I would recommend that you find an industry or company that you really want to work for, then just get any job with them and work your way up. Don't just rely on job ads, go out and find those companies you like and try to get a foot in the door. It's your interest, enthusiasm and commitment to the...

If the sheath is nylon (usually is but can also be cotton) it will be damaged by prolonged exposure to sunlight/UV. Some people seem to like a bit of UV lighting in their PC cases... but I doubt many of those people would be suspending their drives?

To argue that they are right merely because of their profession--which is what it appears you are doing--is an Argument from Authority And God help all of us from the number of people who routinely accept that without any forethought or consideration of ulterior motives. Doesn't this describe a lar...

As for what BUPA, NHS etc thinks, Goethe has a quote involving a part of his body where the sun rarely visits. I'm sorry, by health professionals I wasn't explicit enough. I was meaning dietitians, nutritionists etc. I reckon the first thing you said was explicit. Or did you just change your tune w...

Here's an article on an interesting study about acne: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/health/2004009923_webdietacne13.html I've just read that - not very conclusive is it, given that it contains the following: But Johnson also thinks it's too soon to conclusively link acne to diet. Dermatolog...

People don't know this but they have a lot to do with eating habits. A lot of "health professionals" (triple quotations needed) say that diet doesn't affect acne. They are wrong, and it does. I said pimples are correlated to GDP, because in less industrializsed countries it's hardly known. That mea...

I suppose the only way to find out is to buy one or the other and see for oneself. I really wish that I had a sense of how these gigahertz numbers related to performance. For example is a 3 GHz CPU one third faster than a 2 GHz? Any thoughts on recommendations about this upgrade would be appreciate...

These are points well-taken. Although I am not sure that people on this forum are better educated than in a philosophical forum. As to why I am posting on this thread if I don't believe such subjects should be discussed here, it is because I (perhaps foolishly) believed that the OP was serious abou...

As to what to post on what forum; Certainly if you go to a philosophical forum you will get informed opinion but the attraction of the off-topic forum here is that you get a wide range of opinions. SPCR is likely to attract people from around the world, from the left and the right, and from a varie...

Oh dear, does it show a lot that I'm a bloody foreigner ? I didn't know :oops: Your English is excellent but the sentence construction and grammar gives you away. You also linked to some German websites recently... My German is pretty limited "vier bier bitte" because like most Brits, I didn't both...

OT posts are presumed to have something to do with computers Why? Because most of us have a real life outside this forum. It is not a closed world. I don't see what you're getting at here - does having a real life outside this forum somehow preclude posting about religion in the off-topic forum? I ...

I have friends who are Christian, Moslem, Pagan and Athiest, as well as a few "don't knows". I've had a few discussions with some of them about their beliefs and what they have in common is a conviction that there has to be a reason for our existence, some higher pupose, but none of them seem to be...

Anyone have any thoughts on the Antec CP-850 power supply? I realize it is horribly overkill for this system, but given I'm using the P183, and so far as I can tell a non-proprietary/replaceable fan, I wonder if I might be a better/alternate choice. In the UK they cost about the same - given the re...

With that case it seems a shame not to use this power supply.
I'm only suggesting it because I think that PSU is a great idea and it's good value.
Maybe you've already got the Seasonic.

OT posts are presumed to have something to do with computers Why? " Our "pub" where you can post about things completely Off Topic or about non-silent PC issues. " suggests to me that discussion of non-computing issues is perfectly acceptable. However it does get a bit tedious when the same old pol...

Fan controllers can be removed and replaced with optical drive.

The way you lot are moaning, anyone would think we're still living in the days of the Industrial revolution when people worked in 'The Dark Satanic Mills' for barely enough pay to feed and clothe themselves, let alone buy computer(s) and flat screen colour HDTV's. Employees have NEVER had it so goo...

I think you are overcomplicating the issue - belief in God is quite straightforward IMHO - you do or you don't. It is not at all linked to or dependent upon believing in "Christian" principals, morals, politics or anything else. It depends on what you mean by God. If you mean something straightforw...

On the other hand let me say it straight, a bottom intake is defective by design. Need I say more than Nexus Breeze? I have had personal experience wit the Breeze and the most problematic part of the whole setup was the bottom intake. It really is very bad design. No matter how good it looks on pap...

Sheer chance really Andy, I remember I only used that list because I couldn't find one specifically for the UK.

Good that you're sorted.

The subscription list I used when setting up ABP was "easylist USA" - that includes both /adwords and /adsense.

Worth a try?

I just tried disabling adblock plus and did the test again - this time the sponsored ads did appear. Have to assume therefore that you need to fiddle with settings in adblock plus or reinstall it. I'm pretty sure I didn't change it when I installed it, just used it as it came.

Can you guys/girls try opening up Internet Exploder, go to www.google.co.uk and search for "adaware". I see 3 "sponsored links", they are adware-2009.com, adwaread-2009.net, then the actual thing I have just searched for. There are more "sponsored links" on the right as well. If you lot dont see th...

What an interesting source. GeoCraft.com seems official enough, but the site doesn't even offer an "about us" for us who wonder who they are. And that article isn't even signed... Any comments should be sent to an email-adress which could belong to Monte Hied, though, but that is all clues we are g...

What is Al Gore marketing? Why should I believe you instead of virtually all the climatologists in the world? From this site: http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/ice_ages.html Nobody is interested in solutions if they don't think there's a problem. Given that starting point, I believe it is appropria...

Law's of physics depend on place they are tsted. Physics can be very different on another solar system, depending on its stars, proximity, moons and so forth. How? Why? I only got as far as 'O' level physics, but my understanding would be that there's still gravity, mass etc. on other solar systems...

Firstly, I think that the statistics here are a bit iffy to say the least, as has already been pointed out by a few posters. However if the supposition is true, perhaps the more conservative types would prefer to get their jollies on the internet rather than risking their marriage and compromising t...

* our planet can sustain 3 billion humans, possibly up to 5 billion via worldwide use of organic micro-agriculture. We all know that the population already exceeds 6 billion, multiplying like rabbits with political "leaders" everywhere always talking about more and more "growth." It is crystal-clea...

"Belief in God" is something hard to use to separate people but that takes you to the definition of what is (a) God and it may be hard to determine whether a person or a statement expresses belief in God. I think you are overcomplicating the issue - belief in God is quite straightforward IMHO - you...

judge56988 - the problem with that is that you would then have to apply that evenly and fairly to everything, including the wiping out of Native Americans by european settlers (both intentionally and unintentionally via disease and alcohol), the various horrible things national armies did everywher...
