The tablet is a Motorola Xoom it doesn't have a Kensington lock point as far as I can tell but I'm suffering with man flu a bit at the minute so I've not looked in too much detail.

Does anyone know of a way of securing a tablet to stop it being lifted from the shop without making it too hard to undo if it is needed to be used.
Preferably not too expensive, the other thing is there isn't a lot of counter real estate on the floor so that is a consideration too.

Any help pointing to a product or other solution would be gratefully received. ]]> Hardware dancingbear84 http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=259933 http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=259931&goto=newpost Wed, 22 May 2013 17:39:37 GMT I must admit, I'm not a big fan of the Help for Heroes brand, but I think those guys this avo went a bit far.

So I have a Fan with 3 cables Red Black & White.
I have USB cable (which i've cut) and it has cables coloured Green, Black & Red.

It works if i ignore the green/white cables and just connect red>red and black>black it DOES work.

Its not hugely fast but as i am using it for a roof fan for my small data cabinet it will suffice!

My question to you is!

Can this damage my pc (that its plugged into)

Are the electrics right?

Any hazards electricall?


I presume fan is 12v and USB is only 5v? Is this ok it means it will just run slowly right?

Bit of a lurker here, don't post too often but always read.

Anywho, you guys always seem to give cracking advice re: motors, so here's my query for you.

I'm currently a home based worker but potentially going to have to start working out of the office a lot more frequently (new bosses :sigh:).

This will involve a daily 70 mile commute. My current vehicle is really not up to that and the petrol consumption is high.

I've got a budget of around 10k probably, and i'm thinking i'd like something practical, economic and comfortable but still something that can park in a work car park and not be laughed at! haha.

I'd also prefer a saloon size as we're inevitably going to be starting a family in the next few years.

I've looked at 4wds as we live in a very hilly area and the snow in the last few years has been crazy, but that immediately clashes with the economy of the vehicle so i've pretty much written that option off.

Thanks in advance! ]]> General Westovski http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=259917 http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=259916&goto=newpost Wed, 22 May 2013 10:26:59 GMT R.I.P to Trevor Bolder bass player with David bowies spiders from mars who replaced John wetton In Uriah Heep and later also replaced John wetton again in Wishbone ash A Statement From Uriah Heep It is with great sadness that Uriah Heep...

A Statement From Uriah Heep

It is with great sadness that Uriah Heep announce the passing of our friend the amazing Trevor Bolder, who has passed away after his long fight with cancer. Trevor was an all time great, one of the outstanding musicians of his generation, and one of the finest and most influential bass players that Britain ever produced.

His long time membership of Uriah Heep brought the band’s music, and Trevor’s virtuosity and enthusiasm, to hundreds of thousands of fans across the world. He joined the band in 1976 and, barring one short break, was a fixture until his ill health forced him to take a step back early this year. Prior to joining Heep he was a founder and ever-present member of David Bowie’s legendary Spiders From Mars band, performing on all of their key albums and at countless shows. He also performed with Wishbone Ash, Cybernauts and The Rats.

Mick Box said, "Trevor was a ‘World Class’ bass player, singer & songwriter, and more importantly a World Class friend. He will be sadly missed by family, friends and rock fans all over the world. We are all numb to the core". ]]> General G0UDG http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=259916 http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=259915&goto=newpost Wed, 22 May 2013 10:17:07 GMT So, i went for a motorbike lesson, came back to find my car looking like this Image: http://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv247/Mrhappy444/2013-05-20140107_zpse6ee2642.jpg ...

Car has been written off, we are getting paid £6500 for the car and get to keep it, so we have sold it to a salvage company for £1800, so in a way i am smiling, that is more than the car is worth :D
