He fairly quickly found a mains gas pipeline...and they don't like to be disturbed.

...sadly there was no sign of the man following the explosion and subsequent fire.

Channel 4 is to begin showing programmes in 3D within weeks.

Viewers will be given special glasses to view content such as a documentary on the Queen's Coronation, a magic spectacular hosted by Derren Brown and 3D movies.

If the week of prime-time shows in the autumn proves popular, the technology could become a regular feature on Channel 4.

So you can take advantage of the 3D programs, Sainsbury's is giving away 3D glasses in-store until 22 November.

Xerox is doing something cool this year for the Holidays.
They have a web site that anyone in the USA ( not sure if it is for other countrys) can go to and pick out a card . Xerox will then print it and send it to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq. You can not pick the soldier to send it to, But it will go to a member of the Armed Services.
The web site is Let's Say Thanks
You may have to type it in your browser for it to work.
And the best part is it will not cost you anything to spread some Holiday cheer.*ye% ]]> The Lounge pirky http://www.pchelpforum.com/lounge/80574-well-time-year-again.html hp a little greener http://www.pchelpforum.com/lounge/80560-hp-little-greener.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:41:25 GMT Today i got a newsgram about shipping old and retired pc's and peripherals or just about anything computer related back to them for rebates or money.

Looking at jobs I'm shocked to see that a 'School IT Technician' only earns £7-8 ($12-15 or so) an hour!

Then there are "trainee" IT Technician jobs but the salary is "only" £12-16k max. That's about $20-28k.

Am I expected to just wait until I become MCP or MCSE certified? Does anyone have any advice? Anyone want to let me know what they did when they became A+ certified.
