Ba-dum tish! :D

It's actually more to do with a recent increase in demand for gold for industrial processes and a corresponding hike in prices than the collapse of the monetary system. Mind you, they're going to have to do something about the capitalist system sooner or later. You can't have continuous...

Partly right, as in a modern well-insulated house will produce less CO2. Wrong as in there *has* been an increase in the Global Mean Surface Temperature over the past 10 years. The GMST is the best method of recording changes and the one that climate scientists use...

The maximum length is the same for 10/100/1000baseT. For 10GbaseT the maximum length is 55m for a clean (low electrical noise, separated data cables) environment or 37m for a noisy (higher electrical noise, bunched data cables) environment. Cat 6a permits runs up to 100m. The maximum length...

As djrock says, you don't normally have an rj45 plug on a cat 5 networking cable unless it's a patch lead. It might be easier to cut the plugs off and reterminate if you want proper wall mounted sockets. You'll need a proper punchdown tool and will need to follow standards to do this. If...

Synapse, you are Linus Torvalds and I claim my £5. :P In all seriousness, I've tried and used just about every Linux distro from Slackware up to Ubuntu and while things have improved immensely, it's still a techie OS no matter how you dress it up - it's a UNIX after all. what he knows.

On top of which DOS version? :P

WINE will not run all Windows apps, and VM setup isn't a straightforward matter either. Even with the recent improvements in Linux distros and package managers, it's still very much a techies OS. The average user wants an OS that does everything for him and applications that are available...

Sorry, but you're not going to like the answer. Don't mess with the boiler yourself it can be very dangerous to do so. Contact a gas safe registered engineer and get it repaired professionally. All the best

:lol: :lol: :lol: Thickness, of course ;)

I was kidding with you - this is the electrics forum. Recommended screed drying time is 1 week per cm of screed - don't rush into it.

What's the design current? ;)

The problem with platform changes is twofold, 1. Having to learn how to manage and use the said new platform and 2. Having to lose prior investment in software and reinvest in new. There's no reason that Windows 7 shouldn't run on a netbook as long as it meets the required spec. Windows 7...

Firefox maybe - it's an excellent browser, but Chrome? Would you honestly trust Google given their attitude to data ownership and security?

Suit yourself. Might as well save yourself money by cancelling your insurance policies - they won't pay out anyway :P

You've been given excellent advice and guidance. If you think you know better then go ahead and accept the risk. If you have a family then consider them first. Yes, there are cowboys in cyberland as you put it, so be careful not to breach any insulation with your spurs :P

Well if you had it all checked by an engineer, why didn't he tell you where to connect it, how to test it, or better still install it himself. Engineers don't necessarily know the requirements of domestic installations. People asked you to confirm the CSA (cross sectional area) of the cable...

No, because it hasn't. Read the studies. Here's a good place to start: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/

Resistance to tamiflu is not resistance to the vaccine.

The weight of the unit is usually an indicator of PSU type. Switched mode types are very light and have safety circuits that shut them down in the event of a fault either in the supply itself or the load. If the meter you're using is a digital type, then it's likely that the PSU is seeing it...
