    Alarm!

    Das Boot on BluRay.

    Only let down by the fact that I don’t have a sufficient sound system to apply to my newly-acquired BluRay player.

    Hi Hunter, the warning shows a redirect not a pop-up warning. 🙂

    For a minute I thought you meant the Coventry pilot who may have had a water-related accident

    PeeDee – think about it logically. There are several aspects to you establishing a connection between your PC and the ISP. How do you find the fault if you were the provider?

    Noisy copper lines don’t always show themselves up all the time. You should though be making a note of the SNR and attenuation at good times and bad.

    In a simple non-technical fault-finding process (as many call centres are so staffed) it’s typically thus:

    1. Plug router directly into test socket
    Any better? No?
    2. Send new filters
    Any better? No?
    3. Send replacement router
    Any better? No…?

    Ok guv, likely not our equipment then. We’ll now risk incurring a fee for BT OpenReach to come out and have check the lines (£129 inc VAT). Usually BT will waive this to whomever if a fault is found on their equipment, but if they deem it wasted time, they charge their client.

    This assumes ADSL option 2 (unbundled package)

    It would be interesting to see what happens if you install AdBlock Plus to your Firefox then get the ads to go away

    Good advice – most students tend to over read the chart, so not flying accurate headings and speed between checkpoints. My RAF-derived advice was to do 6 minute checkpoints and begin looking/calculating up to 2 mins before but no more. Certainly lowers the workload.

    Washout does make a difference in principle. As for the wing design here? Given ‘SS is such a valuable asset, it would be a good research project for someone at Cranfield to scientifically prove either way e.g. models, tunnel time, CFD even 🙂
