Re: Are the Tories finished before they start?

But I expect them to lay down clear, black and white rules and boundaries for us to live by (as opposed to Labour's woolly 'guidelines'). Labour prefers to spend all it's time telling us what we can't do, whereas I think the Conservatives will tell us what we should do if we want to be successful i...

Re: TV Forum Watch News and Information Board

The "BBC Bristol? in the style of BBC London?" mock may not have been that good, but I think it's a little harsh of the TVF mods to move it to the now archived Mock Designs forum rather than The Gallery... There are lots of worse mocks which could do with being swept under the carpet.

Re: Question for programmers - how does 'trial' software wor

A good way to detect clock changes is to record when the software is launched, as well as when installed. As obviously time can't go backwards, subsequent launches of the software must be after the last time it was run. A simple way of storing such data is to encrypt it, or use a hashing function, a...
