I've got an Ixus 850 - I bought it in Hong Kong when I was on my honeymoon as my old V2 was playing up. It's a good camera and having the wide angle lens is very useful. The pictures come out pin sharp too. Well worth the money.
When we had Sky+ installed the bloke made such a mess of getting the cables from the dish to the box that when he got his drill out and said something about drilling through the wall to the phone point I said no way! Instead I told him just to leave me a long cable and I'd fix it in permanently...
I've still got an A500 and a 1200 somewhere at my folks house. However, now I've got WinUAE complete with all the Kickstart ROMs and every version of Workbench (not to mention a 7Gb RAR file full of games!) who needs to mess about with hardware? ;)
Share price in my company crashed from $120 to $5 during the .com meltdown in 2000. I have options - how do you think I felt!!! (saying that, it worked out well as I got new options at $5, and only had to sell a few to get my 172 for cash!)
Anyway, as we've got a server willy waving contest...
My fiancée used to work at Nortel (she ran the support team for some big telecoms switches) before the crooks who ran it did one leaving the company in the lurch big time and making '000s of people redundant....
^^^ Agree with that! Trouble is, if I'm down the pub and someone asks what I do, it's easier to say IT and move on quickly than explain I'm a Software Test Engineer that tests large scale enterprise remote access solutions... :) I certainly don't see myself as working in IT, but as I 'work with...
To be honest, probably not! Having said that, we have a pretty good culture in our UK offices as the 'US ways' have made it over here. There's a lot to be said for that. The beech meeting was really just a 'working lunch' in the sunshine!
There are so many types of job that come under the...
We have two offices in the UK - Gerrards Cross (near Uxbridge) and Cambridge. HQ is in Florida - last time I was there I had a meeting on the beech! :)
This is the reason I use GoToMyPC - no hassle setting it up, messing about with port forwarding etc. It also supports sound and disconnected sessions and runs over port 80/443 which means I can always get to it no matter what firewall I'm behind (some places block the RDP and/or VNC ports for...
Don't get me wrong, I've had a look at it a few times. As it was brand new rubber I never bothered to take it out to check which is why i never noticed it was an alloy. Strange that they gave out alloys as spares, must have cost them quite a bit.
Oh, and sorry this question got posted twice...
I had to change a wheel at the weekend. It looked like the spare/jack/tools etc hadn't been taken out of the boot since the day the car left the factory. When I got my spare out I was a bit shocked to see that is was a standard and totally new 172 alloy! I always thought that spares were just...

Lets you share Linux desktops remotely and it's free.
On Windows I suggest you use Citrix as that's what pays my wages... ;)
It's a fact of owning a DSLR that the sensor will get some dirt on it at some point. It's no big deal - I got a rocket air blower thingy and it gets most of the muck off my sensor. There is also loads of stuff on the web about how to clean sensors. Just how dirty was your sensor to require it...
hmmm.... that looks an interesting bit of software. I'm a bit of a VMWare geek so I might give that a go. However, I still think of you have the original media you're better off creating an image from scratch...
No you don't. You can use the FREE VMWare Server to do it:

I use it at home (I do all my downloading in a VMWare Windows image). VMWare have a product called P2V which lets you create images from physical disks, but I think you have to pay for it and I'm...
I'm not to hot on RIS (so everything from here could be rubbish!) but at work we use Altiris which re-images via PXE. The gotcha is nearly always the network card drivers. You can have two identical PCs with what you think are identical NICs but it turns out that they need different drivers...
hmm... I'd say keep the car's speed the same and up the shutter speed. Only reason I used 1 second was that it was at night so I was deliberately trying to blur the outside...
How fast were you going? If you set a slow enough shutter speed you could be doing 10mph and it would seem like a lot faster! Key is to play around and see which shutter speed and road speed give the best feeling while eliminating any chance of camera shake. It's all a bit trail and error at...
Put the camera on Shutter Priority (S on Nikons I think...) and take a reading to see what aperture it needs (do this outside the car). Now put the camera on M and dial in those settings. Putting it on M means that the shutter speed and aperture won't change. Now mount the camera and take some...

Historicaly, all phone circuits had a ring circuit to make the bell ring in the phone. (youngters here will probaly not remember when phones had REAL BELLS in them!) This isn't needed now so you can disconnect it. It...
If you really only need a small site with minimal info and you get some free webspace off your isp (I get some with Pipex for example) then buy a cheap domain name (uk2.net or somoene similar) and redirect it to the free web space. Job done.
