    grey background in pdf

    Yeah it was ticked automatically, and is every time i open a document. I dont know if you meant 'case' cos i still cant determine whether thats the cause of it. I played around with some settings like fit to page and changed the paper size but still no difference. None of the colours in the...

    Im guessing thats what you mean... Unchecking the "print as image" box doesnt make those other options active either :s Cheers for your help

    My exam is longer than yours.

    The most interesting variation of a word was something sounding like "scwinjer" instead of scavenger. It was very confusing. Someone asked him to write it on the board. But he is good.. and teaches us sciency nutrition stuff :p

    editing software for voice recording

    Hello.. hopefully someone can help me.. I have recorded some lectures using my mp3... and despite putting it at the front of the room closer to the lecturer than everyone else, all the "background" noises (door shutting, chairs scraping, coughing, etc) are very pronounced but the lecturers...

    Rules for Customers

    Being trained for 2 minutes (maybe it was 15) before being thrown onto the registers, and not being able to immediately recognise a credit card from a normal credit card does not mean you need to tear the signature docket off for me whilst im reading the prompt on my screen, take my pen and then...

    Physiotherapy

    sounds like a lovely fellow.. and is apparently not as dedicated to physiotherapy (on topic) as a physio should be. how are your non-physio studies coming along?

    Physiotherapy

    You are perfectly correct.. no reason at all. We did seem to do a number of other not-so-necessary things though. Meh. It will be over soon. And also, we would not recommend human-human consumption whatsoever.

    Physiotherapy

    we never got to look at dead people not that i really want to... but adding variety to the N&D course would not go astray :|

    the pill

    Fair enough... I tend to find any number of excuses to skip mine: "holidays", "exams", "assignments" etc. Its really no big deal to have one every now and then, its just i feel crap for the first day or so and prefer to avoid it. I take Norimin-1 and I keep it in the bathroom so have it when...

    Firefox slow to start

    Hi.. this is bugging me. I would guess that Firefox takes about 3 minutes to open once i've clicked the quick launch icon (i.e. desktop background is all i see for that time.. once it opens, pages load fine). I have done all the stuff like removing programs from startup, msconfig, virus...
