Anyone recommend good software to go with the scanner? I'm using scansnap organizer and it leaves much to be desired.

You could try MakeMKV, the container is MKV but it keeps the original encoding.

The book you don't remember is "The War of Powers" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_War_of_Powers

Would it be worth connecting an external microphone to this, and if so what would be a good one?

Stupid thing keeps saying that it's not save the post then multiple copies turn up any way to delete the duplicates?

Interestingly there is one temperature for which this approximation is exact.

If you can watch the "Stupid Death" segments on the CBBC program Horrible Histories. Several of these and a whole load more have been featured over the years. Considering it's meant to be for kids this program is just great.

Jacket from Scott eVest or a Rufus Roo for warmer countries. Tac shirt from 5.11. Undershirt from Ex-Officio. Always have to take my belt off so don't worry about which one it is.

Given that there's no adverts on the BBC I should imagine that version will be padded out somewhat. Additionally anything particularly ranuchy will need to be tuned down, particularly if it is to be shown before 21:00. U.K. T.V. is not as fussy about sex scenes as U.S. public channels but it is only allowed to be…

These figures probably need a little background though; In England (though not all of the UK) both Friday and Monday were public holidays as is the coming Friday (Royal Wedding) so a very large percentage of the population have taken the entire week off. On top of that the weather as been extraordinarily good for the…

You cannot beat having a 3 year old who likes to answer the phone, and who will quite happily talk for hours.

@IraeNicole: Actually these where done by Sky not BBC. They (Sky) don't do much good so have to make sure to give'm credit when they do.

I'm sort of half way green. My wall warts are plugged into a power strip, but rather than have me forget to switch in on when stuff is supposed to be charging, the power strip is plugged into a cheap timer which switches on for a few hours each night. could it be better? Almost certainly. Was it cheap and quick to set…

Say what you like about the program but with a name like that you have to give them an A+ for true in advertising :-)

Would work very nicely for me as I'm on a 35 hour contract (fairly standard in Europe) works out at 3x9 + 8. One problem would be that the 9 hours would push me into the busy commuter time which I currently manage to avoid by arriving early and leaving before it starts.

Had this URL bookmarked for a while but never actually tried them, check out [store.archport.com] for similar sandals and trainers.

One nice thing I have seen in several place while travelling is tables configured so that you can actually attach things to them. In some of the places I've been this doesn't only mean laptops, some cafe's provide hooks, catches etc to stop snatch and grab of bags.

Personally I've use [spamgourmet.com] for several years, very simple to use and if necessary you can edit the addresses so that they start to work again.

In view of the very real possibility that you may have to check-in your laptop on a flight (as happened in the UK recently) does anyone have a recommendation for a hard case that could be checked in and is still reasonable otherwise(a friend of mine as already lose a screen when forced to check in a laptop in a soft…
