Do other people use the computer each with their own login. I'm pretty sure that the Recycler folder maintains a directory for each user, so whilst the Recycle Bin for your login may have been emptied, other user's Recycle Bins may not be, and thus you have what appears to be unaccounted disk...

Thanks for the suggestion Mike, I think you're probably right. Presumably the flow in the 'in' tube is a fraction of that in the 'out' (to Vac) tube and is directly related to cross section size of each tube. The reason for a larger 'in' tube is that the smaller Vac tube was getting blocked when...

Many thanks Jeff - I'll have to figure out why the link Picasa gives doesn't work with the Img tags.

Not sure why the photos aren't displaying - any tips? Thanks

This is my first post in the 'on-topic' section, I've come to woodworking only recently, now having the space, more time and (a little) money. I've been knocking bits of wood together for various sorts of garden use, but not yet really made anything. I want to make a couple of timber frames...

Mark, not too sure about the other equipment you have and how you have it all connected. If you were to run the two RCA connectors (red and white as you have) from the TV to a line level input on your hi-fi (eg CD, Aux etc) then you will only get two channel audio, ie front L & R, no matter what...

Mark, don't know if you've already looked into this, but assuming it's the PS50B551T3WXX model then it has stereo Audio Out on the rear of the TV and so should be straightforward to connect up to your hi-fi. Looks like a v nice TV - 1080p and 4 HDMI sockets - should be pretty future proof...

Mike, thanks for the info on biomass systems, not something I was aware of. Did some googling and found some useful information, in particular I found a relatively local equipment supplier and this trade article which provides CO2 emission comparisons. Whether the reduction compared to fossil...

Umm.. errr... maybe he makes them in his spare time :)

I take back my cheaper comment then.

Anthony Gallo do some very nice small speakers and matching subs. I've never heard them but they appear well thought of. Another option would be Kef Eggs, but someone who's opinion I respect rates the Gallos over the Eggs. One advantage of an in-wall speaker is that they can be larger yet still...

Matt, the DD18 is about 3.5k. I said cheaper, not necessarily cheap. I don't own a sub, never have, just opinions I have read from people that 'know'. Agreed re the speakers, wasn't trying to suggest that discreet speakers can't work, we will probably go for in-wall speakers in our new build...

As Matt suggested, I would go and get some demos. At the very least this should give you an idea of what you can get for your budget. I would also try to demo something 2-3 times your budget so you can get a sense of whether this is the start of the slippery slope into AV or you know you'll be...

We're considering a new build and want to make it as renewables based as possible. At a recent Home/Design type show we spoke to a company (who partner with Robbens) about heat pumps and they advised that for us air source heat pumps would be the best choice combined with underfloor heating...

We have a Russell Hobbs Breadman Ultimate, works very well. Started off making bread from scratch but now use the Hovis Granary readymix which we like the flavour and texture of and is extremely simple to prepare, just add water and butter. I found that one of these helps extend the freshness...

Roger, I watch/stream SD DVD material to a 42" plasma and it's like watching it from a DVD player. Lower resolution material as one would expect does not look as good, but a one hour episode of something of around 800mb looks significantly better than some of the low res channels on Sky. I have...

This is an interesting development - http://xbmc.org/davilla/2009/12/29/broa ... its-magic/ So an AppleTV with XBMC and one of these could be a very good solution. I took a look at the Xtreamer video and was particularly underwhelmed. I haven't looked closely at the specs but was disappointed...

Let me re-phrase then - if you break the CSS encryption to make a copy to a hard disk then this could be considered illegal. Studios primary concern is that these copies are then sold. As said a blind eye appears to be turned to personal backups. If the software employed maintains the CSS/DRM...

Well that's my understanding. The only way to back up a DVD is to break the macrovision encryption (for retail discs). I have been told that studios are much less interested in SD and nowadays turn a blind eye, their interest now is with DB. That's not mean to sound alarmist, the likelihood of...

First post here, but been lingering for some while in the 'on-topic' forums. Seems like a lot of good information so far. I currently have an Infrant/Netgear ReadyNAS which offers several media streaming services as well as backup and a photo library tool. If I read right though the NAS...
