Thanks for the info, I'll drop them an E-Mail on the off chance they will give us 1 license to use

Yeah, thought as much, just wanted to be 100% as this teacher has a bit of a reputation for throwing their toys out of the pram Thanks!

Does Vista like anything? Haven't managed to try it on my Windows 10 PC yet!

I've had an ICT teacher ask that Unity is installed in the ICT classrooms for September. I have said no based off the fact that they have not paid for the appropriate license. As their website states: The teacher in question is adamant that it's installed, and will not accept that we need to pay for it, they keep saying that it doesn't matter as we're based in the UK not the US?? Wondering if anyone could confirm this to me? Obviously I don't want to break any copyright laws! but this teacher is really pushy.

It's a mod for Half-Life 2, they've released version 5.0 today, take a look at the trailer: I've never heard of this before, it looks pretty damn good if you ask me! EDIT: Video embed seems broken -

Definitely, plus I've heard (on PS4 at least) that there are some bugs causing the game to crash often, and as there's no auto-save people so are losing hours of gameplay, think it's wise to hold off on this one for a month or so until they sort the issues. Saying that, the Bill Bailey ad very nearly triggered an impulse buy!

It looks like a good game, but I don't know if it's worth the asking price of £46 (amazon). Might wait for it to come down in price a bit first, also waiting for the reviews

Just bought The Witcher 3 on PS4 for £20 after hearing nothing but good things about it - it seems ok, a little daunting though for a Withcher newbie like me! Going to have a good blast on it later

I think it's under Web proxy » Authentication » Manage policies, then you'll need to create a transparent authentication policy for your user/computer

It should be under warranty, they can only refuse to fix it if they can prove the damage was done through carelessness (ie water damage). It shouldn't matter if it's a European model or not, sounds like a cop-out to me. I'd double check the warranty terms and if you're confident it's a manufacturer issue then they have to fix it by law. Be stubborn and threaten to take them to court, keep reiterating the fact that they are breaking the law by not honoring the warranty. Have a read of this: Two-year warranty loophole (EU law) | This is Money I had a similar thing with my old Galaxy S5, to be fair I had dropped it and the screen was broke, but I wasn't impressed with their support at all, they outsource all of their repairs and the amount of hoops they make you jump through is ridiculous!

What 'Murica doesn't understand is that they will never stop piracy. No amount of money or celebrity protesting will work, all they're going to do is provoke people. The issue I have is that there is no service available to me where I can pay money and get access to a decent amount of content all in one place. I'd have to sign up to multiple subscription-based services and they wouldn't even offer close to what I can get online for free. Netflix, Amazon Prime, Now TV etc is mostly filler and old content. For a lot of people there is no viable alternative to piracy. Instead of punishing those who pirate they should be working together to offer a good streaming service that has all movies, TV shows etc on there no matter what country you're in or what studio owns the rights. Unfortunately that isn't going to happen any time soon and so people will continue to pirate. Oh and for the record, I am not condoning piracy, this is just the reality of the situation. America has no right to shut down sites like this, but who's going to stop them?

Oh no, RM Tutor 7 on the horizon?? *shudders*

Nintendo have either been ingenious here or really stupid, hard to tell. I mean what's the point in this? Yeah it looks kinda cool but still pretty pointless in a world where everyone has a computer in their pocket anyway. I wonder if they're targeting hipsters with this, it would sit nicely in a star bucks!

Jumped on the bandwagon this morning, but can't get a GPS signal in my office!!

There's a good video on YouTube detailing how the destruction works in Battlefield 1: It looks more like Bad Company level destruction, which is fantastic to see again, looks ace!

The force was strong this morning

Cheers for the feedback, I'll try and get back in there tomorrow and persuade it to come loose

Yeah, it was me that rounded it trying to unscrew it, nearly broke my wrist in the process lol - So you guys reckon just a bit a brute force then? I'm only too happy to oblige We did buy a universal bracket to replace it with, but it now seems that will not attach to the existing pole, even if we manage to get the old one off (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00A4DKHYC/ref=twister_B00IKSDRJU?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1) - can anyone recommend a bracket that will attach to the pole?

We've had our oldest projector die recently -14 years old. We now have a replacement but the bracket in place is specifically designed for the old model. It also has a safety screw on it that we can't figure out how to undo, I've attached some photos of said bracket. We have the correct torx screwdriver & a new bracket but the screw will not budge! Any ideas?

Cool, will join later on when I get home

We are currently in the process of migrating our E-Mail from MS Exchange 2007 > Gmail. In Exchange 2007 we have Dynamic Distribution Groups set up so for example 'All Year 7' points to the user folder that contains all Year 7 users. This migrates across to Gmail nicely by using GADS to import objectClass=msExchDynamicDistributionList which imports them as 'Groups' on Google. When we install our new servers in the summer (Server 2012 R2) we will not have a new Exchange server, so I'm wondering how to go about setting up distribution lists, can you set-up Dynamic Distribution Lists in Server 2012 or is it and Exchange-only thing? This technet article seems to suggest that you can only do it on Exchange: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123722(v=exchg.160).aspx unless there's another way around it?

Cool, thanks Yep had a good couple of games, was fun - Yeah it's ok, not as good as I was expecting but for free you can't really complain

Don't think so I'll add you up, my PSN is Leeoc91 - I've just remembered that a new map came out yesterday as well for free that I haven't played yet (Neo Tokyo) good excuse to jump online later!

I play Rocket League regular on PS4 and would be interested in an EduGeek team - although you can cross-play I don't think you can invite friends to your party if they're on different platforms, cross-play is only with random people (at least it was last time I tried)...
