            1 and 0 otherwise I'd be doing something interesting (although possibly not as well paid)
            Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

              This made me laugh. Well at least your PC was secure after that. You don't want any of that pesky interwebby stuff messing up your nice clean PC.

                  I spent a couple of hours the first time on the phone with a friend explaining to me that there was something wrong with her PC and she couldn't work out what. Then I remembered that story was all over the web and went around to her house to sort it out. Oddly when she decided she wanted a mac I didn't dissuade her......

                      At the time I made the mistake of trying to use it:

                      No support for SilverLite or WPF or any accepted equivalent so I was not able to play the PluralSite courses I wanted to play but that did not matter because ....

                      Plugging the headphones in did not mute the speaker and muting the speaker also muted the headphones. Hence I could not watch DVDs or listen to music on the train to work. The headphones work fine and so does the socket (I have dual installed Windows since) - it was just Ubuntu.
                      Ubuntu works fine on the current laptop I'm using and on the last one I put it on.

                      Maybe it is just you.
