    Crap advice – why make life hard for yourself

    Orly? The amount of crap it generates actually makes life more difficult for you in the long run. Plus if it falls over/won’t work in different browsers you’ll have no concept of why or how to fix it. It has it’s place and that place isn’t to learn web design.

    Go to 123-reg.co.uk register the domain. Look at 5quidhost.co.uk for the hosting. You don’t need a fancy package to get great results. Learn from first principals she’ll get a much better result that she can actually maintain. Notepad++ is all you need. Avoid dreamweaver and the like.

    For a good starting point try twitter bootstrap to build an actual site. If she just wants to get online try wordpress or maybe joomla you can get quite a sophisticated site without a load of coding.

    If she really really wants to avoid any coding then look at adobe muse which lets you design the site and produces the markup automagically.

    As has been said, Slr’s are a system not just a camera body, think about what type of shooting you are most likely to do and look for which of the systems has the best/ best value lenses in that range. Eg sony have a poorer lens range than canon/nikon but have higher specced bodies to compensate.

    Generally none of the big manufacturers make lemons, canon, nikon, Sony, pentax all make good cameras.

    Avoid lenses with wide ranges as they usually perform poorly. Buy primes if you can, you’ll get much better results. Some people have reccomended ken Rockwell, one caveat I would put on his reviews is that he is paid by people to say nice things about their cameras, he used to slate everything canon but more recently has become very nice about them. Also don’t read too much into measurebating sites such as DXOMark. My personal face is dpreview.

    In what way are they “clearly very happy”? They’ve said nothing about it? That’s not proof, its not even refined speculation, it is what is, that being nothing.

    Governements don’t comment on lots of things, that doesn’t make them true, no matter how hard you want it to be.

    As for the writer, well I know he has written a book where he makes these claims, he will sell that book for money. He could make money from any number of versions of events but seeing as these are the ones in his book, I would reasonably assume he has a vested interest in the way he tells it.

    Confirmed is a fairly binary adjective, it is either confirmed or not, where is the confirmation?

    I can see you are desperate for this to be true, it clearly dovetails beautifully with your belief system. It probably is, but I’m merely pointing out that nothing has been confirmed, there is no proof and that the guy making these claims has something to gain from them.

    Oooooh, let me take a wild stab.

    Maybe its because he stands to make money from it.

    So far your proof is “this writer said that these un-named officials said…”

    The point is that the US are guilty of far worse warmongering and support for terrorism than Iran but the US are seen as ft to have nukes but Iran is not.

    At no point have I disputed this.

    What I do dispute is that the US have held their hands up and admitted anything. Someone has written a book claiming the US wrote stuxnet, that is the sum total of the evidence. It is reasonable to assume that the writer has a vested interest in their verion of events.

    Because the US haven’t denied it, it seems to have been taken as fact. It probably was them, but there is nothing beyond someone wanting to sell copies of their book to prove it.

    Hey Ernie, the real world called, they were wondering how that whole entirely black and white thing was going?

    only Zionists were involved in covert activities, fact, any other view is fascist.

    How do we know this, well I dont see a denial, must be fact.

    You are probably reading this frustrated that I must be a us sympathiser as opposed to a pragmatist.

    No sorry, some guy saying there is confirmation does not make it so. They haven’t accepted the accusation, nor have they denied it, this proves precisely dick.

    commentators suggested

    well that’s conclusive then.

    As a commentator I suggest that this is a conspiracy propagated by the neoliberal elite, who are fronts for the knights Templar who are in fact pan dimensional lizards. They did this to avoid accusations of communism.

    If they don’t deny it then it must be true.

    The post is titled US and Israel put their hands up. They patently haven’t.

    As for western agencies being responsible, seems equally likely to be Israel to me.

    Where in the article does a current member of either the us or Israeli governments admit to writing stuxnet? As far as I can make out some guy wrote a book claiming it to be true.

    It probably was but it’s hardly proof, just some guy who wants to sell copies of his book.

    They should pay for them the tight sods.

    Why shouldn’t they be free? I’m sure some (or a lot of) ammature photgraphers would happily have their work published for free with credit given.

    So they can get more free work?

    What do you do? Will you come over and do it for free for me. I swear I’ll give you credit and you’ll get lots of exposure as the bloke who does free work, leading to… More free work!

    Andy Kirkpatrick is an absolute legend.

    If you ever get the chance to go to one of his talks I would highly recommend it.

    If you want a bit of perspective read Into thin air by Jon Krakauer he does do his usual trick of not letting the facts get in the way of a good tale but I agree with his conclusions to a large extent. Its also worth reading the climb by anatoli boukreev as well for what is probably closer to the chain of events.

    It will take more hits above the CE rating than any other.

    Great, apart from the testing being fundamentally flawed. I own one too but it’s important to understand its weaknesses as well as it’s strengths.

    Helmets designed to protect you from things falling from above perform poorly at protecting from side impacts. The point is that the learned to climb at stanage crowd form by far the largest section of the climbing community and not winter climbers but they are sold the same helmets.

    Weekend craggers do not face debris falling on them very often. Using your example of a hold snapping the fall is more likely to result in a side impact than a top one.

    some are good at what the helmet is designed for – rocks falling from above

    Not exactly the number one risk at stanage is it?

    This is precisely my point as to why climbing helmets are toss. Not helped by the testing standards placing such importance on falling rock protection.

    It ties the manufacturers hands somewhat on making more modern helmets suited to different disciplines.

    Climbing helmets are toss, fact. They straddle wildly differing disciplines- a winter climber needs a different protection from a weekend crag rat but they are both sold the same helmet. Sort this and you could make a killing. 😆

    They are being sued because of allegedly downgrading the share forecast just before the stocks were released and only telling insiders.

    Joe public wasn’t made aware of this so the banks and fb senior management made a killing using info everyone else doesn’t have.

    There are documented cases of people damaging their eyesight by wearing cheap sunglasses in sunny climbs.

    Try the Hillsprint at Harewood. It’s not as action packed as lap racing I’m afraid but it does have the advantage of being close.

    It also has public access to the pits so you can wander round the actual cars racing.

    No, ceramics deal with salt grit etc better as they don’t corrode. Whether it’s worth the cost is another matter.

    Don’t think there is a fullblown pdf editor for the ipad. There is adobe pdf reader pro, which has form filling etc.

    If you have a desktop with acrobat, get splashtop and Remote edit it.

    Avoid amazon, they had a huge downtime last year and dropped 00’s of sites data, when they tried to get some comeback amazon pointed to the t&c’s saying they offered no guarantees.

    Tried wuala didn’t really get on with it, dropbox is good, box is basically a clone but cheaper. If you are technically minded you can roll your own really very easily, get an unlimited LAMP hosting package ~£10 a month install ajaxplorer and voila you have your own cloud storage service.
