dead_on_arrvial replied to the topic Mozilla Firefox in the board Technical Q&A 16 years, 10 months ago
I do find this an “odd” post.
IE is a stander program, it works well and is the default browser for most programs.
A lot of the time you don’t have much choice but to use it.
Firefox is lighter but has fewer users and if you are dealing with main stream sites, its often simpler to use IE.
But Firefox is a “clone” program, anyone who has use…[Read more]

dead_on_arrvial replied to the topic lcd tv’s in the board Technical Q&A 16 years, 11 months ago
Right the reason you are having so much trouble is this:
Programs are broad cast in differnet formats and screen sizes.
Most good tv’s have a “auto” setting that changes the size screen and pic set’s.
It sounds like you have not turn it on or don’t have this on your tv.

It looks like your computers are under power.
I know people are running “other programs” at the same time has using this site, you wold be better off closing down anything your not using.
I think with all the “add on’s” you all seem to be using you are lucky its working at all.

Let me try and answer this in simple terms.
There are 2 kinds of “widow”
First widow is someone who hubby/wifely has die due to accident or illness.
Second widow is someone who has lost a hubby/wifely who was serving in the Arm forces or thru a act of war such has air bombing, but not a act of terrorism.
The pensions are paid at dif…[Read more]

I think the case you should be looking at is the “war widows pension”.
Back in the 70’s the government try to standerize widows pension, it was to paid at a lower rate for everyone, including “war widows”.
The action failed and the Law lords ruling now apply to anyone claiming “state benefit without a changed of personal circu…[Read more]

Something like “round up”” or “weedol” should stop it.
You should be cutting this plant back in spring, its a nasty one and will take over your garden.
Your better off removing it and replanting it in a pot or a bin to keep its size down.

For some of us “fibre optics” nothing new.
I remember doing my work exspearants at school with BT and replacing copper with fibre optics and new telephone exchanges .
That was few years ago…………
Is it any better than copper? …………. Well yes it is but not for the reasons you may think.
Its far easier for company’s to lay in the street.

You can always save on hot water bills by only using what you need and not having store hot water like a cycliner in your airing cubbord.
The best way to save on water bills for single people or people without kids is a water meter.
