be around 150-200k, if not the 400k loan). Buy cheap trucks for the time being, and do the freight jobs, this will give you bigger wad of cash. Take a second loan to secure a garage and 2 drivers and their trucks. I advocate they learn long distance first as it pays the best overall. Then do Fragile and On time, then its up to you. From here you should be pulling in around 20k a job, the drivers should be pulling in between 8-10k a job. pay off your first loan. then build up funds to pay off the second loan. wait for a little while, then buy another garage, another driver and truck. Do this until you have a garage at least in Germany, France and England (the more centralised the better). From here you will be pulling in around 80k a day. build up your garages to the 5 slots so you get much cheaper fuel. by the time you hit level 20-25 you should have around 3-5 garages, all with cheap trucks and drivers. As you earn more, give your drivers better and more economical engines. By level 35 you should be pulling in £1million a day if you expand as I have said. By the time I hit level 40 I was an ingame multimillionaire with a 5 slot garage, top spec trucks, in every country. By level 50 I had 5 slot garages in every town, with fully spec'd trucks for every driver and pulling in around £30million a day. I did the same every time I played. Whilst some people on other forums say I glitched or cheated, I didn't, I "cheesed" in the fact I used the games mechanics to my advantage.

Again I can only echo Arthur and macshinobi here. Remove thermal paste. Use arctic silver (personal preference). Also look at non stock fans, after market ones have a tendency to be better than stock as they offer superior cooling and heat dissipation.

Can I ask why wireless AC? It could all be done for around £700 with ease but just want to know why you pick wireless AC over (I'm assuming) wired.

Great big mess of a network share!

Sorry, should have clarified. There was also a space for cover lessons. -
I use those. I have printed each one out onto an A4 page, and do 1 a day. There are about 105 or so all told (unless he added more) so its basically 3.5 months of workouts before I repeat one!

Step 1 - Create staff folders, accessible only to that staff member and administrator Step 2 - Map the drive with the staff log on policies Step 3 - Email around to all staff, asking them to slowly start migrating their items into the folders Step 4 - Create a department folder, accessible only to department members Step 5 - Map the drive with the staff log on policies Step 6 - Email around to all staff, asking them to slowly start migrating their departments items into the department folders Step 7 - Make a media area for all staff Step 8 - Map the drive with the staff log on policies Step 9 - Email around to all staff, informing duplicate files WILL be deleted Step 10 - Make a backup of everything as it is Step 11 - Start removing duplicated items which are not in staff areas Step 12 - Inform staff when the removals have started Step 13 - Inform staff when the removals have finished This process should take a maximum of 1 academic term, I know it seems like a long time, but you need to get staff used to things slowly or you will end up in a world of hurt! *edit* I did this, and it was quite successful, but your mileage may vary! -
still need some DPS peoples!

Anyone buy Apple machines just for the build quality?
featured_spectre replied to spacebar's topic in Mac
I never said that they looked like Macs, I said they were the equivalent. Hardware which works well for a premium is the point I was driving at. -

I stand corrected. -

I agree, it is overly simplistic, but it was aimed at making people think about their purchase more than anything else. Going to have to say no here. I have had an alienware which took a literal beating when I moved house from the UK to Belize and then 6 months later back to the UK, and barely a scratch or a dent on it (that said, Alienware is the Windows Equivalent to a Mac, and I was a teenager at the time). No argument about ECC Ram and Xeon Processors, but this machine is more server than it is a desktop PC, and they're branding it a desktop PC. If you took a look at the specs without knowing the maker, you would have probably said it was a server than a desktop. Yes it is cheaper elsewhere, I agree. It also only took seconds to install HDDs in my alienware and in my current case, literally unplug sata cable and power cable and slide out, no need for screwing in etc. Got nothing on this, the guy was being a bit of an idiot comparing to 2nd hand cards, no doubt. But even brand new cards, they were using dated and rebranded old ones at the time of this picture creation. Got no issue on the longevity of SOME macs, I've said previously I have had a few, some were great, some not so great. Much of a muchness, they had hardware failures as any machine would. There is paying a premium, and then there is being ridiculous. Apple were grossly overcharging for office software done by MS (Mac versions of it in my local PC world are the same price as PC versions). One option they don't have on there, but they do resell is adobe creative suite. The Apple store in Milton Keynes (nearest apple store) and the Apple Premium reseller store (StormFront) in Luton (nearest reseller, not actual Apple store) wanted nearly £2000 (MK) and £1700 (Luton) for the package when adobe offer it out for £1200. Talk about a high priced mark up! -

sorry, I missed that, this will do it. 'Remove all offline printers set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2") set sInstalledPrinters = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_Printer where ExtendedPrinterStatus = 7") For Each sPrinter in sInstalledPrinters sPrinter.Delete_ Next

I've used this in the past to remove network printers 'Remove all Network printers but not local printers Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network") Set Printers = WshNetwork.EnumPrinterConnections For i = 0 to Printers.Count - 1 Step 2 If Left(ucase(Printers.Item(i+1)),2) = "\\" Then WScript.Echo Printers.Item(i+1) WSHNetwork.RemovePrinterConnection Printers.Item(i+1) End IF Next and this to remove local printers 'Remove all Local printers but not Network printers strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colInstalledPrinters = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from Win32_Printer Where Network = FALSE") For Each objPrinter in colInstalledPrinters objPrinter.Delete_ Next

OK, what is your ESO build guys? I am curious as to what everyone is rocking out. When I get to Deshaan I may change up a few things in the alteration shrine, but this is what I rock so far. Nephilims Dragon Knight Build

Yes...Pistonheads in particular. I joined hoping to get some advice for a particular issue with my mrs old car, where there is a problem with the ECU producing a fault when its wet weather or just damp. Answers ranged from buy a new car, to scrap the car. Turns out the issue was with the seal around the ECU housing not being waterproof, so a bit of silicon sealer and an ECU from a scrapped model (which I then did the remap for) and job was done.

ok, well not sure on how much weight is lost (it depresses me looking at the scales to be honest), so instead I measure my self in inches etc. to give you an example, where I am now, when I started I was a 52inch waist (yes, 52!!), I am now a 48.5inch waist, I need a new belt, and new trousers as these ones keep dropping off me. It may not seem like much to some of you, but to me its a big goal!
