I have bought a new pack of DVD+RW disks. Neither the DVD drive in my wife's Toshiba laptop nor that in my HP PC will recognise these disks; they keep asking me to put a disk in the drive when I have...
It seems silly that every time the ink runs out in a cartridge refill kit one has to buy another complete kit when all one needs is the ink. I can't find any source on the internet for ink in a...
In Microsoft Word I often use COPY/CUT and PASTE but only for one item at a a time. I've noticed that my Word manual says that Clipboard can hold up to 12 items. But whenever I COPY a second item it...
My printer (Brother DCP-350C) has worked fine up to now but is now printing/photocopying colour material with the magenta component missing. I have put in a brand-new magenta cartridge and done alll...
My sixpenn’orth first, please. Putting aside all religious considerations and all matters of faith, I maintain that if you look cold-bloodedly and objectively at the provenance of the Jesus...
One would think that a person who could think rationally would be consistent about it. But this seems not to be so. Below is a thread about a chap who rejects God but believes in an afterlife, even...
My files in Microsoft Word have suddenly decided to re-arrange themselves in anti-alphabetical order. I can see no button to correct this. How do I do it?
I keep coming across the claim that hot water will freeze faster than room-temp water. To me it makes no sense. The room-temp water starts to cool from there, whereas the hot water will take time to...
TravelMole keep e-mailing me and ignore all requests to stop. They are a tremendous nuisance because when I click on their e-mail to DELETE it, up pops a fault window. Then, no matter how deal with...
I keep being denied access to sites because I'm told that I don't have the up-to-date flashplayer installed. I have installed Adobe Flashplayer 10 several times - so it tells me! - but it still does...
Whenever I try to update to Adobe Flashplayer 10.1 It says that Mozilla Firefox must be closed first. What does that mean? Do I have to uninstall Firefox?
My wife's laptop uses Windows 7 which is unfamiliar to me since I use Windows XL. Because of a problem, she has been advised to use the Recovery facility to return the laptop to its factory condition,...
A number of bigoted priests and senior clergymen, who are against the idea of women bishops and are also homophobic, are leaving the Anglican church to join Roman Catholicism where such despicable...
Whenever I try to REPLY ALL to a large number of people, I am told that one of them cannot be reached. When I delete that one from the list, another one takes its place as unobtainable... and so on....
Religionists on this site and elsewhere in the world of belief always quote faith as a virtue, something to be proud of. Why? 'Faith' is a euphemism for 'blind credulity' or 'belief without the need...
I have found in a drawer a package, which I didn't know I had, which contains an AVerTV Cardbus, complete with all manner of connecting cables, a remote control, but, alas, no user manual. Research on...
In September, to welcome a man called Joseph Ratzinger for a few days, we are going to spend £15m - twice as much as we pay our own head of State for a whole year’s work. Because he is...
It seems to me that “GM” has too narrow a definition nowadays. Genetic modification of plants and animals has gone on for centuries, possibly millennia, under the names of...
My cherry tree is quite young but it has borne fruit for the last two or three years. The trouble is that as soon as the fruit turns from pale yellow to red it shrivels up and drops off. What sort of...
