  1. Any one with any sense is now not using Internet Explorer (and probably for years now). However that leaves a lot of people with no sense/that don't know better that are still using Internet Explorer..... still some 75% of the desktop market or so. some users simply dont have the option but to use ie. for example, me as a civil servant at work, even though i know better. Theres zero chance of me at work being able to use an open source browser on an open source os. which is probably the point of the eu's recent action. Surely that was a decision made by your IT department rather than Microsoft? Indeed it is - but at work i dont have a choice. upon further thought - if there was a choice, would you as a taxpayer be happy with paying for 100k civil servants being retrained to use firefox and possibly open office and ubuntu? there would also be the additional cost of testing if all the benefit computer systems would work with linux, not to mention that the whole process of going opensource would probably take decades and be 12x over budget. fops point was that everyone has a choice but some dont. and even if that choice was there - who would switch?

  3. Signing up promising kids is hugely encouraging but surely the recruitment priority should be directed at the 1st team?
  4. Lawnmower Deth - now theres a band.
  5. Some lovely throughballs in the middle of the pitch in that clip.
  6. Slumdog Millionaire http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1010048/ Excellent
  7. Its been rumoured for a while that abramovich has been wanting to sell up.
  8. Im having a fiddle with it now.
  9. You can see in the 1st picture that theres a recessed circle to the top left. there was also an identical one to the top right but upon closer inspection it looked slightly different. this was because it was the screw that had been painted over to match the other recessed circle. so i had the scrape the paint off to get at the screw.
  10. Im HUGELY tempted to get it and install it as its actually meant to be quite good.
  11. There was a slight brown trouser moment, yes.
  12. One of my external mybooks has failed on me - so ive took the enclosure apart and managerd to dismantle and unscrew the internals to get access to the drive itself which ive installed as an internal in my pc case that my bios has detected and the drive runs as normal. (it appears to be something on the enclosure thats failed, not the drive itself). In case this happens to anyone else - the mybooks have a hidden screw that helps keep the enclosure closed. took me FUCKING AGES to realise - the SNEAKY BASTARDS! TWATS!
  13. Mine has a glossy purple finish to it.
