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 sm…

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 be…

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 betwe…

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 off…

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 i…

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 PC…

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?

Hot corners.

I didn't say it was illegal.

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 th…

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 t…

'Legislation states if children over the age of 10 of the opposite sex are sharing a bedroom they should have their own rooms – otherwise this is considered overcrowding.' https://…

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 …

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 …

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

Just rename it to Boof!

There's Java and Javascript, heck, there is far worse out there.
