    Coax over Ethernet?

    Not sensible. Easier, would be to run Internet to the TV, and use IP TV, catchup etc.

    They are untested.

    Domestic Aircon power supply

    You wouldn't want that sort of load, constantly loading your ring. The rotary isolator, is a grey, plastic cased unit, with a bright red knob, and a clear yellow on/off markings, beloved of AC engineers.

    Er? We no longer have any minesweepers, they were all scrapped.

    That is usually true of the lasers too.

    Domestic Aircon power supply

    It seems sensible, that it should be on its own 20amp supply, to cover the startup current. The rotary isolator is normally fitted, and adjacent to the outdoor unit to allow it to be isolated to work on.

    Have I made a mistake with my floor?

    1) The 10mm, is to allow the laminate to expand. You can either fit quadrant to cover the gap, remove the skirting and refit a little higher, or undercut the skirting, to allow the laminate to sit under it, but still with space to move. 2) It should slot together, with the last section held...

    What have you had for dinner

    Hunters chicken, chips, and petits pois. Whilst that was cooking, I mixed up some batter, because we picked up a bottle of lemon juice this morning - so, it just had to be crêpes, golden syrup, and lemon juice for afters..

    Capital Punishment

    Crime has to be made to be simply not worth-while. At the moment, many of the penalties make it worth-while. If they steal £100 per week, and it goes on for months, then get fined £100, they are well into profit. If they steal £1m and get locked up for 10 years, out in 10, they are still into a...

    It is heavy yes, but as it never needs to be moved it makes no difference. The weight, is in the build quality, which is why it just plods along without wearing out. As said, I had it 20 years, all it has had spent on it is a few reams of paper. I don't remember it being especially filthy, but...

    I would avoid buying those, they are built for low volume, lightly built, and relatively expensive. A used ex-office, commercial laser printer, will last forever, and parts will likewise remain available, because of the number produced. My HP4000n is some 28 years old, parts, should I need any...

    Poll: Heating Concepts

    But they are in use world-wide, in industrial and commercial environments, though I agree only the Irish have adapted them to domestic use. Why the Irish might use them, I have no idea.

    Which indicates a laser would be better. Which suggests heavier use. That is my whole point! You have to make use of it, or it clogs up with dried ink. My laser can happily sit there, unused for months/ years, it needs no regular use to keep it functional. I just turn it on when needed, and...

    Poll: Heating Concepts

    Consider this - The Willis system would not function at all, unless it did. It obviously therefore must, or no one would install one, ever.

    What about it? It is part of the cartridge, and should manage as many pages as the cartridge is designed for. The cartridge is designed for 16000 pages, heavy use, in a commercial environment. There is a good reason they use laser, rather than inkjet.
