[quote user="HoneySuckleDreams"] I think PPP is really Mr Logic from Viz   Be careful about AVG. I thought it was OK until my PC got fried. Pet geek managed to recover the data but a nasty trojan had embedded itself in the AVG executable. AVG didn't manage to find that it had been infected it'self, God only knows what it was up to. [/quote] Does Mr Logik also use a thesorus? Agree with you on AVG Free, it is weak on heuristics, in my opinion after MSE the german Avira is the best of the free AVs.

[quote user="Quillan"]Well lets face it normally it is your good self that kicks the ball off then interject with the odd comment carefully worked out to antagonise somebody. My guess is you just like to go fishing and see who bites. That coupled with your extensive use of a thesaurus makes it all a bit of a shame really because you do have some good posts from time to time, The problem is that a lot of people just skim over them to the next post because your are so boring and some can't work out what on earth your talking about. As to "hot air" in this case I think there is only two people in this thread who disagree (some like myself are just not bothered) with you but then that's their right and they don't deserve to be ridiculed just because they do. [:)][/quote] Thankyou for your kind words of sympathy on me having been ridiculed on another forum. Long live Microsoft Security Essentials!

I read that Cameron successfully completed his solo submersible dive to the depths of the Mariana trench in the Pacific yesterday. The dive complete with full 3D cameras, so there should be a good exclusive documentary available later in the year. The 3D version of Titanic will be released this spring, another gem to look forward to..

Appears from thread that Channel 4 do not offer 3D but only HD, so now rush to install an LNB. Curious is their HD transmission in Full HD or just the lower HD resolution.

[quote user="AnOther"]Have you considered that it's just that MSE (and some sycophantic disciples [:)]) feels the need to shout from the roof tops that it has protected you from ABC or XYZ whilst other products just get on with the job quietly and unobtrusively in the background ? FWIW I have just done a search on 'best free anti virus 2012' and out of the half dozen reviews I looked at at random AVG FREE beat MSE in every one and whilst we all know that each such review comes up with different results and that what is so on one day can change the next I only report this to emphasise that claiming one AV/Security programme is de-facto better than another is both futile and pointless. It's akin to claiming that one ISP is better than another or that say a BMW is better than a VW. It's silly in other words. Salty Sam has it summed up perfectly and as long as you use something and keep it up to date then that will protect 99% of users from 99% of nasties. When a programme comes along which GUARANTEES me 100% protection from 100% of current AND future nasties I will happily put my hand in my pocket and buy it but I suspect my money is quite safe for the foreseeable future [;-)] [/quote] I note that the definition count has increased overnight from 1.123.340.0 to 1.123.372.0. A whole extra THIRTY-TWO nasties that MSE is protecting the PCs from... Once upon a time on GreenLand I was ridiculed for extolling the virtues of MSE; I am amused to note that the very mention of MSE can still generate such hot air.[:D]

[quote user="Quillan"] [quote user="AnOther"]All good stuff but you didn't answer my question which was 'where does your €192 actually come from', I don't understand ? [/quote] I got it from Danny's post, I assume it is right because I don't have a second line so I wouldn't know. [quote user="Danny"]..... The current line rental is 192 euros a year....... Danny [/quote] [/quote] € 16 per month, debited bi-monthly. Mine is payed for me by Alice, allowing me to plan contingently for a discretional expenditure on 4 X UPSs per year.[:D]

I haven't got an LNB set up for Channel 4. So I'll just have to make do with Blu Ray 3D double layer 50 Gigabyte disc instead. The Three Musketeers is rather fun as well.

If PC is off then UPS is also off with Sagem on 230 v power. If power outage while PC on then UPS used to close down PC. Any calls for VOIP will be held by Alice Message if Sagem inactive. When I wish to phone then I connect Sagem and one DECT phone to UPS. After making call or picking up any messages I diconnect phone and Sagem to conserve power in UPS. If low charge on UPS I connect the 12 v Power Station to the UPS through a 12 v - 230 v inverter. Cheaper than a € 12 X 16 annual line charge.    The DECT phone connects with an RJ11 plug with two wires.[:)]

[quote user="Salty Sam"][quote user="AnOther"]I'm happy for my FREE AV to take care of such things, they have never let me down yet [;-)] [/quote] I agree AnO! Out of interest, I've noted my version of MS Security Essentials - like other AV programs, updates automatically and I see the latest update occurred today at 11:37 hrs and is now running version 1.123.340.0. The last check for new definitions was at 17:52 hrs. Am I bothered? Only in as much as knowing the AV package is doing the job and taking care of things without any intervention from myself. I'm certainly not bothered as to which version is running, as long as it is the most current![:)] [/quote] Got the same definition as well. I know it's good, it catches CVEs so quickly, it's almost magical.

The use of an RJ11 cable connection is not in france the only way to connect a telephone, UK or other sovereign source, to a modem-router-server. DECT telephones are common and widely available at reasonable prices, normally their use depends on a Base DECT station connected to an RJ11 phone socket and then accompanied by additional DECT phones with recharge cradles scattered around the house; each additional unit is "registered" with the Base DECT station. The FreeBox Revolution has a DECT Base station integrated to the server, making the use of a conventional DECT Base station unnecessary. The DECT supplementary units are simply registered directly to the FreeBox Revolution server. A maximum total of up to 8 units can be regiistered with the server. Of course no RJ11 cable is involved. I am dubious however whether the usual technically outmoded LiveBox woud have such an onboard function.[6] 

I have an Einhell Power Station 3500, a bit like the one in the link below but more powerful and without a compressor or inverter. Most useful in winter for a boost to a lazy battery. http://www.rueducommerce.fr/m/ps/mpid:MP-FAC88M6583806#moid:MO-FAC88M10194420

Previous impolite exchanges dealt with POTS telephones being connected to french "gigogne" sockets and the connection to the contacts Nos 1 and 3, coloured grey and white. This time an extra variable, namely an ADSL french router-modem. I have never had any problem with phones and RJ11s but I am very interested to know why some UK phones dont work in france.[8-)] OT Curious can DECT phones  be associated directly to a Livebox without an RJ11 connection involved; similar to a FreeBox Revolution.

Some phones in UK have four wires connecting to the RJ11 plug, wont work. Other phones have two wires red and green on middle pins, will work. If your house is recently wired it may have multi use RJ45 connections in accordance with NF C 15-100. Hope your winging cable has two wires.[:P]

Sorry I cant help the picture of provence registers for about 3 milli-seconds before it is obscured by the forum background.  

[quote user="AnOther"]I'm sure we are all very happy for you but your point is ? [/quote] The point is directed towards Windows users who keep their security protection updated on a regular basis, as in the second tuesday of each month. The particular Exploit is relatively new with initial Microsoft Security Essentials protection provided on the 14th march 2012; note link: http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=Exploit%3AJava%2FCVE-2011-3544.CF perusal of the link shows that little is known about the characteristics, although an update to the protection was made on the 20th march 2012. The information was ,of course, not really directed at your good self as you apparently do not do regular security updates but sometimes download an odd SP now and again. Although the info does not concern you, I am grateful for your interest in the reasons for the posting.

[quote user="master of none"]Glad you found it useful pachapapa![/quote] I love this piccy: [IMG]http://www.broxbourne.gov.uk/images/drilling_v_Variation_1.jpg[/IMG] There may in fact be a plausible argument for the 0.25-0.4 distance from the buttress for an encastré RSJ when there will theoretically be a point of inflexion in the neutral axis at approximately 1/3 of the half span from each end of the beam. However this will in no way reflect the situation with a simple uniformly loaded timber beam supported by a traditional stone, lime and rubble wall. The wall will accomodate the deflection of the beam at both ends resulting in a beam with no inflexion points on the neutral axis and simply an upper portion in compression and a lower portion below the neutral axis being in tension. In principle wood is stronger in compression than in tension and accordingly any hole drilled through the beam should be in the upper portion and certainly not nearer than 3x the hole diameter from the top of the beam.[:P]

Any Centre d'Imagerie will do it privately, takes 10-15 minutes for the "piccie" to dry.  Cost in the region of € 120. Although I got mine done for under € 30. Here is one in a nice area. http://www.generale-de-sante.fr/clinique-du-golfe-de-saint-tropez-gassin/Nos-poles-d-activites/Le-centre-d-imagerie

A couple of days ago the site display was titivated, at moment on netbook with IE8. But no problems wiyh the new format.

Even with the diagrams it seems daft. It must have been written by a jobsworth with a peaked  hat and a yellow band round it, whilst on light duties after inadvertently stubbing his toe on a parking meter. http://www.broxbourne.gov.uk/environment_and_planning/building_control/notching_of_joists.aspx

A recent judgment by the Cour de Cassation was very strict on the veracity of evidence and the possibility of virtual files being corrupted. The case related to a Constat by a Huissier with the evidence being queried by the opposing party. In essence the material must be held on an incorruptible medium, read CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, etc; once burnt then it cannot be changed. There are Huissiers that provide this specialiseed service at around € 200 per shot. Notaires are also obviously concerned with the Cassation Judgment.

[quote user="Racerbear02"]I agree with most people, bin the lavender fields, allow the working part of the page to expand to full screen, not a major problem on a big monitor, but a total waste of real estate on a small one. [/quote] The post two up concerns a 10" Netbook, hardly widescreen cinemascope. I am now perfectly content with it. As for lavender fields on a netbook, the fields are 3 milimetres wide on each side and could easily be mistaken for a vertical scroll bar. Surfing, posting, etc, without changing compatability setting. Have a stiff coffee and wake up to the change in virtual reality in the last 12 hours. GO ON! GIVE IT A TRY! Do you know how to activate the button?
