    The Official OcUK EU Referendum Exit poll (and results discussion thread)

    Because a 'Free Trade Agreement' isn't the same thing as access to the single market. It's the single market that guarantees the 'four freedoms' of goods, capital, services, and people. Given 'people' is one of the fundamental parts, it's not one we're likely to get a pass on, so we either...

    Apple Music and Matching

    That's not quite correct, as I've found out over the last few days of bashing my head against a wall with this. Apple Music matches your music by metadata alone, whereas iTunes Match uses acoustic fingerprinting. This has resulted in most of my live / bootleg albums having their tracks...

    Jules Bianchi thread for updates and discussion

    Ah, that makes more sense! Though I've watched it through - while he tracks Bianchi to a point, it does seem that he misses the impact. I guess it's possible it doesn't rotate that far, or it was too quick.

    Jules Bianchi thread for updates and discussion

    I've looked through a handful of videos on ********, and they're all the same - it's the one filmed by a punter in the stands. He shouts 'Oh my god' and wobbles the camera after impact. Unless you have some other video you'd care to share, I'd believe FIA when they say the FOM cameras missed...

    Japanese Grand Prix 2014, Suzuka - Race 15/19

    If I remember correctly, I'm fairly sure they said that after the edit was broadcast.

    Japanese Grand Prix 2014, Suzuka - Race 15/19

    Did he actually say that on TV? As I don't think that tweet translates as 'operated on' and no one else is reporting that.

    Im British and Dont understand tipping

    So saying 'What I don't want is to be harassed' means 'I want to be harassed'?

    Im British and Dont understand tipping

    What amuses me about this argument - if you actually read what Captain Planet wrote, you'd see he didn't describe good service as 'getting harassed'. It says exactly the opposite!

    Excel 2013 runtime issue

    Have you stepped through it (F8) and work out where the error is? The 'index' that's out of range is trying to get Worksheets(2) - and if you were to go back and look at the new workbook it creates, you'd notice Excel 2013 only creates a single sheet in new workbooks. Older Excel version...

    jeremy clarkson v the mail and mirror

    I think it probably is. Not only does Lee explain the importance of context, it's probably highlighted most by the fact that he uses the N word, un-censored, in this clip. This was broadcast on BBC2 in March/April 2014. The use of the word isn't in and of itself offensive. I wish some of...

    jeremy clarkson v the mail and mirror

    I don't think that - he didn't deny it 'at first', he's still denying it. He denied it, then apologised for mumbling something that might be misconstrued as saying it, then in his column today says "I've always thought I'd be sacked for something I said. Not for something that actually, I...

    Is this money laundering?

    It's gifted to her mother, who will have tax deducted on interest. No problem.

    Product key does not match current Windows SKU

    Note the bottom of that guide has an update that links to the same tool I did above - the manual process isn't necessary.

    Creating an installable in VS2013 Ultimate

    Installshield LE - it's pretty awful. The only alternative is WiX, but the learning curve is near vertical.

    Wills and inheritance tax...

    If the spouse dies and leaves it all to the other, their unused nil-rate band passes to the other (so an effective £650k NRB between them for this tax year)

    Wills and inheritance tax...

    This is absolutely not true. This is better advice.

    Wills and inheritance tax...

    They can give away £3k p.a. with no IHT implications. Also payments that are habitual or out of income pretty much escape it.

    Wills and inheritance tax...

    Get proper advice, but if they 'gift' you the house and continue to live in it, it will almost certainly be classified a 'gift with reservation' and make naff all difference. To have a chance of working, they'd have to pay you market rent to stay there & outlive the 7 years for a potentially...
