  1. DNS issues with a switch at the hosts, not much could be done Im afraid.
  2. Horrible looking. Hope to God the Cerbera is nothing like that.
  3. This ^ It policies as standard will allow for monitoring of messages (as the company IT should only ever be used for business). Being defamatory about the business you are employed by could be treated as gross misconduct.this could carry the punishment of dismissal. The company may be on decent ground to do that as well, would any company be expected to employ an individual that has been publicly negative about that business to ther employees? Also, put yourself in the business owners shoes - would you want that person working there, would you still want to give them the promotion opportunities or give them a decent pay rise or increased responsibility. Doubtful. If you are going to slag an employer off, my advice would be not to do it on that employers time and using their systems. You wouldn't pay somebody to slag you off on your own facebook page to all your friends, so I doubt the company would like their email system being used to slag them off either...
  4. I wish it were valued like facebook Facebook has 850 Million users and a worth of $65.35Bn - so using the same figures that would make us worth $868,000 or £571,000. We wouldn't be greedy though, so open to offers over £500,000
  5. Yep - something broke earlier in the day, had to repair a couple of tables as they had locked, waiting until early hours as database needs optimising.
  6. Just bought a couple of BlackVue's myself Read enough stories about insurance companies wanting to go 50/50 and screwing people over, plus the obvious whiplash claims and "you drove into the back of me" reversing scams. You may be able to get it wired to a permanent live in or behind the courtesy light if routing round the whole windscreen is not possible. Thats where Im intending to feed from (though its not in the Zed). I may get another couple and have them rear facing in each car too. Haven't caught anything noteable on mine yet but only been in a week or so.
  7. I consider myself a sane and rational person. However, rape/murder my child and I can assure you I would be far from sane and rational. Would I follow the script of Law Abiding Citizen? Probably not. Would I shell out a few grand to some unsavoury characters to take the knee caps off with a claw hammer, and whatever else they can come up with for a few quid more? Yes. I'd happily do the time for it too.
  8. We got each other half a coffee machine.
  9. Be aware that snow in a night shot will be helping it a LOT. There is no substitute for lighting, and visible light over infra red where possible. If its nice and dark looking to the would be burglar, they arent going to give a tosh whether your cameras can see as if its lit up like daylight. If however the area is well lit, they are likely to walk on by and target the next home that isnt as well lit. Stick a few "CCTV monitoring" stickers up in a prominent place and it makes it even more likely that they will walk on by. Thats the prefered option. For them to just leave your home alone. If you are still targetted, then thats when you want the cameras to be as good as possible, however - it still relies on somebody recognising the person in the picture. If you have a full face shot of a burglar in high res, then unless you know them, you are still hoping that somebody else will recognise them. Even then you are hoping to get anything back they nick and it hasnt been shot up their arm or between their toes in the time it takes to track them down.
  10. I'll see what I can do. I'm sure there's a guide on template monster or something.
  11. Jesus I've got more chins than a Chinese telephone book. 6 stone this year is the aim. Not started well, but recent stress and upcoming upheaval from the extension should see some weight shed!
  12. Actually, it wasnt me - I was late by two posts... The honours go to Chris'I here: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/67248-is-this-how-zed-drivers-get-treated/page__st__20#entry1000926 The post is actually number 1,000,926 - however, with a total of 926 posts hard deleted over the years, this makes it the 1,000,000th post..
  13. All the best buddy have a great day!
  14. now done. Will look into widening the popup box - its a couple of the smilies that need the box to be wider, had a quick look into the templates that control this, but they didnt seem to take effect when I made the changes - think its caching the CSS for the box somewhere.
  15. Life is too short. If you arent going to risk your home and family for it, then do it. Ive made lots of impulse purchases, some I look back on and think they were a daft waste of money, others Im glad I did even if they cost me money that could have been used more wisely.
  16. Hi got the message, sorry for delay in responding, I've been a bit busy. Have posted for the team to have a look at.
  17. Appears they have done a bunch of them too:
  18. Found this the other day - I found it quite funny - excellt sync. Needs sound:
  19. Other nations must be looking at us and p*ssing themselves. A few inches of snow and we sh*t ourselves. Schools close, nurserys close, motorways shut. Its laughable.
  20. Blockbuster missed a trick with the rental market I think. They had the ready made stock and suppliers of product to be able to match the model of Lovefilm. Charge people a monthly fee for a number of discs, and set up a central postal and return service just like lovefilm. However, how many people have been slightly peeved with lovefilm when they return the disk In Thursdays post, and their next one on the list doesnt arrive until Monday. Blockbuster could have offered a service to be able to swap the disc at a store for a £1 or 50p premium. Saves having to wait the few days to get your next disc, or you could drop off at the store and that would count as being returned instantly, so no need to wait for your disc to arrive with them like you do Lovefilm. People who find themselves in a position where they want their next movie "now" - could choose to pop in get the latest one that the store has in stock and pick up a bag of popcorn, some m&m's and a tube of pringles while they're at it. Streaming is certainly the way forward, but for the 80% of people who cant get infinity or cable broadband in the country, and even when everyone has 2mb/s the bandwidth just wont be there in theis country. Where the bandwidth is there, because of the capacity based charging model employed by BT, usage caps for half the population will dampen any uptake for lots of streaming.
  21. I didnt mind the Tesco burgers, they were good. Good to firm in places.
