My local does not do food. But you can bring it in. So that is simply not true. However, I do know some pubs that have mainly tried to become restaurants. We once tried to run a small cafe/restaurant, with only about 8-10 tables. An

I brushed off an old AMD motherboard. And did a quick CPU scout on Ebay to see what I'd need to pay for the greatest CPU of yesteryear. And for about a tenner, I could get AMD's best offering. But alas, it burnt many watts, and

I prefer consistency. The system setting, is the best here. If my system is dark, go dark, if light, go light. At night, dark is great, in a bright room, light wins. Shifting between the extremes is horrid.

The flip side is that when you are stuck in a busy noisy office, the only place you want to be, is at home to concentrate and do your work. Stuck at home too long, and need the office. Balance.

Shunting workspaces about is a great idea.

Using it with Nvidia/Gnome 3 on OpenSuse Leap 15.1. Screen jumped left repeatedly today, and I'm having trouble turning it off. Other than that seems to be okay...

Why would the plane demo devour 50% of my CPU? Intel P8400.

If it's any consolation you miss it when it's gone.

Don't worry with age your brain will deaden. My mind raced, I learned somewhat how to chill it right out, and now it flat-lines far too much.

Just read the summary. For me personally a hot to cold shower isn't nice. But a cold shower although initially repulsive becomes very enjoyable. And when it ends the thaw feeling is magic. When you are freezing, even cold feels war

That's what they are called. Not sure why the negativity.

Not sure why the downvote. This was a legitimate concern. I supported Windows PCs back then, and it was hard enough getting people distilled in the mantra of shutting down their PCs without just pulling the power. And then the default be

Double clicking is dreadful. So horrible to learn.

I have this odd contacts thing. Start there for calls and chats, or start with a call or chat then find the contact? Not so simple.

Didn't Vista default to suspend when pressing the power button - in the menu?

There's plenty of space in the UK for housing. Just go up in a plane to look. The greenbelt curtails sprawl, and inflates housing value. I don't think low-density has to even be that bad. Dumping the inner/town city road n

I think some of the earlier built flats are really good quality. With thick floors between too. Modern flats and houses in Britain can be built to very low standards. I watched a terrace go up near Bradford, with timber and stud walling

You say that, we stayed in a farmhouse in Ireland. Two rooms - one bedroom and the kitchen/sitting room, around a huge hearth. With the cowshed directly attached. Ours was vaguely modernised, hearth ripped out, small bathroom add-on

I love the heat-mass feeling, many old houses are reliant upon this, and when unheated the chimneys can get wet, smell damp, and wick moisture from below. Knocking through on an L shaped terrace, to the kitchen, gives a little more room, bu

The floor plan shows a knock through, that's quite non-typical, non-original.

Another good reason to pop out video. I hate watching it in the browser, I just want to send it to my preferred player.

That's horrible to know. How does something like the Chromecast do this then, if it is just a glorified browser?

I remember we were running Win XP and Server 2000 pre-millenium. We were donated a Win 3.1 machine, and were astounded how fast it booted. Or rather it's all rather relative. Win 10 was pared down for phone use, and the energy tweaks

Yep, managed an afternoon with 10, and I'm not one to usually give up, but due to my chipset not being supported which made shutting down difficult, I turned it off and have never booted that drive since. I have Win 8 and 8.1 on other

In netscape the default background colour used to be black on light grey. I find that much easier on my eyes than black on white. Even a light yellow with dark green text. But given a dark room I like to switch the other way. See how yo
