  1. Hello would like some help in editing a document please, what I would like to do is edit something from left to right as usual so when I am typing it is naturally justified to the left, but on the same line I would like to tab it to type something on the justified far right so there are words at both ends of the same line being read and when I type too much on the right it edits in on the same line instead of dropping to another line below, is there a way to do this without put a table there, cheers.


  2. I have the latest version of Google Chrome and Avast Free running and have only a few tabs opened really, got some YouTube videos running and a Word document open, nothing too major, but every now and then when I access the internet, there is always a massive delay in opening pages and on the top of Chromes tabs for the pages the circle keeps going round and round almost like there are processes running in the back ground but have no idea what.

     

    Could there be something running in the background causing this stand still and are there any ways I can detect what is slowing me down, my internet connection is with BT Infinity so it can not be that surely, something else must be slowing down.


  3. Has anyone been to the Rileys just down from Intake on Mansfield Road, I went last month after a few years and the whole place has gone rite down hill, they have taken out most of the American pool tables for English ones, they stopped showing Sky Sports ages ago, there is very little in the way of atmosphere and to cap it off they have a few poker tables in the main bar area, the rest of the interior is also very depressing and there is no maintenance at all to the walls, carpets or tables and the place just generally looks a mess, it needs a complete rethink on what it needs to do because the night I went to last month there was only 1 staff member on and even she looked fairly peed off at times.

     

    I was thinking, I went bowling to that Fastlane Bowl at Handsworth a few weeks ago for my birthday, that is directly above a Rileys club and we had a great time, it was bright and pleasant inside and the prices were pretty good as well and the whole place was rather busy with a buzz as well. Now I was told that this also belongs to Rileys, not given the Rileys on Mansfield Road is so big with a massive unit next door, why on earth do they not convert that Rileys into a bowling lane, it would give the area some much needed entertainment and night life as well give the kids somewhere to go, it would be a gold mine for this end of Sheffield, who else agrees?


  4. Sounds like a plan, I may just get stuff for my freezer and food cupboard then just leave the fridge to fresh stuff with short shelve lives that I can buy at the shops in person, that way I can be sure of a good balance of quality and value.


  5. I am considering doing my main food shopping online and just keeping the fresh fruit and veg and meat shopping for the market, that way it will be best of both worlds as am on the tightest of budgets so instead of going to the shop and buying things I do not need and wasting money, here I will be able to total the amounts precisely and be sure that I am managing my money as best I can.

     

    Now, what are the main pros and cons of doing a food shop online and what are the cheapest places to shop from Sainsburys, Asda, Tesco and Morrisons and are any of these free delivery or do I have to shop a certain amount to get that?


  6. Does anyone watch this on BBC 1 with that big bloke Clive Holland, I always wondered what builders he uses for this show seeing as there are so many odd job men and jobsworths out there it must be a nightmare knowing who to trust and who will not rip you off.


  7. Will YouTube ever ditch Adobe Flash for its video content and will it ever fully upgrade it to the latest web standards like HTML5 and the like, surely there are far better quality and more efficient ways to watch and host videos than using the dead horse flash player.

     

    Even Apple and mobile devices have ditched it as well as the upcoming Windows 8 which is saying something, surely flash's days are well and truly numbered, if I have to go another year of seeing those annoying flash updates to just view websites normally then I will scream.


  8. Having just watched the Senna (2010) documentary about Brazilian Formula One racing driver Ayrton Senna, who won the F1 world championship three times before his death at age 34.

     

    I would not say he is the most successful F1 driver as that accolade has to go to Michael Schumacher, but in terms of raw talent and a pathological desire to win then Senna has to go down as the greatest ever talent to drive an F1 car, he really was something special and his personality will rarely be matched.


  9. Seeing as touch screens have been all the rage in recent years and seeing that Microsoft is botching 2 different interfaces together with Aero and Metro, is Microsoft getting scared by the fashionable and desirable nature of Apple's products namely iPad.

     

    I can see Windows 8 forcing more new customers to Macs and is that really a bad thing?


  10. Have just figured out you can watch Sky on the internet without the need to have the dish installed, if say in my position, my mum has Sky at her house but she does not use the online features like Go or Anytime+, so I have used her details at my flat to log into the Sky website and am able to have a near full package minus the sports channels, the same as my mum and without any extra cost, so if you know of anyone who has Sky and who has a log in account online, you can use their details with permission and access Go, I must add that you can only register 2 devices per month being either a computer or mobile device but they do not need to be at the same address, so that makes it great if you are having trouble getting Sky in other rooms and do not want the hassle of re-wiring stuff up and causing mess, just thought I would share that with the board and save people a few bob, do not say I never contribute by the way lol


  11. Yes that is what I meant, Movie Maker saves and converts the files then when I re-open the project it is then suitable to upload to YouTube. But the whole conversion takes forever and Movie Maker is not the most intuitive of things to use either so was wondering about other ways to go about it.


  12. What is bigger than a Terabyte, I am betting it far exceeds a few hundred of those.

     

    Imagine de-fragmenting their hard drives, mind you, I am betting they have super high capacity super fast Solid State Drives in their servers.
