    Comma before whereby?

    Should I add a comma before 'whereby' in the following clause? Employees will be subject to Compulsory Maternity Leave whereby they will not be permitted to work for 2 weeks after their baby has been born (4 weeks for factory workers). Tony ___________________________________________________...

    DOS on PocketPC/Windows Mobile 5?

    I support an excellent DOS-based suite of accounting, order processing and stockholding software. It runs very well on Windows XP and I am considering buying lap-tops for our external sales team to run it on. As an alternative, I was wondering whether hand-helds/PDA's could run it. Does...

    Onomatopoeia

    I've just heard the word Chortle in conversation :-D! As it put a smile on my face (it's just such a lovely, oldie-worldie, innocently funny word to describe the sound), I thought I'd share it. And I began wondering if anyone else could think of some other great 'words that imitate the sound...

    Stablising Remote Desktop over VPN

    I have configured a VPN using two Linksys BEFSX41 routers to link a remote site with a head office. H/O is running terminal services on a Win2000 server and has an NT4 domain controller. The remote site, using a WinXP Pro PC, can connect using Remote Desktop. So far, so good. However, the...

    Remote Desktop Web Connection - OK for Win 2000 Server?

    Having been trying, unsuccessfully, to stabilise Remote Desktop connections to a Terminal Server over a VPN, (here if anyone can help) I have stumbled across references to Terminal Services Advanced Client Pack 5.01 - designed to run Terminal Services sessions within Internet Explorer...

    Terminal Services over VPN - protocol error

    For a number of years I have been successfully using Remote Desktop on XP Pro clients to connect to a W2K Server running Terminal Services (with an NT4 domain controller). However, part of the LAN is an expensive Kilostream (Point-to-Point always on telephone) line connecting a branch 60 miles...

    Oxymoron!

    Is 'Doing Nothing' an oxymoron?" The original context for this question is that I have been asked what I'd like to do tonight and replied, "I've been so busy lately, I'd like to do nothing". Can I actively do nothing? I would appreciate some feedback on this. If, in thinking around the...

    Definition of Interrogator

    This popped up in another thread and I was wondering what the answer is: Should the first definition of 'Interrogator' be: A) One who interrogates; or B) One that interrogates and why? I incline towards A), but I don't have a technical reason - it feels better??!! Tony...

    Explaining the difference between Because & Why

    My older children (7 & 10 years old), for a reason I cannot fathom, seem to confuse these two words and, short of pointing out each missuse as it happens, I cannot think of a simple way of explaining the difference. Can anyone offer a suggestion that they will understand? Child 2 means...

    Can't use Open Tunnel - why?

    Hi all, At my office I am using a Linksys BEFSX41 switch as a VPN endpoint and can open a tunnel from home (using the Greenbow VPN Client on an XP-Pro PC) - both ends confirm the tunnel is active. However, I cannot 'see' any computers on either end - cannot ping; cannot log on the the work...

    Personality Type – a new common lingo

    At our church the staff have all been ‘profiled’ (using Myers Briggs Personality Profiling) which has lead to an interesting side-effect – the introduction of type descriptions when talking about/to one-another. For example: “I’m an ESFP”, or “most of the male staff members are P’s and their...
