WTF is wrong with people nowa days. What on earth posses someone to goad away fans with a picture of 6 year old opposing fan who lost a battle with cancer.

Never mind the police I hope they get the life kicked out of them because that's what they deserve, absolute evil pieces of scum.

Fair play all the Sheff Wed fans who have condoned it and set up a just giving page to contribute to Bradley's charity.

Why are you looking for settings in Microsoft Edge?? Thought its only purpose was to download Chrome.

All web browsers seem to hog 100s of MB of memory but I thought Chrome and Firefox were the worst.

And the bastards keep switching on Moronsoft Defender. I disabled it with group policies but they keep switching it on again.

Why do you care how much memory they use, you can get 32gb of mem for about £60.

If you purchase 32Gb of memory, they will use all of it, and then you'll need 128Gb.

They don't just use it all.

Excel is the worst culpret though, if you use more than 1/2 your mem it runs like a dog. But these things use mem to make them faster so that's a good thing. Get yourself some mem, it's the only tool you have to buy so why use a crap set of spanners rather than Snap-Ons. :).

£11/hr is not a 'Living Wage' . I'm tired of hearing businesses saying they can't afford to pay a decent wage. It's supposed to be a free market economy but we're subsidising firms who aren't viable without topping up wages. Any fool can run a business if you're not paying people properly because you can undercut everyone who's paying a fair wage.

It's pointless buying extra memory when you PC's already running smoothly. I just don't understand why they need so much. I ran Windows 98 on 64MB and Internet Explorer 6.1 worked fine. :)

Just one hour to earn the money to buy a pack of cigarettes and a whole day to smoke them. ;)

yes, it's so obvious as to be hidden in plain sight!!

having 2 of my kids (both graduates, for whatever that now means) all wrestling with this economic waffle is short of an insult to everything that previous generations *sacrificed* to arrive at this amazing phenomenon...

Any loss is a bad week, but I was getting a bit slack last week. When I did my end of week accounts, I was thinking of running around the block naked as a punishment, but then I thought carrying the shame for a week should suffice. :)

Waited an hour and a half for automation to kick in and forgot to give it more than one trigger. :x
