    What's your job?

    BI Developer I have spent the last few months building EDI (electronic data interchange) capabilities for a number of different purchasing partners we receive business from. I also build upon our data warehouse and manage our database systems. Pros: 1. I'm left to create my own work schedule...

    Car choice help! 8k budget

    Was in a similar position last week whilst looking at a car within an 8k budget for similar reasons. The following were all within budget and easily superior in terms of comfort and drivability than similarly priced Skodas, Fords, VW's etc Jaguar XF 3.0 Mercedes E-Class Mercedes S-Class (picked...

    bank account that staff can only view total

    Pretty sure most maintsteam business bank accounts provide integration services for accounting software such as sage to achieve this? The company I worked for had a nightly export from Sage for our various bank accounts which was then consumed by our customer service software and client portals...

    Bought RTX 2060 super. Noticed I had to upgrade to WIN 10....Oh boy

    Sounds like you're presented with the lock screen for windows 10. Perhaps a really daft question on my part, but have you verified your keyboard is connected (caps lock light, num lock light etc) before then typing on your keyboard once presented with the wallpaper? You could also try usb2 ports...

    SQL Server Help - New Server

    There is some sound advice above, but one thing I've not yet seen suggested is for you to set the database to 2008 compatibility mode. There are changes to various parts of the storage and relational engines between 2008 and later (more so 2016+) SQL Server releases which can affect the...

    Does your employer cheap out on your development box?

    Yes and no. I've a triple monitor setup consisting of 1x 27" dell and 2x 24" dell, which are fabulous to work with. But then the machine itself contains a heapy cheapy i3, 8GB ram and a 500GB mechanical disk which dies a painful death at even the slightest whiff of Visual Studio, SQL data tools...

    What's your work IT equipment like?

    i3 3320, 8GB RAM, 500GB 5400 disc pulled out from a back room, 2x 24" monitors and one 27" monitor. Performance is as poor as you can probably imagine, and made even worse as I spend all day working with big data. Granted the majority of data crunching is done on a virtual server with ample...

    SQL Book

    As previously noted, learning to write SQL is simple enough. You can use online resources such as W3Schools, youtube or MS virtual academy if you're simply looking to get a grounding for working with SQL. Do you have put much thought into which implementation of SQL you wish to learn about...

    Windows.old - can't delete?

    As mentioned by bledd, you should be able to fire up disk cleanup and remove the old windows files. Once disk cleanup initialises on screen, there should be a system related button which will then rescan the disk and add the old windows installation files to the list as options to remove.

    Would you stay in a job you strongly dislike for the money?

    I recently left my previous role of 6 years, of which the last 3 were absolutely soul destroying for quite a number of us for a variety of reasons. The role itself was great on paper to be honest. My circle of influence was huge and had full control over my own workload, as well as the teams...

    Aprilia 1100 V4 Tuono opinions please

    From experience of having owned a mk2 1000 Tuono from new, V4 1100 factory from new and having another V4 1000 from new in the household, all doing 6000+ miles p.a: 1. Aprilias are incredibly unreliable compared to Jap bikes. Aprilias of yesteryear certainly had their reliability issues, but no...

    Thinking of getting a bike, total noob and looking for advice...

    Without trying to put you off, if you've only a budget of a grand, you're going to have to make some serious compromises either in your personal safety, or the quality of the bike. As TallPaul mentioned, the running costs of a 125 really is pennies, but the initial outlay for any new biker, is...

    New tyre time...suggestions?

    I put 4000 miles on a pair of Pilot Road 4 through all weather riding (including snow) and could not fault them in the least. I'd expect someone to get 6000 odd miles out of a pair on a Fazer 600. I did however change bike so cannot offer a direct comparison, but swapped over to a pair of Dunlop...

    Aprilia owners (winners) in here

    A snap of my pride and joy on day 1 of my two week (4000 mile) tour of France through Spain back in August this year. It was absolutely the perfect machine to attack the Spanish mountain roads. And one of the departed Tuono R prior to the 1100

    spec me a processor cooler ~£35

    I would have to recommend the Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus within that price range (not that I'm biased of course ;)). I spent many hours looking through reviews and they all seemed to point in this direction. It can also be had for £15 new off the net.

    i5 760 Overclock Advice

    I'm rather new to the overclocking scene so thought I would take on a small overclock and ask for advice before I go diving right into the deep end and end up murdering my components. I have read through a number of overclocking guides from here and other sites and have managed to achieve...
