    Do you think if there was a sky/VM/BT section it would be popular similarly to how cableforum and digital spy has?
    No.

    No.
    How come?

    This section is like years behind other forums such as cableforum and digital spy.

    No one has even mentioned the launch of YouView (soon to be this month)

    And I'm sat currently staring at eclipse wondering how the hell can I get this to work. Oh coding would be so much more useful if I'd actually done CompSci

    I know this feeling... but then, I'm not a coder - I can't stand it; I'm glad I made the choice I did.

    To not do a generalist CompSci degree.

    Hi again

    Do any of you know about theming (W7)? I've been using this theme for a while, but there's one thing I can't fix: some of my buttons are really tiny. It also affects buttons in Explorer, but not FF. I'm guessing there is something I will need to change inside the .msstyles file, as the buttons are fine in the default theme and I have the right font size settings in Advance Appearance settings, but I have no idea what I'd have to change. Any suggestions?

    I have attached a picture to show you. I came across this thread, but I have several Segoe UI fonts installed (which the style uses)...

    Just because a generalist CompSci degree was not for me, doesn't mean that it's not for you.

    I want to start learning about version control systems like svn. Mainly for web development but possibly some java projects too.

    Can someone point me in the right direction?

    Anyone fancy spending £300 to watch catchup TV on demand?

    Nope?

    Thought not.

    We don't talk about it because nobody here cares. Just because this is a tech forum doesn't mean we have to discuss every piece of tech news. Hell, if we did, we might as well rename this place "The discussion of Apple patent law suits society".

    I'd join that but I feel I'm in the very small minority who enjoys reading the patent law stuff :ninja:
