Neither has mine. It broke about 6 times. But still better than an iPhone.

Will be in around 2 months when my current contract ends. It is a brand new phone. I will be in touch closer to the time. Caleb bought my last 2 if i remember rightly.

What the hell, man? Who am i going to flog this n95 to, now?! I'd go for a sony over a samsung any day of the week, just my 2p. Although avoid the touchscreen one as someones said, they break very easily.

This means your computer is working on folding a protien. 5 million steps later it will have finished, and will upload the results to stanford university. Then you've made a small contribution to possibly finding a cure for cancer! Congrats!

Folding at home FAQ There's a youtube vid so you don't even have to read!

If it did, I wouldn't do it. It uses the very lowest processor priority, meaning everything else gets priority. It uses a small amount of ram, which is unlikely to lead to any further paging on a modern system. What you experience is the placebo effect.

Cancer kills a metric f**k load of people even second, and if you wanna help find a cure, download the folding at home software. You wont even know it's running, but in doing so you ARE contributing. You will be asked to enter a name (prolly use same as your trials forum user name so people know who you are) and a team number. Trials forum is 42023. You'll then show up on the rankings for our team. Can you get to the top of the table, number 1, with your f**king fast new computers?! You've got a fair way to go to beat nmt_oli!

I'm a trainee chartered accountant (2nd year of a three year training contract, ICAEW). I've never been to university but have good a-level results. The firm I work for sets on non-graduates regularly, around 1 a year, supplemental to the graduate intake of around 3 a year. This is typical for a small practice like the one I work in, at around 50 or so people. There is a place for non-graduates in practice (I am the case study!) but the route is not an easy one. You start at the very bottom of the hierachy and prior experience means not a lot (further important point below*). You will most likely be offered block or day release to college to study the AAT qualification which is a NVQ in accounting (and therefore paid for by the govornment, by the LEA as an apprenticeship), done over 2 or 3 years. Providing you pass all of these first time (they're pretty easy to be honest) you will likely be offered a Chartered or Chartered-Certified training contract with one of the Institutes, depending on which your firm prefers, working towards your chartered qualification. Graduates skip the AAT and go straight into a Chartered training contract. You will start the Chartered training at the same time or before a graduate, without the debt burden, and with 3 years (extremely valuable) experience. The chartered exams are hard enough as it is believe me, so not having to pick up how to do the actual job at the same time is a load off your mind. Money. Outside of London you will get paid £8-12k when you start AAT, increasing to about £12-16 by the end. If you are given a Chartered training contract this will pay around £14-18k to start with, increasing steadily to about £22-26k by the end. Once fully qualified, you will most likely find yourself tied into a contract with your employer at a salary between £30-34k for 1-2 years. For London you can add 50%, literally. In summary, it's good money once you qualify, but up to then, not great. *As I said earlier, prior learning means not a lot once you're in, however grades will get you the job. Just under 2 years ago we took on a GCSE student with pretty good grades and let him start the AAT training. But he was only 16, and as his senior I felt almost embarrassed sometimes taking him to see clients because he was sooo immature! He got the sack after ~6 months. My point is:- prior learning counts for little, so start as early as you can, after GCSEs if you like, but make sure you're mature enough for a proper professional environment, or you wont be around long! Starting at 16, it's entirely feasable to be fully qualified and earning £30k+ by the time you're 21. That is no mean feat. Let me know if you want to know any more! If not, good luck!!! Edited to add: to look for jobs you can send your CV off to the big recruitment agents, although i'm not sure how much interest they will have in you with no background yet. These are Sewell Moorhouse, Hayes, and a couple of others whos name escape me. But the way I got my job was to look in the papers and search through websites of firms, most of them have a careers page. Applied for a few and ended up going with one I saw advertised in the paper.

Sorry mate just following on from Dr Nick and having you on. You need to speak to AOL about this problem most likely.

Another way around most HEPs is to create a faraday cage around the computer for some reason. Even though this is a completely different branch of science related to electromagnetic waves, people who have clad their house or even bedroom walls with sheet metal to a thinkness of around 1.5cm have effectively solved the problem. But it definately sounds like you live in a HEP affected area.

It must have a tiny little hub-like chip in it to control packets from 2 computers going down 1 cable.

Yeah they work ok. Splitter at this end? You can't just split cable. Need a hub.

A quick 10 second google search will tell you that. What i'm saying is that most of the time you need a physical connection to the phone. Said guys have these.

Mostly it requires a physical connection to the phone. Approach an person of ethnic origin selling portable telephones at the marketplace; he'll most likely be able to do it for £5 or £10.

If the subject and the object are connected and affect each other - nobody here, or anywhere, experiences anything like you do, becasue it is your observation that makes the event what it is. You cannot share anything you ever do - or ever have done - with anyone. Your world must be a lonely place.

Dr Nick's original post never intended to start a discussion on this. Read it again. He says that while to you and I the earth appears flat, it is a sphere. This difference between what Dr Nick sees and what is the truth, insightfully makes Dr Nick ask: "what else do I see and believe is so, when actually the truth is completely different?" Kind of like how you might not be aware that there is anything around you, but in actual fact there is 14psi of air pressure squashing you all the time, and without this your blood would boil. Or how you might not think that an aeroplane on a conveyor belt (matching the planes absolute velocity in the opposite diection) would not take off, when in fact it would. Was that a good idea?

How To Get Into Xp When The Password Is Forgotten?
Extreme_biker0 replied to BONGO's topic in Chit Chat
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download Download the ubuntu linux image from there. This is not as scary as it sounds dont worry. You'll probably need the i386 version, so basically go to that page, select your location and press download, change nothing else. Burn the cd to a blank cd. Pop it in the cd drive of the unaccessible computer, and boot from the cd. Select 'try ubuntu without changing my pc' or whatever it says. It will automatically boot up to a very friendly windows-like desktop, and mount all your hard disks for you. So what this means is once it boots up, click 'places' (at the top) and click the disk drive you want to look at. You'll be able to copy any files you want to keep to a usb drive, or if you have a separate cdrw drive to the one that's running the ubuntu disk.. burn them to cd. Good luck. Extreme_somalia0 -
How To Get Into Xp When The Password Is Forgotten?
Extreme_biker0 replied to BONGO's topic in Chit Chat
As i've pointed out before, there's no need to boot to safe mode to access the administrator account:- Boot normally, and when you reach the screen where you select the user you want, press ctrl+alt+del twice, and a box will appear asking for your username and password. In the user name box type 'administrator' without the quotation marks, and leave the password box blank, and hit ok. Just like the safe mode approach though, if a password has been set, then this will not work.
