  1. Unfortunately not everyone is as smart as you and would have no idea what the thing you asked for is used for.

     

    I'm sure there's many members on here, me included, that surf the forum to see what others are up to, and perhaps pick up some ideas that could be useful for some of their own projects that they might have going. 

     

    Or even get ideas to solve some problem that they didn't know that there was an actual solution to.

     

    It makes the forum more friendly ????

    Only because you don't understand it doesn't mean that there are no reasons.

     

    It is always amazing in this forum when someone asks a simple question and then some people make it complicated because they don't understand it.

    I won't tell you all the details why I want what I want. It doesn't matter. And if you don't understand it and have nothing to contribute then just skip this topic. That is best for all of us.

     

    It's polite and makes the question more interesting to give a  reason for your request for information.

     

    An attitude of "I want to know how to do something but it's non of you business what for" is not really conjusive when asking for help.

     

    Giving a little background on what you are trying to achieve  will make your post more friendly and possibly get more people interested in bothering to provide an answer.

     

    Anyway up to you

    Irrelevant and absurd ceremony, I don't think many other European royals still do coronations. This nonsense should have ended with Charles the first getting beheaded, if only Cromwell had lived a bit longer they might never have crept back in. Even Rome almost never went for hereditary Emperors, and when they did it was usually a disaster. QE 2 did a good job, but it really is time to end this absurd system of a head of state appointed purely on who their parents were. As for the adulteress she is an utter disgrace.

    You mean like Russia that got rid of their monarchy?

    How do you feel that is working out ?

  4. Jesus and the Devil were talking arguing one day ... (Computer Wisdom)
    Jesus and Satan were having an ongoing argument about who was better on the computer. They had been going at it for days, and God was tired of
    hearing all of the bickering. Finally God said, "Cool it. I am going to
    set up a test that will run two hours and I will judge who does the
    better job."

    So Satan and Jesus sat at the keyboards and typed away. They moused.
    They did spreadsheets. They wrote reports. They sent faxes. They sent
    e-mail. They sent out e-mail with attachments. They downloaded. They did some genealogy reports. They made cards. They did every known job.

    But ten minutes before their time was up, lightening suddenly flashed
    across the sky, thunder rolled, the rain poured and, of course, the
    electricity went off.

    Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the underworld. Jesus just sighed. The electricity finally flickered
    back on, and each of them restarted their computers.

    Satan started searching frantically, screaming "It's gone! It's all
    gone! I lost everything when the power went out!" Meanwhile, Jesus
    quietly started printing out all of his files from the past two hours.
    Satan observed this and became irate. "Wait! He cheated, How did he do
    it?"

    God shrugged and said, "Jesus saves."

    no google ,  would not take advice from here without doing my own research

    Nothing wrong with Google. I use it quite a lot but asking here gives local knowledge and local experience.

    It could be argued that any question could be Googled and that would leave this forum pretty empty.????

    You need to research seen a subject sometime ago about this  as u rightly said its the charging

    If you are talking about the search function on here, it's easier just to ask the question again  ????

  8. Just a side question.

    Could I connect a car battery to give my UPS more backup time?

    I know its no problem actually connecting an extra battery, but could the internal charging unit of the UPS cope with the additional load of an extra battery ?

  9. An Irishman went for an interview with one of the major blue chip computer companies.

    When the interview was over, the interviewer told him that all applicants had to complete a test. The interviewer took a piece of paper and drew six vertical lines in pairs of two on the paper and placed it in front of the Irishman.

    “Could you please show me a clever way to make this into nine?”

    After thinking for a while, the Irishman took the pencil, drew a canopy of leaves on top of the three pairs of lines, and handed the paper back to the interviewer.

    The interviewer looked at the drawings and said: “But that is not nine!”

    “Oh yes, it is”, said the Irishman with a broad Irish accent, “Tree + Tree + Tree make nine!”
    The interviewer returned the paper to the Irishman and asked him to make it 99.

    After thinking for a long while, the Irishman scribbled up and down the trunks and handed the paper back to the interviewer.

    The interviewer looked at the drawings and said: “But that is not ninety-nine!” “Oh yes, it is”, said the Irishman, “Dirty tree + dirty tree + dirty tree make ninety-nine.”

    The interviewer was now a bit cheesed off, so he decided to do the Irishman once and for all; therefore, he handed the paper back to the Irishman and asked him to make it 100.
    After thinking for a considerably longer time, the Irishman suddenly grabbed the pencil, drew a little blop on the bottom right-hand side of each three, and handed the paper back to the interviewer. The interviewer looked at the drawings and said: “But that is not 100!”

    “Oh yes, it most certainly is”, said the Irishman with a much broader Irish accent,

    “Dirty tree and a turd + dirty tree and turd + dirty tree and a turd, make a 100
