All, Thank you for the advice, much appreciated. There are too many people to reply to individually but I appreciate all the advice. I think the existing responses have probably covered the intended uses of the machine but I didn't want to ignore people asking so to answer the question: I...

I am planning to replace a PC and would appreciate advice, guidance, suggestions e.t.c. on a specification for the new machine. The current PC, bought around 12 years ago, has the following specification: CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 630 2.80GHZ processor Memory: 6GB Graphics card: NVidia Geforce 310...

Firstly thank you for your comments about the intention of my post. I was a bit wary of how it might sound. With the regards to the systemic way - I don't know enough about that to comment. Other than that I agree with your comment. I agree male violence towards women needs it's own separate...

Hopefully I've phrased this carefully enough that it doesn't sound biased or thoughtless. Also my comments are general comments, not specifically aimed as a reply to any particular post. My examples are more about intimidation than violence but my general point is aimed at both. My thoughts...

I haven't listened to the latest one yet but my general overview is that I like the podcasts. The following is intended to help, not criticise: I think, in general, the sound level balance, between voice and music, has improved since the first episode. I use this rss feed...

I think the subway at Warwick might be a public right of way?

Not creating new videos because it is taking too much time is, of course, understandable. Having to stop because people can't be sensible is really annoying. A real shame as they are really good especially with the on screen comments.

Why the need to ensure the train is at a stand for PA announcements? Would the driver hear the announcement on the GSM-R handset, and potentially be distracted, or be unable to use it for other calls? The thinking behind my question is that the guard will make PA announcements while the train...

I don't know for certain but I think that's for motorway incidents. I think, but again I'm not sure, it's because people often give the wrong direction.

Just to add to what others have said - the site is using a database and it has a limit on the number of connections that can be used at the same time. My knowledge is more on the database side than the web side but I've had some involvement with web/database configurations. The two options I can...

Some sites do use this method but I would expect that they would have informed you about this. It is a method used for legitimate reasons but if they haven't informed you then I would suggest checking with the company to see if they have made any changes. Normally sites will give some prior...

I thought the station based revenue staff member (RPI?) spoke particularly well about the issue of fatalities. That's not to say others spoke badly.

Sorry I wasn't clear in my original comment. By "Whichever company was responsible for alternative transport" I was referring to the TOC/Network rail (clarified by subsequent posts to be the TOC), who organised it, rather than the operator of the buses or coaches. As others have said the bus or...

This was my view as well. Whichever company was responsible for alternative transport was at fault but equally some of the public were ridiculous.

I agree with StarCrossing. As some general advice to all: If you using speakers, rather than a headset, then be aware of the microphone picking up the sound from the speakers. You create an echo for the other people in the conversation and all they can hear is the echo. Easily fixed by...
