Apparently doesn't use all of the same frequencies as EE does, and also doesn't offer 5G. Anecdotally I've had Virgin staff claim that it's definitely, 100% the same as EE in every way, but real world use using both Virgin Mobile (retail) and Virgin Media Business SIMs next to EE SIMs on the...

A white line is pointless, and is for "information only" - it does not have to be observed.... As we found out when we moved into a house about a decade back... There was a white line and a disabled sign painted outside the house used by the previous occupants. Contacted the local council, so...

In fact, probably the best things that you can do are: 1) Use a password manager with strong, random passwords stored unique for each service. 2) Add a unique "code" to the end of each password stored in the password manager, use some system that makes sense to you to try and remember the...

That's been exactly my assessment the past few days. Scary times. :(

I don't think it's as unlikely as people think - there are actually two ways to get an early General Election under the Fixed Term Parliament Act: 1) A motion of no confidence in the government is passed, requiring 50% of MPs to pass it. If a motion of confidence isn't passed within 14 days of...

Totally agree. A better educated, healthier, better socially cared for country with better infrastructure will reap the benefits further down the road. Ultimately that kind of society will be more prosperous, and ironically will cost less proportionally in the long term. Instead we seem to...

Leadsom will get it. Already bookies second fave. She's done the least damage to date, and the thing that slowed her career down was criticising Osborne, which won't do her any harm just now. May may be able to make tough decisions, and that's probably needed, it's only ever good if she makes...

Both the Conservatives and Labour probably do need to split though: both are made up of two clear groups of people that can't or won't compromise. Together they appeal to four completely different groups of voters, who are fed up of being burned by politicians who self-serve. Neither party will...

Indeed. Here's the rub though: people are fed up with "same old, same old" politics and politicians. The media, the Conservatives and the ToryLite Labour politicians all forget that. LibDems almost got it, or appeared to get it, but then got stung by Cameron's manipulations - and actually...

And that right there is the "Great British Swindle". To be considered able to be Prime Minister you have to "look" Prime Ministerial. Forget politics. Forget policies. Forget substance and what you believe in. You have to look Prime Ministerial. What does Prime Ministerial look like? Suave...

Jacob Rees-Mogg is a leech on democracy. He filibusters anything he disagrees with to limit anyone else having a say, and stop votes being able to take place.

Nope, not purchased on sale prices. As I say it's also not just OCUK either.

Immigration was blatantly the main concern of most leave voters. That's not to say that those with concerns are racist, or that I agree with those concerns - but a lot of people, and a very high number of leave voters, do have those concerns. The problem is that politicians have been very quick...

So I bought myself the components to build my new rig last week. I bought everything apart from the CPU that wasn't in stock from OCUK.... Fast forward 9 days, and 6 after the referendum result. For giggles I went and priced up the components again: 7.5% increase overall. Even the CPU sourced...

Looks like the stock system isn't live, and according to sales is 15 minutes behind. Disappointing. :(

Thanks stulid - appreciate the further feedback. It is gaming, but it's also virtualisation. I will need W10 Pro for this and I will need to create several VMs replicating a multi-site setup to create multiple Active Directory forests along with a hybrid cloud environment. The virtual...

Thanks for the feedback stulid & lee32uk. The only reason I considered an OCUK build is to save me time and effort, but that really is neither here or there. More than happy to build, and makes sense to do so. Bit more info: I'm a techie. I need W10 Pro over home for three reasons: 1)...

Hi all, So I need a PC, the driving excuse/reason being to allow virtualisation to get myself through various industry certs, the residual benefit being a return to PC gaming. I spent from '97 through to '09 building my own PCs (and everyone else's!), gaming, etc. I've had most consoles over...

From a being attacked from the Internet perspective, you can reduce the chances of this happening by: - Have at least a half decent (not cheapest) router in the first place. - Use NAT (will be doing so if IPv4 anyway). - Have a SPI firewall on your router, and enabled. - Having DOS / brute...

Put the C8 in the DMZ, this will allow all traffic to it. Using a reservation for the MAC address of the WAN port of the C8 means that it will always get that IP address and therefore remain in the DMZ (rather than the Sky router's DHCP server deciding to give it a different IP address, say...
