I got the email this morning , and must use Log me in twice a month to support my parents who live some distance from me. A friend recommended Teamviewer after I got the email , so will be trying it tonight to see if it meets my requirements. Dont think I can go back to 1st line support style questions with my mother anymore!

my office was the same, big server team, so everyone normally working on their own space and it was great right up to my employer decided to ban them as they are not the right image :( followed by an an@l clean desk policy , banned anything personal on desks at the same time, so gone are all the dilbert cartoons, bobble heads and other touches that made your desk your own....

They have to do the "knowledge" on 2 wheels while they learn the way around all the taxi routes, but once in a black cab show total distain for all other vehicles on the road. Also the spotty Chavs/Neds once they have sold the scooter after turning 17 don't seem very aware of bikes and cycles once they are in a car.

I assume its the thought of being a "heartbeat away" from her becoming President if McCain had won. Otherwise known as the Dan Quayle effect.....

That is Dyson's Project Orion , technically you could get something the mass of a Destroyer into space. However pesky things like treaties & fallout killed that dead. However "if" you could get a lot of nukes into space safely you could build something in orbit rather than a ground launch.

no- they expelled the lbyians - they did not storm the embassy. did suround it for several days - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Yvonne_Fletcher#Siege The SAS stormed the Iranian embasy in London (Remember watching them going through the windows Live on TV!) ack in 1980 during a hostage crisis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_Embassy_siege
