It's not a daft idea if you have some sort of password manager to encrypt/decrypt and re-enter your logins. You can think what you like, but you are ignorant, companies in this country do regularly ignore data protection legislation here is an example of T-Mobile employees fencing your mobile...

This is the sort of block I am referring to with having a geek make you the admin and the kids limited user accounts. Of course they can just pull out the drive and run an NT password cracker on it but if they know how to do this sort of thing you probably know they do :)

It's probably not facebook which is making the problems, it's more likely what they are installing or, already have installed on your PC that is causing the issue. There are so many levels of blocking on a Windows PC it is a minefield and how far you have to go depends on how technically...

I ended up re-using bits of pipe which have fine masonry and plaster dust in so I'd been planning to give them a decent flush...

Sorry, I must disagree they ARE a problem, they are quite sinister. What dave.m means by they are not a problem is they haven't compromised your computer, but what they do is worse than many of the things which do compromise your computer. See, the only thing a cookie does is to store a...

The "dongles" are all basically the same, despite what the staff at the phone shops will tell you. You can use one SIM card from another network in another networks dongle, so long as you know how to set the software up manually (because it will have the wrong software on it). So it won't be...

Phone up 3 and ask them to send the 3G internet settings settings to your phone. If they won't or are too dumb to do it ask again here and I will find them out for you and how to program them into your phone. It won't be locked to Vodafone if it is unlocked, whats probably happened is that it...

Let me put a situation to you. You are in a jury service. The defendant is accused of downloading child pornography. He says "I didn't do it, someone must have stolen my wi-fi!" The prosecution says, "his wi-fi was encrypted and we found no evidence of anyone stealing his wi-fi" [it had WEP...

I'd thought the best way to do that would be to just turn the water on before fitting the taps, cistern, etc with isolation valves turned on so that only 1 pipe is "live" at a time and drain 80-100 litres of water from each into a bucket. That reasonable? Or maybe you can get something that...

Making a mess... Trying to fit a new bathroom. Didn't plan on doing it DIY but the guy I hired to do it made a mess of it, I mean he did do it, and I didn't tell him no I don't want those pipes laid all over the walls, I'd like the close-coupled toilet to sit against the wall not float in the...

Ahh, just what I wanted to hear :D Thanks boss!

Both at same time. Didn't have another solder ring so I used an end feed one and just melted loads of solder on it until it dribbled into the bit where I couldn't fit the solder wire then used 2 mirrors and a torch to check it's gone round the whole of the lip... and it has... looks a right...

Will it be OK to just heat it up, pull it apart and put another one on? I can't cut it any shorter and will have to pull even more pipes out if it isn't

Good advice that... the benefit of hindsight and received wisdom :D

Used a solder ring for the first time... have only used end feed and compression before. Had to make a join where I didn't think I would fit the solder round the back so thought I'd try the solder ring. One side made a nice little ring, in fact it was so easy I probably wouldn't have bothered...

now that's clever :D

Sometimes I have to cut up a floorboard that doesn't allow me to put a pad saw down either of the sides of it (usually one against a wall one side with pipes running down the other). I don't have to do it very often so I use a floorboard saw as I can't really justify the price of those...

The difference is in the eye of the beholder, in the tangible world of real things, the only difference is the word of the partners involved. They are not the same thing, but rowing IS psychological violence if one partner insults the other and that partner decides to see it as such. So, if...

Why did you post a very big picture of Mandy? With my life, with my wife... No seriously, it's Mandelson, the only thing he puts before business is his own business. Did love his poise, reaction and comments about democracy when that hippie threw custard at him though, but the whole "I...

I defer to the intelligent poster above me, and I can only try and guess what you mean by this is that you will have done work which it would be unreasonable to have had done unless it was by the person intending to move the meter. I think you are unfortunately one of the people who is caught...
