    The UK debt.

    QE contributes to the deficit as it is a devaluation factor. Its not the original cause of the deficit though

    The UK debt.

    The government adding to national debt is not necessarily directly attributable to the capita of the UK, for example the UK government could extend their national debt to aid a third party (i.e. country), with a promise of future investment (you may read this as a kickback). If it transpires...

    Either tom-tom or Garmin for the decent stuff You could also do something like an iPad or Galaxy tablet and add tom tom , cynic, navigon etc. Personally I'd go for tom tom everytime tbh.

    The UK debt.

    No, the government needs to spend £1300 less per year per capita (if you want to view it like that). Not every government expense is a direct cost allocated to populous.

    Sky 'eye' not working

    How would reloading the firmware help if the RF2 power is not switched on or if there isn't 9v between inner conductor and shield due to a break or poor connection? That much is evident and speaks volumes.

    Sky 'eye' not working

    The red light has nothing to do with signal strength and very little to do with cable length (if it was you wouldn't get a picture or it would break up, in this case I bet the picture is fine but the remote doesn't work), its the effect of the +9v that the RF2 output puts down the co-ax. If you...

    hotmail scam

    Monkeh didn't shout ;) Malware providers often exploit google spiders/bots to enable a potentially dangerous (as regards malware/spyware etc) sit to get a high ranking. Normally these are quashed fairly quickly by google (especially in this case as they have scripts to monitor web content...

    Is this any good?

    Gaming agreed, it would be fine for video and music work unless you were really taxing it with cubase. Even premiere cs5 will be fine with that for home use

    How to get rid of BT Openzone Virus?

    With OpenZone (like other APs), if you are using it elsewhere then it remembers the network and will auto connect to your OpenZone when you get home. Say for example you only have OpenZone and your home wifi, you might be using your home wifi and it remembers this. When you go to work you...

    How to get rid of BT Openzone Virus?

    It doesn't though, the OS decides the preferred network connection based on a couple of things, mostly signal strength if you haven't altered the preferred networks setting manually and the networks are all "known" and the security keys are correct. BT Open Zone is just like any other AP...

    wifi old laptop

    Pretty much any will do, might as well get one that (at least supports WPA ;) ) is 802.11b/g/n compatible the N part will allow faster transfer rates (although only really noticed on internal network transfer speeds). SP3 on your laptop increases its protection against security issues, just...

    wifi old laptop

    Ah, if its WEP then you didn't need the WPA2 patch although installing SP3 (did you install SP3 or just the hot fix?) obviously has a lot of security fixes so it helps in other areas. Are you sure the WEP key you are typing in is correct? It is case sensitive. Also WEP keys are either 5...

    wifi old laptop

    Although you'd be better getting SP3 if its XP http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=24 I peter the admin download as it enables you to save the SP3 file to a usb key or other drive so you can re-apply it whenever you fell or can apply it to other xp machines.
