It's in the last place you look for it. :D

I am responsible for doing the PAT testing in my workplace and undertook training under the 2nd edition IEE code of practice. I see that in the 3rd edition it has clarified the issue of equipment connected to a flex outlet such as a FCU. I had always interpreted these as being part of the...

It would appear that yet again we Brits are the only ones who play by the rules. We queue and have an open market place like the EU is supposed to be. The problem is not so much that we are giving the contract to foreign companies with foreign workers but that in other EU countries they look...

Another vote for Foxit here.

You can get similar problems if someone has wrongly adjusted the clock or phase control of the monitor. If it has an auto adjust button, you could try pressing it. Also see if you can try the screen on another PC before rushing out to buy a graphics to make sure.

What about accepting PayPal payments? From what I can see on their website, the entry business account has no setup fee, no monthly payments and no cancellation fee. The transaction fees start at 3.4% + £0.20 Seems like a useful facility to have that costs nothing to offer. Adding a fee for...

Tell me about it. Last time I drove there every other bu**er was on the wrong side of the road and kept hooting at me. :lol: :lol:

Have a look at vinyl that goes on the outside of the window. A couple of builders I know had the rear windows of their vans done. Get it fitted professionally though.

He has very good grounds to take them to court on the basis of sex discrimination.

A survey revealed that of every 100 people working in early years childcare only 2 are men. One of the main problems as I see it though, is the media and their scaremongering reporting. If any man shows an interest in working with children, it is almost automatically assumed that he must be...

The make of wireless card can make an inexplicable difference. A friend of mine kept loosing connection to a netgear access point when he used his Dell's internal wireless card. Tried a Netgear card and it worked perfectly. Do you have a belkin card? If not and all else fails, it might be...

Google Ultimate Boot CD Utility on there to change the passwords. Change the password to the administrator account and away you go. Also, make sure that you are logging onto the local machine and that it is not trying to contact a domain.

Then a sound engineer went into the same bar and asked for a double entendre, so the barman gave him one two.

Generally as long as the type of memory is the same i.e. DDR2 in your case it will work. The speed is set by the computer and doesn't change. It will just clock the memory slower. It is only a problem when you try to put slower memory in. E.G. in the good old days pd SDRAM you could out...

In simple terms an RSS feed is a set of automatically updating bookmarks. (A book mark is what you create when you save a website location to your favourites) A good example is the BBC News RSS feed. In Internet Explorer (Only supported from IE7 and later) when you subscribe to an RSS Feed it...

The other thing you could do is to get an external drive caddy and use that to put the hard drives in one at a time and copy the data across. I believe that the Mac OS can read NTFS drives and read and write to FAT32 drives.

My interpretation as a non professional is that you can replace existing fittings as long as you are just changing the face plate and not altering the wiring. Same goes for the light fitting. To change the cooker outlet for a socket would require a change of circuit protection in the CU to make...

You can do anything you want on electrics. The question is "Is it notifiable?" The answer to this is Yes, as you are planning to change stuff in the consumer unit and provide a new circuit. However, if you do want to give it a go and go down the DIY route with notification to the LABC, you...

You might get more response if you ask the mods to move this to the Painting and Decorating discussion.

If you intend to get the downstairs rewired, get the electrician to do a PIR which will involve testing all the circuits and should then make sure that all work carried out is at least safe.
