Cheapest way to do it AFAIK is to setup a LTD as a software or tech type company and then apply for an Action Pack subscription at £250 per annum. You get pretty much every single Microsoft server product in a nicely bound binder as well as

Really reminds us who are able to pickup RAM or a graphics card for a few quid that not everyone in the world is so lucky. Very impressed with what Jhonny managed to do. It does beg the question though - what's next for Apple's ch

Yikes. Missed this by 1 day. I updated Handbrake to 1.0.7 on 1st May to compress a bunch of videos. Was a little surprised to see it wasn't signed but after scanning it with ClamXav I figured I was safe and installed it on every Mac in

This is a worrying story. And not only because it highlights the possible role that outside factors might have played in swinging key elections to the right. It's worrying because it runs a great risk in making those living in the Lond

Hackintoshes are a fun hobby and in my youth I burnt a lot of time messing around with editing kexts, boot loaders, and fixing it after every other update. Soon as I got my first paying job I plowed my first two pay cheques into a Mac Pro

At native, 3840x2160 most of the time. If I have a little eye strain then I'll drop it down a notch (Mac) which scales to 3008x1692 I think.

That was incredibly good. Some of the ethical and practical implications raised in that video by humans actually achieving interstellar travel were pretty eye opening.

The Dell UP3216Q should be good. I had it's predecessor at work which provides 4K at 32". I have poor eye sight so the extra size helped and for photo editing the extra resolution was very welcome. I can also recommend an Ultrawid

Works fine, but little bugs and regressions like lack of form entry validation on some config fields for instance mean you could create a completely invalid config. I didn't try and find out what happened with an invalid config but did

I recently went through a lot of issues with macOS and FreeNAS. For SMB shares you can get pretty perfect support by ensuring the share level option called 'VFS Objects' has catia, fruit, aio_pthread and streams_xattr. It's i

LaCie Thunderbolt 2big here for high def and 4K projects - works great. Then a Synology NAS for long term storage - also contains my entire iMovies library since gigabit is plenty fast for SD video.

I really doubt that Google were constrained for technical reasons. XMPP is completely extensible. I've worked with it for over a decade and there's absolutely no technical reason why Google couldn't have extended the XMPP spe

Ironic we nearly went under a few times during the early days because our customers (tier 1 telecoms and financial firms) would drag their heels for months and months over invoices many magnitudes less than this. Makes me wonder what's

Heh, you're lucky. I have two toddlers and I cannot stand to hear them cry and I sure as heck can't say 'no' to pleading eyes asking me 'Daddy do you want to play Legos with us?'. As a result I had to get a des

Just to get the ball rolling, whilst I'm biased (Londoner) I still think the UK is a good place to start a business. For one London/Manchester are fantastic places to find a quality working space and good talent and at prices far

There's a saying (I paraphrase): 'A good compromise is one where everyone is equally unhappy'. Guess you could flip around your comment and say it's not democracy if it's the outcome you like!

Well to begin with, the availability of free universal health care - like the NHS helps ensure a pretty competitive private healthcare market. For example, I know that if my wife becomes pregnant or if there are complications we won't

A good one which I personally started out with as a base is a large handful or two of spinach leaves and a ripe banana blended with some water. From there on you can make a pretty creamy and healthy smoothie, just add almonds, dates, berrie

Short, succinct and helpful article. Going through similar growing pains with my startup so this is timely. Scrimba looks great too, think it could really push the e-learning market forward. This kind of tool would be great for Khan Academy

There's a concept called 'first mover disadvantage'. None of these companies are idiots, I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that they all knew of climate change decades prior to 1991. However the way our system prices extern

I see nothing wrong with the BBC article - it could be more accurate by adding 'in mice' to the subject but that's the only problem I see. Research starts somewhere. If you're genuinely interested in quality, well resear

I used to have the same problem. Probably low blood sugar if you're accustomed to a more carb rich diet. Switching to eating more healthy fats (olive oil, raw coconut oil, butter) and less sugar helped me with this particular problem.

We live in a pretty litigious society. Everything has to be caveated to cover the lowest common denominator. On top of that nutrition is a complex subject filled with a lot of mis-information. In this particular case fasting can be risky fo

Seconded. Anyone ever tried Mazama Mugs? (made in Oregon, US). Saw one on the shelf at a local coffee shop for $42! Had to pick it up and see what the fuss was about. I'm embarrassed to confess but I've never wanted a piece of cro
