Chrissie the link I gave you is for the Professional Web Site, I thought you might have a business and able to purchase without TVA. Here is the link to the Particuliers Web Site. http://www.conrad.fr/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogSearchFASResultView?storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&langId=-2&searchSKU=&fh_search=MegaPulse

[quote user="AnOther"]At the price I think I'd just buy a new battery instead [;-)] http://www.pulsingproducts.co.uk/page12.html Can't believe they will be cheaper in France can you ? [/quote] Conrad have a good reputation in france, their price is HT, that means Hors Taxe. I have never heard of Andrew.

The telephone call to Ebba Kalondo of France 24 gives some idea of the mindset of the killer, the call was only a couple of hours before the security services moved in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vd0bTjkci5c

I was concerned about Microwave_Mike being worried about the CSA delay as he does not post very frequently.[I] << Martin, Don't be too harsh on pachacrappa. English is probably not his first language and he might  be using a translation programme to communicate on this forum .   M. Mike>> And I have now had time to upgrade my google translation skills...hopefully to the satisfaction of M. Mike.[:)] The pending resolution of the toulouse manhunt suggests that an announcement from the CSA will be soon , perhaps next week.

Depends on the size of the hole for the gaine in relation to the depth of the beam. personally I would drill it close to the wall and just above the neutral axis.

[quote user="Clair"][quote user="AnOther"]... I have long used a tiny little free programme I found which traps any executables which attempt to insinuate themselves into my startup. It's here if anybody wants it and I can confirm that it works both in Vista and Windows 7. http://www.mlin.net/StartupMonitor.shtml Stay safe now [geek][/quote] I have been using WinPatrol for years now. It does the same and a few more things. Whenever a program tries to modify the way the computer works, a pop-up screen appears to ask me to confirm or deny access. It's free and it works. [/quote] I have also used WinPatrol for several years; I like the Activex Controls and the Recent Tab.

[quote user="pachapapa"] Use the "torn page" icon in the IE8 toolbar when using XP in order to toggle between compatability on and compatability off. For posting compatability must be on. For comfortable forum viewing with no white expanse and minimal vertical scrolling compatibility must be off. [/quote] I just thought I would post this again on Page 14 which is normal width. "torn page toggle"

[quote user="Clair"]For info: I can view the forum without any white space by using Firefox 10, Firefox 11, IE9 and Safari on my iPad. I can post a reply, add smileys and quote without any difficulty using the same except when using Safari, as above (I had the same problems with Safari before the change to the forum.) [/quote] And I can do all that as well using Windows XP on a netbook with IE8.[:D][:D][6]

Special for microwave_mike & m963. The announcement of the 6 new TNT channels has been delayed due to the murder of 4 jews in a school in Toulouse on monday. The delay was informed to the media today tuesday. http://www.20minutes.fr/ledirect/901305/csa-reporte-decision-attribution-frequences-tnt

Semantic clarification: Chrome is the google browser not a metal found on towel rails.

One witness says the killer has blue eyes. Well that makes him a berber then.

I get logged out when I clean with CrapCleaner at the end of the day. For anyone suffering the same problem, it is necessary to change the completefrance.com exception to services.completefrance.com. In effect the URL used to access the site, I presume the active threads page, must correspond with the URL entered in the Cookie cleaning exclusion option.  

Well no news from chancer, he must be resting his mouse scroll finger. Let me recapitulate on your recommendation for security with Windows. 1) Dont update. 2) Consider updating an SP several months after its release. 3) Install an executable blocker. 4) Use a free eastern european antivirus programme. Have I missed something?

[quote user="AnOther"]My thanks to those who have given sensible and measured support and would remind PPP of what I said which was: "Like a lot of things it is turned on by default supposedly to help those who do not know how to help themselves" [;-)] [/quote] Well it looks like C has helped himself to undefault it and got himself a rootkit for his troubles. And then again with this "poxy" new forum layout I'm thinking of seeking refugee status on AI.

test If I post in XP without the compatability activated I get no white section above but any post is not processed. If I activate the compatability button then I get large white space above the active thread but it does process the message. Maybe it works better with Vista. IE8 + XP

[quote user="cooperlola"] I'm not sure I'll be able to stomach NS's crocodile tears.  The right stirs up racism and then rushes about trying to look sorry for the consequences. So very, very sad that it is the innocent who suffer as a result.  A dreadful thing as you say, R/H. [/quote] But NS is jewish so expressing a word of sympathy seems to me to be appropriate in the circumstances. I find your use of the expression "crocodile tears" out of place and insensitive.

[quote user="cooperlola"][quote user="pachapapa"] It would appear that as a result of your misleading entreaties to not to bother to install the "optional updates" offered by Microsoft that easily influenced persons with no conception of the risks and dangers involved are in fact and practice interpreting the situation such that they believe that the microsoft security updates are almost certain to do serious damage to their PCs. [/quote]How patronising it is possible for you to be? Sorry, mods - feel free to delete this post if you wish.  I do my best, every day, to stick to the forum etiquette and avoid personal insult, but really!  Grrr.  Let us each, as individuals, weigh the various merits of your, AnO, and others' posts and make our own judgements.  For myself, I at least know what he means whereas I don't have a clue what you're talking about around 70% of the time[:-))].  If we are easily swayed ignorami, that is our tough luck.  No need to be so *ffing insulting, C3PO.  Sorry, I forgot, you just can't help it. [/quote] I am sorry that you find that patronising but the truth of the matter is that Microsoft expend time and resources on a continuous basis to make sure that their various Operating Systems are free from defects; on a monthly basis they provide FREE to all legitimate users of their systems the Crucial Security Updates to rectify any defects discovered. I am not insulting you or anybody else but simply "evangelising" the true Microsoft recommendations. Cant be helped! A dogmatic belief!

[quote user="Stan Streason"][quote user="pachapapa"] There was a storm with wind and flooding, before the two weeks of snow and sub zero temperatures. It sounds like there has been differential subsidence of your complete foundation slab putting your aerial out of alignment.[:P] [/quote] Goodness this sounds really serious.  May I have to have the whole house underpinned?  We do live on a slight hill and I would hate to think of the whole house slipping away.  I wonder if my insurance will cover this. Alternatively I could just pick the aerial up off the shelf and move around a bit. I think this may be the cheaper option but I will certainly bear your thought in mind should that not work. [/quote] That might work for an analogue transmission but unlikely to work for a horizontally polarised numerique TNT transmission. Go on get outside and fit a proper aerial, a special one from Dixons for digital TV, as a bonus you can check the float on your house at the same time.[:)]

Microsoft Security Essentials to that as it certainly let you down last time, Windows updates and all ! Not true, MSSE flagged the incursion and requested validation to clear. I chose to ignore and continue exploring the UKash scam. I do this fairly frequently, the serious lack of the Java update was an error and oversight on my part, The netbook has nothing on it other than a few pertinent forum web pages. I have only ONCE in the three years that I have had the netbook had to resort to a full system restore. As to the netbook I am running a MSSE Beta, so there may be some rough edges still for MST to resolve. Nevertheless I adopt the same policy with a definition update EACH time the unit is started, followed by a quickscan. Over the years I have used all the free AVs with varying satisfaction. But my principle quarrel with you is not my own particular computing eccentricities. I can distinguish and evaluate your own particular eccentricities but " other mortals" may not be so fortunate. It would appear that as a result of your misleading entreaties to not to bother to install the "optional updates" offered by Microsoft that easily influenced persons with no conception of the risks and dangers involved are in fact and practice interpreting the situation such that they believe that the microsoft security updates are almost certain to do serious damage to their PCs. Apparently you eventually update with an SP, a mistaken foolish policy in my opinion, but as mentioned above your eccentricities are your own volition. However with little doubt the SP will be regarded equally by your faithful acolytes as just another MST optional update and not installed. I in fact install the MST security update every month on "update tuesday" in the early evening by accessing directly the Microsoft France website. Of course you dont do the monthly update so you will in all probability be unaware that on every Windows PC since the XP, there is an MRT.exe file which contains, unknown to most users, all the most important Antimalware definitions and code for their elimination. This MRT.exe file is updated each month, during the install the updated definitions are used to do a quick scan of the PC before the install continues to completion. The PC will send back to Microsoft notification of any Malware found. Anybody who neglects to keep up to date with the SECURITY UPDATES provided monthly, sometimes more frequently, is placing their PC in danger and looking for Trouble with a capital T.
