Re: English Degree

Although I am particularly interested in Journalism, would it be worth undertaking an journalistic degree or just an English one? Like Dr Lobster says, I would recommend the English course because it's more flexible. If you want to go into Journalism though, I'd recommend making sure (if/when) you ...

Re: Long forgotten brands that sank without trace

Kwik Save used to of course have "LiquorSave" as a seperate store within a store selling alcohol. I remember the local Kwik Save having a LiquorSave logo on the side until it turned into a Somerfield in 2004. I didn't remember it being a separate section, although when I think about it, I...

Even Apple seem to have finally got it with the desktop version of safari having a unified url/search bar. Shame they haven't got around to carrying it over to the iPad yet.
You can search from the URL bar, you know.

Asa has ruled David's signature has been removed for being "Misleading". I would imagine the signature must not appear again in its current form.

Re: The Simpsons

As an aside, I'm sure someone told me that the abortion episode of Family Guy was banned in America and (obviously) shown here, despite the fact we always show the edited versions.

Re: Randomly Locking Up

What was the problem? How did you fix it? We're all dying to know! Hear hear. Exactly what I was thinking. I ran memtest, chkdsk and also tested the PSU as suggested. I also refitted the CPU fan and also the memory chip, making sure that all the connections to the hard drive were tight. Seems to ha...

Re: Randomly Locking Up

I had this problem on my computer when I built it. It turned out the hard drive I'd bought wasn't working - replacing it worked a dream. (It was originally a Seagate, and I replaced it with a WD)

To check if its the hard drive, listen for unusual clicking.
