    Interviews

    I've just started being part of an interview panel and there has been one or two things that struck me very forcefully people should always do and remember. For some this is a bit noddy but I promise it can make the difference between getting a job offer and not. 1. Don't lie on your CV, if...

    Firefox using too much memory

    I'm running the latest firefox and am having an issue with it, the problem is the longer I use it the more memory it gobbles up and eventually the computer slows down to a very slow crawl and the only way to get out of it is via task manager and "end process" The attachment shows my task...

    Read the full article. We're doomed!

    Well you are to be precise, I'll be Mr Insty by then. Let's disband the RAF I know these stories have been bandied around on forums as banter before, but considering the current budget deficit and the amount of cuts in public spending we know are coming, anything is possible. Purple uniform...

    F3 Going soon?

    Just seen on PPrune that there is a strong rumour that the F3 will be gone (virtually) by the end of the year. See here and This spotters site Is there any truth in this? All was fine when I left work last night and we are usually told about this sort of thing.

    Sea Levels not rising

    Living in Norfolk I tend to pay a lot of attention to sea level stories! It would seem we're being fed lies by the "experts" Telegraph article. What else are they lying about?

    Home entertainment!

    Is it feasible to build a pc that will play blu-ray and provide audio for both the blu-ray and sky box on a 1080p screen? I have no idea what I need, I know it can be done but is it worth it? The prime purpose would be sound and vision but it would be networked and fully functional as a home...

    Help protect future Techies

    In the light of recent news that Adminers are to be put on the high band, (Please tell me this is an April Fool) I have decided that all techies should stick together and try and protect those that follow us. It's pretty simple (so the Armourers can join in:PDT_Xtremez_28:) all we have to do...

    Taken from the F35 thread re Tonka

    I hope you don't put any money on your predictions. Tornado GR is replacing Harrier for sound reasons none of which involve saving 2 Sqns. The F3 might well struggle to get to 2012 but it is going to be a long time before there are enough FGR4 Typhoons with crews to operate and maintain them...

    Nascar

    Right, I'm expecting a bit of incoming but it has to be said............ I prefer to watch NASCAR to F1. Here's some of the reasons why: Overtaking, there's tons of it and better still it's not frowned upon for lapped cars to have a go at the leaders. Unpredictability, even after watching it...

    SJAR Training.

    Following in from the other SJAR thread bouncing about, I got to thinking about the absolute lack of training I got before I had to write one.:0 I done enough 6000s to know I'm not turning out utter garbage (quiet now mono!) but I still didn't have a scooby as to how to get...

    The annual it's been x years since GW1 kicked off

    17 years, seems a lot less. The odd thing is ther are probably serving members on here who hadn't yet been born:PDT_Xtremez_41: but not too many I suppose! I was beavering away at Finningley trying to work out how many stretchers would fit in a Jetstream, with help I might add! Were you born...
