    Upgrading a 4.5 Year Old System

    Hi People Thanks for your replies. I'm upgrading due to my current system not working. Having come back from holiday a few moths ago, I switched on my PC and smelt a burning smell from the PSU. The computer did not start - no fans spinning, no beeps, nothing. I thought the PSU was...

    Getting married in less than 6 hours !

    Good luck mate. I had my civil marriage yesterday in a Radisson Edwardian hotel. Was fantastic and the best day of my life. We managed to combine Indian and English themes well - we had a string quartet playing bollywood songs and her dress was a full on white number with Indian embroidery. We...

    Any Engineers here? (Not Plumbers/Mechanics/Fat people in overalls)

    I'm a Mechanical Engineer. I worked in Building Services which was fast-paced, but technically boring. There were never any technological advancements between projects and no-one ever strived to make things better. I switched industries three years ago to work within the Defence sector...

    Australia vs India

    From this article http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/7174122.stm "Match referee Mike Procter said he was satisfied Harbhajan had used the word - though neither of the two umpires heard the remarks - and that "he meant it to offend on the basis of Symonds' race or ethnic origin"." So...

    Australia vs India

    I was under the impression that neither umpire heard any racist comment from Harbhajan - i.e. just because Ponting said so, it must be true. Ponting is a right little scumbag and I hate his guts - who does he think he is giving a batsman out? - the cheating, disrespectful little ****...

    Australia vs India

    It's the same guy burning effigies over and over again. Quite surprised that the Aussie public do not think highly of Ponting and the Aussie team's behaviour.

    Australia vs India

    People need to remember the comments are allegations - not yet proven. That's why India should feel hard done by - Harbhajan has been punished without impartial evidence (that the public have been made aware of). The umpires are making themselves look stupid by twice making decisions based...

    CV help (sorry!)

    CV Advice You spelt "Interests" wrong and NFL isn't a sport - minor things I know, but may get picked up by HR people. Also, what's the title of your degree course? If you're proficient in all MS Office packages, why do you need to list them? "Black belt in karate" is neither an interest nor...

    STD tests.

    This would only be done if the GU doctor thinks you might have syphillis. Other tests (urine, blood, visual) check for the presence of other diseases (HIV, gonorrhea, chlymidia etc.) I've heard of prostitues getting facial herpes from their clients, but I suppose it makes sense - the herpes...

    STD tests.

    The thing the nurse sticks up the hole is like a cotton bud, but without the cotton - i.e. a long, thin wooden stick. The front face of the stick isn't chamfered or rounded either so you can feel the sharp circumferential edge! It can't be lubricated because it will mess with the results...

    Do customs search coaches?

    When I crossed the border on a coach, everyone on board was asked to wave their passport in the air (i.e. unopened), while the customs guy came round to check we all had one (i.e. no checking that the passport photo matched the face). No dogs, no searches, nothing. So if I had wanted to, I'm...

    Where to live in Reading?

    @ Kingy What sort of work will you be doing at Aldermaston? Have you thought about Basingstoke? Woodley is a nice place in Reading (M4 J10)

    Corporate buzz words

    'Brainstorm' is not a politically correct term as it might offend mental people because they have, er, storms inside their brain! 'Mindshower' is an accepted alternative.

    emmigrating after uni

    I think you'd have little chance of working in the US straight after uni. What could you possibly bring to a US company that a US graduate couldn't? Most UK engineers who go out there have gained experience in the UK first and thus have some skills and expertise that is lacking within the US...
