not exactly sure where you are getting your information from but its not accurate.. if someone breaks into your house in the UK, then they are breaking the law and can be prosecuted.

Google open sources VP8 video codec [modified]This could change everything, or nothing at all? Is it a two-fingered salute to MS and Apple who currently control the closed H.264 standard? It'll be interesting to see how slowly it takes MS/Apple to build this new codec into their products, as they currently make a c**p load of $$$ out of licencing fees for H.264 Posted on the register: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/05/19/google_chrome_announcement/[^] james

How do I reach a second web site on my local machine?If I add those two lines to my hosts file, and do 'ping umbraco' from the command-prompt, I get this: Pinging umbraco [127.0.0.1] with 32 bytes of data Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128 you should get the same, which indicates that the hosts-file modification is working as expected - in other words, DNS is happening as you want it to. If your browser is then going off to an external site, then this may be a problem with your webserver setup? sorry not got any more ideas that would help. I'd run wireshark next to see what's happening, but chances are someone else here will spot the problem

good isp/adsl providers in uk?Hey all, I'm moving house this month and subsequently need a new adsl service. I'm with pipex at the moment, however they won't let me keep my email address if I move home (bizarre but true). So I thought i may as well look elsewhere - any recommendations from anyone? I have an Orange mobile package and can get cheap internet on top of that... but fear their internet service could be pretty bad judging from some reviews. Any good review sites out there? thx

nice, but a pity it doesn't work well with multiple monitor setups though.

Writing a CVIt's been years since I wrote a CV, what's the common consensus among people here? Strictly 2 pages? Do I need a 'Key Skills' summary section or can I drop in key technologies here and there? thx james

Subversion working practises.Ah I see... yes in that case you'd need two build servers. Definitely seems like overkill for 3 devs - but it'd scale well if you grow in size, and it shouldn't be any overhead for you once it's set up. Does seem excessive though. Maybe just one build server that has both trunk + release brances checked out, and the server builds one, then the other, all on the same box?
-
Subversion working practises.one approach is this: Have seperate 'trunk' and 'release' branches. Your build server would build out of /release. All development and updates occurs in /trunk. If a developer wants to make small changes they'd do that in /trunk. If a major change is taking place - i.e. experimental changes that might have a major impact, the developer would create their own branch, and merge back into /trunk when they're done. When you want to cut a new release, you 'svn' copy /trunk over into /release (keeping the svn history in the process) - or choose which bits of /trunk you want to release (or even an interim release-candidate) This way your release process is highly controlled and you can easily revert back to known released versions at any time without having to worry about the mess that can occur in trunk with multiple developers merging in their separate branches.

Noise cancelling headphones...no probs, glad to be of help. The glasses/comfort thing is a big deal for me and for that reason the senn'ies come out on top.
-
Noise cancelling headphones...yes, I use those exact headphones. They're brilliant - amazing sound quality, lightweight, better than Bose 'phones imo. Good thing about the sennheisers is they don't cup the whole ear - so if you wear glasses then this makes them far more comfortable than (say) Bose headphones that can press the glasses arms against the side of your head. They have a separate battery-back (2x AAA) that joins to the cable. I don't find that an issue as you can clip it onto your clothing / keep it close by. The headphones also fold up really neatly and everything fits into a neat little pouch that is really easy to stash away when you're travelling. Get the senniheisers, you won't regret it.

Windows 7 "Compatibility Files"Has Vista virtualised your file-writes? because they are going to locations that are normally only accessible by an administrator. You can embed an application manifest in your executable that specifies at what level your app should run at (asInvoker/asAministrator etc). When Vista sees the manifest it will disable virtualisation and your file-writes will fail (rather than being virtualised) if you try to write somewhere without having permission.
