Right. Thanks. The option was there, at no extra cost, when looking for a HDMI cable, so I thought I might as well get that one.

Cheers. I bought a HDMI cable with ethernet capability. What does that mean?

Thanks for the warning but perhaps MS has corrected that bug because Chrome is automatically back at the laptop screen with the HDMI plug removed. Upon you mentioning that, I plugged the HDMI back in and Chrome went back to the external monitor; Windows appears to remember my setup with external monitor plugged. When the tower part of my computer comes, is it better to use HDMI than VGA to connect the monitor to it?

Yes.. That worked. Super! I wasn't really aiming for two work spaces but that's what it turns out to be, which is a bonus. I just wanted to use the bigger screen at the start. I thought it would be a lot of faffing about using multiple monitors for different jobs. Does the HDMI interface make the process simpler?

How do you do that?

That works with Opera but Chrome and Firefox still do the same i.e clicking Chrome icon in monitor brings it up on the laptop. other programs seem to be fine apart from those two. It's not a biggie... at least I can use a browser on it. I'm just playing around with the monitor until the tower comes for it.. At least i know how to do it if the screen messes up on a laptop of mine. The picture and resolution is great. Thank you.

I've used the extended option, Windows Display Options and the mouse moves to the external monitor. The screen is now full but when I click icons in the taskbar on the external monitor everything only happens on the laptop, like, if I click Opera browser icon in the external, Opera only opens on the laptop; nothing happens on the external

The mouse stops at the edge of the image

I connected a 1920 x 1080 monitor via HDMI to my laptop, which has a 1366 x 976 screen, and the monitor has a large black gap around it; the screen is not filled. Does the laptop's hardware/software limit the size of the image? Can it be made to use up the full monitor screen? I suspect the pixels used up on the monitor is currently the same as the laptop. W10 is the OS.

Try vinegar in the rinsing water to remove the effects of the insoluble calcium. Or try it neat on the glass.

People need to learn what the terms actually mean to scientists.

That's it and, statistically, it's obviously not significant enough for the experts to advise any different to what they are now or else they wouldn't give that advice.

In reality, people that engage in specific activities generally tend to socialise tightly together, so HIV, Hep C etc is part of their landscape and the stigma will be less, so personal secrecy won't be so common. The statistics and studies seem to support that. I know from my substance-using days that fellow users were pretty open about having hep and I imagine it's the same with the gay community and other high-risk groups. i can't speak from experience about HIV with drug users because I was out of the IV scene just as HIV was coming to public consciousness in the mid-eighties. There will always be a few renegades and you can't legislate for them... nothing's 100%.

Just because some people are dangerous drivers and some of those will kill someone, should everyone be barred from driving because of those people who are irresponsible?

But perhaps the good humanitarian things only got properly established as societal norms due to religious decree at pain of the masses incurring the wrath of their deities.

I was actually thinking of the Turtle Universe model.

One that has always been here is a lot easier to comprehend than one that came out of nothing.

Could apply to many on here that pass through.

With regard to police presence: I think a frequent visible presence is important so that they seen an integrated part of a community life and avoids that 'us and them' division. I don't think it's desirable for them to be only seen when there's trouble around.

That might have been their motivation but there was sufficient disquiet within the population to justify a referendum. I didn't want to leave but felt that a referendum was necessary to create a clear footing for us either way. Democracy didn't go my way but that's the way it is, I think there may be a significant dislike of Theresa in the vein of Hilary. I think she wanted a personal mandate as prime minister more than anything else because she succeeded David Cameron.

I don't think so. It had to be done.

From a humanitarian perspective, the question is contemptuously worded and insulting to those who are not fortunate to be academically able. Boo.

I'm glad this has happened. Normally, I prefer to see a clear majority so that policy can be implemented but this time I voted to help reduce that majority and that seems to have been the feeling of the country. I vote on policies not parties. At this point in our history, with Brexit, everyone needs a say. Even though it didn't go his way, I think David Cameron did the right thing with the referendum from a point of principle and kudos to him for that.

More likely typos.
