Was that a now-extinct form of boxing with 1 bare knuckle and 1 glove? If you didn't like the guy it would be all right hand jabs?

Maybe it's so the loser can muck and not give information when they may be buying in again. No point in a tournament as the loser is out.

Or not?

I'm a big fan of Canon Ixus range as well. I've had two (2MP and 5MP) over last 7-8 years. Really well made, nice and compact, and regularly do well in group tests. Point and shoot mode usually sufficient, but can be fiddled about with if you feel like it.

I'm an IT development manager and have done a fair bit of recruitment. As long as the CV says something for any gaps, I'm not particularly concerned at the CV stage. Will ask about a long "career break" gap at interview - probably best to judge your interviewer whether to tell the truth or not. If you can eloquently explain an attempt at a pro-poker playing career it may not go down too badly. Personally I'd be quite interested, but then I play poker, so I would. IT peeps tend to be quite pokery generally so you may be ok.

Wollaton and Bramcote are West of Nottingham (same side as DTD) and pretty nice (pricey). I'm from the other side, so don't know the west so well. I don't think there is really an acknowledged "up and coming" area at the moment with the house price uncertainty. Stick a  pin in a map and hope to get lucky .

You could probably stick DTD postcode (NG7 2UW) into rightmove.co.uk and select your price range and see what comes up close.

There are a few similar sites, but something like this one is quite handy in this situation. Put in your postcode (and optional phone no) and tells you where your local exchange is, and what companies have LLU equipment installed there, what equipment there is, and a speed estimation.

I'm the curator of the New York fashion museum, and I've written a book called "Men in Skirts" 

Sometimes when I'm typing, I accidentaly press the CAPS LOCK BUTTON, & DON'T NOTICE, THEN i HAVE TO RETYPE THE WHOLE THING.

Years ago, on my Amstrad WordStar Word Processor, I'm sure there was a button, or an F? Function, where I could paste over it, & as if by magic, it would convert it to lower-case.

Is there such a thing now, on Microsoft?

Select text then Shift-F3 in MS Word. Cycles through UPPER, lower, Title Case. Doesn't work in IE or firefox though.

369 on first attempt, but I'm going to get fired in a minute

That's just bad planning that is. If you'd have done it today, you'd only have to remember your anniversary once every 4 years 

Good luck!

They were making FM transmitters for aftermarket CD changers at least 10 years ago, and the first Ipod one (called the ITrip) came out around May 2003. So, errr, 5 years behind .

And yes, they were illegal in the UK as they were legally in the same class as a pirate radio station. That changed in December 06 when the PTB finally caught up with the technology and decided that a transmitter with a 10' range wasn't actually harming anyone...

I couldn't answer question 2, as I've been playing 2.5 years, and 2-3 years seems to have dropped into limbo somewhere.

You might want to change Q12 to tick boxes rather than radio boxes - I (and lots of others I imagine) play multiple forms of poker online (even if it's rarely in my case). And where's the 5 card draw in the list? Wild West poker's good fun in small doses .

Given the nature of the questions, I'm guessing you're thinking of setting up a new poker training website. Good luck with that.

And a story about what the environutters want to do about it:

But of course, rational debate with these people is about as useful as rational debate with religious fundamentalists...

catching the bonus ball on level 4 for 4000 helped somewhat

Historically, AMD have usually given better performance per pound than Intel. AMDs still tend to be cheaper, but value these days is probably pretty similar. Last 3 PCs I've bought have been AMD, and never had a problem in terms of compatibility. Instruction set is pretty standard these days.

Cheap (define cheap? £400? £600?) gaming computer not easy. Gaming these days is the one of the most computationally intensive thing PCs are asked to do. If you must spend as little as possible (and I'd suggest £400 as an absolute minimum, and even then it's not going to really get you a gaming PC), make sure you get one with a separate graphics card - motherboard graphics tend to suck up memory and CPU. Also get minimum of 2Gb RAM.

I'd suggest Dell for fairly good value PCs. They usually have a page listing all the available promotions - often they'll do deals with memory/HD/monitor upgrades. You can select a base spec and then upgrade the bits you want, although you tend to get MUCH better value by finding, say, a £600 PC rather than a £400 base with £200 of upgrades. MESH (www.meshcomputers.com) have a very good rep, although I've never had one.
