  1. Usually by acting like an asshole and demanding to speak to their manager. Once speaking to the manager be all sweetness and light, and ask nicely to speak to someone in second level support. Most support centre managers are too busy to spend time on the phone so are only to happy to push you off to someone else. ( After years in IT, talking to many an idiot on the phone I'm not too sure whether it's an act when I'm an asshole to someone on the phone)
  2. Assuming it's the same as the US model the Escape looks nice. What frame size are you going for?
  3. I remember and understand that kind of stuff, but then that kind of stuff used to be my job. I can understand why it does peoples heads in. I have rung up Microsofts help line a number of times, for heaps of different reasons. Trying to get any info out of their first level support is next to impossible, really need to get to second level support before you get to someone who can do more than read from the script in front of them.
  4. You need a Costco card to get in. If you don't have one either find a friend who has to take you, or ask about a guest card. One way of getting in just to look, but not buy, is to go in the exit door, then use the toilets, once out of the toilets walk though the checkouts into the shop. Gives you a chance to look around. (I've been to and from the toilets while shopping heaps of times and never been asked to show my Costco card)
  5. The closest skijo to the SJ-HQ is the famous Mt Granview, but I don't think it was taken from there. How about Ishiuchi Hanaoka from Maiko Snow Resort
  6. This can be updated to 2010. So can anyone name the only unbeaten team at the 2010 World Cup?
  7. I can sort of understand how that "swimwear" attachs at the front, but how does it attach at the back?
  8. As Mr Wiggles said above, Line seems very popular amongst Japanese. I'd never heard of it until my wife installed it on my phone, and although I'm no longer working in IT I do try to keep up to date on what is happening in the IT world. According to Wikipeadia LINE is a South Korean-Japanese proprietary application for instant messaging on smartphones and personal computers. Line users exchange text messages, graphics, video and audio media, make free VoIP calls, and hold free audio or video conferences. Previously the only Line I'd heard of was the guys who name their skis after peopl
  9. Windows Server 2012 is not usually at home, it is usually found at work. When you log into your computer at work you are probably connecting to a Windows Server. Depending on how up to date your work place is it may be Server 2012, although it's most likely an earlier version.
  10. The only issue with getting a new one is the forced upgrade to Windows 8.1. I still prefer Windows 7 to 8.1
  11. Try pulling the laptop apart. The keyboard should come out no problem. They are usually held in by a couple of screws under the laptop. The problem being that you don't want to turn the laptop upside down to get to them. Sounds awkward but try and keep the laptop right way up and get the screws out. then remove the keyboard. The coffee should be contained within the keyboard. Once out the keyboard can be cleaned, use a damp cloth and if necessary remove the keys from the keyboard. If the laptop isn't too old you should be able to get a replacement keyboard. I've brought laptops that have had
