Suspect its some kind of statistical test ie even a verified positive result could be down to random noise that proportion of the time. It doesn't mean the opposite - that there is 92/93 chance of it being real.

They already deliver in the UK; it's only a matter of time. Unfortunate too as they're worse at it than the firms they replaced.

Thanks, unfortunately you need a US card / address for that. The UK site won't let you buy - it has the button but it doesn't actually let you buy it, just download the trial. Weird... Thanks everyone else also for your suggestions. I'll test them once my 14 day trial is over!

Thanks, but what does that have that nero platinum doesn't?

Hi guys, I excitedly bought a 3d TV (Samsung h6700), 3d blue ray drive (LG), Nero w/codecs, Maxwell 980 and the latest HDMI cable with the (ancillary) aim of being able to play 3d blue ray disks. Well, I tried that today and in short no combination of 3d settings on the monitor would make...

Thanks - but doesn't that have voltage issues being US built?

I live in the UK and am dying to get a good quality standing desk that's customised with cable management, power plugs, etc. I can't find any company that will service a single-desk order though, and there aren't any suppliers that will deliver and assemble the kind of complete solutions this...

Whilst I do get the potential for misuse I think it's probably more important for young gay people (than for straight people) to have access at an early age to a social network of people in a similar position. I'm sure there are many that can't look to their family or friends for support at that...

you....are...joking... right....?

Hands down the most hilarious comment-single-photo-response exchange I've ever and will ever see!

Ta - another site showed me my password hint and now looks like I need to go do some changing :)

er...mine was compromised by Adobe...but I'm pretty sure I've never signed up for anything involving a user account at adobe.... what site would I have done such a thing on? Dont have creative cloud...

Beat me too it. I don't see him as a comedian. He is clearly exceptionally clever and VERY quick witted and can be quite insightful. This does as mentioned make him superb at interviews, and he can combine the lot to great comedic affect.

My thoughts: 1) Nothing worse than being in a non-stimulating career. It will kill you, and seep into your personal life. 2) Travel changes EVERYTHING. Particularly as a new parent - is your parter ok with you being largely absent? Can you stand being away from your partner and kid for...

I'd like to take this opportunity to point out my grandmother saw one of them blow up over Crystal Palace as a girl. Living history!

Hi guys, Was hoping this place had a webdesign sub-forum - after a bit of help. I'm having a website built for me by a developer. Its using Joomla, Gantry framework. As part of it, I wish to sell .pdfs to customers who pay online and have the pdf sent to them once theyve done so...

In some of the shots he looks just like Beavis (&butthead)

And the small plastic refil cartridges will be 30% of the printer price :) You will of course, only be able to use approved plastic.

Thanks guys for those thorough responses. In response to some questions, I am aware of those charities and also the computer support available. I'm at a really awkward point whereby the typical support (magnifyer based technology or screenreaders) is more of a hinderance to productivity than...

PS: we're talking word documents, powerpoint and excel - not photoshop.

Gosh - thank you everyone for all this help, and sorry for the delay in responding. As some background, my eyes to suffer from glate and also managing different light contrasts (my eyes don't adjust like most peoples). This means facing a window for example is a nightmate. I've used glossy...

Thanks both. I'm not fussed about widescreen or not - but I guess widescreen would help avoid horizontal scrolling with documents so probably the best fit. Do you think running the 30" at 1/4 resolution would be a better outcome quality wise than getting a 32" 1366 x 768 LCD tv?

Thanks for your response. I like it even lower than that - my current 19" is at somethingx768 :O As to the arm, I'm not sure what I'll have to stick it to at the moment - new job. Cheers

Hi all, Would love some help please. I'm looking for a monitor to use at work. I'm visually impaired, and so native low res is preffered (much more effective than larger DPI etc- know all the tricks!). What is important for me is high quality (contrast, brightness etc) and also the quality...

Bingo, and I for one can't wait to see that.....in 5 years time, when that battery will still get you a day's worth of phone use :p

Didn't read the article alert :p

I was initially schocked and had the same reaction about installing ac, then read how that was uncommon and this response from a worker: "What they didn't mention in that article is how They had iced down water bottles in ice chests at Least 1 in every work area and mod. 3 days a week had...

That's a false alternative. The companies in europe are doing comparatively fine for the situation they are in. Also if you read my previous posts, you will note I am not against redundancy measures borne out of business neccessity.

Unions have a function. For me, it is to protect the most vulnerable types of employees - in sectors where there is a potential abundance of labour (ie largely unskilled work). Union power should be controlled, to avoid completely unjustified actions which for example prevent modernisation or...

Some of the sentiment really makes me sad here. "They work for you not the other way around"? a) This isn't services we are talking about, its employment. It isn't "you". And its a bilateral relationship. What the hell is it with "no one must question the might of authority". The...

In my opinion you are confusing matters. Yes, society (according to many schools of philosophy) is about in some way organising personal interests to a purpose. However - corporations, government - they are the means to the end. There is no "natural order" of corporations. They don't have...

In one sense I agree - which is why employees require protections such as the laws in question. No single employee can stand up to a corporation on their own. However, basically I don't think an economic system can be considered in isolation (from eg social systems generally). As such I...

Wow, our first total idiot. How do you think employees move up and become boss? What do you think made Steve Jobs get called back to apple? Not because people loved him. Its idiots that think the only people that can have an opinion are the people who are already in positions of authority...

At its core its very simple why things arent the same - there is a massive difference in the balance of power between an individual and a company, 99% of the time. This concept of balance of power is inherent for example in contract law, including that of ths US. You could get a more...

It is one thing taking action out of a defined business need (such as ressession, need to modernise process, etc) - this leads to what we call redundancy measures - which also have a defined process to follow to ensure treatment of workers is as equitable as can be. This differs from being an...

This is a very short sighted way of looking at employment. There are efficiencies to the workplace and to the community which come from job security. The approach of throwing things by the wayside the minute some percieved marginal, perhaps short term improvement comes along is horribly flawed

...and that wouldnt be considered a good enough reason.

I suspect EU labour laws are far more stringent than you have. You can't just get rid of someone for no reason. Needs to be pretty solid, process to go through etc

Sorry for the late reply. To clarify, as a consultancy we will have clear terms of business and we are talking about large corporate relationships - there is no question of "unsolicited" or "scamming" here. Its more of a relationship management piece. Large projects will be specially scoped...

Hi all, I work for a company which I believe has an easily solveable problem. We are a consultancy and part of our job is to produce documents which may or may not be of interest to clients, deliver them and charge them. Our model is to judge whether a client wants it, then send it and...
