hahahha that looks ace. I'd do it myself but my relationship would be in trouble.

I think I've distilled the reason why I needed to learn VBA over the common features of excel - static storage of variables. Yes there's a hell of a lot of overlap- but VBA can REMEMBER - excel can't - if you think it can, change a paramater leading into the formula and behold the formula also...

sounds an amazing setup, I do stuff like this for fun as I love the challenges and problem solving it brings. I only have three but across two PC's, but sometimes when I look up from those three screens to the space above I find myself thinking "I can do that again" - then reality costing and...

And the analogies flow so I'll try one - cloud computing is like trading! you buy your 'receiver' which I'll call the new 'pc's' off the line that do this and hook up to this thing, you hope or bank on it doing what you want to do, even improving what you want to do....but that mightn't be so...

It's all about the transfer of control from you to the cloud, which goes a long way to explain why apple love it so much. If apple could take control of the air you breathe, they surely would. We're being sold a dis-jointed array of technologies, SATA 3, before most things can even get to...

sorry cannot STAND apple, they're a greedy and dangerous monopoly, i this i bloody that, - I bet in 2 or 3 years time I won't be able to fart without it being an i fart, and good grief, so help me if I don't clear it with jobs first, as he owns the patent, as well as the right for me to live and...

my solution - one machine online, one machine off line, one can talk to the other, but the net can't talk to the designated off one, which is easy enough to do without hardware cascading or all that crap by just removing the subnet mask thus no vulnerability frozen in a predetermined state of my...

I build my own, far more control over the process and not at all difficult i.e. if you were any good at lego this isn't much different. It's hardly a masterclass in electronics, these things are done before they're even out of the box- The real art is in the shopping list, good decisions on...

depends if you want a PC or a terminal doesn't it? PC stands for personal computer, if the only thing one of these new notebook style thingies can do is understand HTML from a remote source, then it should be renamed "personal browser " or something, I'm sure better names than that have already...

for the speadfreaks out there RAID and RAM disks overcome the I/O bottleneck, and never transfer files wireless, that'd be stupid, major bottleneck compared to wired. I'd go one further and say never go wireless in general, who knows what dodgy fella's sat outside your house with his laptop. If...

http://sourceforge.net/projects/synergy2/ I cannot believe this hasn't been mentioned - I use it on my setup, it's seamless, I hear it isn't bad through wireless too, though for security my network is wired it's all you need.

I believe you as I'm young but not that young and I cut my teeth programming the BBC Micro/ Master and what fantastic machines they were. You didn't need to specialist those days you could learn a whole machine inside out, golden age of computing in my opinion, and not without merit either-...

mobile broadband, - internet pass through - the top handsets should all do it fine through USB Then that's truly independent two connections, apart from of course, electric, which if it goes it zaps your PC whether its hooked to phone line or mobile...... So for that, always on PC backup...

I appreciate that I am unable to slag off Apple without also applying vitriol in equal measures to microsoft, I also appreciate that linux is open source. That said: #1 you can put together a PC and choose Windows Linux or both #2 Linux is only good if you put the time in to learn it, people...

its where your PC just interacts with a bigger PC somewhere out there that does all the crunching/gameplay etc you need And I for one am not a fan. Apple plug this endlessly with their arrogance and making of assumptions. But take for example you write a letter, it's no longer stored on your...
