    General Elections in general

    As a Geek I believe online voting would be a catastrophe for democracy. The ruling government of the time has the encryption keys and would be so easy to fiddle the results. The old fashion paper method rules and even then I heard some disturbing news yesterday that my sister in law who is...

    Adminstrator ?

    Check in "Users" what accounts are there and what rights they have. You could do a test. Make a new account and give it admin rights and see what happens.

    New computer currys

    Go for it. Although if it's a laptop that's a bit old in the tooth you might want to try a lean version. Something like... Lubuntu or Xubuntu Of course you don't even need to choose a "Buntu", you could just go for a version of debian <---Debbie and Ians O/s as the "buntu's"...

    Are front fogs part of the MOT test?

    I wonder for how long though. More and more manufacturers are wiring them into the indicator and saying they are now "See where you turn" lights. Moronic imho as they divert your gaze away from the indicator into a " He's got one foglight out and why has he got his foglights on anyway"...
